Think this game has shown the absolute disgraceful effort at actually building a functioning team. Yes we are missing plenty of players but they are significantly better versions of the same problems
No pace, no energy, no quality from full back, no competent striker. We addressed little to nothing while spending 100m
Hanging on for a point now
Understand what you’re saying to an extent, but we were a very neglected, patched together squad for multiple seasons.
It was always unlikely to be a quick fix in one window. Some decisions may not work out but it probably requires more perspective than half a season to be be able to assess some of the transfers. Lets see if we can address a couple of issues this window

Just goes to show that Grealish, KDH and Ndiaye a covering A LOT of cracks in this team, although we knew that anyway.
Mykolenko, O'Brien (at fullback), McNeil, Alcaraz and Beto aren't Premier League standard. I'd throw in Tim as well but he played good today.
Hard to see how we're going to score any goals, let alone pick up any points, without KDH or Illi in the team.
Very very poor result.
Agree on most of it, but I think Tim should be getting a bit more slack. He’s been putting in some good performances for a few games now.
Maybe even MoTM today, albeit it was slim pickings.
I think he’s one Moyes has improved and looks PL capable to me now.
Lost 2-0 at Chelsea, lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal, drew 0-0 at Burnley. Can't say I fancy us at Forest on Tuesday. Probably be 4 matches in a row without a goal and 1 point from 12.

No but im not sure what we did address. KDH is it. Its not that we didn't fix everything. Its that most of our signings didn't fix anything
Club need to be getting every Everton media personality onto that handball. Moyes needs to be screaming about is in his press conferences for the next month.
Sick of these decisions going against us and being ignored and forgotten instantly.
I'm fine with it. We spend hours banging on about the squad issues at the start of the season, then we lose 5-6 key players, we're lacking full backs and we start dropping points, of course we do. But ... we're mid table and picked up a decent point away from home with a paper thin squad. Commitment was there, clean sheet, could have won a fairly even game. The predicted leage position people were calling out at the start of the season was mid-table and currently we're 11th.... 3 points away from the European spots.
Shite gane, but I'm happy, looking forward to getting our best players back and kicking on, i'll see if we can pinch top 8 by the end of the season.

How quickly the mood changes.
After Forest we have Brentford scoring for fun and a Wolves team that aren’t going to go the whole season without a win , not beyond the realms of possibility that it’s 2 or 3 from 18 whilst KDH, Illi and Gana out.
