‘Football isn’t instant coffee. You have to work at it. You must grow the bean, grind it.’ Ian Holloway

I’m not totally anti-Hodgson.
In the past when fixtures didn’t clash with Palace I occasionally watched Hodgson’s Fulham.
He did a fine job there and they were quite entertaining to watch.
I also think he did a very good job in his first year at Palace.
This season I don’t admire his work, certainly from an attacking standpoint.
With the same squad as Hodgson has here I doubt say Rodgers or even Wilder would set up each game so defensively.
We have a good squad, albeit unbalanced in some respects.
I’m not saying he’s a bad manager but I do cringe when I hear him acclaimed as our greatest manager merely through keeping us up.
Pulls , for example,had a far inferior squad to work with.
Coppell built a team from nothing and took us from the Championship to third in the equivalent of the Premier League and the Cup Final.
People can feel free to disagree but I’m just trying to introduce some balance.

No. Sahko was on loan under Big Sam and signed before Hodgson arrived.

How do you make a thin squad of 30 year olds an attacking force ? The squad is not good it’s old and unbalanced.

An OG or a scramble or penalty.

I remember when Parish made the mistake of hiring FDB and talking about no more relying on the bounce of the ball in our favour.

Point would've been fair and that would've been a good result against Sheffield who are playing with lots of confidence, we are struggling simply because we fail to make the most of our opportunities in front of goal nothing more nothing less, our home losses so far have not been unexpected when considering the form of the sides we were competing against especially taking into consideration the lack of talent helping Ayew.

It should not be ignored the difference one simple goal can make to the atmosphere and memories of everyone watching, we are not anywhere near as bad as some fans on here are making out, we will play much better at Everton because we will be much better suited to do so.
