Our season was like a damp firework, it had highs and lows but eventually fizzled out.

There can be no arguments regarding the owners commitment, but he must know after a few years of investment that past player recruitment has not produced his required results, hence managers have come and gone.

Ancelotti must be given time, as he says himself. “ I am not a magician “, he must also now assess the squad and approach the owner in stark reality and inform him that another rebuild is required.

If Ancelotti stamps his identity on the squad with better quality players especially in midfield, then he must be given time to prove that the ignominious end to last season will not be repeated next season.

The problem with being a defensive unit hoping to pick off a win by the odd goal is you have to be really good at it and we're not. It's just like the days of Moyes we win a few unexpected games but overall it just gives is mid table security. If Carlo's comments are to be believed he thinks we're on the right track so to avoid high blood pressure next term resign yourself to expecting the same while he's here.

What a dull club.

Another poor performance.

Carlo has been there 18 months and I don't think we have improved. I do wonder if he is the man for the job... I think his best days are behind him.

Great article and responses.

My 2p worth: What the fuck is going on at Finch Farm? Too many players seem to go backwards skill-wise once they join Everton. Do these guys have to wait to be introduced to each other in training? They don't actually seem to like each other.

How about an away day just focusing on tackling?

This does not seem to be a recent phenomenon. Not an elephant in the room... more like a herd of the buggers!

Root-and-Branch reform of the EFC culture and practices badly needed.

Rant over!

Why does a supposed world class manager think a team that can't pass from A to B and has zero pace can play a defensive style that is totally dependent on the ability to counter attack?
