Apologies - didn't mean to make it seem like you aren't a long time Evertonian - more of just a reminder of our history and how in football, several of our teams have started poorly only to have a good season, and several other teams I've witnessed over the years have been great to start only to finish terribly (Arsenal.....)
Give it some time pal. We have several young players in the squad that still need to mature as well as several new players that need to adapt... and then we will still need to sign a few impact players to fill in holes.
I also think that we don't have near the financial backing the Abramovich gave Chelsea or Sheikh Mansour gave City. To match what City did 5 years ago in spending, it would be 500m pounds in today's transfer market... Moshiri is very wealthy, but not nearly as much as the Sheikh or Abramovich. This is a long term project, so let's all try and show some patience.
*edit* one last thing, let's not forget what Everton stands for. We are a club that values youth and we are not a sacking club. It would be easy to spend a ton of money to bring in a bunch of top name players in their prime and to cycle through managers like Chelsea... Let's not forget who we are.
