Who are we talking about?

I think the problem with the results is more so that people have wised up to where we are and had to revise expectations. Our squad on paper isn't a patch on any of the top 6. The positive to take from this season is that the new players are competitive in those comparisons so in a way that shows we are signing the right type of player. These results should act as a huge kick up the arse for the players, how they respond in the next few weeks will tell the management a lot about whether they will be here long term.

Pulisic.
Just signed for Chelsea for 56m, loaned back to Dortmund for remainder of the season.

Yet yesterday we played the mighty Leicester City and our only shot on target (Tosun) was in the final minutes and the goalkeeper very comfortably palmed it out of danger.
Yes Sam's football was pretty bad, but the squad contained zero players he had brought in when he took the job and to be quite honest it wasn't that much worse than the current drivel we're being served up from a manager who was given many many more millions to change the squad and style of play.

Don't get the hype with Pulisic.
Think Dortmund have done great business.
He helps them win the league and go further in the champions league whilst they trouser close to 60 big ones and they got a superior player(Sancho) for peanuts.
Need Mislinstat to start doing that for us and Brands ditto for your lot
Bit like Keita then? These German clubs know how to get a good deal don’t they? Imagine him snapping his leg in the last few games of the season, very risky imo

I can’t let the Allardyce comment without expressing my own view .
I have been watching us since the 60s and during his tenure we played the most sustained ,soporific, simplistic, uninventive , unentertaining style of football I have ever seen an Everton side produce, ever.
During the Newcastle game I almost failed to get off my backside to celebrate Walcotts goal because I didn’t believe or expect us to score.
After the Burnley game I didn’t bother with further aways despite having the opportunity, something previously unheard of.
I even entertained the thought of surrendering my ST. I wouldn’t have of course ,but the thought was there and it wasn’t during the previous 40 odd years of ups and downs.
On top of this the man was an objectionable, tedious , unpleasant oaf.
His presence here was my personal nadir as an Everton supporter.
So, yes, personally speaking it was that bad.

don't get me wrong, I'm not getting the fact silva is getting so many excuses
if these last dozen games had come under fat sam there would be MURDER in here, he's even got far better players at his disposal
football has been horrific recently, slow boring and littered with mistakes

To be fair Walter Smith's team wasn't much better but I agree, Allardyce is the worst manager we've ever had in terms of entertainment value.
It's certainly been a roller-coaster and arguably you can fairly question how much we've improved on the pitch since Moyes left; we've already had false dawns.
Martinez showed us promise in terms of attacking football but then it all went awash because defensively we were poor and players seemed organised.
They soon became disenchanted. In hindsight, Koeman's football was never beautiful and soon dwindled when once again people became disenchanted.
Sam is beyond description and that the verdict is still out on Silva. A lot of teams can probably say the same out of the top sixth, so perhaps that's where we lay.
Harder for clubs like us tho, Dortmund, Monaco and Ajax etc can get these players in young and play them in an inferior league , which means they’re less likely to flop, while also giving them CL games. They can play these players and still qualify for the cl and then sell on for massive profits and sign another 10-20 players of which a higher % are likely to be good enough for their league as it’s not as good and sell most for nominal fees and if they get 1-2 like Sancho, Pulisic , martial, sanchez, lozano etc they make very good Maloney and still compete for their leagues. For us to even get EL we have to perform most weeks and against tougher opposition meaning the model is less likely to work. It might make us more profitable but we would get the reputation of a selling club and young players would expect their big move whenever they have a good season and city etc come in for them. The only way it would for as far as winning cups or becoming CL regulars, is if we scouted 5-6 players that all progressed at the same time and to CL level.
