Appreciate the call for calm. Makes sense. But when you say massive change in squad...we had one new player in the first 11 tonight, and 2 new outfield ones on the bench. That's the massive change?

Oh come on. It's a very different squad, and a completely new season. Moreover, we were missing a first choice CB and all 4 full backs. Don't forget that levels of expectation are different too, which adds pressure. That was a completely unsurprising performance, all things considered.

Tbf I do agree. That said outbound wise we had Doucoure, Charly offered similar in a quarter of a season, we also have Grealish. We've moved on DCL and added a French u23 International who shot his team to Champions league. I believe Dewsbury-Hall will be a fantastic addition. We need more, yes

KDH very poor tonight. He is not the front end of midfield though to be fair. We have others better suited to that role.

Think most where tbh, I said this earlier but... A few things can be true here, 1) it was a bad set up by Moyes. 2) no Branthwaite or Myko was a big issue with no left footers 3) It was never a penalty I dont believe many good performances existed.

But we are in the market! I still reckon they'll get them but as several coaches have said its a difficult market. 2 of Evertons head recruitment team also dont start till September, that is a also a big issue but the issue of getting long term targets in jobs and not any old available joe.
