canarydan23 4,762 Posted June 24, 2020 Yes we were bottom before lockdown and losing plenty, but we were massively unlucky in a lot of defeats and went down fighting. We were earning plaudits like "best bottom side in Premier League history" and "their performances are better than their league position". Now we're looking like challenging the infamous Derby and Sunderland sides as the Premier League's worst ever. No fight, no guts, no leadership, no effort, no chances, no goals, no quality. Maybe we actually are the best fans in the world, we're the difference between a half decent side and a team that would struggle in the Anglian Combination.

City 2nd 193 Posted June 24, 2020 The life-blood seems to have been sucked out of the club completely. Its totally embarrasing when even the BBC commentators and pundits rip us to shreds, and the trouble is they are not wrong in every aspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HertsCanary93 223 Posted June 24, 2020 No doubt in my mind that this is the worst Premier League season I can remember us producing. Worthy, Neil and Hughton got stick for some miserable relegations - but not since we were relegated from the championship have I seen so many 'no shows' in 1 season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarydan23 4,762 Posted June 24, 2020 How can an Everton side with nothing to play for bar a few meaningless positions in the league show more desire than a team who should be fighting for their lives? F***ing embarrassing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You must have a different BBC to me because they have not torn us to shreds on the BBC I am watching. They were critical of our marking at the corner and said we will be relegated, hardly tearing us to shreds...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 11,136 Posted June 24, 2020 Shame really. I had genuine high-ish hopes for us at the beginning. Good coach, some really promising youngsters coming through and experienced heads to help them through. Other than one or two high points it has been a thoroughly disappointing season.

Aggy 944 Posted June 24, 2020 Not sure lack of desire was the issue today. We looked much better in that regard than we did against Southampton - hard to be flying in with the tackles with no fans etc. The issue tonight was just no spark, moving the ball too slow, no creativity. Plus shoddy set piece defending again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,610 Posted June 24, 2020 We’ve not put out our best side in the best formation in either of the two crucial games this week. That is pretty inexcusable. add in the usual inability to respond to the opposition getting on top in gsmes and to defend set pieces and it’s not pretty.

Not strengthening in defence or defensive midfield or adequate back up for Pukki pretty inexcusable really but Farke now seems to be making very strange choices. Key players lost confidence and we have zero back up... Poor transfer windows from Webber. Just end now... Dreading Saturday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vlad666 207 Posted June 24, 2020 Farke has made a lot of mistakes this year but I don’t blame him for this season. His hands have been completely tied and was given an impossible job. I’ve never seen a team promoted before that then fails to buy a player to improve the first eleven. The truth here is we have players in the team who have to be at the top of their game to play in the championship. Also on a side note this is one of the physically weakest sides I’ve ever seen us produce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you think there was more 'desire' from Everton on that pitch I'll never be able to find compromise with you! It just isn't true! Was there less quality ... hell yes. Have Everton spent hundreds of millions of pounds more than us ... hell yes. Questioning the desire of your own club's players is a vicious criticism that should be reserved for footballers that really deserve it. Not these boys. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
