Saying Everton "are not the best" football team is surely the understatement of the century in fairness to the lad

Yeah but if I called someone “not the best”, I’d mean they were actually proper bad - he probably means we’re not RM/Bayern good

 

[FTY]

Obvs we’re actually far far worse than the “not the best” that he means, but defo don’t think that’s what he’s tryna say

I think most of us would use much stronger descriptions than "not the best" to describe our current team lol

I try not to read much into comments made in the press or on social media, but if anyone is upset by this then they need to seriously chill out.

People will kick off about this but I’m 99% sure in Spanish “not the best” will be far more literal than we’d use it

Not the best = not the biggest. He’s said it before and he isn’t wrong

It is refreshing to see honesty like that as opposed to all the badge kissing platitudes prior to a player jibbing us off, or a manager for that matter (later Carlo).

I've zero issue with that comment...would be kopite behaviour from anyone who does...

Pretty sure he meant not the best

 

[navidson]

Really hope he stays - My god we need a bit of inspiration this season

I've just had a cheap bar of chocolate from Aldi, it wasn't the best.

 

[Connor]

Pretty sure he meant not the best

He's said before we're not the biggest club, which is fair when you've played for who he has, so I'm taking its that again

Definitely - "not the best" is British understatement - not how he is using it.

Clear as day that the feller isn't fussed about staying or going. If a club come in and want him and all he's asking, we'll let him go. If they don't, he's sound with that and will play. He's not making a big shake up to leave and we don't really want him to either

Got no problem with this. The longer it goes on, the more chance he stays which is good.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

To be honest I wouldn't have been arsed if he had come out and said we were cack because it would have been the truth.

He's just being 100% correct isn't he? Nothing to get annoyed about.

Indeed, we should ban anyone singing "we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen" from Goodison for borderline criminal levels of fake news.
