Kin should have gone for Potter, like Brands wanted. Obviously.

Great final audition for Potter

Why would he come?? Better off at Brighton m8

 

[PhilEFC]

As pathetic a performance that I’ve seen from any Everton team I can remember.

As bad as our players are there is no Excuse for how disorganised we are. That is totally on Jaffa.

I don’t know what else to say other than…

“When seagulls follow the trawler it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.”

Thanks

Great final audition for Potter

Honestly we've sunk so far I'm not sure he'd take the job. It'd take him two to three seasons to actually sort us and our support wouldn't be patient enough. I mean from afar we had plenty thinking he was bad because of the last two years at Brighton so imagine 15th and 16th up close? We'd never allow it to get where it is now.

The few weeks Benitez had with the squad have really paid off….
Must have been ripping into the Brie and pate. I didn’t expect this to be as bad as it is. Unimaginably disjointed

Imagine playing Kenny ahead of Digne

Beyond being annoyed...i went past that stage a month ago.

Its just comical at this point.

Laughter... only way to stay sane, Zat.

The defenders are just garbage. They have time to bring the ball down and pass it but no kick the ball out long everytime. How can players at this level can't do the basics.

Dreadful first half performance.

• Coleman playing at LWB is baffling.

• Doucoure & Allan being completely overrun in the midfield.

• Another goal conceded from a corner.

• Kenny showing us why he’s only played once all season; severely lacking in quality.

• Defenders run ragged when Brighton run at us or take shots; no tackling, no blocks and not getting close enough (Godfrey, Keane & Holgate).

• DCL very quiet without any real service up to him. Poor penalty.

• Gordon has put a big shift in but almost looks like he’s trying to do too much himself.

• Gray the brightest spark but again not producing anything of real note.

After 5 years of panic buying, squandering money on players who were not fit to step on the Goodison turf and generally having the arrogance to believe we were better than we are has brought this very predictable outcome.

We are dire all around with not one player in the squad i'd be sad to see go, barring Pickford.

I'd take as much as I could get for any of our "stars" this transfer window, then avoid the drop and start again in the summer with a clean sheet.

You can blame the squad and I do but a better manager gets more out of it

5 defenders has never worked
just like playing out from the back it needs to go in the bin

 

[R.Reddington]

The defence letting us down again…to my utter shock.

Fair play Brighton, they’ve been class.
