A divided fan base still when we are playing great football

[ClausThomsen]

Serious question here, you were annoyed we went behind as was I. What would Carlo have done to rescue the situation?

It's difficult to say for sure but when Ancelotti had the very good start to last season one game involved going behind to WBA before winning 5-2.

As enjoyable as winning is it's not unreasonable for some fans to see that there are obviously improvements to be made and take a calmer longer term view. Benitez probably sees more issues with the first half than anyone on here. And he probably has a few ideas about things that could have been done better even after the goal flurry.

As a fanbase we've enjoyed similar gulps of "fresh air" during promising starts seen by the like of Koeman in 16/17 and Ancelotti last year. Their subsequent collapses show that the opening few games do not make a season or cement a managers legacy at the club.

While there are probably a very, very small minority eagerly awaiting a slip from Benitez I think the notion that those not going wildly overboard about a good result against Burnley are somehow anti-Everton or "melts" is an odd one.

Everton winning togger matches is what we all want.

Enjoy and savour the good, forget the bad.

I wish I'd have remembered the term "melt" and used it first, I thought that was my first name as a kid lol Balanced post though from you and I agree. Very early days. However as I said I can only comment on the 4 games so far plus the league cup match. All very good!!! Can't fathom how some would say otherwise.

Ask carlo

Wont get anywhere there. The brow will rise up the fod and he will just say what he thinks is the answer you and others want to hear. He is a lying rat who was out of his comfort zone trying to manage us. No plan b only plan was defend win set piece snatch goal defend deeper. If we went a goal down defend deeper damage limitation.

I'll never understand why some people let other fans (especially when those other fans are strangers on the Internet) effect how you view the match or enjoy it. If some people want to be a misery arse then so what? It shouldn't effect you. Personally I'm buzzing with tonight's win and I don't care how others feel about it. Look, I don't know if I'll be equally buzzing with the result this coming weekend against Villa or fuming or maybe just somewhere in between but I can guarantee you that my views and feelings won't be dictated by other people!

Amen to that mate, great result tonight.
Everybody FFS stop looking for negatives and Just enjoy.

Carlo had us on 12 points after 4 games last year. Benitez out

You are easily pleased

Happy with the freak 6 mins, annoyed we went behind to a terrible team..again and the first 60 mins were as bad as anything under Carlo

Serious question - when were you last happy with the Blues?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I’m happy with the points on the board, but I don’t see why we have to pretend the football has been that good

Pragmatism is fine, there’s no need to put lipstick on a pig right now when it comes to talking up the quality of the football

The majority of the football we’ve played so far this season has been pretty basic stuff

And you know what, if it keeps getting results then that’s great

 

[NathDogg]

Great result and second half showing, but that first half was absolutely abysmal. Anyone who says otherwise is a friggin nutcase.

3 at the back v the dingles is a piss take, and up there with the worst Walter Smith threw at us.

Fair play to Benitez for changing it - I thought Gomes was bloody brilliant when he came on.

If not happy then go and support someone else.....troll. We are in 2021 not 1985 we are not a mighty Everton anymore or have you been asleep

But it's not one track any more, and the players looker fitter and meaner and hungrier. Jeez I wanted Gomez and Iwobi gone 6 weeks back, different players now. They seem to have been woken up as all have the others. Very different to last season when when we went one up I was waiting for payback. Now I feel we can adjust to suit circumstances.

Your going to have to accept last season was the best start we had in 30 odd years and was a freak accurance and the wheels fell off right now we lost 3 games in a row. I can't see us doing that this time. And that more than pleases me. This is fantastic. How can you not be pleased.

Oh yeah, agenda. Nevermind.
