I guess that I have to agree with Ed002 although I would call the supporters "frustrated" rather than "toxic". In my day the old lady rocked, of course the attendance was normally much higher and the football was much better regardless of whether we were winning or not.
City of course have better players but they also play as a team (which we do not) . They keep possession (which we do not) . The players run into free space so that the player with the ball has options (ours do not) . When they do not have the ball their players make every effort to get the ball back (ours just back off) . Pep has them playing to a system which involves triangular moves between players (if ours have a system it is boot the ball up field as soon as we are under any pressure) .
If we could put Pep in charge of our existing squad without any additions or reductions in staff and put Big Sam as manager of City with the same restrictions does any one believe that in the fixtures next year we would see the same display. We have players who were good with their last clubs and Pep would have them playing like a team. They might not be good enough to win anything but I would bet that they would be entertaining and a lot better than we are at present.
Obviously there are not many Pep's around but their must be better ones than Big Sam. I want to see Goodison rocking again so please Moshiri get us in a Manager that will make us proud again.

We have been for a long time in the so called 'second division' of the premiership that accepted, my problem with the management and some of the players this and last season is the towel seems to get thrown in very quickly . even before a knockout blow has been received!
What the fans want is endeavour and that seems to have been lost in the wind that blows towards the Bramley Moore Dock, bring back some blood and guts and fight for every ball, a few showed that yesterday Jags, Coleman but they were overshadowed by the average and below .
We need a young manager with ideas this is so Bolton c2000’s . I’m not being toxic. but never mind City being so good . as they are . we didn’t compete that's the problem.
