That's absolutely horrific.

I'd get a massive poster, print it 1000 times and stick it all over FF so the players every day have to see it.

I'd be asking them "Do you want to be remembered as the players who sent Everton down for thr first time since 1951 and be remembered as the squad who had no bottle, heart, desire and passion".

It's just where we are with 5 years of absolutely no plan in recruitment and organization, and certainly no long-term organizational plan besides build a damn stadium.

Ferguson has to take a lot of flack for last night I feel he's seen Gomes produce that sort of performance continuously for years and to be frank, he should of been insistent that he couldn't be trusted against, well any team especially one that press's aggressively with the typical Howe snide.

Er, no.
 
I think last night showed Lampards inexperience highlighted to the world.

It’s by no means a disaster, but he just got it so very wrong, maybe a victim of his own success against Brentford.

Gomes and Allan can’t play in a two, and it’s great timing to have your worst game in a blue shirt.

5 at the back against Newcastle, is inviting pressure and all they were about is kick and run to Saint Maximin. We couldn’t handle it and again lost the midfield battle.

Made the wrong choice. bringing on Branthwaite for me, should have been able to see our game being overran.

But tactically shocking yesterday. It’s needed, he needs to see who is liable for how bad we are. Not one positive from thag yesterday, Saturday will be huge.
 
Presuming that Frank keeps us up, then my expectation for the next few seasons, is just for us to stop becoming a circus, and become a well run and professional football club.

Slow incremental improvement season by season will do fine. Just put some solid foundations in place, for the next manager to build on. This club is way off competing for trophies and european places.
 

He needs to pick 2 of the available centre halves and stick with them. That is the key to our run in. We need a settled defence and consistency of selection. Hes been unlucky to lose a centre half early in each game. Like what are the chances.

Goodison is what we have to fall back on and everyone needs to rally around the team and manager, even if we dont like them.

He had the worst points per game record of any Chelsea manager under Abramovich. Under Lampard they conceded 54 League goals. The worst since 97-98 and they lost 12 League games out of 38. They wouldn't have got anywhere near top 4 if Leicester hadn't imploded.

His tactics are badly outdated. The games has moved on and whilst the top teams look to press and win the ball high up the pitch. Lampard thinks now is the time to try and play it out from the back with slow defenders that are poor in possession.

As for the so-called short list. I think that we will be unlikely to bring in a progressive coach until we get rid of Moshiri and stop hounding out managers.

He's gotta pick 2 from Keane, Holgate and Branthwaite. That's his options.

Takes a brave fella to say the inexperienced Branthwaite is 1st pick and then trying to separate who is better between Keane and Holgate is impossible.

An absolute mess at the back.

Pick 2 and stick with them is all he can do. Hopefully the mistakes are limited and they gel as a pair. We will get nowhere changing every week.

Its a tough call, but I would probably lean towards Keane and Holgate, even though I am not a Holgate fan. I just think the young lad isn't ready yet.
 
He absolutely HAS TO SORT THE DEFENCE OUT. Doesn’t help with Mina looking like a long term injury, but we have to start getting clean sheets.

what did he get wrong exactly?, two injuries in the first half killed us, 5 at the back didn't invite pressure, they weren't in it until we scored, and it isn't a 5 at the back, its actually 3-4-3 with the 2 wing backs dropping in when we are defending, he didn't really have any other option than Branthwaite, the biggest problem on Saturday will be our panic stricken fans screaming get rid if it when we try to play out on Saturday, absolute nut jobs, sounds like you will be leading the screams

We haven't given managers a chance.

I'll hold my hand up and say Koeman I wanted out. He'd spent massively and he'd wasted it. So in his second season I wanted him gone. The others I've supported to the hilt.

Silva should have been left longer to turn us around.
