Exactly - he should be one of the first names on the team sheet because he is what our midfield has been missing for an age.

RM is actually hanging his own players out to dry particularly his defenders. He is asking them to play in a way that they aren't good enough to do at Premier League level. If any of them was capable of it they'd be playing for a top four side. However, because of his own vanity project he is drumming into them that they must play this crazy passing game from the back. When it inevitably breaks down continually and poor goals are conceded they are made to look the bad guys, they are made to look like far worse players than they actually are. The sad thing is that it will never work at this level and he is fooling less and less people - he doesn't have the talent to coach it. Even the commentators and opposition fans can see the utter folly of it. He really is a less than average coach who has come up with this idea that he can turn a squad of lower Premier League footballers into an elite team along the lines of Man City. As I said, it's his own vanity project and the sooner SR realise it's got zero chance of succeeding the sooner they'll realise they have to fire him. I just hope they don't leave it too long.

Lots of good points made here that I suspect most of us would agree with.

Nah, he's just floundering when being questioned.

He's a fraud and is about to get found out big time.

He didn't say that.....surely.

Or today you could go onto Everton's fans forum to cheer yourself up.

Well don't be surprised if in a poor system with players on the bench who clearly should be starting you don't get the best out of your talented players. You drop them in the middle of a shits how and they will drop in standard.

You telling me we have to put up with this utter shit until Christmas!

And that's before you even mention the cluster fuck of a starting line-up which invited this trouncing.

Almost totally on Russ that.

Super goal that.

Been saying this too. Insanity.

Snakeoil salesman I'm afraid. Surely he can't keep up the con for much longer.

How long have we been trying and failing this clown's suicidal system now? It's never going to work at this level.

Putting himself in the shopwindow if he's any sense.

Wait until we play the good sides. The record could tumble.

Wrong starting line up which was obvious to everyone but Russ. Midfield should have been Downes, Fernandez and Big Les and Archer should have been played through the middle. You've been rumbled Russ.

Just get rid of this stubborn clown now.

We've learned - just waiting for Russ to catch up. May take a while so much patience needed.

Yeah it's an embarrassment to RM as is not starting Big Les and Archer.

But he'll always believe he's right I'm afraid.

Yeah, fill your boots mate if it floats your boat, Stubborn as a mule.

Yeah, he set up and watched last week's shambles then thought it would be smart to hit the repeat button.

Well I agree but even more important than that is to pick your best players with no sentiment or loyalty like all good managers do.
