I cannot believe I went to watch Everton tonight. I'm still numb. Numb from the monotonous football from a desperate side who are fortunate the Premier League is a festering mess of pathetic sides as otherwise they'd be in serious relegation trouble. I have never known a supposidly established Premier League side struggle so badly with the basics of the game. It doesn't matter that there is no 30 goal a season striker around, any of those available should be able to put a chance or two away per game. But there is no creativity, no movement. When you start games with Tony Hibbert on the flank, pack the midfield with Phil Neville and John Heitinga, you are admitting you've got no ambition.
Tim Howard's goal was a highlight, but even that depressed me as I'd taken him out of my fantasy football team as I knew we'd lose to Bolton.
I just don't see a future for Moyes at Everton. He's clearly hanging on for a buyout, but it's not like successful buyouts are commonplace in the Premier League. A non-glamourous club like Everton is far more like to end up with a Chicken farmer that will relegate and bankrupt the club than an oil oligarch that will transform it. And it's not like the current board have any intention of selling, it's all hot air.
Amazing that a team as totally hopeless as Everton is in the top half.
