The Holy Trinity
Player Valuation: £10m
After another woeful display at Goodison against a very poor side (Scott Parker aside) I must admit I am now extremely concerned. The expected run after Christmas has failed to materialise as another home game has gone against a team we should be beating. David Moyes seems for me to have lost his way. His substitutions were simply baffling again today !!!
His starting line up was the same as the Derby, a game in which we were dreadful in the first half at Analfield and carried this on today. After a terrible first half how he decided at half time when 1nil down to the basement club to take our top scoring centre forward off is beyond me. Yes Becks has his faults but the lad is a goal scorer, i.e he only needs 1 chance! He took Becks off and puts his favourite on in Saha. To be fair to Saha he was average which is better than normal although he still spends far too much time miles away from goal. This left Victor Anichebe as our main striker ? He is Lazy, NOT a striker (7 goals in his Everton Career, Becks has 5 already) spends too much time moaning and doesn't keep the ball !!
Bily came on and dragged some life into the team co-inciding with moving Felli up front. Somehow Osman survived ?? Moyes also took Vic off when we needed to win the game ! Yes the players are not playing well but they also need a clear strategy and players playing in the correct position. Moyes needs to start having some faith in Becks and Bily and lets have a good go at teams. I think I'm not the only one who thinks that Moyes never has a plan b and never knows how to change a game.
For me the team looks totally disjointed , the midfield Fellaini apart were quite simply not good enough. Our esteemed spaniard is looking worse by the week and has me wondering whether we have sold the wrong midfielder !! Why is Leon Osman starting ? Too slow, yes he works hard but really ask yourself this question how many teams would he get in ? Seamus had a nightmare.
This season is a write off now where the league is concerned so we need to start planning for next season. The only thing is Davie may not be here ! How much longer will he stand for having no money again. How much longer will he allow his own drive and ambition to be suppressed ? Our useless board has now ensured that we have fallen behind teams again by not creating the finances for the manager ! We are just keeping our heads above water and I think that David knows that now and is struggling to see how we can improve and I think this is now weighing him down. His decision making has been poor again today as it has been for large chunks of this season already. When you look at something for so long you eventually can't see it in the same way, hence the Wood for the Trees statement !
I fear that the club needs to be clear in its strategy but I know that it really is not !!! Big decisions are needed by all including the supporters as otherwise we are heading back into relegation battles !!
I am a very concerned Blue at the moment .....
