organisation is one thing, which we have. Determination and the ability to utilise your own professional brain during a game rests with the players

unless you think ye still in ye ma’s playing FIFA and that’s how real togger works
Organisation? we have just conceded 3 to relegated Bournemouth for the second time this season. :):)
 
I don't understand personally why he has played Davies game after game as an example.....so if he carries him into next season as well then that will give us genuine cause for alarm.

Because we have literally had 3 Centre Mids the entire time he has been here, 1 of which has been Sigurdsson. Gbamin is a write off, Delph practically has been. When he arrived, Gomes was too. So we had Davies, the Ghost and Schneiderlin to pick from. Then Gomes came back, the season got put on hold, and Schneiderlin left, so still the same 3.

Davies has been below par, but the whole midfield unit has been, so I will reserve judgement. He is young enough and talented enough to improve. I think of it at the moment as having a car with 3 wheels. You can keep swapping which wheel is missing, and get varying results, but it's still not going to function properly.

The football has been pretty shocking if we are being honest.

He has taken over a really poorly balanced squad that lacks quality and character to boot. We had lost 9 from 15 before he arrived, twice at home to newly promoted teams, and lost to the other promoted team away. Between Carlo, and not forgetting the input of Ferguson, we have ended up disappointed by not getting into Europe as the season ended with a whimper, mostly down to the aforementioned weak squad.

My cousin said the other week, its mad how we can make 5 changes and still seemingly field the same team every week. It was pretty much spot on. They are all dead on their feet, and the 9 games in 4 weeks after a 3 month layoff hasn't helped.

so one of the greatest ever managers cant motivate or organise a team into a hard working cohesive unit? name me one thing you have seen that gives you hope for next season, you think he is going to go out and buy the European football equivalent of the Harlem globetrotters in the summer and turn us around?

The fact that he managed to get this side as high as he did. Organisation, tactics and the inspiration and belief he has brought in. We played Aston Villa last week, who survived relegation on the last day, and honestly, there is probably only Gordon from our current set of midfielders that I wouldn't gladly swap for any of there's.

Add to that the improvements in Holgate, Calvert Lewin, Richarlison, Digne & Keane, and the introduction of Branthwaite and Gordon, and I would say there is some hope, albeit with a massive Everton caveat attached. Another glimmer of hope is those that haven't performed have well and truly shown their true colours and will hopefully be told that they have no future. My guess is some already have, and that's 1 potential reason for the total apathy in performances.

Somehow, we have attracted a manager of his calibre to our club, and it is a project he wants to oversee, we shouldn't be in any sort of rush. Give the man a chance, give him time, back him, and believe he knows what he's doing, and hopefully, the players he keeps will do the same.
 

Carlo Ancelotti, you are not fit to wash out Big Sams' gravy boat; get on your Vespa, you spaghetti munching fraud, and get the hell out of our club!

I kind of felt sorry for Carlo when I saw him during the Bournemouth game. Some people said he was fuming, but I felt he had more of a look of disappointment and betrayal. He's given players a fair enough crack of the whip to prove their worth and show him that they want to be part of a new and exciting chapter in the history of Everton Football Club... but for the most part, they've just spat it right back at him. We have a new stadium in the pipeline, an owner willing to pay out for players, and top-class manager who is respected around the globe. The players should be thinking 'I could be part of something massive at this club..' and really going for it. But instead, most of them have looked like they couldn't care less.
 
Look, I don’t see the point in heads falling off. Carlo surely has noticed our problem areas, it was a game where the players clearly couldn’t be bothered, and assumably, some have already been told to find new clubs. Also there’s no chance he leaves before next season
 

he took over 11 days before the window, I’m sure the all conquering Carlo Ancelotti would have like to have worked with his players before pulling out the axe

I mean he is known as one of the best man managers ever
Let's be honest, if you took someone off the streets and showed them Everton right then do you not think they would have said "that part in the middle is terrible"?

Being an excellent man manager doesn't make players magically not crap

And I'm not blaming Ancelotti, I'm blaming Brands

But a world class manager would try and impose his methods, ways of working and tactics before wielding the axe

like I said, it’s why he’s one of the most respected and successful managers in world football. He’s probably had abar 15 training sessions before the window close

edit: plus he got 14 points from 21 before the window closed
 
Can’t believe what I’ve read here tonight. People questioning literally one of the worlds greatest managers because these spineless cowards couldn’t put a performance out against a team who were basically already relegated. Of course they were unmotivated, they have been all season. Say what you want about Silva or any other previous managers but they cost him his job. This won’t be the case going forward though. Of course they’ll get rid of Silva, he’s a nobody, Carlo on the other hand, no chance. Brands will look at these pathetic excuses for footballers and see exactly what they’re at and Moshiri won’t part with the “Hollywood” manager that’s he’s always wanted (for better or worse). Under Carlo the manager will have the power and with these comments today I can see him as not making excuses but exactly the opposite. He’s called the players unmotivated, not himself, he’s made it clear that “those who stay” will be his players, wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already told certain players that they have no future. He’s hung them out to dry as he should. Let’s hope Brands can do some work on shifting them because if we can get them off the wage bill that alone would be huge, transfer fees would just be a bonus. Big Summer ahead but with Carlo and Brands working together I really hope we can get it right. It’s gonna be a long road but look with no Europe next season we can get away with a slimmer squad just need to pack it with more quality.
