People were saying in the summer that our recruitment was designed to suit the club so the structure was there regardless of our coach. 3 coaches and that's a definite fail.
The club proper f****d up in the summer.

Yes they did. They allowed the Nuno situation to develop. In fairness to them they could probably see that Nuno's approach was unsustainable, especially without Elanga, but to allow it to go as long as it did was poor. And then Ange.....

To rub salt into the wound I just had an email from Forest asking how my match day experience was against Everton.
It was shit.
Thanks

Still shocked and angry about those tactics last night.
What were Dyche and his staff thinking???
When something is so clearly wrong from the very start (which was an utterly piss-poor idea in the first place that you’d think a Sunday team would be smart enough not to do if they had 1 striker under 6ft vs 2 massive centre backs), maybe change things instead of doing it 50 more times and hope for a different result.
We were woeful last night and I fully blame Dyche. (Even though in general I like him and I’m desperate for him to do well.)

Lots of focus on the manager but what about the players on the pitch?
First half the two crosses to avoid Takwoski fell to Callum, he watched both travel thirty yards, the first fell straight to his feet’s but he hit it straight into touch with his studs, the second bounced off the floor and hit his hands, resulting in a free kick to Everton.
As soon as they went one nil up they had an automatic block of seven to break down, you either play through them or round them.
On the latter the aim is to not put it into Jesus but the others coming into box. Where the f**k were they?
Turning to the former, then that’s down to MGW, Anderson, Douglas Luiz and Dominguez. Domi was a waste of space and contributed nada. MGW is supposed to be an elite player but him and Anderson struggled against James Garner. Only one of those three looked elite last night and he as in a blue shirt.
What the f**k were Murillo and Zinchenko doing for their second goal. The attempted steal by Murillo was embarrassing and Zinchenko looked like a defender playing for the under 7s.
The management team deserve some criticism but f**k me some of those in a red shirt last night were utter dog shite.

This is it, someone elsewhere crossing is often the easy option, we needed our elite players to show up to carve open a low block and they went missing.

Yep, even if you disagree with the tactics, it's not like Dyche is out on the field. We allegedly have good players on the field that failed to implement the tactics regardless. Even if you think these tactics aren't particularly effective, that group, at home, should be able to at least outplay a weakened Everton team and we did not manage that.

27 minutes that lasted 10 seconds.
The time of first "Come on you Reds" chant from the fans. Half-hearted "Mull of" and A Block were silent all game.
Then the mass exodus after the second goal was getting right behind the lads. Some didnt come back after half time.

I think that might have been Evertons first goals since they last played us.
With their best players out.
Happy New Year

That is tree.
They hadn't scored since they last played us.
