Might be a case of they just need to fine tune it so it fits his style now. Find it odd they've been chucking money all over the place for the last few years, get Rafa and they're only blagging free signings and whatnot. They'll probably lose Sigurdsson, need viable backup for DCL, Iwobi is fucking terrible, they've 3 CM's but nothing decent behind that afaik. Plenty of holes that could be filled, is the point I'm making. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Maybe they have seen how Rafa managed at Newcastle on zero budget, which is why they went for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Maybe the stadium a factor as well, dunno, just as much as I can't really abide Everton I was hoping Rafa would get some good backing for change. Sick of seeing him have to grub about in the bins, deserves more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Mind if I was an Everton fan I would not be happy and not wanting him either. Calls the club when he was Liverpool manager and his management record recently to their fans will look poor also (they will say Bruce did just as good a job). Take the black and white glasses off and the fact we know he was hindered also (Everton fans won’t as they wouldn’t have been interested). I can’t stand Everton fans, but from their point of view I can certainly see why he’s not liked or wanted. Mentioned earlier, imho this is a disaster in the making.

I think any manager who came in now would be told if you don't like these, by all means sell them and you can use the money to buy who you want.

samptime29 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Everton's defence isn't bad, midfield isn't very creative though. A very good striker but they need a few good quality signings imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their whole thing for the last few years has been to push on, and now they just give up? Weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Though I accept why they have an issue I trust Everton fans are being labelled as deluded for not wanting him and being like this, since they've not even challenged for the title since the mid 80s, as we would be, and allowing for his formerly managing Liverpool and comments on Everton as 'not giving him a chance' 'and 'deluded' as we were and are with Bruce re his far obsessive and pathetic attitude as head mackem. Wonder why its just us. Edited August 5, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Doesn't Rafa’s teams always start slowly then end strong? If the Everton board hold their nerve, he’ll more than succeed there.
