Have the players downed tools on us?

Everton on the practice pitch

Some of them are clearly going through the motions and doing the bare minimum they have to.

I’m singling out DCL, Mykolenko, McNeill, Davies, Mina.

Iwobi looks busy, but he’s absolutely toilet.

Gana was the only player in midfield shading Brighton but has got steadily worse since.

Gray, Tarkowski, Coady and Onana are the only players who you would take into a battle with you.

I think they are petrified

 

[Chegsy]

They just aren’t good enough. We have been slowly selling off our best players and replacing them with average players.

Does feel like a few just don’t want to be here though. Maybe they are nearing the end of their contract or know of interest elsewhere.

We hear alot about players downing tools on managers here over the years, but have they finally downed tools on us, the fans after last weeks protests?

This squads never had the tools to begin with. Totally toothless.

 

[Davideeyore]

I'm not sure they've downed tools, they're just rudderless. Lampard and his team just haven't worked here at all.

Ain’t that the truth.

To be fair, it felt like the manager downed tools in the second half.

A man who knows his fate. He just gave up. It honestly looked like he was saying his goodbyes to the players at full time.

 

[Bluemersey]

No they are just utter rank. Its that simple. By giving them reasons gives them an excuse. They keep getting managers sacked and one walked away. They are as a group the worst bunch I've ever witnessed at Everton. Slow, gutless, soulless, talentless and clueless. There said it.

 

[Bluebonic]

Would you be arsed slogging your guts for fans that harass you and your family as you're leaving your place of work? I wouldn't.

Back to Mordor lad, see if you can scrounge up any more ‘asthma’ drugs for your lads, thye seem to be running out of steam.

I thought they did better after the two half time changes. We actually kept the ball better and looked more solid. It could also be that West Ham were happy to sit back and defend.

I don’t think they downed tools, they’re just not good enough.
