Well I can't say today's result surprised me. Disappointed.yes, but not surprised in the slightest. Same old bottle job Everton. Chance to be 8th and in European spot, but threw it away. Same 1st team and same squad all season.
A chance to try a u21 or 2 who are producing, but not under Moyes. I wouldn't have my hopes up for last game either. We never do well against a team that's battling in relegation places.

Well, for the last six games we have let in 14 goals and collected three points. No doubt, we will see the same defense next week against Spurs. He has no idea, and the thought of having to watch this football next year is depressing.
Don't give me we need a few good players, we need new tactics which is aimed at winning games not "not losing" which obviously is not working.

All starts with the manager and his mind set. I mean, just what did he say to them at half time? Sit back and try and hang on to the 1-0? Agree with others, the thought of watching this turgid style of football again next season is depressing me already.
{Ed025's Note - the thing that worries me brass is that i dont want the budget we have spent on Moyes type players mate, another lamppost of a forward that we just lump the ball up to looking for 2nd phase ball, over the hill players like Souchek and Trippier and Stones who are looking for a last pay day, or just grafters who will run all day and offer very little constructive, im depressed for next season already and this one is not even finished yet ffs..

Well, last game, I'd change things around. Put Aznou LB. Rohl has played RB before, so try him there. Give Dibling a run out at RW. But, I know it'll be same team as against Sunderland. I can't believe how much possession Sunderland had in 1st half against us.
While it doesn't guarantee winning a game, surely having more possession against teams leads to more opportunities in attack. And I don't mean possession as in our back 4 passing to each other for 90 mins.

Agree with what you say Ed in particular about budget being spent on players like Stones, Soucek etc.
I am with you Dentie on changes you outline for last game, I would have tried them all earlier in season at some point, if only one at a time.
