We have the manager, we have the money and we finally appear to have a plan. We dont have a defence of midfield of any repute so it is a no for now. But hope springs eternal.

The evidence from across the Park would suggest you don't need a great midfield to win things.
 
I'm certain we're going to get better results next season, if not exhilirating performances.
 

they have midfielders who are physical and can run at full pelt three games in a week. We have the slowest midfield in the league who can’t sustain performances beyond 20 minutes.
Their creativity comes from the full backs and front 3.
As your correctly say , all they want from their midfield is physicality , mobility and the ability to make a quick accurate pass.
 

If we didn't have money to spend Carlo wouldn't be here. Carlo + Money = exciting times.

If Carlo leaves because he doesn't get what was expected when he joined, then we can all jack in supporting the club. So that will be a weight lifted if the worst happens.

To balance all that positivity I have to say at the moment my god are we a chore to watch. It's like 11 strangers picked off the street to play a game they had never heard of before. Just lucky that there are 8 or so clubs look like they are in the same position. :p
So are you half full or half empty don't sit on the fence.
 
ON Carlo's interviews he says time and again that he has a lot of players with the club now that are the future ,so fasten your seat belts and we are off .
He can see what we see and yes the last two games have not been an easy watch but we all know that the results are what is needed to entice better players when the window opens .
My cup runneth over .Or am I just praying he turns us around before I kick the bucket?

Holgate Digne Gomes DCL Richarlison Kean are the ones he’s waxed lyrical about it in the past and I reckon he sees there half of a top back 4, a creative mid that needs support but can be at the top level (as he’s shown for us at stages) and three top young strikers. Who knows if Iwobi is included in that group or not.

To add to that he seems to be content with Pickford and Mina also. This isn’t 17/18 we’re you’d look at the squad and think there is nothing there to work with, a lot of the hard painful work has already been done. He’s arguably picked up the squad just at the start of the upwards curve where young players are coming good and poor players are coming to the end of contracts. A few additions and we could be a serious force.
 
I hate to be a beacon of positivity in an otherwise depressed, glass half empty woe is me kind of forum (we are evertonians after all?) But my god we have improved massively since that day ol' Marco left.
I'm obviously not the first to say this, even those lads at MOTD agree but watching us play it really is night and day. Remember when we conceded goals at set pieces for a laugh? Well were scoring them now! Remember when the reaction to going a goal behind was throwing 19 strikers on in blind hope? Remember never winning away for what felt like a decade?
We look like we have a plan now, analysing oppositions strengths and weaknesses and adjusting accordingly. It's coaching at its most basic level but my god it's been absent.
Let's sign a couple and go flying into next season with that glass half full instead. UTFT!

Hate to be a terrible bore but the 4 nil beating from Chelsea 3 games ago was one of the worst performances I’ve seen and half the side is nowhere near good enough. My glass is half empty but before Ancelotti came in I never even had a glass.
