HanoiVillan Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Seems like they've slipped from a sensible and effective tactic, if not exactly friendly (making the city a hostile place for opposing teams to visit) to an obviously counter-productive tactic (making their home games a hostile experience for their own players, manager and owners). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they've finally realised that the directors arent the ones who go on the pitch and dont put effort in Peaceful protests indeed... Believe me mate we were utter dogshit. 3 wins all season, less than 20 points. Everton have already got 15. Getting the flashbacks now.

Think 'I don't remember us being as bad as that' was referring to the fans' anger, rather than the quality of the performances on the pitch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, Gray and Gordon are not brilliant, but they're better than Sinclair and Gil. Onana is no Veretout (in a good way). Coady is way better for them than Lescott was for us. Etc etc. ATEOTD our side in 15/16 turned in the 4th lowest points total in PL history and relative to the size of the club and expectations was arguably the worst side ever in PL history. Even if Everton end up getting relegated they'll probably never experience a side quite as shit as we offered that season. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Everton can still avoid relegation no problem. Just sack Frank. Still a badly run club in a bad way, but they are nowhere near in as bad shape as we were when we went down - they’re more like us in one of the 2 or 3 seasons before we went down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 When Villa players leave the stadium do they head straight to the M6 or drive through the mean streets of every Aston terraced street? What's with these players driving down them roads with cars parked either side, one lane of traffic and no front garden houses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were all just worn down. It started pretty much in summer 2011 with McLeish coming on so it was a full five years at prem level of terrible results in league and cup, terrible manager selection and bargain basement signings being heralded as world beaters. Ironically we had that protest v Everton when the ground just emptied at 75 minutes and then after there was individual booing for likes of Lescott so I imagine that wasn't great. I'm always amazed teams don't just bus in and out and park their cars at the training ground. Everton will probably do that from now on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season they scrambled safety on last Thursday of the season. They needed 9 home wins to do that. To equal that number they need to win 7 of their last 9 at Goodison and they still have to play Arsenal, Man. City, Spurs, Newcastle....and us (given we have a great record v them since we came up). Still to equal last season's two away wins aswell and got to visit Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man. United etc... I can't see them winning more than 5 games even with new manager so with a few draws that will get them to 33-34 points. When you think Wolves and Forest are firmly on upward trajectory now and Southampton may go on a run aswell dosen't leave that many other teams to have realistic chance of finishing above.

Their problems are mainly a bloody awful, miles out of his depth manager, like we had a couple of months ago. It's a complete mystery how Lampard is still there.

AvonVillain Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 The golden age of the placard is well and truly over. Some of the signs being held up by protesting Everton fans after the game were childish and pathetic. Fans confusing social media with real life.
