The thing is mate, the players I mentioned aren't rubbish, just utilised poorly by the management this season. For example gueye is fantastic at running around and breaking play up. Same as kante does, that's his job. So asking gueye to do more than that is basically a waste of time, like asking a striker to come back and defend constantly.

Davies is a forward playing midfielder with energy and has been asked to sit back in his own half with hardly any movement ahead of him when he does get the ball. Plus he is only in his first full season this year, personally not expecting him to control a midfield especially when his manager is playing for a 0-0 at half time every week.

Tosun has proven he can score goals. Might not be world class but has had very little service and again no movement for him. Bellamy told a story recently where at Newcastle, shearer was knackered without pace so robson signed players to do the movement around him to allow him to be a striker, to stay around the box. Shearer bagged over 30 goals that season as a result. When have we ever played to tosun strengths under allardyce?

Pickford is a 24 year old keeper. Again the lad could be our number 1 for the next 15 years and you judge him after 1?

So please go on ;)

No point replying to Toxic Tirion mate. You'll just get the same garbage response.
 

He’s a proper div. Despise people like him representing Evertonians. Honestly don’t know where they get their views from. From a big family of massive blues and not one of us are being thankful for this season.
I've always thought he was thick tbh, but routed for him due to him being a passionate blue. But still thick AF.
 
From Football365:

13) If this is to be the end of Allardyce at Everton, what could be a more fitting end to his tenure than miserable defeat at his former club and an away end close to mutiny at the abject fare on show? It might be the only time this season that West Ham supporters were not the most disillusioned in the stadium.

Allardyce will presumably purchase another small violin and a chip for his shoulder with the payoff money he gets from Farhad Moshiri. If Everton appoint a foreign manager, we may well see him on beIN Sports in Qatar, moaning about British jobs for British managers. But the truth is that Big Sam was afforded an opportunity at club level that few expected to come his way. Everton was his chance to prove the doubters wrong, and put a few metaphorical noses out of joint as only he can.

Instead, Allardyce has reinforced every stereotype. He is a brilliant manager for a small club looking for survival. There is no shame in that, but neither is there any point being a wolf in a sheepskin manager’s coat. He has managed Everton as if they were a plucky side lucky to have him. The reality is that the vice versa was closer to the truth.

He’s nothing but a Kenwright lapdog. He portrays the image of the ‘plucky little Everton’ which is what Kenwright wants.

Thankful for 8th, the actual state of that comment.

Would love Southall to be given a proper platform to talk about the current state of the club.

Davies and Gueye run around a lot- neither is capable it seems of passing the ball to a team mate
Tosun is [Poor language removed]
Pickford is ok- nothing more
 
EFC have really ballsed this up, should have announced before season was finished, lack of leadership means probably no one knows who’s job it is to sack the smug git!
 
The ceiling for Big Sam is 8th place and horrendous football.

He's a survival first manager who plays survival first football and no matter how much money you give him he'll continue to play that way.

No progressive club with ambition would ever have him as anything more than a desperation option to keep them up if their planned manager is a disaster after 6 months and they're in deep trouble.
