Howard-7-solid. Coleman-6-erm, yay?. Stones-7-solid. Jagielka-8.5-bullied pelle, great today. Baines-7-took actual decent corners? Come on, where is the real baines? Hello? Hello!?. Barry-7-one dodgy pass which still went to one of our own, did his job. Mccarthy-7-worked hard and played further up, did well. Lennon-8-come here you! I love this guy, I love his attitude, his pace, his workrate, his pace, his heart, his energy and his pace, boss today, again. Barkley-7-suprisingly good first half, througn some tackles in and nut megged a few people but slips more than gerrard and that's another thing, how often do our players fall over? Its like goodison is watered all the ti. oh yeah. Osman-7-intelligent movement and did well. Kone-5.5-look arouna, pass to our players please? He held it up well but he just can't pass. Besic-6-.naismith-6-.good win, happy, well not really but we won! Woopy Doo!!

Got to say I agree with that, have you noticed Coleman does not get forward at all and offer the overlap for Lennon. Got to say its either he ain't arsed or he is following orders. Again today we were not imposing enough on the opposition and gave them the ball far to cheaply to many times. It is a concern for me that when we have the ball the movement from players off the ball is none existent and also the fitness levels are awful we looked dead on our feet in the last 10 minutes. All in all its 3 points but still going the game is like a chore for me I don't enjoy it but it has to be done. Oh and 5.5 for Kone is probably 6 to many he is just an African Brett Angel his 1st touch is that poor his second touch is either a header or throw in.

I moan because I expect better than what is being served up. Yes we got 3 points but we still look like we lack urgency and if we go into next season playing the same boring predictable football then mid table mediocrity is what we can expect and I for one won't accept that, we are better than this and it seems that the players are following orders that clearly don't work and restrict our attacking threat, its like the tactics have sucked the life out of them. But if your happy with how we are performing and how this season has gone, well mike my guess is your in the minority.

You have no right to expect better this is Everton not Real Madrid we're not this superpower what a lot of fans seem to think we are, we're not even the biggest club in our own city so get real with your expectations.
{Ed025's Note - i do have a right mike, we are the best club in the city, and no one can convince me anything different mate..

and why don't I have a right to expect better? We have arguably our best squad since the glory days of the eighties yet we are 5 points behind Stoke! So yes we may not be Real Madrid but we are Everton and I expect better and believe we would be better with the right man in charge, and you say we are not the best in our city and why is that? At christmas both us and them were on 21 points and doing shocking what happened to us? We continued with the same boring one dimensional predictable football because our manager hasn't got a tactical brain wereas there manager changed it up and played to a system that suits his players. Horses for courses as the saying goes
So to me there lies the problem. You can argue until your blue in the face but if you accept what we have witnessed this season as a success then I really don't know what you would see as a failure. Just my opinion as you have yours we can't all agree and that's what makes forums thrive.
