I really don't. Boycott is the only worthy response. Our fans know what they are getting into when they turn up at Goodison now: a steaming pile of excrement.
I'm concerned that the club will soon lose its fan base. I've followed Everton for nearly 60 years and I'm losing patience rapidly.
So easy to switch off the present and dream about the good time spells in the past.
Such a pity what with the new stadium and the potential of the club.

Feeling the same way mate, seen the great times and unfortunately seen the bad times. At this present moment the way we are playing and the results are up there with the worse times since I have been a supporter.
 
Still can't get over having 25% possession. It is absolutely embarrassing.

Who goes to watch their team, at home, and expect the opposition to have the ball for three quarters of the game? Opposition that were in the Championship last season, no less.

I know it's not the be all and end all when it comes to getting results, but it shows an intent to be a team that is dictating / in charge and we never are. We are a meak, reactive team led by a manager who loves being "the underdog".

Couldn`t believe we only had that much possession at home to Southampton. You`d be disappointed with that stat against one of the better sides.
 
Looked fine to me last night, not the quickest of the mark but once he gets going he’s fine. Not sure how quick we all expect a 6 foot 6 centre half.
Branthwaite is 6ft 5 and is one of our quickest players I believe.

JOB doesn’t need to be mega fast, just quick enough to recover if there’s slower players around him.

It’s why Keane and Tarks don’t really work well together. We need someone a bit quicker in there.
 
I wonder if our players are just going through a 'when is he getting fired' mode. They play good and hard for a new gaffer then he's fired
after his instructions/substituions/rotation/practices become confusing/annoying/lackluckster and they feel the manager has checked
out so they check out, wait for the new one, play to impress, dip in form, managers thinks 'these guys will get me fired' players
think 'this guy will cost me international spots and they begin to manage and play with a wary eye on each other and not the opponent?
You don’t go ahead against Villa you’re not playing for the manager, I’d say the squad are still with him.
Last night was just the fact that we used squad players who aren’t good enough, we let Southampton pass around like a prime Spain.

As embarrassing as it was having so little possession, we had more clear cut chances, more corners and more shots. They passed for the sake of passing and didn’t actually benefit them in any way at all.
 

Been supportive of dyche up to now because he is a manager who will never get you relegated - its his speciality and i think the club is safe again this season from relegation with him in charge.

But that last night tipped me over the edge, combined with the poor league start, the lineup and choices made to give a chink of light and hope for the season to be extinguished, the last ever League Cup match at Goodison to go like that means i think i'd rather he just went.

Agree with that mate, but us not having the ball for such long periods every game means legs start going and tiredness and brain fog kick in.

That’s when the mistakes start happening and people switch off, because they have ran around chasing shadows for 75 minutes.

The ball is like a virus to our players, bar one or two, they just don’t want it, it’s not a sustainable way of playing football matches.

The opportunities we missed were gilt edged and we should have won in the 90, but the style and tactics are shambolic and unworkable.

The players look lost and so does Dyche.

Yep & that’s one of the reasons why we’ll be selling him for ridiculous money.

He’s got alright acceleration once he gets going, he’s just slow off the turn. He’s quicker than Keane that’s for sure.
 
I think us Evertonians are definately part of a big social experiment to see how much we can take:lol:,the last few seasons have drained everything from me and personally speaking I am an empty shell with regards to our club,we just feel we are in a permanent vacuum and there is no hope,any sort of hope is quickly extinguished!!!

So may saying similar last night mate, it’s heartbreaking that we feel like this.

Load of empty seats near me from fans who normally don’t miss any games, but I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to be near Everton and that football more than they have to, it’s soul destroying seeing us run around like kids, chasing shadows and looking lost agains the Saints reserves.

Few near me were saying if this is the year we do drop, they won’t renew, not even for BMD.

Might just be the emotions talking, but I don’t blame them if they jib it tbh.

Hate seeing my two kids getting battered just from supporting Everton, being the butt of the RS in school, witnessing such awful football from us.

I’m old and ugly enough to take it but they aren’t.
