Shame the Cheese on Toast for Goodison didn't get funded so quickly.

@Sapie88

I had a good night though.

Somebody has thrown this up on Facebook. Spot on really...


Do people actually realise what irreversible damage has been done by this Martinez regime?
All this 'give him time' brigade have only allowed him to unravel the fabric of a once solid club. ( Fabric, see what I did there?) This utter [Poor language removed] even picked our current crest.
I have friends who are Swansea City fans and Wigan fans, guess what, they warned me about this bellend and told me I'd hate him after 12 months. I disputed that, I disliked him immediately. Particularly that cringeworthy press conference with Billy Liar as they both chuckled together after he disclosed he would get Everton into the Champions League.
Oh how our rivals laughed and oh how our success starved gullible fans lapped that up.
Then came the dismantling process.
The three people named below may not be known to many Evertonians, but they were most probably the best medical, physiotherapists ever assembled.
Steve Tajishian
Dave Billows
Danny Donchie
Martinez, a trained physiotherapist himself, disagreed with their collective methods and eventually forced them out of our club.
Whilst they were in post, our players averaged 4-5 hamstring injuries a year.
Under Martinez 47-50 hamstring injuries a year.
That was just the start of it.
Our coaches and scouts left too.
The training regimes changed as highlighted in Osmans book and they stopped practicing set pieces and corners.
All emphasis surrounded ball work. Passing continually. Something a coach would do with junior football teams.
Each player is given a strict dietary menu they have to follow to the letter. They were not permitted to have anything containing sugar whatsoever. They are treated like children.
The senior pro's began to revolt and were punished by fictional soft tissue injuries and dropped.
Meanwhile due to their [Poor language removed] training regimes they began to develop genuine 'soft tissue' injuries.
But it was the tactics where it all started to go wrong.
The Everton squad, who under Moyes generally pressed high up the pitch, were instructed to allow the opposition the ball and only make attempts to win it back in our half of the pitch.
The strikers were told not to tackle back and preserve their energies for attacking, accept they don't do that much either.
The emphasis is on scoring goals from open play and pure possession football. The idea being, to out pass the opposition and score through attractive pretty lines of play.
The drawback being, the only two players actually comfortable on the ball is our centre half and he's 22 and a winger/forward he never plays.
Players like Barkley are allowed to play square balls across the midfield without being instructed otherwise. Those who know the coaching manual, children as young as 7 are instructed not to do that, yet Martinez condones it.
His whole philosophy is a joke, it doesn't work and is easily counteracted.
The only teams that couldn't actually deal with our play this year were Chelsea and Villa. They were more disjointed than us.
So as a result of this horrendous football style, the fans have become less and less entertained. Disgruntled fans have turned on long standing players for individual errors and instead of giving them a break, he left them in the firing line until their relationship with the fans became my fractured. Tim Howard being a prime example.
So we are now left with a dysfunctional team, with no spirit, no heart, playing as individuals and those with ambitions or delusions of grandeur whoring themselves around Europe feathering their own nests.
Where now a laughing stock, with a 'great manager' who's own lunacy tries to put positive spins on the most shocking performances.
For example after 0-0 draw with CP he tells the footballing world, "we are in our stride!"..........

This is possibly the best post I have ever seen on GOT.

Where's that from fella ?

Speke John Lennon airport ?

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Considering all the ITKs posting all kinds of rumours all Sunday seems odd that no-one has posted anything that is quite simply factual about whether he was at an U21 game or not!

The funny thing is the Everton board have a proven and surprisingly excellent track record in keeping issues out of the public's attention. I Didn't see one mention of Moshiri on any media outlet or website and yet Kenwright had been in discussion with him for months. Transfers as well often only come to light at the last minute.
Therefore, the majority of people saying they have an insight into behind the scenes info are generally either lying or misinformed imo.
