I just don't get the views of some fans. We have to be the most negative bunch in Europe! When you look at our current squad, we have three, first-class England internationals and Seamus, in our back four (with Garbut and Galloway in reserve). In midfield we have McCarthy, Barkley, Cleverly, Deulofeu and Mirallas, up-front - Lukaku. This includes five of the best young players in Europe (Stones, McCarthy, Barkley, Deulofeu and Lukaku) and a spine that 'should' see us competing at the top end of the Premier league for the foreseeable future.
Yup. I get the need for investment, but. Shaqiri is a luxury we can't currently afford - and in all honesty; one we don't need. In fact, this applies to most of the transfer rumours we've been linked to this summer.
As it stands, Everton represent a risk for any player looking for regular (starting 11) first team action. Van Dijk would not (immediately) dislodge our centre-back pairing if Stones stays - so where's the incentive (this was the same for Ogbonna)??
Who are we going to attract that's 'better' than Mirallas, Deulofeu, Barkley and Lukaku for the number 10 and striking positions? I appreciate that Barkley is more effective playing deeper, and Mirallas appears more comfortable out wide, but both are still adequate options where the no. 10 role is concerned.
We absolutely need a centre forward, to provide some solid competition for Rom. But, whoever comes in will play second fiddle to our current, 28m striker! If you were Charlie Austin, would you risk it? If you have aspirations of playing for your country, you know you need to be playing week-in-week-out!
With the exception of Barry, our starting eleven, when fit, has crazy potential! But, if our fans continue to boo and jeer, we will continue to struggle. The most aggressive, attack-minded gameplan is impossible to execute if the players are unwilling to take the required risks through fear of being booed should they make a mistake. Our own fans are responsible for killing the confidence (and subsequent performances) of one of the most naturally gifted players we've ever produced, in Ross Barkley. For christ sake, he's only a kid - how would you respond if 10,000 people moaned every time you touched the ball?!?
Get behind the team and the manager. Fear breeds incompetence, which affects confidence, which in-turn affects morale, which affects results! It ain't exactly rocket science, is it?!?
COYB!! Kagawa, Hernandez and Lennon, please ;) (Reinstate Besic as a CB and we have adequate cover in that position until January)

Good post but with all the internationals in our defence why can't we keep clean sheets which means we would have a better than even chance of winning.

Yup. I get the need for investment and it kills me to watch as we lose out on some top talent, but. Shaqiri is a luxury we can't currently afford - and in all honesty; one we don't need.

With the exception of Barry, our starting eleven, when fit, has crazy potential! But as long as the fans continue to boo, we will struggle to perform! Our own fans single handedly killed Barkleys season last year! We need to start getting behind them ASAP. An explosive, attack-minded gameplan is tough to execute if the players are unwilling to take the required risks, through fear of being booed or jeered.
It doesn't matter how much money you make or how much talent you have. fear affects performance, which affects morale, which affects results. Give Martinez a break, support your team and we can start enjoying our football again!
