Unfortunately there's no quick fix. think after the next two transfer windows we will have a better idea .conte at Chelsea will have the same problem with the squad he has

Moyes got our highest league placing in 28 years.

...and our joint lowest premier league placing...and worst points total.

If we think we're bad at the moment we need to think twice, we could have had Bilic!

The dullard Moyes:...he is our joint record holder at worst PL finishing position AND he ran up our worst points total since 1981.

I know. I volunteered it for the sake of balance.

I think we both know where you can stick your balance.

Yup.

Moyes despite being an arse re the comments made was in many ways an saviour of sorts. The job he did in those early years was arguably pivotal in our history.

Haven't been reading the last few pages, so I'll ask my questions shall I?

Davies? Holgate? Galloway?

Big Ron isn't going to promote youth is he? I can understand Jose at Man Utd not playing them ahead of the expensive stars, but when our young players are better footballers than those getting a game ahead of them?

18 year old Tom Davies is currently helping his team winning the U23 league title, thats clearly more important to his devolpment than playing 20minutes here and there for the first team, unless you think he should be picked ahead of Barry, Gana or Barkley, something I would question.

Holgate is a first team player at 19 and Galloway has been loaned out to get games, not sure which players you think should be dropped in order for these younger players to get games.

Koeman was very clear with his transfer dealings, he wanted only players in their prime, its likely he will to a degree ignore the youth players for the majority of his time at the club, accept and move on, if the players are good enough they will get games, but over the next 2-3 transfer windows the squad will change a LOT.

I disagree with dropping an impressive Holgate for Coleman when he did.
I disagree for seeing Oviedo at left back in an Everton shirt when we have loaned out a better one.
I disagree seeing Cleverley in an Everton shirt when Davies is a better footballer.

Hope that helps?

What happens in the next few transfer windows is for the future. Right now, the youth I mentioned are better than those getting a game in our first 11.
