I thought he was a really good player who had a good impact for us, scored some good and some important goals, and just wasn't fancied by Smith. Granted we got him nearer the end of his career, but we have had many worse strikers before and since and he played a big part in keeping us up. We would kill for a striker scoring 6 goals in the run in now.

Like I say, the miss against Liverpool was horrendous, and even more baffling because he almost scored goal of the season in the 1st half, then fluffed the easiest chance he could possibly have had.

Madar didn't score 6 goals in the run in. He scored 6 goals over his 2 seasons with us, one of which was on his debut.

Saw someone elsewhere say this was worst squad ever in terms of ability. It certainly is in terms of mentality but feel rest is OTT.

This was 11 for final two games of that season v Arsenal and Coventry:

Myhre

Carl Tiler
John O'Kane
Craig Short
Bilic
Ball
Dave Watson
Beagire
B***by
Hutchinson
Dunc

Not a clue what defence or midfield was put out in that one!

Madar and of course Farrelly were the only two changes from that for Coventry.

Better than this current shower? They did actually get to 38 points that season.

The 97/98 team was always my yardstick as the worst everton team i’d ever seen but this current bunch have surpassed them not just on a equivalent points basis but the fact they’re more talented but just don’t have the balls for the fight.
 
The current team are abysmal. We have seen them for over 12 months make mistake after mistake.
How anyone can say JJK Holgate Godfrey Doucoure Gordon Gray Keane etc have more ability than the 98 team is plainly ridiculous.
Godfrey Kenny and Holgate are utter liabilities and terrible footballers. Not even Championship level. Can't pass, shoot, head , dribble or cross. Slow, small and thick as two short planks to boot. Get them out of the squad.
 


Funny how the narrative now is that the 94 and 98 teams were full of grafters and strong characters. It was never the view at the time. They got the same stick this lot get.
