We didn't exclusively play hoofball at the start of the season, including during our first run of good form, and we did fine. We resorted to type during and after our bad run. The squad is capable of playing different ways, anyone saying anything else is being disingenuous.
Agreed. I would also point out that we have had various managers and a revolving door of players in that time. Our problem isn't the manager OR the players, it's the culture at the club and both the management and the players. Someone, I guess the DoF if that is the model we are going with, needs to have an actual long-term plan and stick to it rather than panicking every time it hits a bump.
That game against Sheffield United was as bad a match as I've seen. Yes, we've got the points, and for many that is the sum of their desires, but good god that was poison for the eyes. Other than the derby, I don't think I've enjoyed an Everton match all season. It's a lot of money for misery. Supporting your team is supposed to be fun.
It is, but the last five years have been really rough. I don't mind that we're not winning the league, obviously I'd prefer it if we had a chance of winning something but it's not the be all and end all, but I would like to enjoy going to the game/watching the match on telly at least now and again. Is that really too much to ask?!
Yeah, think we got found out once teams worked out we didn’t have much threat
Bit silly really that. Messi couldve played in wimbledons "crazy gang" and looked world class and i severely doubt many balls would be played over his head in any side never mind ours. We dont have a Messi or anyone who could lace his boots so bit of a daft statement that mate.
I'm sure that you are deliberately missing my point so that you can make condescending and pithy remarks. Clearly my point is that if you never get the ball to feet it's difficult to show any quality as a midfielder. You already know this, however, but would rather just say "it's the players". Fair enough, that's up to you.
Garner's a good player. He didn't get found out, we just don't utilise him. It is what it is. It'll be more of the same next season and we'll constantly be told it's just the players, they're not good enough, like we've been told for the past 10 years despite not having any of the same players that we had 10 years ago (except for Coleman, who'll be here forever).
The Dychettes keep blaming the players.
Yep, look at any players thread with the possible exception of Branthwaite. Every single one is full of people saying that player X, Y or Z is rubbish and getting anything out of them is some sort of miraculous achievement. The Onana thread is my favourite, links to Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Arsenal but he's lazy, can't pass, and is generally useless.
Not saying garner got found out. Think the team got found out. Not enough pace in attack so teams stopped worrying about the counter attack.
Now let's not go saying anything we can't take back.
