Everton are not too big or too good to go down. They have to get this right

Starting from the deliberations that preceded the highly controversial appointment of Rafa Benitez as Everton Manager, Patrick Boyland provides an analysis of that perennial mystery, the Everton "identity" and its importance to the selection of their next manager with relegation looming.

"There is little that unites any of the candidates stylistically and the direction of travel is far from clear... They cannot afford to get it wrong but have an outmoded system susceptible to interference... Simple solutions are thin on the ground, even more so for muddled thinkers. "

It's a bit like when Man Utd were relegated in 1974 – decent team, decent players, got themselves on a bad run – when they started picking up points, so did everybody else. Let's hope it doesn't happen to us.

Never felt so low being a Blue; even when we played Wimbledon and Coventry there was hope, now I am not so sure. COYB

Aye, John, but when it happened to Man Utd in the '70s, it was funny as fuck!

Moshiri hasn't a footballing clue.

No one is clammering that we need an appointment this week or next.

Get it right. So far no one seems sure, which tells me they are not good enough.

Carry on and interview a dozen or more, just get what we need and want. A manager who understands winning is more important than playing but can adapt and coach the players we have.

Why can’t we play with this type of speed every week. Seriously hoping FL will bring consistent urgency to the blues.!The last few years have been at best boring and so slow the build up. Like a two year old could read what our plan was. Against Brentford I felt like I had been teleported into the past. When Everton fc played with heart and passion. FL PLEASE bring the PASSION BACK TO THE PLAYERS AND WE WILL back you 100%. Coyb
