Most blues said Koeman was the right man, some even said that Unsworth was.

Why didn't he go two up front. Bolasie was god Awful, what was the point of again, binning Vlasic- the only player capable of holding onto a football.
Theo worked harder than I thought he would.
Our midfield and defence were disgusting in their attempts at passing and ball retention. We are truly horrible to watch. I'm renewing but seriously considering not to- the football has been crap for years now, and I've never seen us win away as of yet.

I genuinely do think the players (or most of them, at least) are trying mate. I just think it's a case of can't rather than won't. I just don't think they're good enough.

I could be completely wrong like. It wouldn't be the first time!

Confidence is a lot of the bad but the fans are loosing faith again and that does to a aspect make it worse for the players but the players don't seem to realise that tbh mate

Just to be clear.....I’d like BFFS to leave our club

Mikey_Fitzgerald · January 20, 2018

I sincerely doubt he'll still be here next season

He just needs to keep us up

I'm not arsed how he does it

Really poor today, players don’t know what they should be doing, no pattern of play. A full week before the Spurs game, another full week before today’s game.

Now 12 games in and our football has gone backwards under him. Currently at 1.3ppg, worse than Unsworth who had 1.4ppg.

Thing is we say the players aren't good enough and many aren't. But they are certainly much better than they are showing right now. Four reasons why they aren't performing, the manager, the negative defeated before you kick off tactics, they aren't trying hard enough and low confidence. It's a mixture of all of these as well as not being good enough in certain cases. I'll throw the fact that we have a glaring lack of a left side and it's a recipe for the shambles we have. I see other managers getting more out of lesser players and the blame lies with the manager and players equally.

I’d have Eddie Howe in the summer. At least his teams play football. Think he’d do well.

I agree mate - but my only question I ask myself is who do I want instead? I really don’t know, it’s hardly like there was a queue of stellar names offering to take the reigns when Moonhead went - Fat Sam could hardly believe his luck that having been binned off at first pass, he declared himself a Non-Runner, then we went back offering him the Big Boys Seat - couldn’t believe his luck could he?

So we got him...stupid cliches, embarrassing rhetoric, never done anything ever to suggest he’s worthy of the position he now occupies. And all we do is feel embarrassed that it’s come to this - if you’d have said to me in July BFS would be our manager, we’d be out of every competition in January I’d have laughed at you for believing the first! Unfortunately the others have become too regular an occurrence. We are shocking at the moment, horrible to watch & hard to see the progress we were promised. All BFSs fault, probably not but he don’t help lift my mood.

Scrape to forty points and sack him get in a manager with at least a tactic and a positive set up/style of play.

He loves throwing the players under the bus after every match doesn't he, that's how to keep the players motivated to play for you.

I said unsworth wasn’t also, but to be fair I was happy with koeman although he wasn’t my first choice. However we are seeing that regardless of who manages us, until we get rid of the deadwood, invest in top younger players and add quality it doesn’t matter who comes in. The players are simply not good enough and years of failing to replace them (giving me contracts in some cases) is costing us

I was an advocate of giving him a chance. The start was good, it looked ok, it was bad to watch but we were winning at least
But this is worse than unsworth and Koeman.
2 shots on target at Goodison in 2018 so far.
1 goal. 5 defeats in a row
The football is just dire

He has to go in the summer.
