Everton actually have a decent squad though. Genuine PL quality like Doucoure, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Ndiaye, Pickford etc. We only really have Hermansen and El Khannous who you can argue are at the level required.

What's the point in bringing in a new manager? The squad is horrible, i dont think anyone's going to.get this lot fired up and go on a run of results.

Worst top flight side in our history tbf. Relative to us this Man United side are prime Barca.

The only good aspect of the club is that we have a golden generation of academy players. Watch us line up with a new batch of PL rejects next season though rather than give our talent a chance.

The West Ham commentators were raving last night about how Monga was the best talent theyd seen at u21 level, at least this season. I have no doubts that Monga and Evans are already better players than Ayew and Reid. You dont just lose your technique and ability to strike a ball when you move up to the men's game. You personally may have struggled at adjusting to men's football but to be frank with you you werent one of the best talents in your age group in the country, theyre cut from a different cloth from your average professional footballer, let alone a 16 yr old playing in sunday league. Theyre already too good for U21 football at 15 and 16, it's clear that their abilities transcend age or logic.

Saliba struggled at u21 level for Arsenal. It's not like these players are non-professionals, you could give Cordova Reid 400 games against West Ham's u21s and he would never dribble 3 players and score like Monga did the other night. I think 'Premier League experienced' players like Cordova Reid and Ayew are very overrated. They almost dont belong on the pitch against most of the opposition we have faced this year. If they were the exact same players and were 18 yrs old sat in our academy they wouldnt get a sniff of first team football.

Cant wait for the club to splash £10mil on Ben Doak from Liverpool next summer and give charity minutes to Monga and Evans 🤩. Wouldnt be surprised if we desperately try to get Trey Nyoni on loan now that he's a coveted big six academy player.

Just play our academy players. A transfer embargo might be the best thing to happen to the club, stops us bringing in PL experienced tossers who play like theyre just breaking into senior football.

Monga > messi

Richards seems to have stalled as a player.

Much rather us line up with Evans and Monga in the first team than Ayew and Cordova Reid. Relegation or not.

Monga and Evans, wow. What i would do to see this kind of individual ability in our first team.

I thought we look ok. Page, Baybrooke, Evans and Monga have looked exciting. The rest arent at that same level. Richards in particular doesnt look great considering he was playing mens football recently.

Our youth defenders dont look particularly good though. With Alves, Nelson and Thomas our academy side might have a chance against our first team.

If rumours are to be believed we were looking at buying another goalkeeper in January as well.

We could break the majority of our negative top flight records this season. It cant be that bad as we were in league one once though!

We did shell out on his replacement though, we spent 10mil on Okoli. We already had Faes, Coady and Ben Nelson as options, it's not like we are shy of Vestergaard level centre backs.

No goals or wins at home in 6 games. Means we're due one then

who would you play instead? Winks and Skipp have been poor as well this season.

The club needs to do an enquiry this summer, not like the one we did in 2023 which was run by Rudkin, an actual external enquiry to determine who was involed in signing Kristiansen, Skipp, Coady etc. and sack the lot of them. We had an underperforming academy left back who was struggling due to being thrown in the deep end too early and we somehow spent £15 million and bought someone worse.

He offers less than than current Vardy, Daka or even Edouard. There's wanting something new and then there's pissing your pants every time Daka started over him last season despite Cannon not showing enough to warrant starting. (not directed at you personally, just the general reaction every time Daka started last year)

He was an england youth team regular and had already debuted for chelsea before he joined us. Sadly you have to be born world class to get first team minutes at 18 years old for us.

Only happy clappers supported the Betrand signing. Soumare to be fair looked far better on paper before he came than he actually is as a player, not many people saw him turning out like he did. I would say there was a section of fans who were calling for Dewsbury Hall to be a part of the team that summer who ended up getting a chance due to Soumare's struggles. So the transfer was avoidable if Rodgers looked at the players we had on loan and trusted in Dewsbury Hall.

Not in the squad tbf.

It's still a departure from working as manager. Other ex managers working in the role are Fabio Capello and Rafa Benitez, who wont be in a job any time soon.
