yes we dud...and your Freudian slip aptly described the original team selection and overall performance...a better team than Stoke would've battered us.
Hadjuk would not have been Splitting themselves at the prospect.
The respect you should give to Any Prem Team notwithstanding, do you see City and Chelsea quaking in their boots at the prospect of facing us if Koeman still wants to over thinking every game...before finally seeing the bleedin obvious.
He's got away with it so far due to the averageness of the opposition.
He may have the solution...but only if he sees that, at the moment, he's part of the problem...If he does have the solution to hand, he'd better whip it out quick.
You don't think so?

My question was plain and simple ... did we win ?
The answer is yes .
Despite your negative anti Koeman slant we ground out a win in a day when we weren't at our best .... why weren't we ? I will come to that ...
Now here's the thing about grinding out a win ... if it were a golfer who grinds out a win on a bad day we purr about the qualities of a champion who can grind it out even in a bad day .... you see one poor performance does not a season make .
If it was United of old grabbing a win in injury time on a game where they have struggled we all read the press eulogising about the stuff of champions and how champions still make a win from a poor day at the office .....
But not us ... not some of the doom merchants on GOT no a win against a tough to break down stubborn as ever Stoke City is not a reason to be happy ... it's another excuse to throw rocks at the club .
So why weren't we strolling round the park playing wonderful creative penetrating football ?
I don't know exactly ... but the realist in me says this team is new. Many of these players were getting their first view of the PL as players ... the realist also tells me that this team is not yet complete ... yes we do need another striker and we do need a Gylfi ... but I am not sure the blame lies with Koeman for these things ... and I believe they will be done by the end of the window
Yet
Despite all of this .. despite the new team bedding in and playing their first PL game for many of them ....
We won .
We won in tricky circumstances .
I for one celebrate that win .
I see a nascent team that has to bind in the PL
I see no reason to believe we won't ... once the window closes and things settle .
We found a way to win .
Thank you Everton
