Match Thread Brentford v Everton. Sun 28th November. 2pm

[Billy Dean]

Richarlison will be itching to get out of this circus in January

They can all go as far as I'm concerned.

We need to have hope! For me, the big difference is in the mentality of the players because while they may not have had the technical ability they had guts.

And as the saying goes, "Guts is enough!" These players appear to lack that grit and determination; they've got no guile. I think this is what keeps undoing us.

Technically, some of the players may be better but applying said abilities looks to be beyond them.

Yeah, to me confidence and fight looks absolutely shattered and seriously lacking (respectively).

It's one bad bad brew we have alright. I felt the same before Silva's last derby.

 

[Milkman]

We have one of the worst squads in the division. Our best players are unavailable. We have no money to fix it. What do you expect?

Not saying Benitez is without his failings, but there is literally no point sacking someone when this squad is still together.

I hope all those people who keep saying say we can't keep changing managers or give him a chance will now have second thoughts before we end up in the championship.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Unless I've missed it, the media in general have not really commented on the downwards spiral that is Everton. Is it just their general apathy towards us or what. Just wait until they pick up on it, it'll be fun as we as fans will not he able to defend the indefensible.

Who would want to write about that shower? Can’t blame them for not bothering, it’s boring now, we’re a shambles.

Saw this doing the rounds from Adam Jones Video - fans getting right into the players after the game.

That wasn't our boys singing Hey Jude then?

Just not in good form after another sh!tshow. Perfectly understandable. I'm not happy bro and dont want in fighting with other evertonians but this club drives me insane at times. Apologies.

No fighting here but you do have to have a dose of reality and rationality too mate. Yes we could go down but so could the 3 teams already in the bottom and about 4 or 5 teams in and around us. It's not like its the bottom 3 and us that are the only ones going to be in a relegation battle. Teams like Brentford etc will drop points, put DCL or Richarlison in that team today and we most likely win and when DCL is back we'll pick up points again, even under Benitez. The season isn't over but its probably a write off we'll get 10th at best. For some perspective we're still 6 points above Burnley and 5 pts of 6th place.

 

[Sharpattack]

One sub in the game. That must mean that the manager was satisfied with the work rate and overall contribution of everyone left on the pitch.

 

[little elfin]

this kind of performance is good enough to get motm against us lol

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Disgrace, they certainly haven't bought in to the Benitez system.

There's a system?!?!?!?!?

 

[mrb85]

Who we gonna get

Lampard - not the best defensively but we'll score goals and without goals we're relegated.

 

[Chewbacca]

A new low

 

[Leylo]

I'm a season ticket holder,but when the away lads turn its over for the fat fella. Imo

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Worst part of that defeat is I'm not even arsed anymore.

Same here mate, when something becomes the norm (1 in 10 now, or is it 11, can't even be arsed checking) you just get used to it.

 

[Billy Dean]

Lampard - not the best defensively but we'll score goals and without goals we're relegated.

Lampard would take us down IMO
