who is/are the rotten core of the squad?

Keane, Holgate, Alli, Gomes, Davies, Iwobi for me.

Coleman obviously has a great stride attitude and at least was influential for a few years.

Gray isn't rotten, he's just crap, just like Rondon, Gbamin and Townsend. Mina also not rotten, actually he's quality, but too much of a liability to stay mid longer than this season.

Can't say either of Doucouré or Allan are rotten either, but they should be replaced as soon as possible as their best days are long behind them.

Myko, Patterson, Godfrey, Gordon should all be given a chance, heck those above have been given half a decade to prove themselves and still failed.

Pickford and DCL have proven their quality, and let's not forget that we're not a good team, so they need not be looking like world beaters.

Tarkowski very new and I'm sure will be fine.

But let's not forget the main rotten core: the board.
 
For me michael Keane is one of biggest problems. To mistake prone and devoid of confidence when things not going well which of late is nearly always . Get shut of him and replace with somebody else who can play and it’s a start !
 

To be honest i believe some of it stems from the image that the clubs leadership portrays to the outside world. We're simply too nice.
 
Gomes, Holgate and rondon would be top of my wish list of players to get rid of currently.
They offer nothing apart from despair!

Keane not far behind and as for Godfrey, Ali and doucoure, I’m desperately clinging onto hope they will get better!!

No, not for me.

DCL is a wrongun and we should get shut.
Godfrey is a fraud masquerading as a footballer.
Alli is a piss take of a player these days.
boy o boy o boy, are you going to have so much eggs on your face this season.
 
I've thought this for a while that there is a complacent attitude among this group. The we will just do enough to get people off our back types. I was listening and reading some of this squads comments after the palace game and just staying up was like their world cup moment. In reality they should have been embarrassed yet they were going on like it was an achievement.
The clubs rotten to the core because it has no hunger to be successful. There are players here who should have been shown the door but haven't because its how this club is run. Poorly.
Long winded answer but as soon as i saw rotten it came pouring out because i'm so frustrated with Everything Everton right now. We seem to get everything wrong.

The reason they haven’t been shown the door is because no other team would buy them off us and no other team would pay the wages we have them on even if we let them go on a free. It will cost us to get rid of the dross, either in covering their wages if they go somewhere else, paying them off or letting them run their contracts down. Will take 2-3 years to cleanse this club properly of the garbage we have on the books. Whilst the cost of paying their wages hobbles us when it comes to bringing in new and better players. And where will we be by then? Hopefully still in this league but it’s not at all certain anymore.
