Richarlison, Copa America final.
Mina, Copa America semi.
Squad full of multi-cap full tier internationals.
Several of them went to the Euros.
Must have missed Richarlison yesterday

Interesting comments from the game yesterday especially on Dobbin ‘at least he tried’. He also
mentioned the younger players trying. He was then going on about the things they’d worked on in previous pre-season games just not being there at all.
Isn’t that Everton all over? We’ve seen this for years, I think even Allardyce called it out, maybe Silva also, the things they are working on at the training ground are just completely disregarded when it comes to match day. Levels of effort and intensity seen during training just completely disappear at match day.
It’s an absolute disease at the club, this compete apathy that seems to grip every player and is undermining every manager we have. Imagine preparing a game plan all week, seeing the players on it in training, it’s all looking good, then match day arrives and players can’t pass 5 yards to each other, stop working, don’t run, turn off at set pieces, miss sitters. Then you just rinse and repeat every single week until you’re fired.
If will be Benitez’s biggest challenge to rid us of this. Not many other clubs suffer from this. There’s poor clubs in the league who play like it at times but there’s players in this team turning it on for international teams or former teams (Pickford, Mina, Allan, Siggurdson, Digne Richarlison) at a high level then turning out at Everton looking like a pub player. Watching Richarlison play for Brazil is just a smack in the face, this lad could barely trap a ball last season for us and yet is playing like one of the top forwards in the world for Brazil.
The players need a massive massive kick up the arse and Benitez needs to keep his foot on their throats until these clowns finally decide that they’ll break into more than a light jog for Everton. Until that point I’d play any young player who is willing to bust a gut for us. Throw Gordon Nkonkou Dobbin Simms in whoever and make the first team watch from the bench until it finally gets into their thick heads that they need to actually try a bit on a match day.

Perpetually the wrong way to look at it. Sounds great but in practice doesn't address the core issue.
Here's an example. Why do you think Richarlison is more effective in a Gold medal final that a nothing game at home to Sheffield United?

It doesn't matter who we're playing. Failing to get 14/18 points against anyone doesn't mean we're in trouble.

Let's hope it's the poison from the stands that hurry his exit.
We had nearly £200m worth of players missing.

What do you think happens in an average league match with injuries and suspensions?
It's a non-excuse. Totally bonkers.
We get beaten. The more players that are missing, the more we get beaten by.
That’s what happens. It’s not an excuse, it’s just the way it is.
Our record at Old Trafford is not exactly sparkling. If we go there with half a team this is exactly what I expect.
Got to love how the likes of Kean and Gomes all of a sudden were big misses yesterday. The only 2 players we genuinely missed yesterday were Lewin and Richarlison.
Oh so their value determines how good they are, Jesus wept
With the exception of DCL and Richarlison, that’s as close to our starting lineup against Southampton.
