Is This the Worst Period in Our History

If you look at yesterday's games, there really isn't much in it, from top to bottom, being clinical with chances to score is the key.

Hold no fear of our next group of opponents anyone can beat anyone this season, five subs, PSR and glut of extra fixtures will start to level things up over the festive period.

xmas period sticks us in the bottom 3

we need to fire dyche its as simple as that
 
The Mike Walker days were probably worse imo, HKIII trying to fix it was dire.

Walter smith near the end was atrocious, but we had some decent performances and wins under him and looked arsed.

I think it is our worst period over several seasons.

We should be giving Goodison a magical send off and being beyond excited for BMD, but the way moshiri and kenwright have ran us into the sewer has robbed us of any real joy in that, as we are constantly checking the league table and looking for other teams results doing us a favour which is soul destroying, then add this manager who is helping suck the life out of the club, players and the supporters with his constant negativity and it’s a shitsoup we’re living off.
 

Weirdest... Now we're going to offer a pay rise to a centre forward who can't finish. There's a youngster in the u21s playing well scoring, not a sniff, what's the worst that can happen, he doesn't score. He might get more money then😂
 
He’s not. He just stands there and sometimes gets in the way of something. If that’s considered having a good game then I think we’re more lost than we think.
Probably the wrong thread for the discussion Mate but I think it’s a terrifying indictment of our club and where we are that , in my worthless opinion , he’s probably been our best performer certainly recently .

No wonder it’s discussed as the worst period in the clubs history like .
 
Just following on from a previous post, is this the worst prolonged period of Everton Football Club

Just had a look at other contenders would be

1947-1960 - finishing 14, 18, 18, 22, 7(Div 2), 16 (Div 2), 2 (Div 2), 11, 15, 15.16.16, 15 10 bottom half finishes, 1 relegation plus 3 seasons in division 2

1992-2002 - finishing 13,17,15,6, 15,17,14,13,16,15 9 bottom half seasons with 2 last day relegation fights, plus others. Offset with a 6th place finish in the middle and an FA Cup win

2019-2024 finishing 12,10,16,17,15 plus probably around 15th this season 5 bottom half finishes, 1 last day escape, plus a couple of close calls (Palace)

What do we think? I think personally, now is worse than the 90s as i feel the gap from relegation fodder and becoming good again has got so much larger, back then that gap could get solved with 1 decent signing (Kanchelskis) or a very good manager (Moyes)
It's the worst period for me as a child fan of the 80s title winning teams.

I find it very, very hard now to muster any enthusiasm for our games. There is certainly no excitement nor enjoyment.

I love the international break.

Moshiri and Kenwright did that to the club. This is the owner of the "expected defeats" vintage. Dyche is but a symptom of the problem.

The only fear is how worse it could get. But let's have hope - new ownership, new stadium, and hopefully a new manager soon to get us up the table if just a little.
 
The 90s period was worse for me, but probably because I cared a lot more then.

Seeing the likes of John Spencer, Tony Thomas, David Burrows and Brett Angell amble around cluelessly was for me, far more depressing than this current lot.

Even though at the moment it might feel worse, that new stadium and inevitable new manager are keeping some slight hope alive.
 

Everything about this current crapness points to it being the biggest crap of them all. It's not just about the football on the pitch, it's PSR, FFP, VAR, points deductions......I could go on about why it's so bad.

We love Everton out of habit, not for any other reason. The football is disgusting, the majority of them are overpaid tossers who are managed by an even worse overpaid gobshite with an ego the size of Everest.

I'm 46, so I've seen the decline from 88-94 then 97 up to when Moyes came in and put a bit of fire back in the Everton belly. But this run, since Martinez got canned, has just been utterly depressing and this season in particular is just that one step closer to wishing Everton never existed.
 
We've been relegated 11 times in our history and I've seen 5 of them. Only older Evertonions know how crap we used to be, far worse than what you're going though and gave gone through.. Count your blessings the last time you went down was early 50s.

If you had to watch what we are served up weekly and told we should be grateful for it you'd understand.
Being in the PL isn't all that when your team hardly tries to win a game
 
watching Everton for a few decades now, what i will say the football under these managers
Walker
Benitez
Alladyce
Dyche
lots of dross there, under Moshiri he employed them all apart from Walker.

So to me once Moshiri goes a massive clearance will follow and the club can start living to its moto.

2 WEEKS 🤞
 
The thing that does my swede in is that we are so easily pleased? We would love beautiful flowing football, of course we would. But the vast majority of the fanbase would settle for 10 outfield players who display pride in the shirt and fight for a result.
Yeah, it's appalling what we have to witness - and no, the manager's tactics don't dictate that some of our players have to be gutless wonders. If these fellas were actually any good, they'd still be picking points up in spite of Dyche. How many 2-0 leads did we blow? How many one-on-ones have we missed? We need a new manager tomorrow as far as I'm concerned, but Dwight McNeil, Calvert-Lewin, and the rest have no business wearing our shirt - and they are among the more "talented" of this rabble.
