Shukes Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hard fought battle. But we got through it. Good character again to come through. Big well done to Hull, they played their hearts out.

plaidharper Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Gordon and Gray were great once again. Loved Dobbin's enegry. Still not happy with Rafa's tactics. On to the next one (just hopefully without a back 5). nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i don’t mean that derogatory, it came across like that. I am an optimist mate. I love winning and any win for me recently is massive haha. Your right it shouldn’t have been close, but we did play a team away that smelt blood from the start… and cut us early.

I doubt there's an Everton supporter out there who is happy with the way we've been performing lately. The big thing I keep harping on about is that I just can't stand us doing another 6-8 month manager stint and firing him and bringing in someone new, expecting them to do any better. I do not think we will get drawn into a serious relegation scrap, and I want to see Rafa get at least 18 months to see what he can do. If we haven't seen any real, tangible progress after that, then by all means get rid. I didn't want him in the first place, but I am backing him because we have to change the way we run this club, in regards to managers.

Romey 1878 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Far from a convincing performance from us, our confidence is brittle as anything, but a win is a win and I hope it can boost that confidence going into Tuesday's game. It really was a weird performance to be honest. Started the game shockingly bad by conceding so early, which obviously shook us. It took us a bit of time to recover from that but then we were by far the better side and crafted two beautiful goals. At that point we looked like we could go on and score a few more, but for whatever reason we didn't manage to. Second half I thought we really struggled to get into the game but so did Hull, and it made for a pretty nothingy half of football for the most part. Hull managed to have an opportunity and put it away and then we shit our pants a bit, but we found some grit to withstand our own nerves and then from nowhere dragged ourselves to the win and the next round. It's a bit of a worry that we had to go through extra time with us having to play Leicester on Tuesday. I really hope DCL is fit enough to start because I do not fancy having to rely on Rondon at the best of times, never mind after lumbering around for all that time. nyblue23, RuffRob and dunlopp9987 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I disagree with is that I think it's entirely possible we get drawn into a relegation scrap at this point. I don't think we will get relegated because there are clubs with far less talent than we have at the bottom. But with the way we've been playing, something's gotta give soon for us to avoid the possibility entirely. I do agree that we can't just have a manager carousel. The Rafa appointment was just so wrong from the start. So long as we avoid that relegation scrap, I'm willing to give him that 18-24 months so we can find the real next manager of this club and get it right for once.
