More than you reckon for, imo.

Tell you what dave when we are in the top 4 with a points in favour of 6 then okay go for pretty.

I think that the players realised that there was now a strong manager in charge and they knew that they would have to perform or be frozen out and shipped off by SA.

Players want to be on the field, not on the bench and certainly not in the stand. Everton is a big Premiership club and carries a level of prestige with it.
For whatever reason I have no doubt that players were throwing furtive glances up at Sam and hoping to impress. That would be commonsense.

I have absolutely no doubt they raised their game for him... the bounce given by a new manager is hardly a new phenomenon.

We're not a big premiership club, and don't carry a level of prestige to be honest mate.

You sadly wont convince many of that, most people think we are much more than we are.

22 years and counting, a whole generation of football fans dont even know what we were.

That suggests that good football cant get you there. It is, in fact, the only thing that will get you there.

Even being 'best of the rest' isn't a given anymore Goat.

Which would only matter if we were a World Class footballer.

WRONG

FAKE NEWS.

Leicester won the title the other year without playing good football, the long punt upfront to the pacey fella, a Title won solely on team work and high work ethic.

So thats at least 2 ways to skin a cat.

Terrible football won Chelsea a Champions League trophy.

We own that title, nobody else even comes close, when it was the top 4 we finished 5th, when it became top 6, we finished 7th, we are forever the page boy, never the bride.

Terrible football? We should be so lucky to have it played by Everton.

Viva Gran Sam. Hasta la victoria siempre.

Mate they were awful. I know we are bad, but winning every game 1-0 Will win us trophies.

I'd rather us win stuff than play like Barca.

Which Chelsea title winners are you referring to?

Well said Sam

Just read about that. Kudos to him for speaking up. Here in the USA, if a football player (or coach) said that, our idiot president would probably label him a traitor.
