Everton has always felt that it is a level with West Ham, Leicester City, Villa and other teams in recent years, with a certain economic strength and fan base, the top ten in the Premier League is almost normal, and there is still a big gap between the top six in the Premier League. The league limit is to qualify for the Europa League, so don't expect too much, but in recent years, even if you lower your expectations, it is difficult to say that you are satisfied with the team, and it is unacceptable to spend hundreds of millions of pounds on the Liverpool youth team. After Benitez lost to Crystal Palace in this round, he received a large number of fans boos, which reflects the embarrassment of the team - the input and output have not been proportional.
Brands fled, and Everton was given power to Benitez
The team management Brandts left a few days ago, and there should still be a contradiction with Benitez, which also shows that the team will release the right to recruit to head coach Benitez. To be fair, Brandz has done a very good job in recent years, and the people who buy it can basically play a role such as Richard, Mina, and Digne; the most criticized are two, one is Iwobi is said to be Mo xuli's name, and the other Isaguer, the injured physique can not blame Brandts; in general, the former Walsh dug too big a pit and did not make up for it.
Much-maligned Brands announced his departure
In addition, the midstream team wants to improve the lineup generally two paths, one is the giant Water Water and the other is the weak team poaching. Weak teams poaching in the Premier League is too difficult, generally want to improve the strength is really only the giants to come quicker; the other is like Leicester, other leagues, especially Ligue 1 digging treasure, but this is more test of scouting ability, so it is really difficult to bring in reinforcements; in fact, when I just had money a few years ago, I felt that it was really important to retain core players, such as Lukaku and Stones in the FA Cup final squad a few years ago, but the sadness of the midstream team is that even if you have money, first-class players will choose a bigger platform Like the championship-winning Leicester, the core of the second season also ran, and Everton faced such a dilemma.
The irresponsibility of the previous coach
But to be honest, although not optimistic about Benitez's prospects in the team, but I think benitez is currently doing OK, a few of his led signings in the summer window are very effective, and the current results are acceptable in injury situations; but Rondon has returned, hoping that Benitez will not let him start again, from the perspective of playing Arsenal, 433 bring Andre. Gomez starting would be a better option, and hopefully there will be a better performance later, especially after Lewin's comeback, otherwise the team will fall into new chaos. Saying that Benitez is good is relative, and the contrast is Ancelotti, and many people may disagree.
Good and bad are relative, the contrast is Ancelotti, many people may disagree, but I think Ancelotti is actually not doing well under Ancelotti, and he left the team with such a high salary and ran, can understand but really is not a gentleman.
There are too many old people in the former dynasty, and the team lineup is not all playable
The squad is uneven due to the previous signings, and here are some of my comments from players in various positions:
Goalkeepers: Pickford, Begovic, Lonergan
Among them, Pickford is undoubtedly the number one goalkeeper, and he is the absolute main force at Everton, but due to the height problem, he can no longer reach the top, and the strength is absolute. Bergović transferred from Bournemouth to play the second goal this season, without too much explanation, while Lonergan needs to go through the league trials.
Defenders: Kenny, Holgate, Michael Keane, Digne, Mina, Godfrey, Coleman
Kenny has not been allowed to reuse, and Digne as a France international and Benitez have a conflict, the two may be sold this winter, and Coleman is too old to need someone to rotate.
Midfielders: Andre Gomez, Ducoure, Alain, Sigurzsson, Delph, Glamba, Tom Davis
The top three are Everton's main players, while Sigurzsson is in prison, Delph and Gminba have been injured, and Tom Davis is out of the ordinary.
Forwards: Richarlison, Lewin, Gray, Townsend, Iwobi, Rondon, Tosson
Still in the top three main players, Townsend is a substitute who often sends fairy balls, Iwobi's playing level is completely unwatchable, and Rondon and Tosson are not Premier League players at all.
From the above we can see the plight of Everton, obviously spent a lot of money, a closer look at the team can only maintain the same set of starters, and many players are unable to maintain competition with these players, which is the result of the team's former senior reinforcements.
