Not for the first time this season, Everton supporters were massively let down by this group of players against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night.
Thousands of Blues supporters made the trip down to the capital in the hope that their side could pick up a positive result and move themselves away from danger.
But instead Everton produced yet another woeful away showing. Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, it unfortunately does.
Week after week, season after season, year after year, the same faces continue to show they are simply not good enough to be playing for Everton.
Frank Lampard is seeing first hand himself why Everton find themselves in the position they do.
But as I wrote in this column a couple weeks ago, us supporters are well ahead of Lampard as we have witnessed these players fail on multiple occasions throughout the past couple of years.
The lack of consistency means that good performances like the one against Manchester City are backed up with horror shows like Monday night.

But it is the same old faces who continue to let Everton down. They are not going to change and are certainly not going to get any better.
In fact, I would go as far to say that if anything they are getting worse. The mistakes are getting worse and our decision making continues to baffle me.
I keep on questioning the decision making I see from Everton’s players, but it feels like it is getting worse with each away game.
You need to have leaders and we don’t have any at the minute. Away from home you want to keep things tight, don’t give anything away and frustrate the home fans.
No, we are the opposite. We’ve got full-backs going forward and leaving massive spaces in behind, playing right into how Tottenham want to play.
Seamus Coleman has been fantastic for us, and a top player, but you get to an age, I know this myself, where you need to change your game a little bit.
If you look at Harry Kane last night, he’s coming short for the ball and then sitting in little pockets of space, before picking his moments to run in behind.

He’s managing his own game, doing the right things when he needs to, whereas we have players who are trying to play like they are 21.
At the end of the day, we got overrun and bullied by a Tottenham side who have been guilty of being spineless and weak themselves.
That just shows how poor we are as a team. We have a weak mentality and we are weak physically and that is the most frustrating part.
You can have poor games, you can have bad games, that happens, but time and time again us fans are seeing the same old faces being weak both physically and mentally.
Not one of our players was up for the fight, and there is no excuse for that. It's simply not good enough.
But the only comfort I can take from Monday’s game is that surely it is the end now for a few players at Everton Football Club.
Time and time again, manager after manager, the same players keep on letting the club and the supporters down, and it simply has to change.
No manager in world football could turn these players around and it is a sorry state that we currently find ourselves in.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin following worrying Marcus Rashford trend
I know Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been out injured, and has only recently returned to fitness, but he doesn't seem to be putting in the performances we hoped we would see when he returned.
For some reason, he doesn't seem to be putting himself about like we all know he can. Instead, he seems to be jogging his way through matches.
We saw it with Marcus Rashford during Sunday’s Manchester derby. He got a lot of stick for his performance after coming on as a substitute.
He looked lethargic and just jogged around, and that was what I got from Calvert-Lewin on Monday night.
Granted the service to him wasn’t the best, but there were simple passes to his feet that he couldn't control and get his feet sorted out for.
He also didn’t have an awareness around him about what he was going to do, it was simply all an afterthought.
And when you look at the opposition and see Harry Kane and what he did, what Calvert-Lewin offered was in stark contrast.
It was just all huff and puff - without any huffing or puffing.
Rest in peace, Gordon
I was saddened to hear the passing of our former manager Gordon Lee on Tuesday morning.
Lee became manager of the Blues in 1977, and led the Club to a League Cup final, two FA Cup semi-finals and a pair of top-four finishes during his time at Goodison Park.
And although trophies never arrived at Goodison during his tenure, he did bring to Merseyside one of the club’s best ever centre-forwards in the shape of Graeme Sharp.
Sharp, we all know, went on to enjoy a stellar career with the Blues that saw us crowned league champions twice, FA Cup winners and European Cup Winners Cup winners.
My condolences go out to all Gordon’s friends and family at this sad time.
Rest in peace, Gordon.
