The performance and results are a bit worrying, I must admit. On the other hand, it is a bit as expected. It takes time before the effects of changes become visible. It is not a linear process, although we like to think it is.

What is happening now is that the system is experiencing imbalance. Benitez has implemented a number of changes and requirements for players, support staff, organization, etc. It is only natural that he will experience resistance, and many are not willing to change. This happens in any culture, organization, where someone comes from the outside and threatens the identity and conditions of those who reside in this system.

So I think there will be far more noise in the coming weeks, maybe months, and that's a good thing. Then those who are happy with the status quo will be smoked out. Often these are people who are least expected to hold these attitudes, but they are also the ones who benefit the most from the situation as it is now.

Fans must avoid falling into the trap and become these people's good helpers. In that case, we will just repeat this circle - over and over again.

"A bit worrying" one win in ten ONE. It's terminal

I am not happy, the team is playing very badly and needs to improve. The manager has to take responsibility for his mistakes too. I just do not think that we can lay the blame at his door entirely when these players have thrown in the towel for other managers. I quite like that he is falling out with some of them.

I would have no problem if he were falling out with the likes of Iwobi, Tosun, Delph, Gomes but he’s not. He’s falling out and alienating the few decent players we have for the sake of his own fragile ego. The definition of putting himself before the team.

Sorry mate, but that doesn't make any sense, the circle as you put it, I would call it a noose by the way - but semantics aside the reality is that Everton is not in ANYWAY learning from the last several years.

As for the system, what system - Rafael has not got a clue so the players don't have a clue - as for players or staff reluctant to change....reside in the system....have a word....what system??? we had so many managers, DOF's and crap players that nothing makes sense.

Everton FC is the benchmark for how not to do it when you suddenly get a huge influx of cash....

We have to decide what we want and stick to it

I completely agree. Brands' ideas were exciting, but for some reason it did not happen. Instead, the owners have constantly tried ad hoc solutions, which is the reason for the situation we are in. This is what Benitez is trying to clean up, which of course will be unpopular with some (or many). But therefore we must do as you say; stick to it.

He frozen out our only LB, he now taken off Rich and will drop him for Chelsea most likely.
I see him trying to flog both in Jan and as he in full control of transfer it’s scary

He is a snake, he has looked at how he can buy what he wants at the expense of one of the best LB in the PL- watch he spend £100 - £150 million on players that ensure that just as we are about to get rid of all the chancers and rebalance the wage bill BOOM
