It's called being a past it manager but him not believing that he's past it.
Forgot about him!

We need a midfielder who can actually pass. It’s so infuriating seeing Doucoure & Allan pick the ball up, drive forward only to waste it every time. We’ve got to get on the ball in the middle of the park and start to take control of games. Too much hoof ball atm, absolutely rubbish to watch

Hiya lads.
I think we are all feeling the disappointment of a 1 in 12 stat.
And the journey to get there.
So I am going to join in with my annual condemnation of the current squad.
It was only what, 5/6 years ago we were all full of optimism and had a squad including Lukaku and an interested RB.
All downhill since, and all at the feet of the board. Bad decision after bad decision and Moshiri must be wishing he could go back in time and spend differently.
Pickford. Has his moments, but not our biggest issue. Remember when CA first came in and Pickford was the fans target. But CA came out and said his keeper was not the problem.
Centre backs. All a waste of time. M2M marking, zonal, blaming the manger? Holgate and Keane are NOT Prem quality defenders. Mina might be decent but always injured. Because of more pressing issues in the squad, the CB have been let of the hook. Godfrey might make the grade, but he is always going to get paired with a pub team player. We need an good old pro at the back with a couple of years in him to take control at the back and bring through Godfrey and Branthwaite, for example. Get rid of all the others.
RB. Thanks for everything Seamus. Time to step away. We have all known this for sometime. Priority.
LB. Digne is a very good footballer, but not a great defender. Be a great asset to a squad, but sadly not to be. Hopefully the new kid will make the grade. But then we need cover as I would want to keep Godfrey in the centre.
So straight away, one of my biggest issues is that the whole defence is not good enough. They have good days and we win sometimes. But on the whole they are not good enough and that is why we concede so many set plays and they keep giving the flippin ball away.
Bad enough when you defenders are not that good, but then add in no shield...
Then we need that 3rd quality midfielder to work with Allen and Doucs. Dread to think where we would be if these two hadn't come in when they did.
Not too many issues with our current attacking players, shame they never see the ball much in the first half of games.
So the BBC Priority list is:
RB
DM.
CB - old head, leader/captain
The 'to bin' list is very full, not many would survive.
All the usual suspects need to leave asap, even if they happen to have one good game in a blue moon.
Play the kids.
If you made it all the way down here, thanks for reading!

Agree.
RB & CB (hopefully Patterson sorts the rb slot out)
Still need a creative midfielder as Rodriguez/Gylfi haven't been replaced plus a specialist holding midfielder (though I'd like Gbamin to be given a run of games there in a midfield 3 so we can see what he can do)
Agree with this. James wanted out and where he is playing football speaks volumes for me but he needed replacing.
Gylfi is a bigger loss imo, he gets a lot of abuse in here but I really think he has been missed this season. One of the only players we have with any composure on the ball.
We are crying out for a ball playing midfielder that can control the game. Our problem most of the time is we give the ball instantly back to the opposition. I’d love an Arteta type player again.

Rebuilding is always going to be slow and gradual.
These few weeks are crucial and we will do well to get a couple of quality players in.
The more we slide, the less likely quality players will want to join us.
Amazingly, we are missing our Icelandic #10 this season. Previous managers at least had the option.

our players are just not very good mate!
Take James' 6/7 goals away and his 6/7 assists and Gylfis 8 goals and 3 assists. There's 15 goals between them and 10 assists that haven't been replaced.
An Arteta type player is absolutely spot on mate.

@BigBlueConk is absolutely spot on here...
Two next critical signings should a Centre back and a Defensive midfielder...if we get Patterson over the line.
I see what posters (including Conk) are saying about an "old head" at the back but id go with top quality u23 aged players.
How good have Ruben Dias (24) and Declan Rice (22) been over the past 2 seasons?
We need to find a couple like that...

Just adding on to what I was saying, I think other teams have improved greatly over the last 24 months, especially in the attacking third.
This is why we are getting found out at the back more than previous seasons.
Any oppo manager must be rubbing his hands with delight when he already knows the calibre of Everton defenders.
