He has to now mate, we'll be on a hiding to nothing Wednesday ( damned if we do damned if we don't put in a performance due to the rs ) but going to Watford he/players have to show something that says "yeah, that's more like it and that's a sign of progress" because we've been nothing short of disgraceful for nigh on 3 months

Yeah the city game is a non event for me. If we dont turn up we will get pumped. As you say, the Watford game is HUGE now. If he cant get them fired up for that, hes in trouble.

Lets see if we have similar views on Everton.

Everton are :

1. A nothing club, a stain on football with a toxic fanbase
2. The greatest team in the world, being kept from its rightful place in the league by Oil rich clubs and a corrupt FA
3. A fallen Giant, miles away from where it needs to be, but could get there if the fans showed slightly more patience

Pick wisely.

A bit of 2 and a bit of 3.

And he will get some pure abuse at Watford and so for his sake I hope the players are behind him and stuff those knobheads 5-0.

He's struggling though mate, I think it's inevitable that he'll be sacked and if that happens we need a top top manager to come in and shake this club from top to bottom and get is going again and wake us up and instil some pride/desire/effort into the cause.

It will be a nasty atmosphere for him down there. May help as it gives him and the players something to feed off!

If he does get sacked this season, we need an old school, no messing, direct playing manager to shove a few rockets in the correct places and, as you say, bring back pride and make the fans proud again. Cos its hard work at the moment for me!

I agree with the bottom paragraph but that starting 11 is capable of playing a 100 times better; it’s been witnessed at the start of the season.

It also needs better defensive coaching, unfortunately this comes from the manager. Adding better players will not solve the issue when the manager is incapable of managing.

He’s an extremely poor coach, the play, tactics and setup answer this

Baines & Coleman over 30 & declining...
Gomes on loan...
Tosun not good enough...
Zouma on loan...
Walcott over 30 & declining...

Reality check as far as I am concerned we need younger,better players...

Exactly mate.

I get the mistakes he is making, totally agree 100% and he will no doubt get printed at some point. But he's calling them out about effort/concentration/application these things have to come from the player themselves, the manager can't kick the ball for them

The manager cannot kick a ball for them, but he absolutely has to motivate them. If players were all self motivated you wouldn't need a Manager!

By saying that players are obliged to be motivated shows me that this fraud has no business being manager of our great club. He is shirking a massive part of his job and really has no idea about the art of management and leadership.

We are talking about human beings, not robots. Granted they earn obscene money and we would all love them to have Everton tattoos and kiss the badge all of the time, but the reality of life and the modern footballer is that they are in it for the money, the glory and ultimately themselves but they are also emotional souls (bless them).

And here's the crux of all of this. Footballers (despite earning 6 figures a month) still get happy, sad, tired, stressed (hard to believe I know) nervous, grumpy, angry, upset (and any other of the dwarves I have missed out). And guess what? Whilst they are able to feel emotions they are able to become demotivated (for whatever reason may be) and so need someone to help them and motivate them.

That is called a Manager (or more appropriately a leader) in my book. Us fans can help a little bit on a Saturday, but this is one of the key responsibilities of the modern manager.

Players are not obliged to be Motivated Marco (see Man Utd) and if you can't do this, then pack your bags and take the next Easy Jet to Lisbon.

You utter, utter fraud...

Don’t get the point homey

We played good at the start of the season, now we don’t and the manager hasn’t rectified it

Would put a bit of 2 in because if it wasn't for oil rich clubs like City who hike up transfer fees, we also could compete in the prem lge.

We have spent 300m in 3 seasons mate, a lack of money isnt our problem, now granted 300m is a splash in the ocean to what City have spent, I mean their wage bill isnt far off that a year. Spending money wisely is the reason we are where we are, I mean City did give us 50m for John Stones like and 24m for Lescott, when 24m was a LOT of money.
