Can you imagine suggesting zonal marking to prevent illegal entry through the Mexican-USA border? It'd probably be as effective as it is at Goodison trying to keep out attacking players.

From our current first team squad the only outfield player I want see wearing an Everton shirt in 3 years time is Digne.
That says everything about the rest.
If we want to stay mediocre and struggle then keep them all.
My understanding is that we have aspirartions though and that means even though Marco has added some quality compared to last season, we are not a good team and what we have are gap fills and not the solution.
Many of us identified pre-season that this season would have to be a right-off. We haven't been let down.
Such a lot to do, we have to hope we have the right people leading the change.

what's the exchange rate with the Uzbekistani Som?
Indeed.
Johnson wouldn’t let Joe sign Torre Andre Flo and look at hiw he played fir Chelsea, who did sign him.

I often wonder what would have happened if Joe Royle had stayed on as manager. I suspect we would have been a much more feared team and you'd not getting many teams fancying an away day at Goodison at the very least. Would he have bought success? I guess we'll never know...
a new team and maybe a new Manager.........
Well....he did bring us the last bit of success we did have so there is no reason to think he wouldn’t have brought some more

I posted elsewhere yesterday about the huge savings that need to be made, it all needs to begin with a mass clear-out to reduce to squad size, and to stop absolutely flushing money down the toilet. We're paying about £750k p/w to lads who have contributed nothing this season. That's absolutely criminal and unsustainable.
In the summer we need to actively offload: Stekelenburg, Martina, Browning, Galloway, Garbutt, Pennington, Jagielka, Baines, Williams, McCarthy, Schneiderlin, Besic, Bolasie, Mirallas, Tarashaj, Niasse, Tosun.
That's a hell of a squad trim, and we'd only need a replacement LB, CM, and CF to cover all those losses. There's plenty of players who we should sell if the right offer comes in too, but I'm sure we'd all disagree over who that should be.
That leaves us with a permanent squad of about 17, 19 if Zouma and Gomes were to stay which I hope they both do.
Over to you Marcel, hell of a summer on your hands to dig us out of this mess.

Mina is not good enough so delete him from any top quality line up.
a couple of world class academy players...but i'm not sure there is anyone with that potential

The supporters who attend the match need to get behind the players as the atmosphere on match days is toxic, you imagine playing on a Sunday with just with one man and his dog watching and berating your every touch/move/decision.
You'd shrink and not want the ball (maybe, may e not but you get what I mean) now imagine 30-40 thousand people doing the same to you!
WE are the twelfth man, we should be pushing them positively forward whether winning, drawing or losing.
Negativity will only breed negativity.
I believe positively starts with the fans, if the players know that we are behind them they'll respond positively.
We are Everton, the players are Everton,
let's push each other forward.

We have slept walked into our current position beginning the day John Moores died and left us adrift in the increasingly expensive pursuit of glory.
Even when Kendall created one of the finest sides ever, we were running on half empty.
Our failure to create any kind history in Europe has compounded our fall from grace.
We are far diminished from what we once where and any potential return is currently highly unlikely.
