overkill
Player Valuation: £20m
Our players arnt as good as we think, I see.more talent in Brighton's players
On paper we've a talented squad, but what I think is the difference with a lot of the other teams and Everton appears to be a total lack of, will to win, desire or pride in their work. I said it before it's the worst team I've seen for us, but nowhere near the worst group of footballers.

Mmm not sure could have been any of the three. I would be interested to know how many goals we have conceded from corners this season

Have you been sniffing glue?
Eh?
Five at the back at home and conceded easily?
Coleman at Right back and Digne on the bench. wtf???
Im sorry but there is no defending that today. Im out.

Mind boggling he had 17 days working on Coleman playing left wing back

That was an awful display. Keane and Holgate leaving players unmarked in schoolboy errors, what was Coleman doing out there on the left.
The manager has to go, no arguments.

We might be rubbish but at least we've got our slogans!
I've had a few too many beers to write everything down in an entirely rational and objective manner, but here are my takeaway points from today's debacle.
For a manager who is meant to be defensively minded, we were once again all over the place from the outset: five versus Watford; three at Palace; another three.
The decision to play a waning right-back, who needs replacing in his own position, at left back was beyond the pale when you have a left back available.
I shiver every time we concede a corner as we're so susceptible from any decent ball; Kenny and Allan, both small, standing at the front post offering no threat.
To win the flick on for the goal, their player ambled past Allan and they were queueing up at the back, but for the next corner we did the exactly same routine.
I have no issue with zonal defending if it's done properly, but we're not - nowhere near - nor are we actually man marking, instead just lining up aimlessly.
I know we're short on players, but playing Holgate is so infuriating. Doucouré was shockng today, yet he was kept on for the entirety of the game.
Calvert-Lewin was clearly unfit and needs time to get back to fitness, however I can't forgive anyone for not even putting the ball on target. Come on!
And even starting with five at the back, at home, against Brighton, is enough to get the blood boiling, yet he moans when fans questions his choices.
Let's be honest, we were awful for large swathes and any decent team would have put five or six past us with ease. Too many mistakes from too many players.
