After the Moyes magic beans ran out? Dear me. We played in a vastly different way which actually would have made it more difficult to keep cohesion from previous seasons, but we managed ok...more than ok. NOTHING to do whatsoever with what Moyes left...if it was then that group of defenders are largely still here and playing and we'd have no problems, would we?
Why do you think contracts at clubs are given mate? Do you think they sign them off with the proviso that every season has to be bettr or as good as the one he delivered first up? They are signed because there's an understanding that something being worked on requires time.
Where did some Evertonians get this Geordie managers revolving door attitude from? He;s been here less than three seasons, delivered a blistering first season points total, almost got us to Wembley earlier this season and has another chance to do so next month...but there's people calling for the contract to be torn up and his arse kicked down the road.
It's utterly mad and hilarious...and it's not happening, btw...and quite rightly so.
..and that addresses what I said about panickers 'thinking we would be relegated' does it?
Not remotely the same thing.
Ok, Lescott too. But the bulk of the squad was kept together and notably Pienaar, Mirallas, Jelavic and Heitinga were added to them.
Bit more widespread than that. But what puzzles me is that you seem intent in robbing your own team of any credit for playing well just because you want a manager gone.
