It’s the way the modern media portray the players so the fans latch on, our fans are definitely amongst the most fickle around, the forums prove that on a monthly basis.
We haven’t won a trophy in 30 years, we had an owner/chairmen calling us a small club, for over 20 of them years.
Our local journalists have constantly played us down. The media/sky/talksport etc see us as a small club, no bigger than Fulham or Crystal Palace. And some of our fans think exactly the same
Some don’t and still expect us to be better and strive for better even in difficult circumstances and not just accept mediocrity. The echo pod in December, we’re still taking about dyche taking us into BMD and telling anyone who’d listen that Beto is not that bad and Harrison isn’t that bad and we should definitely keep doucoure. I listened to a pod yesterday of 2 Everton fans and yes it’s opinions, but one said I wouldn’t buy lindstrom for 30mil but would for 10mil. Surley Every Everton fan knows he’s not good enough.
I had same discussions on here 3yrs ago about Tom Davies, he’d played around 100 games by then and some still wanted to give him more time to prove himself. Andre Gomes lived of the back of a good game at anfield for 3yrs.
Im not saying let’s sell McNeil, I think he will be here next year as back up to Ndiaye. But there’s no way he will ever be good enough for a team that wants to move Foward, spent 7 years in the relegation zone, bought by another poor prem team once he was relegated,
Not a sniff of an England cap and there’s been some poor players winning caps over the years.
New owners, new board, new ground, new start let’s start having some ambition and not just accept [Poor language removed].
