What are you blabbering on about??

Martinez and Koeman have won trophies.....Sam has not.

That is just simple facts.

I think we do have a few more, but we've played half of the team out of position. We havent played the wingers like Lookman, we've played DCL alone up top when hes better with a partner, we've played Rooney on the wing, and Siggurdson on the wing, and Gueye further forward than he should be.

Sometimes good managing isnt so much about getting in new players, but simply recognizing a players strengths/weaknesses, and their best position.

I don't think we have. Lookman is a direct player not a footballer who'd keep things along the deck and it moving.

Koeman spent £70mill on two players you'd think we're in Klassen and Siggurdson, and they're not.

If you had a team with Barkley, Dowell, Rooney, Davies, you'd probably see a footballing side.

That's what Big Sam sees as a weakness, hence more direct play.

I do as well, I hope we go after Fonseca in the summer and start playing proper football, I don’t think I could watch what I witnessed on Sunday week in week out.

I enjoyed it significantly more than the 4-0 capitulation when Mori was sent off I found that truly painful and I didn’t enjoy last years 3-1 too much either .

Away from derbies the surrender , against Sam , at Sunderland, it might have only been 3-0 but could have been 6 . Koeman’s last game and the players simply cheating at Southampton a few weeks ago there are plenty of games I’ve enjoyed a lot less than that performance on Sunday .

I said it before Sam was appointed I just want Everton to win games , or at least collect points . I’d love Everton to play fantastic football but winning is ten times more important to me than that . Big Joe and the dogs of war got plenty of stick but I enjoyed it , I enjoyed not losing derbies and I enjoyed winning a trophy .

Sam has just arrived here and the club are unbeaten and we’ve seen an upturn in results and performances. I’m sure There will be plenty of time to put the boot into the manager , at the minute I’ll enjoy not panicking about the threat of relegation or not having to listen to RS tell me they’re going to run a cricket score against us .

Nail on head! I for one, care more about results than the style of play. I bet Arsenal fans would go back to the George Graham days if it meant winning the title.

Wenger has won the title more times than graham! Think people need to drop this myth that arsenal abd wenger don't win anything... they have won 3 out of the last 4 days cups
 
The football is not pretty to watch at the moment but i know do not think that we are going down.

Mourinho plays the same type of football but is lorded as some sort of genius.

I suppose allardyce will never be fashionable but we have to be realistic with our current set up.
