He went to Chelsea when none of their fans wanted him there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he will be fine but it will be chaotic from some. It's a good appointment for us I think, I doubt he will pull up any trees there, they are catchable.

Very conservative style. Though I suspect it had something to do with personnel, especially with James being injured for large parts of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deadwood is also hard to shift given the massive fees and wages they were signed for. It's like us after MON. They have a decent spine to build around though, but how are you going to get rid of (and replace!) players like Andre Gomes, Iwobi, Bernard, Delph etc. Even Sigurdsson is getting on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Everton will be hard to beat with Rafa. They'll be solid if unspectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 They need better CBs. Keane, Mina and Holgate all walking errors and Godfrey's best performances came at RB. Actually think rest of the team is pretty decent when they're all fit. It's more a mentality issue for them at key stages of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Gutted, Rafa is an excellent manager. Everton will be strong this season Hopefully Everton fans can hound him out before he gets his feet under the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa was an excellent manager, I think they'll be pretty much in the same position and we can definitley target overtaking them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
