It's not a direct quote though and wasn't ever attributed to anyone. As the definition explains: ....quotes to indicate irony or an author's disagreement with a premise.

I disagree with the premise - fostered by the words of those denigrating people who want the manager to remain and get his chance - that what they advocate is best for Everton and they are guardians of what that is.

You are interpreting meaning and choosing your own words to reflect something they aren't saying though.

You're overthinking this slightly.

My intention was clear enough.

My apologies . You're right . Touched a nerve , that's all.
My fault .

The issue though Dave, we are always going to have injuries arent we?

Not like this period. The last 2 months have been horrendous. I've never seen an injury list for a period like that at Everton. Unprecedented.

Most people will acknowledge that my positioning of them - based on what they've posted - is on the money.

Last season was worse mate.

But I take the broad point, theres an issue of scale.

If I was being cynical, I'd say we have bought too many injury prone players, so get what we deserve.

So he's not giving youth a chance either? What a turnip...

 

[Joey66]

This would be a very sensible clause to have. Which is why I fear there's a 90% chance Moshiri never thought of it ?

I heard it is written in - taps nose -

It's a season of two halfs: pre and post injuries. The first 6 weeks or so we saw a manager getting his system across and we got results. The second 6 weeks we've seen a disjointed and at times pathetic series of performances.

WE all know what's happened here: it doesn't take much for these players to use any excuse to knock off and not put it in. There's that, and there's the undeniable massive loss of key players for extended periods.

This manager has shown he can get results. He will so again.

It's not that simple though is it Dave? We saw,our fist choice 11 take points from some poor teams playing kick and rush football. It was never going to be sustainable, we got lucky for a while it had to end.

This season of 2 halves stuff is rubbish, we have a manager on a multi million pound contract telling us that we will see the real Everton in the second half of the season. He's being paid a fortune to deal with situations like this, he has the defence totally disorganised, we sit 5 yards off the oponents in midfield, he persists with his 2 man midfield and he persists in inflicting Rondon on us.

Do you really think he is a good pick as our manager?

This fella is laughing, joking, talking about the 2nd half of the season improving.

He's going nowhere anytime soon.

I'd be laughing and joking too if I was getting about £140,000 a week to work in my dream industry, on my doorstep, knowing worst case scenario is my boss calls me in and says "it's not working out, thanks for your efforts, we'll make arrangements to pay your multi-million severance, and I'm sure you'll get another contract of employment somewhere soon".

Yet, you somehow still sound surprised lol

Innit, you tell the dirty dirty dirty unclean Blue Geordies.

He's been making excuses since he got here, it's never Benitez's fault.

before or after it was signed?!? ?

We drop too low, he will be gone ....

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Be interesting to see if Moshiri attends the derby.

I think he was planning on attending, but unfortunately couldn't find anywhere to park his yacht due to some sort of building work going one down at the water front apparently?!?.....

Ah well, there's always next year I suppose.
