In true Souness style "I go back to what I have said" - Roy Hodgson is tried and trusted, he has ensured that we have remained in the PL for 3 seasons on a limited spend and he has met his objectives. He has a great deal of credit in the 'Bank' and will be at the helm for the foreseeable future. Sorry I read that wrong Willo, I thought you said he was tired and crusted.

Seems obvious to me. If Zaha leaves then Mr Hodgson must follow. He has no clue how to use what is a fairly talented (if aging) squad to advantage. I'd say even if Wilf stays new blood is desirable. We would need an Allardyce-type from the old school I do wonder if he approved the signing of Eze or if Freedman was anticipating a new manager or maybe a first signing for himself ? Why would an '' Allardyce-type '' type get the best of what we have ? And you can't get much more '' Old School '' than Hodgson ! As for giving youth a chance, here's an extract from an Everton fanzine '' Sam Allardyce has never had a reputation for giving youth a chance to play at the various stops of his bottom-feeding managerial career.'' Tomas Frank is doing some good work in the Championship backed by a scouting model that has much to be admired. What he doesn't have is a track record of dealing with a highly experienced Premier League players or opponents.

Give it til the next game. I don't sense that Roy Hodgson is under any pressure and given his record at the club, there is faith in him to preserve our PL status. Edited by Willo (03 Dec 2020 3.27pm)

There are rumblings now, and eventually there will be a full fan reaction. The results are not good enough, combined with a style from yesteryear. I'm surprised we use Inside Forwards, I thought this too fashionable. Anything to remain narrow and track back, I guess. Nil all will not placate me this week.

I accept two exceedingly disappointing results against Burnley and Newcastle. We have an aged squad with many players in the 'Twilight' of their careers and past their peak.We lack vibrancy and energy and of course our failings in front of goal have been well documented.

Just listen to Big Sam speak he is complete opposite of Roy he clearly states ball must go forward keeping the ball and side or back passing is waste of time it only increases stats nothing else. People like to accuse many managers of not giving youth a chance Roy was the same he was forced into having to otherwise he wouldn't of and I can understand why some managers wouldn't if you at a club with a lot of talented players why would you leave them out you want to win, the other thing is you need to have the talented youth to begin with to play if it was so easy everyone would be doing it. Frank has been forced into that position which is why he is doing it like that if you had giving him lots of £ to spend he would be doing just that and correct it's all well doing it for a short time in Championship with a team that doesn't have great expectations but stepping up to best league in the world then dealing with these players is different matter
