The January window is vital to avoid a spiral towards lower mid table.
The spiral to lower mid table has already started.
Depending on results this weekend we could be down around 9th or 10th by Monday night.
After that....who knows

Yes well spotted “criticism”.
I have not once said “want him sacked” which is what you wrote.
Sadly mate unless we change system to a 2 man midfield or unless Davies is given a chance and miraculously turns into Piro I fear there’s a lot more of Sigurdsson to come. I don’t know why and again it really irks me but Ancelotti seems to like him a lot.
Then we will lose a lot more games.Sadly mate unless we change system to a 2 man midfield or unless Davies is given a chance and miraculously turns into Piro I fear there’s a lot more of Sigurdsson to come. I don’t know why and again it really irks me but Ancelotti seems to like him a lot.
There is a lingering whiff of kopite in many of your posts, mate.Could easily get us relegated if we drop into the bottom 6 sides
%100 agreed johnCould easily get us relegated if we drop into the bottom 6 sides

Ancelotti and Simeone? Some of you are seriously deluded lol
Ancelotti not realistic.
If we’ve no chance of Gallardo or Jesus, then Emery all day long.
3 defeats on the bounce. Shame for him we can’t play Salford and Fleetwood every week to improve his stats.
please don’t try and make excuses for him, he’s not even making the team hard to beat and the football is dull and toothless.
Just like last week at Newcastle and away at Southampton. All huff and puff when we are losing without any end product or real threat.
Think he’s seriously looking like he has no idea what to do with this squad.
maybe one of those managers who’s only good with big name players?
Ancelotti is the only chance we have of pulling any decent talent in, as his reputation is all we have. No European football again, a worn out and relic of a stadium etc...or we pay over the top wages to average players to get them to come, but that then poses all sorts of other problems.
He’s got such a difficult task this coming season.
This has to be one of the worst Everton sides of the last 30 years doesn't it?
It's not just the games since returning from lock down either. Garbage under Silva until he went, Ferguson revitalised them for a few games, but we are now back to levels under Silva, comparable with what we saw under Koeman in his second season, or Martinez's last season.
A massive cull and rebuilding job is needed or it will be a relegation fight next season.
I know they have brought Ancelotti in to change it, but this is a serious challenge he has and I honestly can't see it working due to the amount of dross he has to get rid of first.
Really, really concerned about the future of this club.
If you think he’s doing well, watch the Southampton game from last night and realise how fired up their players are for every game at the moment.
Not turning on him, but I’m not going to keep giving him eternal grace because he’s Carlo Ancelotti either.
if we lose this that’s 1 point out of 12.
Throw in last seasons end of season form and horrific performances and it’s really not good.
Needs a massive turn around in next 45 mins.
Mate, I’m going off what we are seeing on the field and I’m simply not believing he gets a free pass because he’s Carlo Ancelotti.Personally think it's completely dumb criticising to that level when he's only here a short while and only had a few games with his new signings.
Still more players to get rid of and more to get in to improve us
I'd personally say a solid top 8 this season and he will have lifted us from the utter mess we were in and the path we were on.
A top 8 finishing position is going to include bad games.
Questioning a bit, but waiting until much more time has passed or reviewing at the end of the first full season before worrying.....yeah.....but criticism like you have given in the quotes.....nah sorry. Silly impatient football fan crap for me
You aren't asking for him to be sacked but you are drawing some very strong conclusions and putting the boot in there. I don't see it as too far off. In fact when I read posters like that I imagine they'd quickly be one of the first to mention sacking if God forbid they lost 3 more games
I don’t think people are saying it’s just a couple of weeks or 3 games though. Last season, we produced some of the worst performances under him. Particularly post lockdown it was woeful. I’m just shocked at the amount of goals we are conceding. They should be better drilled and organised defensively under a world class manager. Wouldn’t you think? At least be hard to beat?
