Everton have flattered to deceive enough time’s with good teams that we don’t also need to beat them up when they do alright with poor teams. If love us to have steamrolled Chelsea United and Arsenal but simply these players are not good enough. Arsenal were playing for a new manager also and have better players all over the pitch than us. They would have thought we were there for the taking. Leicester are miles better than us currently too. We can’t just throw out line ups that include Coleman Keane Baines Davies Schneiderlin Siggurdson DCL and expect to maul top 6 teams. Half that lot wouldn’t stand out in the championship.
Ancelotti and Brands need to get us to the point where we have a squad of 22 players all too 6 standard, then lo and behold we might actually get into the top 6 again. At the moment we’re demanding that despite half the squad being complete trash.
The problem is that Moyes was actually a very good manager for us (denied by a large part of the fan base) who had some players such as Arteta Pienaar, Lescott, peak Baines, peak Jagielka, Yakubu, Cahill who could walk into other teams in the top 6 easily (most of them underrated by Everton fans) and so delivered top 6 regularly. Because of the ridiculous revisionism of the fans now to paint a picture that Moyes was a clogger with clogger players, there seems to be an assumption now that any collection of rubbish players managed by any bloke should be able to batter top teams home and away as long as they ‘have a go’.
None of the last three teams in the league were there for the taking. Ferguson did well to get us 5 points and for more out of a poor group of players than Silva has done at any point this season.
