Has until after January for me, but it’s not looking good.

Plays for a point regardless of the opposition, drops players who are in form, has made us the worst team in the league to watch. He’s not winning any fans over with that.
 

In his defence the players are clearly not up to standard. There's just nothing about them when we're going forward.

At the moment we're being badly stifled by both of our full backs being so poor on the ball. They offer no outlet/overlap, this especially shows seeing as it's been such a huge part of our game for years.

The midfield is dominated by any team who dares to get at us and consequently we've got no control of the game. Grim times.
 
I think some of us here are completely delusional. Just look at that squad. Look at it hard and long. I savour every point this team wins because it's just utter shambles, that team sheet. In my opinion, we have some very tough couple of years in front of us. I don't see Everton getting together a squad that is actually able to play football anytime soon. We had that in Roberto's first season, remember how bright we thought the future looked. But where we always get it wrong is buying players who have a strong character, who want to fight, who want to play for a good side and who don't shy away from going through some rough patches on the way. Say what you will about the Burnleys and West Broms and Watfords in this league but what I see every time we play against those teams is players who might not be the finest footballers but who fight for their privilege of earning tons of money doing what they grew up loving. Haven't seen that at Everton in years and I must admit I'm amazed by the quality Sam has been able to get out of this tragedy of a squad.

I'm not particularly amazed. We haven't played very well but we've done the basics right and in this league that will pick you up a lot of points outside the top 6. I know the squad is awful but I'm just surprised people see Allardyce as the man who is capable of turning it around.
