Am I worried?? Absolutely
Any Everton fan with any knowledge of football should be.
We have a new manager who let's face it hasn't got the best track record in his previous jobs and is insistent on changing our entire style of play over night(cause that always goes so well) with a collection of old and stuck in their ways pro's who want a cushy end to their careers not to have to learn or perform any new tricks! We have a fan base(including me) that have, over the years of false dawns become so toxic that anytime a player miss places the slightest pass or fails to make a crunching tackle wants to burn said player in effigy! We have an owner that thinks throwing money at the problem will fix said problem, but as we've seen many times before doing that only lasts so long before they get bored and decide to pick up their toys and go home. Leaving the club in constant termoil and years of even more depressing situations. Pre-season is supposed to be a time where the fan base can get excited by the upcoming season and seeing new recruits come bouncing into the club with enthusiasm and fight......I see known of that at the moment. I see a club grasping at straws hoping to get lucky and hit the jackpot with a random collection of old players and ludicrously expensive unproven signings. We are building our footings on quick sand. We need to fix our defence and fast but we only have 12 days left to do it or we are going to get destroyed by any team that even knows how to attack.
Scratch that - im not worried I'm petrified!!!
(Well that was depressing to write, sorry blues)
