Former Liverpool star Craig Bellamy spoke out about how he thinks that Everton has gone wrong this season.
The Toffees endured a disappointing start to the season and ended up parting ways with former manager Ronald Koeman. After spending heavily during the summer transfer window, many ardent fans of the club would have been hoping that they could challenge for a place in the top four but that was not to be. Since taking over the club, veteran manager Sam Allardyce has guided the Merseysiders out of the relegation zone and into mid-table.
However, the brand of football which the club has been playing has not been impressive and many are still not convinced that Allardyce is the right candidate to lead the club going forward.
“What it (victory over Liverpool) would do to lift Sam Allardyce (let alone the team) at this present moment,” – Bellamy told The Debate.
“Look, Everton’s a good football club, got very good footballers, but it just hasn’t been (good), from the start of the season I thought their recruitment wasn’t great. They don’t have as much pace in the team as I’d like, a lot of good footballers but that attacking threat, people who can just run by people, run off people, running without the ball. Recruitment is huge (this summer).”
