Who is Vieria?

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Sean Dyche’s Everton edging away from relegation zone.
Just saying.

‘Vi eria’ is the part of the pitch where we need to both get the ball into and have a player designated to operate within to score goals.

Unfortunately we have been shooting at our own goal from within vi eria and now giving away fouls there too.

Ol’ Pat seems to have the tactical board up the wrong way round however and that might soon cost him his job. There’d be little in a way of an argument against it.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

The team is certainly going backwards under PV, odd substitutions, odd selections, tonight, why in God's name Luka and not the new lad from Stuttgart ?? Wilf not exactly putting it in and the continuous refusal to start with a recognised forward, so not exactly a surprise that we have had a complete dearth of shots on target in recent games.
This may well be a significant week for him especially when we suffer a toothless debacle at the Gaymex on Wednesday.
However, the root of current problems goes far deeper. Last season PV certainly benefited from substantial investment in the summer window 2021 (from John Textor) which gave him better options than currently.
Since then we have had 3 windows with at best poor investment in the side, Benteke was not replaced and any of the youngsters with any sign of potential have been shipped off on loan.
Shaun Derry was clearly dispensed with for not following the party line.
Going to the game tonight and seeing the line-up, it had the feel of one those early games in the first season under Holloway when it was really a case of setting up and saying to the opposition ' can we have the ball back Mister ?'
After 10 years at this level, count them !! We have, thanks to Mr Parish's complacency and arrogance, particularly this year around the January window, the feel of a Championship club with a lop-sided squad and not a medium-sized established Premiership one.
His priorities appear to be the Academy (more useful in the Championship) and a bigger Main Stand (less so in the Championship).
Relegation to the Championship could quite easily come to pass (maybe a few more of the fan base now have the heads out of the sand on this) because despite the pointless speculation by other posters elsewhere on this site about where points will be won and how many will be needed to stay up, points are actually won on the pitch and currently where is the next goal or win coming from ??
All the teams below us have goals in them and better investment in their squads and unlike our players, they battle.
They will also be licking their lips at the prospect of only having to score once to win !!

That all sounds very emotive and quite scathing but in reality it’s hard to argue with.

I honestly believe the board, including these ‘investors’ thought ‘we’ll be fine this season after last and if we want to spend money it’ll be elsewhere’. Very naive and potentially disastrous now.

If I want to point a finger of blame it’s at them but the statistics are embarrassing of if nothing else and we look up a certain familiar creek however without even an hint of any proverbial paddles.

I’m not pointing a finger at PV, nor do I wish to express any ire towards him, but I will say wherever the blame lies is almost irrelevant now, we need solutions and I am certain PV cannot provide them. The team selections, tactical approach (or lack of) body language, demeanour, lack of cohesion, leadership and spirit on the pitch all point to something seriously wrong and not salvageable by sticking with the status quo. I don’t see the point in him leading us out for another game, spare him the grief, give the fans and perhaps players some belief action is being taken and start strategising next move. Not doing so just feels like a delaying of the inevitable and prolonging of this agony.

Absolutely agree up to and including it being a shame.
