The ex-Everton full-back pulls no punches in his latest column for the Liverpool Echo:

"[This season is] starting to become memorable for all the wrong reasons. The crowd look bored, they look like they’re finding it all tiresome.

"Brentford had 10 men, but they were more proactive and made a substitution before us and brought a striker on because they could smell blood. They knew if they got an opportunity, and showed a bit of quality, then they could nick it.

"For Everton, that’s pathetic, that’s abysmal. Sean Dyche’s press conferences, both before and after games, have left me scratching my head in terms of the way he’s been argumentative to reporters but the questions they’re asking are only what everyone else is thinking.

"All we do is try and play the long ball, huff and puff, hope for knock downs and if our set-pieces are good, we might nick a goal.

"Because we’re Evertonians and we love the club inside out, we turn up at Goodison Park, hoping that we’ll see something different. However, realistically we know it’s the same old stuff, with no surprise element whatsoever.... we’re turning into Burnley, with an attitude of ‘that’s enough,’ but it’s not enough."

Playing boring football that don't enable teams to win. I'm surprised on how poor he is as a manager. He is setting up teams to be defensive against average opposition, showing little courage to set his team up to get the best / optimum from the players. Neither he is making effective substitutions that impact the game positively. It’s criminal we are not winning games against Fulham, Brentford and Bournemouth.

The difference is Burnley played two strikers every game.

We just twat the ball 90 yards to one striker and don't get bodies around him.
