If we can sign a striker who can score even something like 10 goals, then we can tighten up defensively and probably get to 40 points before seasons end provided other players elsewhere in the squad chip in
We won 8 games last season and drew 12 for a total of 36
If we could have turned just two of those draws into wins we would have been comfortable on 40 points in 15th place with a couple of games to spare
If Che Adams or Michail Antonio is the difference in turning some of those draws into wins then beggars can't be choosers
No, it's not where we want to be and I'm sure the "Show us some ambition" crowd will be aghast at such an attitude, but it is what it is
We're a crap team playing crap football who need to conjure up enough points to keep surviving until we can finally get the financial side of things sorted out
It's going to be a long, brutal, unpleasant slog for the next couple of seasons at least (if not longer). I think the sooner we accept that as a fan base and get into a seige mentality then the better things will be. Turn Goodison into a bear pit, yell "sack the board" at every opportunity, cross our fingers and hope that Dyche can scrape the required points to keep us in the league
That's what being an Evertonian is going to be for the foreseeable future, and being linked with the Adams' and Antonio's during the transfer window is going to be part and parcel of that until we either finally get through these tough times or ultimately succumb and get relegated, leading to even more hardship and misery
We know why we're here, we know who to blame, but it's happened and can't be undone at the moment, so now we need the manager to get the best out of what we have, and we can play an important role in that as supporters by getting behind the team and being the 12th man
