I don't know if it's this one or a different year but one thing I do know for certain is that Michael Keane is in it.

What is the title of the thread?What about the days of Mitch Ward, Tony Thomas, Carl Tiler, Gareth Farrelly, John Spencer? We’ve had far worse.

I'd say the squad we had post Rooney departure in 2004 was worse than this current one.
Difference is we had a manager who knew his players and the tactics to get the best out of them.
This squad does not
Look at the title of the thread haha, worst squad since the early 2000’s.I quoted that last night. Around 1997. Kendalls 3rd spell. That squad was awful. Some of the squads from 2003 on were decent. Well mid table decent.
This squad is scaring me like 1997.
AndThe
Problem
Is
The
Manager
Spped was a good player ... not sure I agree on Collins. Ball always seemed to be injured.The 97/98 and 98/99 teams (widely regarded as awful) actually had players in it who would stroll into the current Everton XI. I'd take Dave Watson and Marco Materazzi over any of our current centre backs. John Collins and Gary Speed would stroll into our midfield and be massive upgrades. Michael Ball was better than Mykolenko. Would probably take Bakayoko over N'Diaye, Chermiti and Beto as well. At least Bakayoko scored a few goals. We also had Kevin Campbell (RIP) who would immediately be our best striker now.
That was a huge over achievement if you look at any metric and even just on the eye test.Haha, same squad that managed to get almost 50 points last season is now absolute bottom feeders.
Dyche mentality in full force, Royal Blue Burnley.
