We have a squad of players who should be pushing for Europe and in the knock out stages this season. We aren't recouping what we are spending and seeing any success. We can keep playing this game of catch up for years and end up in a bad way.

On paper we look great, practically we are diabolical and a team that has no chemistry amongst them.

The worst thing we can do is throw money around. We only need a LB now, just leave it at that.

I think Moshiri is insane and thinks splashing money on average players is going to be a quick scheme to get us into Europe again. When it doesn't happen he sacks the manager.

He has no business plan or strategy for this so called project. It's a a car crash.

He had a plan
He sacked an underperforming manager
He signed a DOF who if we led to correctly believe signed the players that brought Leicester the PL title
He signed the best manager outside the top 6
A manager with an enviable reputation in world football
When that manager failed he sacked him and brought in a manager whose main job is to stabilise the team in the short term.
On paper he has done what needed to be done.
He allowed us to spend millions on young players for the future.
The only problem is the players signed did not gel or hit the ground running.
Apart from Martina who was supposed to be 3rd choice TB can you argue against any player we have signed.
Williams was good in his first season but seems to have lost it now.
The problem is the players we haven’t signed and that’s hardly Moshiri’s fault.

My main concern is that we play nothing like Arsenal so he could end up being another Bolasie who runs dead fast but doesn't do much else for us.

We're really struggling to build play and be creative in possession. Rooney is the only one we have who can pick a decent ball forward.

J, as much as I am underwhelmed by this signing I can safely say he will be much better than Bolasie.

Definitely need a left-back mate but Sam's organisation doesn't require personnel as such - just a structure that everyone can buy into and is good enough to fulfil their roles.

We've been caught out recently by silly individual errors creeping back in, namely as a result of rotation that to a point was forced upon us, but also rotation that Sam didn't need to do (Williams and Holgate need to be the starting CB's, for example).

Agree with this Williams was playing while we kept all but 3 goals out in 6 games

I have been supporting Everton since the 1970s. I don't think this is even in the top 100 bad decisions in that time.

A forward in the prime years of his career with loads of pace and a good goal scoring record and that is the worst decision you have seen in 40 years. I find that hard to believe.

Hey Blue Blue. Sorry-just to clarify (my fault for not being clear) I don't think Walcott is one of our worse decisions but we have made lots of bad ones over time. I am relatively new to posting and was reading through all the posts when I put that post up. Still getting used to putting the right quotes in the right place etc. it was a feeling over a few posts and I wasn't clear.
 
20 million quid for a washed-up, failed version of what Lookman could some day become... but won't because we'll be playing Walcott's disinterested remains ahead of him.

Nothing left to play for this year - the perfect chance to invest in building a coherent tactical system, and giving the best youth side in England critical top flight experience.

Instead, we're squandering ridiculous sums on overpriced has-beens so our overpriced has-been manager can tread water.

I miss the days when we were poor but smart.

Walcott on the right allows Bolasie to go to his natural left side role, get Gylfi in the middle behind Cenk, jobs a goodun

Was about to "like" this then realised it would mean Bolasie having to get back all the time to bale out the liability currently playing left back, a job which currently occupies about 90% of Gylfi's time and energy! Unless of course you know of incoming in the LB position?
Agree 100% though that Gylfi needs to be central in the top half of the pitch behind Tosun!
