Everton Rumours 27363

Here's a flash back boys that will hopefully put in perspective that our club is actually in a good position.

3 years ago we had Denis Staqualursi, Royston Drenthe, Magaye Gueye and an ageing Phil Neville and a few others in and around our first team. I'd be surprised if people of that ability would make our reserves team this season. We finished 7th that season. We have the squad to get top 8 and anything less than that will not be a good enough.

It was the second time in 20 years we had a striker scoring more than 15 goals in a season - that's Lukaku who is 21 and just starting his career.

It was our highest league attendance average since the days of Rooney and Fergusonin the same team.

Let's be proud, get behind the boys, show a bit of heart and have a beast finish to this season.

The problem is m8 that team 3 yrs ago might not of had the best player in the world but they new how to defend, an that's why we was finishing 5th so many times, this zonal marking is killing us, no good having class player who can't defend for toffee an create chance, in moyes last yr we had more shot on target an created more, than we have since rm been here the only thing we do better now is keep the ball in are own half its not good enough

Big Dennis Stracq would get in any team, more passion than anyone

{Ed025's Note - not for me murf...bags of passion, but a very limited footballer mate..

I am with Bluebeard on this. If a team concedes every game and sometimes concedes 2, then they won't win many games. hey guess what. we haven't won many games. What a coincidence!

What worried me in the press conference was that when questioned about our poor defending RM went on the lines that it wasn't an issue for an attacking team that can score goals, not sure that's what we really wanted to hear at this time!

Saying that defense is not an issue in a Team that attacks and scores goals just goes to show that Roberto is blind to the position we are in, it also shows he is going down exactly the same road as he did with Wigan. Meanwhile Bill sits up their in his London Ivory Tower and not a word or any sign of action and worry. Never mind though eh Bill.

DuncsMum

We don't score enough goals to not worry about defence, we need to go back to man to man marking, if I was bill I tell RM that he must hire a defence coach,
