Yeah, having him in the touchline feels like a random Evertonian managing the team, ofc as an ex-footy player he knows way more than fans but still very passionate and emotional. two-edged sword
he’s going on adrenaline, the longer he stays as interim the sooner he will lose a game, and there will be questions about bad tactics or lineups or subs, whatever. That’s all fine and as it should be.
He might be not ready for the job or tactically naive.
the confidence and fight in the side was below zero after Anfield. Beating Chelsea was excellent but if you’re looking to find fault you can say it was just due to whipping up the home crowd. Why that’s not a good thing to do in support of an effort to win is beyond me but ok.
Going into OT with a decimated side, losing two on top of that to match day illness, to use players out of position just to get anXI, putting players in the match day 18 who haven’t had a sniff of it in two years and are still only here because we can’t offload them even on a free, facing a side with better quality at most positions higher up than us in the table, at one of the most intimidating venues in the game in its heyday.....
coming out of that with a point, and having the better of it for significant stretches-
The team now believes it has a fighting chance to beat the second best side in England and get to the cup semis. The job suddenly looks like a much better job than two weeks ago.
tl;dr I don’t give a f*** if he’s using voodoo dolls
