Morning Matty, would you like to see Niels Nkounkou start at left back on Saturday?

I think a few want to see him. But lets not forget his senior league appearences are.
Marseille 0
Everton 1
I'd still throw him in. If he gets rinsed by chelsea then at least we might know a bit more. Ancelloti had one of the best left backs in the history of the game. If he thinks he's ready im sure he'd give him a go.

I would say we don’t have a choice at the moment. The alternatives are players shoehorned out of position who aren’t good enough there either.

Even Danny Murphy just said it. Ancelotti isn't suited for the fight that Everton need now. Hes best suited to a ready made squad full of superstars with back up in every position. Hes not a master tactician and the best we can hope for with ancelotti is to finish in the positions we are in now.

So put simply, if hes not backed on a massive scale by the board in the upcoming windows then there's no point him being here.

See, that was my worry about him when he came in. But now that Danny Murphy has said what I was a bit worried about, I have to completely rethink my position on everything.

I didn't even hate Marco, he was just utterly and completely out of his depth. He never should have been hired to begin with. Who hires someone who relegates a team then wins 6 out of 9, the bottom drops out and he loses almost the rest and gets sacked? Apparently? Everton..

Yeah he was neither likeable or unlikeable for me. Probably one of our more forgettable managers. Had hardly any presence as a person.

My default picture of him in my head is him standing on the touch line with his head down looking like a kid being told off.

Even if he doesn’t start, he should definitely be an option on the bench. I think that is what is so frustrating. He is going to extreme lengths to exclude the only fit RB and LB we have.

Who is fit Duncan?

Jonjoe is fit Carlo he’s over there running.

That’s him running?! Why is he moving so slowly? What about left back?

Niels is over there doing backheel flicks pretending he is Roberto Carlos.

Who are they playing at the weekend Dunc?

Pulisic and Werner.

Get Iwobi and Godfrey over here now.
 

Moyes: We kept the values at Everton but it takes time​

0_GettyImages-168608612.jpg


Speaking in an in-depth interview with The Coaches' Voice, David Moyes has been reflecting on his 11-year tenure as Everton manager.

With current Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti having followed four other men in the Goodison Park dugout since the Scot's departure, Moyes cautioned that it takes time to turn clubs around.

The now West Ham United manager said:

"My first year we did well, second year we didn't. Third year better, fourth year not so good.
"That's the process it takes and I hope this interview goes out to some of the owners.
"I hope a lot of the owners are watching because I'd say it took time to change what was there.
"Time to change contracts round, time to move people on. Time for people to maybe naturally grow a little bit older and have to change club.
"And for also to have time to bring the players in. You can't bring them in all at one time.
"So I think the coaches, we all understand that. The problem is getting the owners to understand that or the CEOs to understand that.
"What I will say, if you look at our success at Everton, over the piece we were finishing in the top seven, eight, six, five and eventually four, over a long period of time.
"I think that came from stability at the club, getting to know how the club works and getting to know the theme of the club.
"I think to change football clubs round is not something you can do very quickly, it takes a long time to do that.
"But I hope we kept a lot of the real values at Everton: what the supporters wanted; what they needed, but we were also trying to take it into a modern culture, modern players, modern style.
"If you look at our success at Everton, I think it was remarkable what we achieved in the time with what we had.
"We were always pushing and in my last two years at Everton saw us finish above Liverpool in the league."

What a bizarre response.

He’s literally leaving our only fit LB and RB out of the squad when we’re missing our first choice starters.

The lengths some people go to to protect Ancelotti from criticism:lol:

Are you at finch farm everyday watching?
You have zero knowledge other than your rants on a forum.
Talking of bizare.
 
I've said it before, we got carried away with the start to the season and Ancelotti was getting praised to the hilt because of it but in reality those first 4 league games were an anomaly, the Everton we're seeing now is the real Everton, we're just not very good and are an average team. There lies the problem in regards to the grief Ancelotti is getting now, he's getting slated because of those first 4 league games and us getting carried away. He had a massive job on his hands when he first came in and we've lost track of that, so talk of sacking him is ludicrous because he needs time and a few more transfer windows to try and get it right.

The "Champions" thread isnt getting as many comments ha.
As if seriously people didnt know how big a turnover was needed here. Its not the worst squad i have ever seen at Everton. Some of the early 90s was dross. But that was a squad assembled on a shoestring budget. For money spent this is the worst unbalanced squad i have seen.
Complete idiot if anyone thought this was a quick fix.
