It’s absolutely the players.

They’ve downed tools for 6-7 managers now. But this feels different, I don’t think they’re not trying here, they look genuinely lost out there.

They don’t seem to have a clue what they’re doing, whereas under Benitez and co, they genuinely just gave up. Feels like they like Lampard, but the tactics aren’t working.

The tactic can only work if the players have collective and consistent work ethics. When we press and fight well, we get results. I don’t think our players believe in such approach and the next manager will struggle with the same issue.

The squad needs to break apart and start from scratch and rebuild a hardworking culture. Something is rotten beyond repair, certainly beyond the control of any managers we’ve hired.
 
None, all deserved sacking, it's a results business and the results were crap. Martinez had fragments of a plan to get behind, but it wasn't any good really was it.
None of them should have been hired.
ALL of them let down by poor recruitment, by themselves as well like but yea.

Koeman /Walsh the most culpable imo. (Excluding the board)

Let's go back further, we should have stuck with Mike Walker and ended this misery years ago. We could all be eating hotpot pies and bovril in the conference now and enjoying the game.

Remember, you can drink pints on the terraces in non league.

I don't even think they deserve the use of the word 'Tactics'. I mean 'Tactics' really is a word used for the game-plan you have trained on and set about using to best suit your game and getting the best out of your players against different Opposition.
When looking at our players during a game, not a single one of them ( apart from grey ) honestly knows/understands what there role is on the pitch or what to do once they are in possession. resulting in constant side/back passing whilst giving plenty of time for the opposition to get back in position with 11 players behind the ball.
as for why I singled grey out is cos he plays to his strengths, his decisions are made once he gets the ball to his feet not on a dressing room 'whiteboard'.

I would love for a commentator to catch one of the players off guard after a game and put that question to them about there role.
 
When we can argue a case for most of these managers, we should argue the crap above and below them. How many times have we seen the defending like tonight, the players have done that consistently with each manager. And then there’s the board…
 
Silva but we were sinking like a stone then so we had to, but again it shows you the club is the problem it's why Carlo walked away
 
I picked Rotund Samuel because he did a good job straight away. I don't think he's had the opportunity to make the most of a bigger club like Everton. When I read fan criticisms about the supposed awful football played and that he wasn't the future, I think the opinions were exaggerated and prejudiced. The entitlement from such fans is laughable and lame.

It's interesting that Silva is the most popular choice. I remember during the Fulham game, a comment that sticks in my mind was from Jim Proudfoot commentating, saying that Silva and the club were probably better off without each other.

If Fulham beat us when they come to Goodison, it wouldn't surprise me if he gave two fingers to the attendance.

The Allardyce embarrassment? How exactly was that an embarrassment considering every manager since has us lower in the table?
The only thing embarrassing was Moshiri being stupid enough to sack him.

Moshiri "listened to the fans". It's his fatal flaw.

Allardyce had stabilised us. He had us comfortable from relegation within a month and we finished top half. Easily. But Mosh listened to the voluble style-over-content types and went for the sexier, younger, model. We finished in exactly the same position the following year and then plummeted. He might have gotten away with the Allardyce firing if he'd successfully upgraded us, but he didn't. Silva wasn't big enough for the job.

He listened to the fans again when they daubed their pro-Lampard graffiti all over Goodison. He clearly listens to the biggest "fan" of all by keeping Charlatan Bill in situ.

In essence, he failed at Everton because he never really had a clue - see his personal involvement in the signings of Iwobi and Tosun - and listened to people who he thought did.
 
It’s the board that is the problem, buying cack after cack. Ffs buying 3 number 10’s (lost count) spending ridiculous amounts on bang average players then giving them 5 year contracts on massive wages. Sacking manager after manager when he can’t get a tune out of a bunch of mismatched circus clowns. We are now a poisoned chalice, a laughing stock, who in their right mind would want to come and manage/play for us. Do the right thing and sink us into the Mersey, maybe I can get a decent nights sleep then.
