Gang of [edit] erm, wimps.

Not my assessment, but the managers and captains.

Usually we get the lip service, bit I can't recall a more scathing assessment from an Everton manager?

Ancelotti;

“More than the technical and tactical aspect, which was not good enough, the spirit of the team was unacceptable.

“We have to prepare for the game [against Villa] and work differently and have a different attitude.

“I said to the players, 'This attitude is not acceptable to me'.

“We have to change immediately because we have a difficult game on Thursday and I want to see a different spirit.

Coleman

We got beat by the better team today,” Coleman said.

“I think it was down to [the fact] they wanted it more, which I think is the biggest embarrassment for players, that’s it’s possible the other team wanted it more than you.

“It looked that way today - we were second best to everything.

"Sometimes you can look at the ins and outs of tactics or why we didn’t get the ball to the attacking players but sometimes it comes down to commitment and desire and wanting it more than the opposition".

We have wasted millions on players with average ability and expected to compete it is utter deluded madness
the club is run by clowns that is a fact

And another quote from Coleman.

"Around the place we need more commitment on a daily basis"

Think he means the fans.

This bunch of losers has seen off so many managers they need to be told if you want to be here next season you have to put everything you have in, if not you can go.

unfortunately very true.

So it all comes home to roost we now largely have a squad of mercenaries who accept losing and shrug their shoulders and laugh when we go behind.

You would think that playing for Ancelloti would create some enthusiasm but it would appear not.

 

[LEONARD]

I don't expect any positive reaction for the Villa game.

Individually, and collectively, they do not have the character to redress today's horror show.

I no longer believe a word anyone says at EFC.

No hunger. The only ones with hunger are youngsters like Holgate and Gordon or those with ambition like Richarlison or Digne the rest are a bunch of losers or not good enough. Not a leader amongst them.

These performances are beneficial to us, it’s showing one of the worlds most decorated managers who is up for it and who isn’t.

NEA about the results, they’re showing themselves for what they are

 

[Tubey]

Ancelotti and Coleman should have the cowards responsible face the media and apologise to the fans.

But no, because modern football. Can't upset the millionaires feelings now can we.

 

[longers]

Coleman needs to pipe down tbh. Literally every time he talks up Everton wanting to improve or challenge for Europe we seem to follow it up with disappointing performances... it’s the most predictable thing ever.

 

[PhilRegan]

Very true from coleman. But I wish he would just stop the cliche same old speech after another thrashing from a club still fresh from the championship.

 

[Jim Hopper]

He’s right, sadly to many of our overpaid duds this will just be one ear out of the other stuff. They’ll all get their pay cheques at the end of the week/month and carry on with their half arsed and gutless displays.
