The 12/13 season, lowest amount of losses but crippled by too many draws. That could have been another season were we finished top 4. Newcastle at home springs to mind were big Vic scored a late goal and then we conceded one straight away to draw.
Also with the 02/03 season we were top 3 for a while, I remember we just kept winning games 1-0 at one point and scoring last minute equalisers, but come Spring time I think we just fell off a cliff and crawled over the line. Steve Watson, Campbell and Radzinski bagging most of our goals. Only finished 1 point off 6th and 5 off the RS in 5th.
Got robbed out of that 6th spot on the last day against United, then had to watch them lift the title on our turf
Even Moyes said it needed breaking up. The average age of the team was pretty high.
It did, but it was also a mentally tougher, well drilled team built with one vision in mind. Thats the opposite of what Carlo i herited - a mishmash of players brought in by multiple different managers, no structure and no spine.
I agree. Moyes was a turd in so many ways, but he had players scouted out and their characters were sound.
It has honestly been a sickness in our squad ever since. They down tools whenever the going gets hard, so far Carlo has been the only manager to seemingly turn that trend. I though Silva mightve gotten to the problem when he got us out of that autum slump we were in during his first season and he still had us finishing strong-ish, but they did it again the season after.
Players are canny. They also know they had/have an owner who is impetuous and not prepared to back a manager to the hilt.
That Arsenal game where RM moved big Rom out on the right wing and we smashed them is one of my best Everton memories. I really though it was a turning point for us.
