Jesus christ.
The short memories of some is shocking. So frustrating listening to you all **** off our manager.
Yesterday was one of the most gutting performances of the last 10 years, maybe it was Moyes last FA cup game in charge.
I for one will always hold him in high regard from turning us from relegation fodder to European contenders,
Hes brought it all on himself at the moment Mick.
You know my stance on Moyes.
But hes let himself down, hes let the Club down, but more importantly, hes let me down and when I say me, I mean the fans that give him 100% support.
I dont blame him for yesterday as such, he picked a strong team, CLEARLY the inclusion of Neville turned into an awful idea, but the players let us down yesterday. Anybody with eyes has seen that Osman and Neville is a League Two midfield, Osman is a terrible player, sure he looks good when we are on top, he scores some great goals and on the ball at times hes superb, but when the chips are down, he lacks the sleeves to roll up and Neville, whilst a good leader, has never been good enough to play CM in the Premiership. Sure in the past ive defended him, thats cos hes not always utterly terrible, but you put him with Osman in midfield and I bet most oppo Managers wet themselves.
Fellaini is a sulky narky [Poor language removed] as well and I dont think he relishes the AM postion anymore, it hasnt really been "working" for a few weeks now and the frustration is clearly showing in his play. But Moyes keeps it going cos it worked in August.
Jelavic looks a shadow of the player he was, he had that 1 snapshot that looked dangerous, but most of the time he looked like a dodgy Torres with big ears, he could barely trap a ball.
Even Baines - 9 was awful yesterday, when Leighton Baines plays like Stephen Warnock you know something isnt right.
Clearly this contract issue is playing heavily on some of the players, I honestly didnt think it would, but we have been awful for months now, sure, tiredness could be a factor, but some players have been "rested", banned, injured and im sorry but a week is plenty of time to re-charge batterys, even baring in mind a long Season.
The decision to bring in only Stones in January is quite possibly 1 of the worst things ive seen in the last 11 Years, other windows in the past we havent had money, so you can see why we havent made signings, but its clear we had money and it wasnt spent and now we reap what we sow.
Im not gonna point fingers and I understand the "dont spend for the sake of spending" arguement, but quite frankly David Moyes watches football 24 hours a day and im sure he has a very long list of players he feels would improve us, clearly the whole Fer thing was a major blow, but the January window cost us our Season.
Today I feel quite low, as im sure others do, its gonna take me some time to get over Yesterday.
I know I picked on a few players in this post, mainly Osman, im not blaming any 1 person, collectively Everton has failed, The Chairman, The Manager, The players and to some degree we as fans, yesterday was an FA Cup Quarter Final and we didnt show up, we barely even sang a song, yes its hard to motivate when you have no motivation, but we as fans, we should really have done better.
So im not gonna spend the next week defending Moyes, ripping Osman and pointing to our Net spend, im gonna sit in my dressing gown and drink bleach, whilst watching the everton season review 08 09 on repeat.
IMWT? NSNO?
Everton arent we and we are hurting.
