Lascelles, Clark, Dummett, Ritchie, Hayden, Shelvey, Gayle

 

What makes it worse is nearly all of them have actually regressed since then as well..

And Darlow was one of the subs……….That’s 30% of our present squad have been around for 6 years……So much for building a team for the PL

It's similar with Brighton. We were promoted with them in 2017, only Solly March and Lewis Dunk still regularly feature for Brighton who were part of their promotion side. Villa were promoted 2 years after us. :lol:

 

Ashley's legacy. Howe is not the problem, but to me that tells me he needs some fucking help in the window. Get spending.

This been posted anywhere? Not really a like for like comparison and it is only one game. But I’m sure our average positions are all a good 10-15 yards higher up the pitch under Howe compared to Bruce across most games.  
 

Not translated into results or big improvements yet. But I found it interesting all the same.

Everton squad is one of the worst of all, they just blew their money on craps like iwobi, Keane. They have 3-4 good players and i heard they were out injured for most of the season , richarlison, celvert Lewin, mina etc. Add that with the toxic fans, it was always a very difficult job, impossible to say the least 

And ours is much better ? Never mind wasted money we haven't spent any in years. Trying to get a team of crap players to start playing attacking football instead of park the bus style for god knows how long even under Rafa. I loved Rafa when he was here but don't want to go back to that again. If he was a proven winner recently then maybe but a hell of a gamble to go backwards considering he seems to have gone backwards as a manager. I say give Howe a chance to rebuild this shower of shit and if we go down then so be it. Start from scratch.

Well they had at least one more good player and they sold him to Aston Villa in the last couple of days directly on the instruction of Rafa. His own former captain doesn't seem to rate his judgement that much it seems.

I'd not seen it on here but Kev's stuff is normally spot on and he's done some smaller pieces since he changed Jobs. 

 

I think it's great to see this type of analysis but tbh I think you can see it on the pitch. It's not the same lacklustre performances, yes there's individual mistakes and game management issues but they're underpinned by general neglect of fitness from mr Bruce. We looker better on the ball and if we get the rub of the green once I think that'll be enough impetus (with some new faces) to keep us up...

Good thread that and matches the eye test.

I can spot at least two there who were awarded new contracts and maybe Bruce five bellies hinted they had much to thank him for.

Really interesting graphics from that Lawton fella. I don't think there's any question that we play with more structure and intensity, it's they only real visible difference. It just hasn't translated into results. It's the sort of thing that gives you some optimism because it indicates that we're working on building a solid foundation. Improve CB and CM and hopefully we'll start seeing the material impacts.

Of course you can see it. Plenty of fans (mongs) just say it’s no better than it was before. As results are still poor. 
 

Obviously it’s a results business and we need to start picking up wins one way or another. But at least there are some positive changes.

Our set pieces have clearly been better the past two games and Joelinton (I know) should have scored in at least one of them.

The header Schar missed against Cambridge was also easier than the one Watford scored.
