Everton's band of hardy travelling supporters, who followed their team to Reggio Emilia at no little expense, will be feeling short-changed on Friday morning after this abysmal Europa League performance.
Their manager, who spent north of £150m in the summer transfer window, may well be sharing those emotions.
A first-half trio killed this opening, lop-sided group stage clash and added a little pressure on Ronald Koeman, whose side have made what is looking increasingly like a poor start to the season.
Simply put, the Toffees were awful, and rightly slated by those who remained in the stadium at the final whistle.
