Let’s be honest, there’s a very good chance we lose to Hull at the weekend, then Leicester thereafter. That’d be us out of the cups, with 1 win in 14. He shouldn’t even be here now Farhad, how far will your stubbornness go?

I think we will beat Hull so he’s here until at least the Leicester game.
Lose that and surely even a dickslpat like Moshiri won’t risk it any further.

Personally think we need to get someone in who will rally the fans and the players and give us a bit of a boost for the rest of the season. Nothing personal against Benitez but it’s definitely not working.

Right now, I'd be happy with someone who plays square pegs in square holes. That in itself would be the first step to getting the fans and players on side.

17 days to come up with a plan, a system, tactically be prepared.

Nahhhh that's not included in his job remit for 8m a season.

He has a tactical plan alright but it doesnt work. The first play where dcl goes out wide and the tip off is kicked up to him. Then stand off and let the other team gain possession until they go one or 2 goals up and then go and try to claw back a draw against very average midtable teams. Same as last number everton managers. Carlo, silva, sam, koeman, martinez (apart from his first season)

Sit back, go a goal down and then try to get some kind of result by pushing forward after 70 mins. Groundhog day.
 
Trying to get a balanced view on it but can't get past the appalling form and baffling tactics.

We had 5 defenders across the back in a line yesterday and conceded 3 goals.

He keeps on surrendering midfield which seemingly is just there to relay passes to the wings - not to retain the ball at all.

The wing-backs barely get forward and the centre-backs don't seem co-ordinated.

Nobody seems to be able to man-mark - I assume this is 'zonal'.

The players look lost and badly coached - if coached at all.

The only credit I can give him is that we do have more width and sometimes that works with Gordon and Gray - and Townsend when he was on better form.

The only balanced way I can look at it is that, yes, the players aren't world-beaters, but a good coach should be able to do better.
 
Can't comment much on the game yesterday as I wasn't there. Saw the line up and thought oh god here we go.. I just don't get it with this guy, his on stubbornness has cost us dearly.

Again though we found ourselves in the situation whereby who will come in if we boot him out the door. Sick of it, all our hard earned money is being p'd away.

Hope Mina is back soon then we can have even more defenders on the pitch.

Don't worry, our expert defensively minded coach will fix everything and reduce the average number of goals conceded per game from 1.7

Don't worry either, it's not like the average number of goals conceded over the last ten games is 2.3, meaning we need to score a minimum of three to win.

For clarity, our average goals scored per game is 1.2 for the season and 0.5 over the last ten games.
 
How on earth is this guy still here ? What does he have on Moshiri that makes the owner so reluctant to act and fire this joke of a manager. How many more insipid, pathetic performance must we suffer watching before the axe falls.
I thought the BBC were strange picking our game for the cup but we are primed for a cup defeat

Some of us just prioritise the general wellbeing of Everton Football Club over clubs failing Dave, even that lot. Why on earth would we all be giddy over them "failing" in the title race when we're seriously looking at a relegation dogfight under the stewardship of an unlikeable bellend that also happens to be club a RS legend.........
 
Agent Rafael's shouts are gathering pace and he's only got himself to blame. Disgusting formation, Five at the back, with unbelievably an out of form Coleman at left back, against Brighton ...at home ! Overran in midfield, not surprisingly by their three, Potter's tactics left the Benitez tactics for dead. One thing I did agree with was Benitez supposedly going through every section of our club and replacing the deadwood, but he seriously has to start looking at his own performance.
 
Yesterday's line was horrible from Rafael but I will say the players have no football brain what so ever when the ball was on the Brighton left Colman is supposed to come in to make an extra midfield player same on the jjk side they both stayed in there positions to make a flat back 5 that's why dacoure and Allan were so over ran embarrassing from everyone yesterday
