: All very passionate TQ and can understand
: your
: frustration but facts are facts and if Utd,
: Arsenal or even Chelsea were missing 10-13
: of their first team I think they too would
: struggle.
:
: We have a very unsettled team right now and
: we were on a good run prior to the Benfica
: match.
: Defenders have to be used to playing with
: each other & understanding each others
: play.
:
: We've really missed Pienaar in the last
: month.
:
: Moyesy has had to name quite inexperienced
: attacking teams of late with no cover from
: midfield for the back four. When/If we get
: ALL our players back we will be a stronger
: outfit that last season but this terrible
: run of injuries have crippled our season so
: far.
: Hopefully we can hang in there with the
: Europa cup so that come Jan we have some of
: the older heads back
:
: Can't say I'm too hopeful now for my trip
: next Tur for the Benfica match.

: There are 2 types of problems with Everton,
: the current sort where we are stripped of
: our regular defenders and leadership...
: Without Neville, Jags, or Lescott (sorry!)
: there is no one to take charge of our
: defence... What little I've seen over last
: week suggests an entire defence playing at
: the level of Tony Hibbert, out of position,
: unable to clear, or even pass, the ball out
: of trouble, and collectively clueless... I
: have not seen anything to impress me about
: Heitinga or Neill or even Distin, though I
: have been told they are decent players...
: The way they are going at the moment they
: will be decent players in the Championship
: very soon... I have seen better football in
: Sundrive Park... It's inexcusable and
: unacceptable, and Moyes has to sort it
: out... That's his job. (sorry, I'm having
: another DT moment, a lot of them these days!
: It must the the swine flu!)...
:
: Anyway if we cannot beat Stoke or Wolves
: what can we expect from Villa, Shitty,
: Shite, Ure etc? Any team that runs with us
: will cause us serious problems... teams are
: snaffling up chances for fun... 11 goals
: conceded 3 games... Until we have proper
: players in defence we should go 4-2-3-1...
: that's what real tq thinks...
:
: The 2nd problem is more serious. The Shite
: lose 4 games in a row and their world is
: collapsing and their manager on the verge of
: being sacked. The Shite have persisted and
: persevered sometimes with little or no
: quality over the past couple of decades
: simply on the fundamental principle that it
: is not acceptable to lose games and that the
: aim of the club and team is to win
: trophies...
:
: Everton FC may have had this principle
: embedded in their makeup in the 1980s but it
: has not been there since then...
:
: Moyes has or had it in his makeup and if he
: has not got it now any longer well then
: Everton will have squandered the progress of
: the last 7 years and last 2 in particular
: will have been wasted...
:
: It should never be acceptable to lose at
: Everton. But for a long long time it has not
: mattered enough.
:
: We are on a downhill slope, we will soon be
: in crisis, just 3 points from relegation
: zone... A lot of fans think it will turn
: around, maybe even against Villa, but I
: don't think so... I cannot see an
: improvement until we meet the weaker teams
: at Xmas, and think we will be lucky to get
: to next stage Europa... if "lucky"
: is the word...
:
: "We now have something to build
: on" it says on the official site with a
: big picture of Yobo... but he's now not
: talking with the manager... and what we have
: to build on is slipping away game by game...
:
: CK says Kenwright is to blame, but if BK
: wants to make money from Everton he needs
: the team to do well...
:
: If Moyes still cares he needs get this team
: up and running and winning...
:
: Right now it looks as if we are in for the
: sort of dire season we endured each year in
: late 90s and early 00s. Right now it looks
: as if the ghost of Everton recent past is
: sitting on our shoulder and laughing out
: loud...
:
: The fightback must begin Saturday.
:
: Accept nothing less.
:
: That's what Everton for Ever means.
:
: Or should mean.
