Everton are absolutely woeful. What a chance to get 3 points.

Why not?

Seems a lost cause. Now seems a good time to do something different. I doubt it'll make any difference.

I was saying it was to late, the fact we leave it till 83mins to bring our 15m signing on

Don't know what this Foster wide, Odobert central is. Really doesn't work.

Sending off looked a bit unlucky, I think Muric may have got there. Stupid though.

We are being relegated because they are just potential, not the here and now

Wo Didi · Post by **Wo Didi** » Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:46 pm

Unfortunately our players just can't do the basics, like passing to a team mate and controlling the ball. This second half has been woeful against a turgid Everton side.

Right now I can only say we are being relegated due to poor recruitment in key positions and tactical selections and decisions by the manager. We haven't found a side all season, the way some players have been left out ala Muric is absolutely negligible and the business resulting in us stock piling wingers and not getting the signings in key areas we actually needed again was poor. We've been pants on the field too but we've been let down in the board room and the managers office this season.

And what about Sheff U and Luton?

Lots has said how well they've but they're both coming down with us.

I know the narrative is Amdouni is rubbish, Foster is brilliant and Rodriguez can do no wrong but it’s so untrue.

I don’t have a narrative I just see what I see. Amdouni looks a cracking footballer but he just doesn’t contribute. Whether that’s because the whole team is poor or just him remains to be seen. Obviously if he scores today then I’ll delete my post.

Wingers and forward fetch more than full backs and midfielders who hold and destroy.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:48 pm

Funmny how hard done to the Scousers feel.

Beto in with studs up. Makes contact with before getting the ball. Then dives 1 min later.

Clearly not happy with their "robbing" off us this afternoon.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:48 pm

Game changes for me on Tarks not being sent off in first half. First tackle could have been a straight red but certainly a yellow. Ref bottled it as usual

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:49 pm

Leon Osman biased as f*ck on my comms.
Berge ran in a straight line and Beto lost control and ran into him turning.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:49 pm

Of all the many ridiculous games I've seen this season, I think this one tops the lot.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:49 pm

Foster looks poor to me, more like the Foster from last season.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:52 pm

In any attempt to find positives from this....

At least we can plan for life in the league below more quickly than last time round.
It also saves my stress levels now I'm accepting relegation again.

Any others?

We’ve been **** for 85% of the season, but considering how bad Everton are and the fact we have not laid even a glove on them today, this may well be the worst to me.

We spent more than them and actually took one of Sheffield United's key players. We just spent in ridiculous areas. With a view to investment for our bank balance rather than to the here and now on the pitch.

Then you look at the Muric decision alone. It's hard to imagine that had Muric not played all season we'd have more points. Then the same can be said for Cullen. And I guess everyone's sat here wondering if exactly the same could be said for Benson. Kompany decision making and selections have been baffling and yes, negligible. He left a kid in the net taking flack making mistakes for weeks. His confidence must be shot. We've been pants on the field but we've been let down by the board and the manager this year. And you'll struggle to change my mind.

Probably won't. Loaned out for the rest of his contract ala Weghorst is my guess.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:54 pm

Barely turning up for the two biggest games of the season and playing our best striker outwide and our best winger through the middle is criminal tbh.

Factor in money spent, regression shown in big signings, disciplinary records and this really has been one of the worst seasons we've ever had (pound for pound).

Nowhere near good enough and I've tried and tried and tried to support the manager but he really needs to own up to this sh1tshow because it's been a ******* joke from week one to now.

Foster wasn’t great last season but turned up at the beginning of this one looking like a proper player but then got ill and hasn’t looked himself which is understandable

Everton are so so poor but we've lacked any real belief or proper penetrative. We've not forced Pickford into any decent saves
