Where's the root of Everton's problems?

[Furey1878]

The squad is very unbalanced and there are too many players at the club that are just too comfortable with not achieving anything.

We need a Right-Back, CM/DM and a Winger/Wide-Forward. All with lots of energy, pace and desire.

The current team is too slow to ever sustain pressure on teams, we can do a low block and take our chances on the break / set-pieces well but it's only gonna get you so far.

The same problems that got a manager who has went on to manage Belgium sacked and a manager who has went onto manage Barcelona sacked. Same problems that got a young up and coming well thought of manager sacked in Silva and the same ones who now look like they've downed tools on probably one of the best managers we have ever had. Too many players bought from relegated sides too. Need to rip out the core of the team with the attitude problem and separate them from the first team squad if they can't be sold. What else do we do? Just keep sacking managers til we get relegated or back Carlo to the hilt and tackle the root of the problem

Not just with an attitude problem but skill wise, like Iiwobe, Siggy,

Ofc mate but attitude falls under recruitment for me. Only takes a handful of bad eggs and it spreads like fire. If we had the same players but with hunger and bravery we'd be top 6. The hunger has to be there even if the hunger is playing for a move it has to be there.

The summers of 2017 and 2019. Get those right, and we have a squad right now.

- too many players the 'same', no-one to come off the bench to change the game and give a different dynamic
- no pace and no ball carriers, i cant remember the last time we actually got in behind a team, stretched a team with pace
- CB's having too many touches.... pass,pass,pass at the back allowing team to get back into defensive shape.....
- players out of form, digne/richy plus others been shocking for weeks.... only players of any form are godfrey and pickford
- Recruitment has been shocking, iwobi stunk of a full on panic after we couldn't get Zaha.... bernard/iwobi/delph probably about 200k a week in wages!!

Kenwright, gradually over his two decades he has run the club with sentiment rather than business sense.Now we are just one big charity that lives and breathes the past,who happen to have a football team.

We are a charity full stop, aging players almost hitting their 30s and injury prone players coming here for a decent wage that well run clubs would be avoiding them like the plague.

I dread to see how much some players wages to starts are, Delph must be on million pounds a start since joined, really baffling signing him, always injured at City and probably close to what he was earning at City to boot and now on the wrong side of 30.

I saw an article early this month saying we had approached Aguero for next season with the carrot dangling of a huge signing on fee. He's 33 next month and the last 2 seasons he's spent more time in the physio's room than on the pitch, vanity signings like that scream of Moshiri and not Brands or Carlo.

its no surprise to me that ever since kenwright got his flabby tendrils into any position of power at everton (joined the board in 1989) everton started to decline as a club and ever since he secured control of 68% of the club he's turned this club into a mediocre farce. Im fairly sure he'll go down as the only everton chairman to never see a trophy under his stewardship.

True though what a disgusting style of play out played by the bottom of the league side -

lol

 

[gaino92]

Not one player has came out last night and addressed that performance.

That's the root of it. Cowardice. Terrible attitudes. A lack of a winning mentality that has infested the club for decades.

We should be ruthless in the summer now. An FM style complete shake up. Gut that squad; I'd happily see any/all of them go.

Pickford at least came out and said the attitude was the reason we got beat

 

[Pabbers]

Well, what it seems like we should do, is let everyone else figure it out.

As every other fan seems to know what is going wrong with the whole club, easy innit.

 

[Egil Olsen]

Much has already been said here, but does anyone know anything about Stuart Webber (the director of Norwich)? Have read a lot positively about him. I also find it interesting that Sean Dyche and Burnley use personality tests on potential players and their own players. This is to check if they have the right mentality, and how he can possibly improve his own players. Does anyone know if this is being done at Everton?

It's such an easy out to blame players attitude, our attacking play and build is shocking, we are such a poor attacking team, we're the opposite of Brighton a really poor team who take their chances (usually). The club needs a reboot, from top to bottom, it will take a few seasons but over the long haul we'd find ourselves in a much better position.

I think handing out 4/5 year contracts need to be stopped, give them 2 max 3 years and then

Im sure weve been trying to do that since Moshiri took over.
