I’m also sick of people coming in and saying they understand what Everton Football Club is all about. It never worked under Rafa Benitez, it never worked under Ronald Koeman and it never worked under Marco Silva.Īnd at the end of the day, these are the same players who played under those managers when the system didn’t work.īut it is baffling me that we still can’t recognise that we need three in midfield to build some kind of momentum. Possibly on Sunday we won two of the 11 battles we faced.Īgain, like he always does, Anthony Gordon won his, and Richarlison possibly won his, the rest didn’t, and you aren’t going to win football games with an outcome like that.īut Frank Lampard must also be brought into the conversation because he is tinkering and still trying to find out what his best team and formation is.įive at the back at home at Goodison Park has never worked. Getting the better of your opposite number and doing your bit for your side. The basics of football are all about winning your own personal battles.

But the second-half was absolutely atrocious as not for the first time this season we never smelt blood.Įveryone at the football club has to take responsibility for it, and I include Frank Lampard in that, who again opted to play five at the back. The first-half, on reflection, wasn’t too bad. I bought my lad a snood before the game on Sunday, and if I’m being honest I wish I would have bought myself one to cover my face with it because I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. Anger that we produced an abject performance - and disappointment at the current position we find ourselves in.
My column is a bit to the bone at times - but I can only reflect on what I have witnessed and what I think is going on.īut having had time to reflect on Sunday’s disappointment my thoughts remain as they were when I was leaving Goodison Park at full-time.Īnd they are one of anger and disappointment.
