3 years of Marcel and we had 2 GKs and a load of kids on the bench for a Cup 1/4 Final, and people want us to give this fraud a new deal.

We said this in defence of Silva tbf.
Think his goose is cooked if we miss out on europe.
We need to know if he's going to be here or not before the end of the season, though.
For continuity, we really need to just stick with it, because we have some good evidence of signings he's brought in (or have been brought in during his time here) that have worked.
But when people say about our squad and the injuries etc, it's fine, but after all the money spent, it shouldn't be the case.
We, as in the fans, don't need to know anything haha.
I didn't mean the fans.
Who's we then?

Forgot it was Marcel Brands who went round finch farm snapping Pickford, Olsen, Doucoure, Gbamin and James. How silly of me.
This is my issue with Brands.
Regardless of the work he has done around the club, the squad is ultimately his remit.
Now, we've had two massive cup games this season - today, and v Man Utd
Both games, we've lost because the other team had quality to bring on from the bench and, because of a few injuries, we haven't had that quality.
Now, those injuries are obviously not on recruitment. What absolutely is on recruitment is ensuring that injuries do not derail your chance. Liverpool whinge about injuries, but it's ultimately a failing of their recruitment team that they didn't bring in a better CB last summer rather than go with three - one of them being the injury prone Matip.
Bringing it back to Brands, it's his remit to ensure our squad can compete. We've made it to 2 QFs, and being let down or not being able to truly compete because our squad isn't good enough. Ultimately, that's on him.

ffs, you're telling me you don't refer to the club, or Everton, as 'we', ever?
We - 'the club' - can't be leaving a decision on Brands until after we've qualified for Europe or not, can we?
Doesn't matter.
He's responsible for the squad.
Injuries happen. We shouldn't be going into 2 massive cup games this season all but raising the white flag because our squad - three years into his tenure with £200million spent - isn't good enough.
I'm sure "we" the club know if he's going to be here or not. Since, you know, it's their decision.
Do you think he has done a good job?

I'm on the fence about Marcel at the moment.
He's made some great signings (Godfrey, Digne, Richy) but he's made some horror signings (Iwobi, Delph, Kean).
This summer is going to be huge, we are either going to add 4/5 top players and become genuine top 6, or buy more flops and stagnate into a mid table team.
Only time will tell..

I didn't say it wasn't?
I replied to a post which said Brands might be getting binned if we (the club/team) don't get Europe.
I don't agree with that, because we (the club) surely wouldn't be waiting so long when the work needs to be getting done now ahead of the summer to build the squad.
You butted in trying to be a smart arse.

Julien needs to be working hard in the summer to avoid a bench like tonight
