Spurs man myself but the brother suppoprts the  blues. A good mate and all his family are mad Everton fans. Always like reminding the fans of Liverpool FC who the traditional Irish/Catholic club on Merseyside is (and it ain't them).

Wouldnt call myself an Everton fan but they are the English team whose results I follow due to a good friend being a supporter. Was down at Goodison for a game a couple of seasons back where they beat Arsenal 1-0, excellent atmosphere. Mon the Blues ;)

Was always an Everton fan as a kid on account of Kevin Sheedy, Graeme Sharpe, Adrian Heath and Big John Bailey. Went to Goodison as a 12 year old to watch them get beaten by Arsenal. Always remember them beating Rapid Vienna in the 1985 Cup winners Cup final. 3-1 if memory serves me correctly. Neville Southall was the best keeper in the world back in those days

Don't particularly follow soccer anymore but always keep an eye out for their results and am a fan of David Moyes.

Last season Everton finished Fifth.Arsenal are still in the Big 4 yet lie in fifth.You will find it is judged on where a team finished the previous season.Hence Everton are in the BIG 5.Thank you.

Thats the main reason why I started supporting Everton,as Kevin Sheedy played with Ireland at the time.I got to visit Goodison for the 1st time last season,I didnt get to see a game there yet but was in Anfield the next day to see Liverpool beat us 1-0.Super experience without the result.Both clubs have a great tradition and relationship in the city and the Irish are very well respected by anybody I spoke to over there.Sure half of them are Irish in some way. David Moyes is a superb manager and will go on to bigger things, of that there is no doubt.I just wish the club could give him the funds to do it with Everton.

Would have a passing interest in Everton as most of my mates growing up were the normal Man U/ Liverpool/Arsenal fans and with me being a bit odd supported Everton, still wouldn't say 'we' when talking about them though.

loved Andy Gray, he'd of kicked his granny to score and Joe pieman Parkinson (career cruelly cut short due to injury), an integral member of the dogs of war midfield with Barry Horne.
Big Dunc scared the bejaysus out of Rio Ferdinand and the odd house breaker.

One of the best moments was Amocachie's late arrival in 95 semi final drubbing of spurs then Paul Rideouts goal in the final, was sitting with mates wearing their Manure livery, just smiled at the final whistle that day.

you see this really winds me up,nothing personel bo,but as you say you havent even been to see them play at goodison and you then go on and refer to them as "us",this has always been a pet hate of mine.

Yo! Mister Bo Jangles... I is here. I heard your call and fell your pain. Remember 1984... Everton 2-0 Watford FA CCup final and Elton John was their chairman and Everton banner  "Well Elton I guess that's why they call us the Blues." I shed a tear that day, with the first trophy since 1970. My favourite player since I started as a blue man over 30 years was Duncan McKensie.... magic. He was something else about 1977.
Mr Bo Jangles this is a very moving moment. I thought I was alone but as Rab C Nesbitt once said, "There is nothing quite like that feeling of meeting some poor b***** as mad as yourself."

Mr Bojangles-it's been a long day. I signed up to this to talk about the Toffees and spent the day trying to wean off the board and getting into other debates. Give us  shout as I am a genuine true blue... and hopeful today will be a 2-0 V Hull. Best day as an Everton fan I think was beating Man U inthe 1995 Cup final. Good old Paul Rideout and of course Neville Southall even tho he alwys wanted to leave the club! was a double whammy winning the cup and seeing UTD lose the final. Worst day you may not remember was repaly against West Ham in 1980 semi-final lost 2-1. I was absolutly gutted and didnt sleep that night. It was on 'Sportsnight with Coleman.' Mick Lyons etc  Lots of memories to relate... but enuff of this for today...

A week later Mr Bojangles and you started this thread that drew me into this GAA Board addiction... where are you now when we need you? big week coming up and no reason the blues can't scupper Liverpool's season with a draw on Monday and a draw and replay win in the cup next week. Any other blue men out there as I would rather reminise to be honest... like 1977 cup semi-final and 2-2 with minutes to go and was listening to it on the radio. Then goal Everton! and punched the radio and broke it... went to the TV and final score 2-2. Hamilton's goal disalowed by that mad ref Clive Thomas for handball. Was clearly his chest. Replay lost 3-0 and never forgave that b*****x. Thankfully Liverpool lost final...
what age are the posters on this board?

We are playing quite well at the moment and we mite sneak a draw tonight.Il be pretty pissed off watching tonight as I was supposed to be at the game before it was changed to Monday nite.Im sure a win will sort me out tho.I think Arteta mite hit one tonight.

Bojangles my main man! My heart it soars like a hawk  :D. It is  a while since I saw 24. I have been a blue man now for over 40 years... sad but true and seen some very lean years in that time.
In February 1968 I saw Everton on The Big Match that used to be on Sunday afternoons with Jimmy the chin etc. They beat WBA 6-2 and I thought I'll follow this team. Then they were in the Cup final and lost to WBA 1-0 a few months later. Jeff Astle scored. He died  a few years ago.. mad whure used to sing at end of Fantasy football.
Anyway roll on to 2202 and I was working in Belfast and had to collect a manager of the company from the airport over from Liverpool. I told him my vague recollections of  game they beat WBA 6-2 and he was at it!!  An emotional moment:  as Rab C Nesbitt once said: "There is nothing quite ike that feeling of meeing some poor b*****d as mad as yurself."
There aren't that many of us. Aye draw tonight will do..  Do you know of any supporters clubs in the north (of Ireland that is!.)

After Monday night's glorious point against the dirties, it's part two on Sunday. Think the fat Spanish waiter will rotate, however, Stevie G and Torres will no doubt play and they are the only 2 players we are worried about. Gerrard is some player. He needs to be watched for the 90 minutes. The first sniff he got on Monday and the ball was in the net. Torres played well, but Jagielka was the best player on the park by a mile. The koppites are quarrelling amongst themselves about whose fault the equaliser was. Riera cutting it out, Benayoun fouling big Victor, the zonal marking and even Lescott blocking Hyppia to free up tiny Tim. I thought the toffees thoroughly deserved their point and if all goes well, we can take them back to Goodison for a replay in the cup. A Torres backlash is what I'm dreading after that sitter he missed, yet on the other hand, a victory is possible if Lucas, Benayoun and the reserve goalie feature and Keano fails to touch the ball more than twice like last time.

Lads no fighting here unless its between Everton and Man Utd fans.Give me Liverpool any day over that Utd shower. I expect another tight game 2mrw and a goal either way may well decide it.im sticking with Arteta in the 90 minutes 15/2

Yo! Mr Bojagles... I'd fight to midnight. I'm on a roll since you enticed me into this site. Two weeks ago said Everton 2 Hull 0 and so it came to pass. Then Monday went draw against Liverpool and what do you know... so draw tomorrow and toffees win the replay. Do you know of supporters clubs in the North I was at a meeting of one 7 years ago in Belfast in a wee pub down the town and they were sound but i felt uneasy re-all different side of the proverbial house. Norn Iron and all that. they had a quiz and near enough knew how many hairs were on Linekars head... unreal

Another comfortable draw against the dirties. Only for a goalkeeping error, think we would have won that game. Our 2 central defenders must surely have impressed Capello, they were both superb. Credit were credits due though, Gerrard was excellent again. The rotund Spanish waiter will have nightmares about zonal defending tonight. I'd be disgusted if I was koppite. That is schoolboy stuff. We need to get 2 or 3 new faces in, Castillo looked shattered after 15 minutes. 2 teenagers introduced as well. As long as we have Arteta and big Fellaini back for the replay, I think we have a great chance.

I dont know of any Everton Supporters club around TBH,not even in Dublin.We are a rare breed I think Fox.
Jags has definitely been immense for us since he signed.We bought him as a defensive midfielder I believe.Moyes has turned him into an International quality Centre half.Cappello has to give him a chance.

The game against United has been confirmed for 5:30pm Sat 31st January. This will clash with the Tyrone game at Croker, but it's a good excuse to get down to Dublin early. Should get to see the first half at least and maybe a bit of the second as well. Fagan's will be lively. United are having an injury crisis at the moment though we rarely cause them many problems.

Great result for our boys tonight. If that had of went to pens, we were out. Gosling is a youngster signed from Plymouth last year, cost us 1.5m and is a good prospect for the future. Thought him and Rodwell both done well when introduced. Koppites can have little complaint. Lucas's 1st yellow was dubious but the pool looked just as knackered as we did. Don't think they'll be that bothered about being knocked out of the cup right enough. For toffees, this is a sweet evening. Glorious in fact.....

Still don't think we'll finish higher than 6th unless the gooners or chelski go into freefall. Villa look strong at the moment.

Havent been on in a while.Was over in Liverpool 2 weeks ago with the Bro, he is a Liverpool fan so we were over for the Chelsea match.We flew in to Manchester Friday morning(half tanked from being out all nite in Dublin)and had a bus bring us to Liverpool.Its only about 40 mins down the road so we enquired about getting tickets for the Everton match on Saturday.We rang Goodison 1st thing Saturday morning and they said they had 2 left so we snapped them up and headed for Lime Street to get the train.We were in with all the Evertonians so it was brilliant to hear all the chanting and the abuse.Pity about the result.A poxy penalty but I thought we did very well.Was delighted to get to see the Toffees again.we did the tour of Goodison the next morning and it was brilliant.So much history associated with Everton, it was great to get a look at some of it.A fantastic weekend in a great city and man the Women are Unreal.we dont know what we are missing over here.
I have a feeling we could be on to something tomorrow,Im going for the Toffees to get revenge for the last league match.

Another 3 points for the blues. Lovely.... Though expected, we made very tough work out of this one. Arteta's loss cost us 2 points at Newcastle last weekend and his absence from midfield today does not bode well for the rest of the season. Big Fellaini is starting to look like a tube again and Jo was woeful for the 2nd game running. Defense is watertight which gives me room for optimism though and Saha scored an absolute peach. This player is undoubtedly a class act and if we can keep him fit until the end of the season, who knows where we'll finish. The gooners are starting to crumble. Liverpool look ripe for a freefall unless they get Torres and Gerrard fit. If United win the micky mouse tomorrow, that uefa spot goes to 6th in the league. Come on United....

What you're saying about Saha is the same thing United fans said for 4 years. Undoubtedly a good player and he'll score goals whenever he's in the team. He just won't stay fit though.

We made hard work of that today but I never doubted them.I knew a semi final spot was on the cards.I also think we are better off getting United in the Semi than in the final.They should still have more present priorities in hand in April.It is gonna be unbelievably tough the way United are playing but who knows.We mite have one or 2 lads back by then hopefully.
I see Moyes and Jagielka got Manager and Player of the month for February.Thoroughly deserved.

Yeah, that first half was as bad as we've played since the start of the season. Hoofing the ball up to Cahill and big Screech, it was far too easy for the boro. Much better thankfully in the second half. Saha again doing well for us. United was the one team I wanted to avoid as Fulham took one hell of a beating yesterday, but I suppose we've done ok against them this season. Hopefully the cup run will keep us hungary in the league as well as there's some very winnable games coming up.

I think Everton can take Utd but would rather a tighter field like Pomeroy. Is mad taking two northern teams away down to Wembley... Villa Park would have made more sense. Must be money reasons. Wouldn't get GAA doing that .. then again!

Big win for the toffees which made up for the abysmal display at the JJB back in November and last week's disgrace at Pompey. Man City must be thinking what the hell's going on with their Brazilian striker Jo as he's banging them in for the blues. In saying that though, the jury's still out. He needs to perform away from Goodison as well. Hopefully, that result'll give us confidence going into next week's big game against Villa. Arsenal look to have 4th sewn up already. What a great weekend's football in general though. As a neutral, I really enjoyed both the Liverpool and United games. Such drama, loved it.

The jury is still out on Jo and Fellaini. Jo is growing in confidence and should improve.The papers today said Fellaini was outstanding but I still think his touch is atrocious.Obvioulsy Moyes is working alot on him though. Revenge on Villa next week and a repeat of the 95 final the week after would do nicely.

Can't believe this thread has existed since January as I think I started a thread last year asking was there any other Toffees on the site and got the usual smart ar*sed replies.

I too am a big Everton fan & have two brothers that support the red sh*te. I know about ten other Everton fans including the Chef in our work who is from Liverpool.
Moyes has works marvels again this season with virtually no strikers for most of the season.

As Timmy says on Toffeeweb.com the success is all based on team spirit & hard work.
I don't rate Jo at all even though he has slotted in quite a few goals in not many games.
Fellaini has got a lot better and composed as the season has went on but he needs to keep his arms down a bit when jumping for headers.

Its hard to say how the big game will go this Sunday but I'm a lot more positive after our performance away to Villa.

I predict Rooney to get sent off after 10 mins and Everton to win 4-0.

Everton 1-0 and Rooney to get sent off or to be carried off on a stretcher.Either would do lovely!

Back late last night from my first trip to Wembley Stadium. The Everton fans were immense. The atmosphere yesterday was like Elland Road for the 95 semi against the yids, which I was also lucky to be at. Tickets for the 95 final were like gold dust and I didn't make it that day, so I'll be surprised if one comes my direction this time, but here's hoping. This falls the day before Tyrone's opener against Armagh, what a mouth watering weekend. Although by no means a classic, to win a penalty shoot out is special and was very impressed with the stadium. Fair play to Jagielka, after missing a pen against Fiorentina last season, that took balls. Chelski will be a tough ask, but I can see us winning it.

Post by: Fuzzman on April 20, 2009, 02:07:21 PM
Great result but like someone said we were crap. We looked nervous and didn't do ourselves justice I thought.
Had we too much respect for Utd or had Moyes told them to play it safe from the start?

I thought two centre halves played well again as did Pienaar. I was worried Microphone head was gonna get sent off but he played quite well I thought.

When Cahill missed the 1st peno I thought, here we go again, terrible penalties but the rest were great. Even Phil Nevilles which had me worried.

How did ye get tickets for that yesterday Mr Nakata. I see the final is on the day before the Tyrone match with Armagh. I'd love to go over & try to get tickets as I've done at lots of other games including the European Championships this summer.

Did ye think it was a penalty that time? If it had been Ferdinand on Cahill I would have been looking for it.

I see Wembley are experiencing similar problems to Croker with the new pitch surface.
Wonder how much we bribed Berby Toff to miss that peno. Spurs must be laughing at the money they got for him & Keano.

Fair play to Moyesy for getting his reward for sticking with us with no money for so long.

Don't suppose there is any chance the Yak will be back next month? Hopefully Saha & Vaughan can stay fit now.
Will it be like 1995 all over again we're we win the FA cup and Tyrone make it to the AI final?

Was surprised at the amount of bluenoses flying back to Dublin last night. There must have been the guts of 100. Supporter's club in Belfast sorted me out for the semi. I don't know what the allocation for the final's going to be though. I imagine the guy's who've been to the most games throughout the season will get priority, deservedly so. But I'll be putting my name down for one in case there's a lottery. I like big Fellaini as a player, but once he got booked yesterday he bottled out of a few ariel challenges. Thought he might've been taken off earlier. United should have got a penalty, that was a stonewall. Pienaar is a class act. At 2 million quid, that's a brilliant bit of business from moyes. We're only 90 minutes away from the holy grail, but Lampard, Drogba and Essien et al will be a different propostion.

Disappointed we didn't win that game tonight. Good penalty shout and 5 other decent chances. Jo's holdup and link play has vastly improved since his first few outings, but put him in a brothel and he will not score. Cahill and Baines magnificent effort after 120 minutes on Sunday. Pienaar lively again but missed a great chance to win it for us. In saying that Drogba crashed one off the crossbar in injury time so all in all a point isn't bad.

Good win at the weekend, though Fulham will probably turn us over this Sunday. Incredibly after receiving 155 tickets for the semi-final the supporters club received none for the final. What a disaster. In saying that even if we did get 50 or so tickets, I would have been well down the pecking order, but it's still depressing. I believe every supporters club are in the same position. Of course I could get cheap flights to London and chance my arm with the touts. 200-300 sheets ought to do it. However, Tyrone are playing Armagh in Clones the following day so It's looking increasingly like a boozer in Belfast for the cup final. Nightmare......

Longrunsthefox,we all know your prediction record and going on last nite your still on form boy-no pressure now but whats gonna be the score?? i could do with a nice lift ;D ;D

I just hope we don't let the occasion get to us. We could cack our pants and get steamrolled by Chelsea, but I have a feeling that we're playing our best football of the season right when at matters. That was the first time we beat Fulham at theirs since 1966 and we all know who won the FA Cup that year, so that's a good omen for us. We gave them a right good tonking last weekend as well. Team selection is fairly much a sure thing. The only decision Moyes needs to make is whether King Louis starts or is sprung from the bench, in which case young Rodwell will get the nod. Really looking forward to it. Toffees playing in blue and toffees to win 1-0.

I have to go with both of you on that prediction 1-0 and if I get it right this time will give up the day job.

On Everton forums, there's real positive feedback about this young Derry center half. He's only 17 I think and all the talk is that he's definitely future first team material. Moyes obviously likes the look of him and hopes he'll play a full season for the reserves or possibly even half a season out on loan.

As for the Naughton debacle, very typical of Everton and their recent pre-season form. The season we were decisive in the market and got our players in at the start of the window, we finished 4th. It's not rocket science. If we get anybody in it'll be a week or so before the kick-off (possibly a day or so) and the integration will be non existent.

I despair, I really do. Though I've still booked my flights and got my ticket for the opener against Arsenal.

Senderos please say it aint so. Probably get over 20M for Joleon but nobody to replace him.Still we'v got Jags and Yobo. Baines on the left and Id be trying Jacobsen alot more on the right.

No. Delph's on his way to Villa. We were linked with him though this last few months. Jacobsen signed for Blackburn as well, they offered him a 2 year deal. Right back and centre-half are of major concern. Jags isn't back until November. If we get Defour from Liege I might be a wee bit happier, but by all accounts the dirties from across the park are interested as well. That would kill me altogether if they got him.

What's you views on the Lescott saga?

As he say's he wants to go, do you think it's right that Moyes keeps saying he's not for sale?

If the player's heart isn't in it, what's the point keeping him? Moyes is probably upset that it's City and that the money will be a factor. I think Lescott lives in Manchester as well.

The fans will go nuts, they'll be on his back. His performances will be impacted. If he has asked to go, he has to go and Moyes needs to get as much moolah as possible. We rely on unity and team spirit as a major factor in why we've been competitive over the last few years.

Lescott has been consistently brilliant for Everton over the last 3 years in 2 different positions, winning player's player of the season 2 years in a row. This will be a massive loss to the toffees if it happens. Dicky didn't dirty his bib at all. He left Goodison with everybody's best wishes. I just think Moyes fancied the other younger guy Onuha.

Martin O'Neill stood firm over Barry last summer and he had a decent season. Then he sold this summer because he was going into his final year of contract. Jagielka is out until November, Lescott has 4 years on his contract. We simply can't let him go. Moyes will make him run the gauntlet on Saturday. I'm heading over myself for the opener. Wonder will the fans give him the treatment. Moyes looks as though he's taking a stance here and will not back down. Player power being exercised 4 days before kick-off. It's an intricate game of brinkmanship. I think Moyes will hold firm.

Replace Hibbert with Neville and put Osman in Midfield.

I sorta admired Moyes for his stance on Lescott. But since Lescott has handed in a transfer request Moyes is now acting like a spoilt child. At the end of the day Lescott wants to leave or else he wouldn't have handed in a transfer request. He felt this was the only way to secure the move to City. City knew this as after the first 2 bids were rejected, what was the point in bidding again and again with bids being rejected unless they knew the player wanted to leave. It's a similar situation to the John Terry transfer saga. City bid for him, Chelsea rejected it. City were waiting on Terry to request a move, but he didn't and he confirmed his intention to stay with Chelsea. Lescott hasn't done this, and if he wants to move, he wants to move. Good deal for both player and club. Not much difference when Moyes broke his 5 year contract with Preston, only 1 year in to it to become Everton manager.

Archie, Man City have acted disgracefully throughout this entire episode. They really are trying to throw their weight about. They have "twisted the head" of our player and the media have lapped up every minute of it, with widespread coverage of his proposed 100 grand a week wages.  They won't take no for an answer. I think he's a brilliant player, though I imagine most supporters of other clubs would consider him average. We have one other fit centre half, with the possibility of Senderos coming in as cover. If he was sold we'd be in the shite big time. There's no way Moyes will sell now. City can go fcuk off. Upson's already angling for the money.

City had Lescott on their list of targets and bid for him. Usually the first bid fails so they went in with a second bid. This also failed. City knew there was no point in bidding if it was going to be rejected. City knew Lescott had to force the issue. Then it was Everton that let the world know that they had rejected 2 offers from City for him. Cue the transfer request from Lescott. Im sure Lescott has been aware of potential interest, but as much rumours doing the rounds you never know what to believe. But when Everton admitted that they had rejected 2 offers for him, this is when they alerted Lescott to have his "head twisted" by the City move.

As you said yourself below, if a player doesn't want to be there, then why keep him.

In the last pre-season game before kick-off, 7 days ago, he played the full 90 minutes, was cheered every touch and the fans were chanting his name at the final whistle. Four days later he hands in a transfer request. My knee jerk reaction was sell him immediately for the highest price. But why give in to the aggression of the bully boys. I think Moyes principled stance today and throughout the last month has reinforced fans belief that keeping the player is the right decision for Everton. Yes, I thought the fans would go mental, give him some serious stick, but now I think they'll get behind him. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

A week is a long time in football. After cheering him etc in this friendly, he came out and handed in a transfer request. I don't think the fans will treat him the same. Maybe not too harsh, but their opinion will have changed of him.

Lescott starts.

According to the lads in the ESPN studio, he went to the ginger one yesterday and told him he was no fit state to play and his head wasn't in it and Moyes starts him anyway. Ive a feeling this isn't going to end pretty with them 2.

I've been going to Goodison Park for 18 years and that yesterday was the worst I can remember. f**king shambolic. Lescott was on a different planet. The Arsenal fans were in their element. Hibbert is a joke, possibly just above pub league standard. Moyes continues to play him. Both centre halfs were shocking, Osman isn't good enough, Jo looked lost. Saha should've got the nod. I along with thousands of other Evertonians stayed to the death and applauded the gooners off the park. They were good, but I've seen them play better. Thank Christ Liverpool is a great town to get drunk in. I had a glorious evening. When you're still skulling peroni at 3:30am things are not too bad. I'm hungover and disillusioned. Pienaar continues to impress. Moyes surely has to take the money and move on. Arteta, Jagielka and the Yak, we need you back, and soon....

Everton are still a decent side (disregarding Saturday), but on the evidence of the first weekend of the league, then they could be one of the real big losers to the recent spending sprees of both  Man City and Spurs. Even with last year's squad fully fit it looks mighty difficult for them to qualify for Europe through the league, and Man City must be hot favorites in the cups given they have no European distractions of their own this season. Mid table obscurity I think for the Toffees this season. They haven't got the cash to spend and even with the Lescott money (which is inevitable) they won't be able to go and buy the kind of quality that will be needed to secure top 6. It's a pity because Moyes has gone about his job very well... I think the money factor will be the key thing and will probably be the reason why Moyes eventually leaves.

The headlines were quite predictable. I am not surprised David feels a bit aggrieved with the situation, you always are when a big club comes along trying to acquire one of your better players

I felt embarrassed for Hughes for calling City a 'big club'.  What have they achieved to be classed as so?  Everton have a far greater right to be classed as a big club.

Moyes, needs to get £20M out of City and quickly get in a decent right back, centre back and holding midfielder. Yobo needs someone beside him telling him what to do as his decision making is and always was terrible. Get Jagielka and Arteta to Lourdes then Fatima ASAP ASAP as Everton are fucked without them.

Utility Phil to play centre half tonight, him or Rodwell. Ominous. Moyes holding out for 25-30m for Lescott, now that will be some deal for us if it comes off. Ludicrous moolah. I see we're being linked to a 9m deal for a Russian winger. Bystrov from Spartak Moscow, flying machine by all accounts. At last some positive news. I think we need about 5 players. Hopefully we'll get the Agrentine from Valencia on loan as well, but these work permit applications are a load of balls. 2 new centre halfs required as well. The manager will have a busy fortnight.

Not true. Sky Sports picked up Hughes wrong in his press conference. He said in the past when deals were dragging on, they were willing to walk away, and will do so again. He didn't say this was the case for the Lescott saga.

Also Saha has come out in support of Lescott and what has happened. He's maybe feeling in same boat after Everton rejected an offer for him from a Turkish club.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Mr. Nakata on August 21, 2009, 01:40:21 PM
I think it's only a matter of time. Moyes is trying to get 4 players in berfore the window shuts. 2 of those would need to be centre halfs. Saha during the summer has said he's happy and determined to stay at Everton and score more goals. Jagielka and Cahill have also come out to defend Lescott in the last few weeks. They realise he's in a messy situation and they are mates afterall.

Good 4-0 win last night. Rodwell is a great prospect. Saha has a full pre-season behind him and it shows. He looks sharp.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Mr. Nakata on August 25, 2009, 01:32:43 PM
24m for Lescott, not bad. A new Russian winger signed this morning for 9m. Argentine loan signing almost in the bag. Yakubu lining out for the reserves tonight. Things are starting to pick up at last. Distin being heavily linked in the Scouse Echo this morning. 5m seems a wee bit steep for a 31 year old, but he is a good centre half. Could do with another for cover as well.
Saha's penalty miss compounded a truly horrific Sunday after Tyrone's massacre at Croker. We need to pick up 3 points at the weekend, badly.

3 points on the board at last. We are severly lacking in confidence though. Yet again, another frustrating summer transfer window. I'm expecting at least 2 more in before the window shuts. Heitinga and one other. Looks as though the Argy will now be staying at Valencia, which is a bummer, as he looks decent.

Pointing a finger at Moyes would do f**k all. Without the man we would have been relegated long ago. Everton need everybody back.Jags,Arteta,Neville,Anichebe,Billy are all big losses.

Very depressing result on Sunday against Birmingham. We've only won 2 home games out of 9 this season. That's relegation material. Away to Sunderland, home to Burnley over the festive season. 4 points at least required from those 2 fixtures. Let's hope Landon Donovan can add something to the attack in the new year.

Well from my last post on the 22nd of December, it appears I was feeling a touch morbid at the way things were going for the toffees. However, bar the FA cup exit, January has been excellent. Big screech is starting to look like a quality midfielder, Cahill is returning to form and the yank Donovan can certainly play. With the red shite up next, I'd be happy with a point if truth be told, even though we're playing well and they aren't, it is a derby and if they show as much enthusiasm as they did against the always spineless yids, a point would be an excellent return. I hope our good form continues and as an optimist, 6th or 7th in the league is about as high as I think we can go. Kenwright needs to get his arse in gear and get the contracts sorted for Pienaar & Saha pronto, as any number of clubs will be after those two come summer time.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: boojangles on February 04, 2010, 09:58:22 PM
Definitely right about signing the contracts for Pienaar and Saha. Pienaar has been some find hasn't he. With the World Cup coming up expect his price tag to soar even more.
I'm still reserving judgement on Screech but he has definitely improved. Good to hear that Donovan and Senderos are available for Europa League. No reason why we can't beat Sporting Lisbon.
To think some people were questioning David Moyes position a while back. The man is without doubt in the Top 3 Managers in the Premiership.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Mr. Nakata on May 10, 2010, 09:18:44 PM
Well I'm glad to see the back of this season, even though we finished with only 2 defeats in our last 24 games, all the damage was done early doors. The disruption caused by the Lescott debacle, the humiliation on the opening day of the season, the injuries to key personnel, around November time I really was starting to think it was back to the dark old days of fighting relegation. With 22 points from the first 19 games and 39 coming from the last 19, it's definitely a case of "what if"? However, I am extremely optimistic for next season. Arteta will be fresh for the start of 2010/11, although the way Spanish midfielders are falling by the wayside, he may yet get his chance with the national team. Unlikely though. Saha has signed a new contract, Cahill is on the verge of signing for 4 years, Bilyaletdinov will surely improve with an entended break after coming to England half way through the Russian season and then playing the whole season with the blues. Before Fellaini got injured he was strating to look like a proper player, bossing games and the holding role suited him perfectly. Johnny Heitinga looked like a clown during the first 3 or 4 games he played in, I thought Moyes had wasted 6m on a buffoon. How wrong I was. He has been immense in a number of different positions and I'm looking forward to watching him in the world cup. Pienaar was player of the season and deservedly so. A player purchased for 2m, if he doesn't sign a new contract I fully expect Everton to make 6 or 7 times that by selling him on as he approaches his last year. I'd be distraught though. He really is a class act. As for future signings, in Moyes we trust. Whatever money is made available has to spent wisely, though realistically, keeping hold of Pienaar and Rodwell is more important at this stage. Overall, I'm glad the all-Ireland series is upon us and hope the red hands can keep my mind occupied through the summer.

1 striker up front at home to Wolves/Newcastle. early days yet but Beckford already looks a gamble that has'nt paid off. New guy Gueye should be given a chance up front, even Baxter maybe.

Last night was a case of peppering the goal without being able to score.

Wouldn't take much to turn it around AGAIN.
Coleman has to come in for Hibbert- come on David, are ya blind??
Saha back from injury although support for him looks weak. Push Cahill back up with him.
Maybe try Heitinga back at centre-half with Jags because Distin is not the answer.
Screech TBH has been a bad signing. He's in his 3rd season and he's still as raw as the day he came IMO. 15m?? Not one of David Moyes best days.

                                Howard

Coleman    Heitinga        Jags              Baines

Moyes has been a revelation as Everton manager and arguably in the top 5 Premiership managers of the last decade. Some of his signings have been unreal and he has turned some good footballers into outstanding ones.
He may have taken Everton as far as they can go but the only reason for that is becasue he does not have the money.Plain and Simple. Nothing to do with being dour or negative.

Post by: Lawrence of Knockbride on September 24, 2010, 08:05:58 PM
I disagree with you on your second point. It's safety first for Moyes as far as I'm concerned. He's never had a winger in his team that I can remember, always square pegs in round holes-Osman,Billy what's his name and Pienaar playing out of position. He even had Arteta out there for a while. The amount of long balls they play takes away from the ability in the midfield and I just think he's negative. With regard to the term "average" what I meant was he's good at spotting players playing below what they're capable of, getting them in and making them better such as the ones you've listed. But much like O'Neill was at Celtic it's impossible to know how he'd manage with players of the next level because of the cash issue.

Well I'm not going to gloat too much. Liverpool are shite at the minute. That is plain to see and koppites will agree with that analysis no doubt. We deserved to win that game today and I thought we won it comfortably. As an Evertonian we all thought this was as good a time as any to square up to the neighbours and the bookies had us as favourites which was fair enough. I was really pleased to see Distin put in an excellent display at the back as he was getting a bit of stick deservedly in fairness for a few patchy performances and the Yak was awesome for the first 55 minutes after which the game was effectively won. Young Coleman looks a player. Still raw but it can only be a matter of time before he gets that first cap. Beers are tasting supremely beautiful. Well done blue boys....

Result a bit disappointing yesterday but league is average enough. If we keep it a bit tighter at the back we will win a lot of games.

Definitely need a striker. Moyes likes to play with 1 up front and with Tim Cahill in form who could argue?

Talk of Hetinga moving to Bayern in Janaury How about insisting on Klose being part of the deal? Would be idela for Engish football.

Duffy needs to be given a bit of a chance. Distin is good some weeks and not so good others.

Take Cahill out of this team and we'd be shit. Saha couldn't score in a brothel. Yak is hit and miss, more often miss and Beckford has to play as part of a strike pair which Moyes won't play. If we get a couple of million for Pienaar in January and 3 or 4 million for Heitinga, it needs to be spent wiseley. Landon Donovan will be welcomed back with open arms for another loan stint although Coleman is holding his own on the right wing. Two home games up next, Bolton and Gooners, 4 points minimum required.

agree with that,but id have to include jags and arteta along with cahill as being our only top quality players. pienaar is nowhere near the same player as last year. russian billy has hardly featured and beckford has been disappointment so far. coleman has been bright spark but our forwards have been useless so far. need a win on wednesday to move up the table again.

One swallow doesn't make a summer, but I certainly enjoyed that game last night. We have the hoodoo over city. Our away form and form against the top teams has been pretty good. It's obvious that when teams come onto us we can hurt them but when we are expected to hump teams like wigan and wolves who sit deep, we can't put them away. Moyes needs to sort that out sooner rather than later. Hopefully, that performance is a turning point. If we get Donovan in for 3 months and a new stricker, we should improve. Home form has been shocking.

Post by: boojangles on December 30, 2010, 01:11:22 PM
Name the four right backs????
Il give you Hibbert, Neville and Coleman. All you have to do is name the other one.

I do agree that our tactics were shit though. West Ham were there for the taking and we didnt capitalise.
Vintage Moyes? Whatever ya think yourself.

I really really really hope that Moyes is looking at the Honey Monster (Richard Dunne). We also need a striker. Not Adebayor or Santa Cruz.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: johnneycool on December 30, 2010, 01:46:19 PM
Moyes has always been very defensively minded, but not to have at least one striker on the park, even if they are misfiring, will not do any of their confidences much good and reeks of playing for a draw against a bottom three team is disappointing.

Certainly a striker is needed, but who and for what money?
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: SHEEDY on December 30, 2010, 08:25:40 PM
really think moyes needs to offload some players to raise funds to strenghten the team. so much for this being our best squad in a generation. i would def look to get some money for pienaar in jan, shouldnt be allowed to leave for nothing in the summer. heitinga [hasnt looked interested this season] saha [while we still might get something for him] the yak [looks like he couldnt hit barn door]. we def need someone up front and another centre half and getting rid of some of the above wouldnt weaken the squad it would hopefully free up funds to get someone in.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Lawrence of Knockbride on December 30, 2010, 10:45:38 PM
Sorry Boojangles meant to type four full-backs.
Vintage Moyes meaning he couldn't send out an attacking team away from home to save his life. He'll be without Cahill for a month odd and his tactics seem involve bringing on two attacking players in the last 5 minutes, including injury time.
He's done all he can IMO and given the reported money he's on I reckon it's time for a change.

Post by: Mr. Nakata on January 06, 2011, 01:03:53 PM
Agreed. After a torrid draw against West Ham and defeat to Stoke, that was desperately needed. Saha was shooting on sight which was great to see. Coleman was rampant on the wing as well. Overall a gutsy performance and well deserved 3 points. We need to follow that up with a win in the cup before the trip across Stanley Park.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: johnneycool on January 06, 2011, 01:08:15 PM
I think I'd go with Anichebe along side Saha rather than Beckford as he's a bit more physical. Neither are prolific in front of goal though.

Hibbert was in his best position last night.

Happy enough with that point yesterday after getting battered in the 1st 45 minutes. We should've been 3-0 down at half time. Torres was rampant. Distin kept letting the ball bounce and was giving the Spaniard acres of space. We were excellent in the second half though. Moyes must have gave the players some ballocking at half time. We need to hold onto Fellaini. He is a colossus. 15m seems like a snip now. It won't be long before Chelski and the rich clubs come knocking. With Yak gone and Pienaar on his way, Moyes better have a couple of players lined up.

I wouldn't be too hopeful of us bringing anyone in.

There seems to be no money available even with the £3m coming for Pienaar.

Only players I have seen linked are Jennings ?? from Tranmere and Eagles from Burnley ( who wasn't bad last year in fairness).

Maybe we can pull off a loan deal or two. Keane would be ideal. Carew even if he is still at odds with Houllier.

There is a young lad in the youth team scoring for fun Hallum Hope I think, may be worth having on the bench for a few games.

No offence but Keane is pish and has been for quite a while now. Everton don't need another striker who converts one in ten chances.
Moyes seems to do rightly prowling the lower leagues and I still think there's hope for Beckford to pick up his game even though he's well into his mid 20's.

We would have been safer with an old head who could go straight into the 1st team.

It is depressing the state of our financial affairs. It is 1 thing having less funds than the so called big 4 but we are worse off than Stoke, Sunderland, Villa etc.

My friends think I'm mad but I honesty think Moyes has all the qualities to manage united but I remember Ferguson saying months ago that he feels a very experienced manager is needed to lead a club like man united, which may indicate that Moyes is too young for the role. I really feel sorry for him at Everton. He looked like a beaten man at the end of the game this evening.

I think we struggle to break teams down especially at Goodison. Moyes likes to be set up defensively and grind out wins.

Disappointing result but not surprising.

Didn't see the game but yet again we didn't seem to create many clear cut chances.

Moyes faces a big test this summer. There is no money to spend and wage bill needs to be reduced.

In hindsight we should have sold Arteta last summer rather than giving him a bigger contract. We were supposedly after Charlie Adam last summer for £3/£4m but that boat has sailed.

Sell: Mucha,Heitinga,Yobo, Yakubu, Vaughan, Billyiatenov and Fellaini ( great player but either him or Rodwell are most saleable assets).

Bring in £30m/£35m and bring down wage bill substantially.

Buy: This is where Moyes will have to earn his corn. There are bargains in the Championship, it is just a matter of finding them.

In midfield Jamie O'Hara or James McCarthy would be a good replacement for Fellaini.

Duffy needs to be given a chance in defence.

See United seem to be in pole postion for Rodwell in the summer.

Supposedly Moyes wanted Wellbeck as part of the deal but Ferguson is offering Brown and cash

So if Rodwell is worth £25m does that mean £24m and Brown?

Id be delighted if we got the colour of that for Jack but Id be shocked if whiskey nose paid near that for him TBH. Fine player and has a bright future wherever he is but 25m is pure speculation.

Great result today and might still catch Liverpool. Form since October is top 4. Last year we lost 2 out of last 23. Could someone trick Everton team into believing league started in June so we could start the season properly.

Brilliant strike by Billyateniv, ne of the best strikers of a ball in the pl, doesnt do it enough.

Leon Osman in great form this last few months, very underrated and if baines is not left back in Pfa team of the year then IO give up.

Agree with that. I was going to buy Osman a month or two back in the FFL as I always thought he was a very tidy player. I wish I had. He has done very well since then!

We need to get Fellaini signed up before the window re-opens. That has to be the top priority. Read somewhere today that Diego Forlan is looking out of Athletico. Now that is a player I would love to see at Goodison Park. 9 or 10 million, surely even Kenwright would sanction that bit of business. Of course there would be a stampede for his services, but a man can dream. Overall, really happy with the form of the team over the last couple of months especially given the injuries to key personnel. Still think United will give us the run around at the weekend, but you never know....

Really wish we could play City every week. The toffees really have become a bogey team for them. That's home and away victories 2 seasons in a row. In saying that City should've been out of sight by half time, we couldn't get a kick. A good old half time team talk seemed to do the trick as we bossed the second half. That's 2 years on the trot now we've kept our best form for the run in. Not good enough. Looking forward to seeing the back of this season and getting some new blood in early doors. Heres hoping.....

Probably a case that there are no other strikers available. Moyes has done an unbelievable job considering the lack of mney. Our form since Christmas is CL form ( as it was lasty year) yet the media largely ignore Everton ( not sexy enough).

Our wage bill is too high though. If we could get shot of Yakubu, Yobo, Bilyatenov and Hetinga and Moyes had £20/£25 m to spend I am confident we could strengthen the team/squad for next season with players from the Championship.

Some good players coming through the youth team also ( who give Liverpool a 4-0 hiding a few weeks ago)

Having seen Fellaini playing first hand on several occasions I have to say that for genuine technique and ability only Arteta comes close in that team at the minute. Perhaps if he stays injury free and Moyes plays him in the position he was bought to fill (Centre midfield) then you might get to see just what he's capable of.

So what about Beckford, will he start putting away the ones he should do as well as the odd spectacular one? He seems to get in decent enough positions.

I'd keep him over Anichebe but you'd still like to see a decent striker come target man for the likes of Saha and Beckford to play off although Moyes doesn't like two up front too much

A right back is a must as I think Hibbert is a liability.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Fuzzman on May 23, 2011, 02:19:54 PM
Yeah its amazing we only ended up 4 points behind the red sh*te and all the money they waste every season.

I can't make my mind up about Beckford. I think he's got huge potential and is a natural goalscorer but he needs good supply and I think he hates having to graft for the team or to be the sole attacker to win headers from long balls.

10 goals isn't bad for his 1st season considering Moyes didn't play him the half the time.
I think he'd be great alongside Saha if he could stay fit for 3 matches in a row.

I fear Fellaini will move in with pressure from his da, knowing he's not gonna win any medals with us. Utd, Shitty & Chelski could all come knocking and even the temptation of higher wages will probably be enough to tempt him away.

I really would love to see the back on Anichebe as he does my head in. For the size and strength of the man he's always falling over and looking for frees & penos. He always looks frustrated and never seems to do the simple thing. I presume the Yak will not return and we'll get peanuts for him. Feed the Yak and he will get fat

Ossie was brutal for the 1st half of the season but yes he turned it around and seemed to be our most creative player this season. I see Pienaar hasn't done that great at Spurs yet. Arteta was crap all year in my eyes and if he had been wearing a Hibbert shirt you'd be calling for his head. Those crap corners he always seems to hit are so poor time & time again.

I hope Coleman can kick on again next season and not do the usual of not fulfil his potential after a great 1st season in the 1st team.

I can't really see us getting back in the Top 4 again unless we get a billionaire which even Moyes isnt sure that would benefit us or him. I suppose if he had millions to spend he'd have a new kind of pressure.

Hopefully Tyrone now can make me have an exciting summer. Haha

Not sure Moyes would be any good with £40/£50m to spend, has signed a few stinkers Billy, Koldrup. Seems to be better bringing in players for £5m or less, players who are hungry, Pienaar,Cahill, Jagielka, Baines etc.

If I had to sell Felliani or Rodwell to raise funds I would keep Rodwell. With £15m from this and selling on of Yobo, Yakubu, Vaughan we could bring in 2/3 quaility players (along with 1 or 2 from the youth team which won the league this year) although worringly I saw us linked with DJ Campbell today ::).

Moyes seems to have a love/hate relationship with Beckford. Seems to miss easy chances and score hard ones. I don't think he will ever be 1st choice but is a good sub/squad player.Certainly looks better value than Torres :D
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: johnneycool on May 24, 2011, 11:00:54 AM
Moyes has a habit of keeping young players on the bench for a good bit, ala Rooney, who'd be used sparingly when everyone else wanted to see him start. I think he did the same with Rodwell this year, maybe to keep the lads feet on the ground after a bit too much hullabaloo the previous year. If he stays I think he'll get a lot more game time next season if he's still there and I hope he is.

DJ Campbell, I always had him down as a kick and run merchant!

Post by: Mr. Nakata on May 24, 2011, 01:24:48 PM
Realistically, if moyes needs to sell to buy, the only players coveted by other clubs would be baines, jagielka, fellaini and rodwell. Out of those 4 I would be devastated at the loss of baines, fellaini or jagielka. If united or city gave us 20m for rodwell I would take it now. This lad has something about him, he definitely has potential but I've seen him many times let entire games pass him by. He's prone to very basic errors, I rememeber one very poor pass to Distin cost us a goal in a crucial Europa game at Goodison. Maybe I'm being harsh, but 20m is big moulah for the toffees. Maybe chicken feed for the top 4 and the dirties, but big dough for us. Fellaini is a class act, pure and simple, he will only get better. Jags is an old fashioned warrior at the back and Baines was the best left back in the league this year.

Arteta/baines/Cahill/beckford/jagielka and howard are the basis on which Moyes has to build everton around.  Even know it is only by wheeling and dealing

Seen that this morning. Klose could have 1-2 good seasons left in him. Ba looked impressive from what I seen of him but may cost too much- wages or transfer fee. Shane Long was outstanding this season but its taking a gamble. But I would love to see him come and make it.

miroslav klose's wage demands would probably rule us out of signing him. moyes will hopefully be able to use the cash from the sales of vaughan and hopefully billy, yobo and the yak to bolster the attack. think we also need a centre half. we were lucky distin and jags stayed relatively fit for the majority of last season.

With Spurs and Juventus in for Klose we couldn't compete in terms of wages. Although he looks good for Germany he hasn;t scored many goals at club level in the past few years. Long would be a gamble but he has the work ethic Moyes likes and could play up front on his own.Craig Bellamy might be a good bet even on a 1 year loan.

We also need a left winger and a right back. Looking at our squad it's not bad. 3 or 4 good additions and we will in and around the top 6 again next year.

could he play Coleman at right back and look out for a right winger.

Agfree need cover for centre of defence.

At the moment he has potential. I think he'll be a superstar in 2 or 3 years. The fact that he can play in midfield or cenrtal defense is a positive, but Evertonians have yet to see the best from him. I think the next 2 seasons will see him grow physically which is crucial in the premier league. The question is will united/chelski/city/yids think he is worth a gamble at 15m at 20 years old when he could be worth double that at 22. I think he'll stay where he is.

The thing I hate about it all is we always have to wait to the end of the window before we get anyone and usually then its just loans or poor bargain basements.

We should get some descent money for Yobo as he's still a good CH but the Yak has a bad lazy attitude and will probably end up coming back to us to mess up our season.

Tough start again alright but its to be expected every year now.
I think Rodwell will stay. I see Cahill thinks the new young 17 year old lad is very good.

We will be lucky to get £6m for these 2 but at least we will get their high wages off the books. Stories about the likes of Klose have no basis in reality as we have not got £60/£70k to spend on wages per week.

We are really aiming for top 6 as we have no hope of breaking top 4. We have a good squad and I would trust Moyes to bring in a few decent free transfers/Championship players (although N'Zogbia would be great). The U18s won the PL acedemy league and the likes of Bidwell, Barkley and Hope could be pushing for places next year.

In Moyes we trust.

Maybe it is time for us to change our motto to "Nothing but the cheapest". I don't know the latin for these.

Quote from: Orangemac on June 18, 2011, 01:09:32 AMWe are really aiming for top 6 as we have no hope of breaking top 4.

In Moyes we trust.
How realistic are your hopes of making 5th or 6th? (Serious question)

In other words, if MU, Chelsea, Man City & Arse are discounted, which of Spurs (5th) or Liverpool (6th) do you think you can displace?

I'm not dismissing Everton's hopes etc, but last season you finished four points behind Liverpool, who had a truly terrible start, but have since "steadied the ship" under Dalglish, and spent bundles on new players etc.

And despite taking four points off Spurs in head-to-head games, you still finished 8 points behind them, which is a very big deficit to make up.

Indeed, if you look over your shoulder, you weren't that far ahead of Fulham (5 pts), Villa (6 pts) and Sunderland (7pts). Seeing as they have made sound managerial changes, and/or are spending big money this Summer, I'd say they'll each be hoping to overtake Everton next season.

You must have missed Evertons start to the season?
We were closer to Liverpool at the end than Fulham were to us after another shocking start. If we had avoided 2 or 3 stupid results against the like of Bolton, West Brom, Wolves last season we would have been up with Spurs.
I agree that we could easily finish 9th or 10th but we could also easily finish 5th if we start well.

No, the point I was making was that due to the Board and managerial upheaval at Anfield, L'pool's dreadful start to the season was exceptional.
Whereas EFC's bad start (Moyes & Kenwright's 9th in tandem) was, er, normal... ;)

Quote from: boojangles on July 07, 2011, 06:00:16 PMWe were closer to Liverpool at the end than Fulham were to us after another shocking start.
Actually, I think you'll find Fulham's start to the season was at least as bad as EFC's.

Quote from: boojangles on July 07, 2011, 06:00:16 PMIf we had avoided 2 or 3 stupid results against the like of Bolton, West Brom, Wolves last season we would have been up with Spurs.
EFC gained 6 points from their six games against WBA (finished 11th), Bolton (14th) and Wolves (17th), which is two more points than Spurs gained from their six games eg against Wigan (16th), Blackpool (19th) and WHU (20th).

In other words, anyone can cherrypick individual results and claim "If only", but in the end, the Table doesn't lie. And eight points is a big deficit to make up on another team, especially when you've taken four points against them in head-to-head games.

Quote from: boojangles on July 07, 2011, 06:00:16 PMI agree that we could easily finish 9th or 10th but we could also easily finish 5th if we start well.
If you start well, finish well and play well in between.

It's possible, but it would require a big improvement over last season, when there is no sign whatever of acquiring the better players which are usually necessary for such an improvement.

Whereas both Liverpool (esp) and Spurs (possibly) are likely to improve their squad over last season.

I've nothing against EFC, they've a fine manager, an honourable Chairman and good support etc. But in the end, the top teams are the ones with the top players, and the top players go to the clubs which pay them the most money. On which point, EFC simply cannot compete.

Therefore unless some of last season's top six suffer a crisis, it seems to me that the very best EFC can hope to achieve is 7th i.e. "Best of the rest".

Post by: Orangemac on July 09, 2011, 10:01:33 AM
Our form since Christmas the last 2 years is top 4 form. If we could make a good start 6th would be possible.

I agree we are probably aiming to be best of the rest again which is not bad considering the amount of money the likes of Villa and Sunderland spend.

Spurs showed serious signs of slippage last season after Christmas and don't seem to have any more money than us to spend this year and dare I say it if Arsenal lose the likes of Nasri and Fabregas are not replaced they could fall out of the top 4.

Not even the fees involved but the likes of Vaughan or Larsson who went to Sunderland on free transfers would have been decent additions, could we not compete for wages for them,particularly if Yakubu & Yobo were offloaded.

And Arsenal thought they had problems. This is frightening stuff. Don't kill us this season! WTF! This came on the radio this evening and I said to my wife what if Everton went out of business. "You could just support someone else".

Something doesn't add up here, We are spending 0 in transfers over the last few years, training ground sold, decent sponsorship, regular top 8 finishes, TV money, average att over 35k and average wages spent in PL terms.

Other clubs can spend more than they earn so why is our debt so much worse?

Everton definitely used up their luck for the whole season yesterday. Getting to 40 points has to be the immediate aim for this season, if we went down it would be a Leeds Utd situation.

Get the feeling this will be Moyes last year, like the boy in Holland with his finger in the dyke (careful now) he has probably had enough at this stage and deserves his chance at a well run club. Where that leaves us I don't know.

3 days to go before the window slams shut. If we can hold onto our best players and get a striker in on loan I'll be happy enough. If we also get a wide man I'll be ecstatic. If we get no striker at all I will be disgusted. The thought of watching Anichebe as a lone striker this season is painful. Add to that Beckford and Saha occasionally. Will we get enough goals? Will we bollix... I have a feeling this season will be horrible.

He was good last year in fairness but he is getting on a bit. Is Heitinga not getting £50k aweek, surely he could fill in or even Rodwell who may suit CB more than midfield.

There is a lad in reserves Hallam Hope who is 18 and has scored goals all levels including England U18s. Maybe Moyes will throw him in, can't be worse than Anichebe.

Hopefully Drenthe will be another Pienaar/Arteta for us. If we can dominate midfield against Liverpool and keep Suarez quiet we could get a result against Liverpool and we always beat City so things are looking up after the gloom all summer.

The Latin influence is bringing diving and cheating more to the fore in the Premiership. Suarez got Rodwell sent off, simple as. He's a superb footballer but he's a cheat.

Joke of a decision all right but it is increasingly hard for Everton to compete. Last week City brought on 2 £20m players who scored, yesterday Liverpool had Bellamy,Gerrard and Henderson. Against teams pushing for top 6 we will compete if things go well for us on the day in terms of referres etc, it is beating the other teams we should be looking at. A top 10 finsih this year after the summer we had would be a decent season.

or whatabout the selective mutterings from a certain 'king kenny' who didnt even want to discuss the incident that handed his team 3pts. didnt see it, didnt have an opinion on it. the same 'king kenny' who wanted a meeting with referee chiefs after they were denied a pen against stoke. funny how fair play only applies when it goes against liverpool.
agree hibberts tackle was bad, fellainis was worth no more than a yellow. as for the throwing stuff, it shouldnt have happened but can understand why it did.

as for andy carroll if thats what 35million gets you, im glad we have no money.

Another poor start to a season but things are definitely more worrying this time. Performances are not that bad, last 3 games v Utd, Chelsea and Newcastle we have more than held our own but lack of goal threat is serious.

Saha can spark the odd time but there is not much else. We have lost Artetas goals from midfield and Tim Cahill has not scored in a year when generally he would chip in with 8/10 goals a season.

On the bright side Rodwell is benefitting from getting a regular run of games and there is talk of Landon Donovan coming back in January.

the lack of money is being blamed for alot of evertons woes but newcastle have no money and they have managed to form a decent team.

Another poor result today but at least we scored. We seem to be conceding goals easily and not creating many chances.

Moyes hands are tied due to lack of funds but he is going to have to look at the strategy of playing 1 up front which has served him so well for so long. This was great when we had Arteta,Pienaar and Tim Cahill weighing in with goals but if you have 5 in midfield you need some of them scoring.

Donavan signing in January will provide a lift and if we could bring in a decent striker we should be ok for a top 10 finish.

See us linked with Donnelly from Cliftonville for £100k, might be worth a gamble.

Moyes seems to be working his magic again, 8 points from the last 4 games isn't bad and Donovan to come back in.

If we could find a 10/15 goal striker from somewhere we could challenge the top 6 yet which would be amazing with the lack of resources Everton have.

RIP Gary Abblett, a solid defender for the toffees playing well over 100 games and winning an FA CUP medal for us in 1995. 46 years old. Very sad.

January transfer window open again. Will Moyes get spending any of the Arteta moolah and any of the 5 or 6 million we're sure to recoup on Bilyletdinov. He bloody better. Good to see Landon Donovan back for another 2 month spell as he was superb last time. Sriker needs to be purchased and a winger. I can foresee another month of inactivity though. Getting used to it now.

Good week for us with this result and a couple of signings. Hopefully Jelavic can bang in a few goals between now and the end of the season.

Big Dennis is limited,even his goal was lucky enough but he's a real trier.

Great tackle by Phil Neville and pass by Donovan for 2nd goal. Donovan has 6 assists since he came on loan in January, pity he could'nt stay.

Now that it's well established that he's fit for the league, what's stopping Everton, or some other PL club, from making a permanent move for Donovan? You'd assume he'd like to give it another proper go in Europe, and he probably has another two or three seasons in him. Is he on huge money in LA or something?

Now that it's well established that he's fit for the league, what's stopping Everton, or some other PL club, from making a permanent move for Donovan? You'd assume he'd like to give it another proper go in Europe, and he probably has another two or three seasons in him. Is he on huge money in LA or something? Transfer fee wouldn't be that much of a stumbling block.
Donovan has godlike status in the MLS and is on a salary next after Beckham, starting with a basic of about £1.5m p/a, then add on other earnings.
Everton could and probably should have signed Keane when he was available for a song.
A transfer fee £3.5m and  similar salary as Donovan would have sealed it.

Steady on there Sheedy. It's been a decent month. Confidence is back and Goodison is becoming a hostile venue again. Just shows if the team give the fans something to shout about, it's a tough ground to go to. Have watched the last 2 games in full. Jury still out on Gibson. He looks a bit lost. He hasn't been playing regularly I suppose but even the basics look beyond him. Hopefully, he'll bed in. Sunderland game should be a cracker. Will deffo go to Wembley for the semi-final if we can beat them.

The players seem to be able to raise their game for the big teams, but then make a hash of beating QPR or the likes especially away from home.

My biggest fear is that the Merseyside derby tomorrow night will be a tetchy affair with numerous sendings off. I will be gutted if we go into Saturday's game missing key players like Fellaini or Heitinga. Remains to be seen what'll happen tomorrow night as form goes out the window.

Frustrating night. Second to every ball and lacking aggression. IMO we should cash in on Rodwell this summer and Fellaini too. For the money we would get we could buy better. I dont care what the papers say, Fellaini gives the ball away far too much for my liking. Rodwell is still young but he isn't making enough happen. Too fond of back passing.
Hopefully we play our first team Saturday.

I never could see anything in Hibbert and last night confirmed that for me.

Does he do anything other than boot the ball as high and far as he can?

Rodwell never burst passed anyone all night, Pineaar had a mare, midfield was very poor and overrun, not one decent ball for any of the forwards to run onto.

Maybe the kick up the arse required for saturday!

Choice to make tonight.

19:30 Live FA Cup Football Sunderland v Everton (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the sixth-round replay at the Stadium of Light, where a semi-final against Liverpool awaits the successful club. The sides drew the original fixture 1-1 at Goodison Park, when Tim Cahill cancelled out Phil Bardsley's opener for the Black Cats. The hosts will be more confident now they are on home soil, but they have not beaten the Toffees in their last 16 attempts. Presented by Adrian Chiles, with commentary by Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend and analysis from Roy Keane and Peter Reid. Subsequent programmes subject to change.

or TV3
19:30 Live UEFA Champions League Benfica v Chelsea (Kick-off 7.45pm). Coverage of the quarter-final first-leg encounter at the Estadio da Luz, where the Portuguese club host the only remaining English team. The Blues produced a stunning comeback to defeat Napoli 5-4 on aggregate in the previous round after losing the opening leg 3-1, but face another stern test in Benfica, who eliminated Zenit St Petersburg to progress to this stage. The hosts have already faced English opposition in this competition, having drawn home and away with Manchester United in the group stage, and they are unlikely to be too daunted at the prospect of facing Roberto di Matteo's men.

Gibson makes a good bit of a difference when he's on.

He's better at picking the long range passes for Cahill, Jelli and Guaye to chase after.

Thought the hounding done by the midfield last night prevented Sunderland from getting going, McClean had very little to work with.

I would have brought Denis on earlier as Jelli was a busted flush after 60 minutes or so.

Unbelievable performance by Everton last night. Should have been 4 or 5. Jelavic was briiliant last night, could have had 3 or 4 goals but ran himself into the ground. Yakubu despite his goals was not doing this and that is probably why he was sold.

Everton might not have the most gifted squad in the PL but I doubt there is a more together or committed group of players in the PL.
It is a pity we could not bring in 2 or 3 quality players in the summer and push on.

Hopefully there will be no injuries before the semi final and we can give Liverpool a good kicking.

Here's hoping Everton take their neighbours to the woodshed.

The contrast between managers is staggering to say the least, Moyes has done more with less than any manager in the league whilst Kenny has done an awful job managing Liverpool, he has spent indecent amounts of money on players that were excellent before they got there and now they are dreadful and half the players they were prior to coming to Anfield.

I was stunned at carrolls act the other day, he could have tapped a ball in as he had rounded the keeper and instead he dives, he responds to the crowd who clearly got in his head and then, when subbed out because he was absolute shite he throws a tantrum and shows up the manager and the club, he is not worth it.

Liverpool have totally lost their way, both on the field of play and in the court of public opinion. To me the buck stops with daglish, he has been absolutely dreadful and they need to replace him as soon as possible because he is a mare!

Moyes has a few big calls to make, two from three in Jagielka, Distin and Heitenga, probably Fellaini and Gibson with Gueye, and Osman wideish and Cahill just off Jelavich.
Has to be Baines and Neville in the two fullback berths for me.

Gibson's game has certainly thrived at Everton.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/apr/13/darron-gibson-everton (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/apr/13/darron-gibson-everton)

"I wouldn't say the manager has been on my case but he has certainly had a few words about how he wants me to play. The football here is a lot different than it was at Manchester United. I was shocked at how hard we worked to be honest. It took me a few games to get used to it. Manchester United have the ball most of the time, don't they? It is different here. We don't have as much of the ball; we are running around a bit more. In recent weeks when we have been getting results we have been pressing teams and working really hard to do it, which is something we didn't do much of at Manchester United. I am probably the fittest I have ever been in my career."

Does he miss United? "No, not really," comes the response.

On the managers

"They are completely different," the midfielder claims. "Moyes is a lot more hands on; he wants to do everything himself whereas the years I was at Manchester United, Sir Alex used to let the coaches do most of the work. He did the team talks and the tactics but, on the training ground, it was the coaches who did the work. Their team talks are completely different too, although I can't explain why. Probably the only similarity is that they are both Scottish and sound the same."

Jags would probably have handled Suarez better. Very disappointed in Cahill today also. Never gave Jelavic any support in 2nd half.

I thought Liverpool were good for most of the second half. And never looked like scoring? According to EC Carroll had the miss of the century just after half time. In fact Everton never really looked like scoring until Jamie Carragher decided to play Leinster Junior League Division 5.

It was a pretty even game overall though, and Everton will be sick alright. I was disappointed (well, disappointed is the wrong word) at Cahill too. He normally gives Liverpool fits.

Almost a carbon copy of Gary Stevens in 86. Sickening as someone said you wouldn't mind getting outplayed.

what a match that was. brilliant to come back from 2 goals down at old trafford.  thought we played today with a bit of freedom that was missing last week. right from the start the players were up for it and credit for that has to go to moyes for lifting them after the semi final disappointment. fellaini and jelavic caused utd all sorts of problems and pienaar showed how valuable he is. the look on fergies face at the end was a priceless.
Unbelievable result today particularly after the disappointment of last week. Jelavic seems like the bargain of the season already. If we can keep the team together, sign up Pienaar and maybe another striker and midfielder the signs are good for next season.

cisse?

Still distraught about how badly we played last week. Don't think I've ever seen a worse half from the blues. Sickening...Showed some great desire today, but that performance only infuriates me more. How can they play with such passion today and with such fear last Saturday lunchtime. I'm still too gutted too enjoy that performance today. I hate football....

It seems Everton don't handle expectation well, probably not used to it in fairness. Yesterday they had nothing to play for and went for it, something Moyes doesn't really do that often. Granted Utd opened up the defence very easily at times.
Nice to see my mate hibbert put in the odd cross rather than boot it as far as he can.

Would like to see more of Drenthe but highly unlikely now that he's blotted his copybook!

Read that this the 1st time a team has scored 4 goals 3 games in a row in Prem league.Jelavic is fastest player to score 10 goals for Everton in a 100 years.Most natural finisher we have had since Tony Cottee.

See we are being linked with Clint Dempsey.Him and Jelavic would make a great partnership. Sign up Pienar and either Landon Donovan or Hoillett from Blackburn and we would have some team for next year.

Talk of Fellaini going to Chelsea for 20 odd million pounds, possibly idle paper gossip, but a big decision for Moyes. I like Fellaini a lot but midfield (with Pienaar back) is probably the strongest sector at Everton at the minute!

4 points from 2 games will leave us above Liverpool for the 1st time in 7 years which would be some acheivement by Moyes considering the amount of money Liverpool have spent.

Amazing day today. Drama at it's best. Well done Everton on a decent season post january. First 5 months we were shite....But I think the Galway koppite has a point. We were robbed at Goodison by a shocking performance by referee Martin Atkinson. Then we gifted the dirties 3 points by putting out a b team at anfield. Finally we bottled it at wembly. I was there and can still scarcely believe what I witnessed. As much as I've enjoyed Pienaar totally transforming our performances and Jelavic banging in over a dozen goals, something doesn't sit right with me. Moyes' record speaks for itself, but he needs to realise that we're better than liverpool....roll on the gaa......

Have great admiration for Everton and how much they over achieve. This statement is nearly a contradiction as they as a club of such history and stature should be finishing in the 7th and higher. But the ways of modern football sees them in the continual cage of being outside the money clubs. Moyles produces miracles after miracles each year. Like their wealthier neighbours, they need a new stadium.

You'd wonder why it wouldn't make sense to have a shared stadium like the San Siro in Milan, both clubs would benefit immeasurably from it.

As for not having money, when you see how Blackburn have went under the stewardship of Venkeys, then sometimes its better the devil you know. Kenright doesn't have the money to scratch himself in premiership terms but he's got the clubs best interests at heart and maybe the best man for a few more years as I can see the big money from Sky beginning to dry up.

It's gas how each set of fans is so eager to jettison the history that comes with Anfield and Goodison Park in the interests of making more money yet also want to spend tens (hundreds?) of millions extra on building and maintaining a separate stadium so that they can maintain the purity of the Volk.

I think alot of it largely boils down to the fact that Everton have absolutely nothing to bring to the table in terms of finance or long term funding to it. Any grounds they have looked at is largely partnerships and handouts. I read recently they don't even have money to build a new club shop at Goodison. Capacity requirements is also a problem.

It annoys me that Groundshare only ever gets mentioned for Liverpool/Everton. Never any other clubs. Also is it not the case that it has proven to be problematic in other countries and that in Italy in particular clubs are trying to get away for the groundshares?

I should also have added, I don't think Liverpool have the funds to build a new one themselves, as the maths just doesn't add up. It is realistically going cost 400m or whatever for 20,000 new seats plus their isn't any value in Anfield in terms of resale nor do they have the corporate market or pricing freedom that other clubs would have.

Whenever people talk about shared stadia etc, they usually point to Italy as an example.

Yet this misses the point, since the thing about italian club stadia is not that they are shared, but that they are (almost) invariably municipally owned. And if a city has two senior clubs, the local Council won't want to build separate stadia, but will instead force them to share. In fact, they sometimes have to share it with an Athletics track, too eg Roma and Lazio in the Stadio Olympico.

Of course, the fact that Italian clubs didn't have to shell out for an expensive stadium and upkeep etc gave them a (short-term) financial advantage over eg their English rivals in past times. But as fans have demanded better/safer facilities and the Marketing guys have learned how to make money from corporate sources (Boxes, catering, hospitality, conferences etc), English clubs have invested billions upgrading or replacing their stadia, whilst (cash-strapped) Italian Councils have failed to invest similarly for Serie A clubs.

In fact, I think I'm right in saying that the only new football-only Serie A stadium built in the last quarter century has been that of Juventus and even then, with a capacity of "just" 41k and a construction cost of "only" €120m, it doesn't sound that special for one of the giants of the world game - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juventus_Stadium.

Meanwhile, their neighbours and former co-tenants Torino are stuck in the (municipal) Stadio Olympico - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadio_Olimpico_di_Torino - which their fans hate.  And prior to these developments, both clubs shared the (municipal) Stadio delle Alpi, which I can tell you from personal experience, was pretty dreadful, hence both teams' desperation to get out of it:
"The poor visibility led to extraordinarily low attendances. For example, in the Coppa Italia home match against Sampdoria in the 2001–02 season, only 237 spectators showed up"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadio_delle_Alpi

In fact, had it not been for the Italian Government pumping cash into new stadia for the 1990 World Cup (and 2006 Winter Olympics), then Italian football stadia would be far behind those of their rivals in England, Spain, Germany etc.

And in any case, if the worst comes to the worst and a club gets into serious financial difficulty, it is much more likely to be rescued by a new investor if it already owns it own stadium outright, than if it rents and/or shares a stadium - see Rangers, for example.

You're quite right about Italy, Bingo (see my previous post)

Quote from: Bingo on May 14, 2012, 09:44:10 AMI should also have added, I don't think Liverpool have the funds to build a new one themselves, as the maths just doesn't add up. It is realistically going cost 400m or whatever for 20,000 new seats plus their isn't any value in Anfield in terms of resale nor do they have the corporate market or pricing freedom that other clubs would have.
And you're correct about the (financially unjustifiable) cost of enlarging Anfield, too.

But Liverpool are between a rock and a hard place, since building a new Stadium elsewhere could cost anything up to £500m, which is a huge amount to gamble on a club which is going nowhere on the pitch at the moment.

As for sharing with Everton, even if each club had, say, £200m (and EFC certainly don't), no owner of either club is going to accept being the minor partner i.e. less than 50% ownership, since the other club could use their majority to drive through changes (rent, renovation, facilities) which suit only it.

And 50:50 ownership would be potentially even worse, since neither club would be in a position to make changes  for its own advantage.

Remember, wealthy investors invariably insist on control over their investment, and a ground-share inevitably dilutes or compromises that. Which is why eg the first thing Spurs did when they decided to replace WHL was to de-list their shares from the Stock Exchange i.e. owner Joe Lewis (or his new investors?) are not prepared to be beholden even to minority shareholders, in the way eg Abramovic is to the Chelsea Pitch Owners.

I think it'd be a good move for both if Cahill went for a few million, hasn't been his best the last year or so!

F365
Reports have suggested Saudi club Al Hilal have made a multi-million pound offer to lure the midfielder to the Middle East, while it is understood Chinese side Guizho Renhe have made an official approach to the 32-year-old.

Last week Cahill turned down turned down a 16 million dollar (£10.3million) three-year deal from an unnamed club in Saudi Arabia.

The midfielder, who played a starring role in Australia's 1-1 draw in their World Cup qualifier against group leaders Japan today, has made no secret of his desire to one day play in the Middle East.

He has two years remaining on his contract at Goodison Park and is happy at the club he joined in 2004 but it is believed he would consider a move overseas.

Yeah, great start for the toffees. Fellaini and Pienaar rampant. Squad still a bit light though. I'd be hopeful of maybe 1 or 2 more players coming in, either purchased or on loan. Any injuries to key men and then we'd be in bother. Would love to see Donovan back again for a 3 month loan in January however was reading somewhere it's not going to happen this time as he wants a complete rest during his off season. I'd expect all the subs and a few youngsters to get a run out against Leyton Orient in the league cup during the week.

Great stuff out of the Everton fans and club itself last night. It's great to see them standing united with the families and victims on that day, and I think the Everton families affected by this tragedy are sometimes forgotten. It's common in Liverpool for families to be split red and blue, so I have no doubt that some of the victims of Hillsborough had people in the ground last night supporting Everton.

Alan Stubbs Family are 50:50 Red and Blue with Stubbs being an Evertonian and his brother a Liverpool fan.

Just watched it on RTE.
Neither of the two were penos IMO (the one they got was one of course) and he was only millimeters offside if at all for the first goal, it certainly wasn't a few yards or clearly offside.

He has really improved alot in the past 2 season. Always had discipline problems though. He is very slick on the ball for such a big player,. One of a mumber of Belgian players who have been standing out this season.
Benteke,Hazard,Vertonghen after a slow star,

Fellani's team mate Kevin Virillas also look's a good player too. Then add in Kompany,Vermaelan etc. Belguim could be a good outside bet for WC 14.

gibson has been playing really well for everton since he signed and is one of the unsung heroes of the side.

his absence from the ireland side is pretty straightforward. he was totally pissed off at not seeing 1 minute of action at the euros despite how shite we were and seeing the likes of paul green getting a game before him.

though i never want to see a player turn their back on their country i think gibsons decision was understandable.cant seeing him gettin much of a look in while trap remains in charge unfortunatly.

Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Main Street on December 24, 2012, 06:07:51 PM
I have no sympathy with Gibson at this (post tournament) stage for not turning up.
Trap gave him plenty of game time when he was shíte and could hardly get into Man u reserves. More often than not, Gibson pulled out due to some strain or other. Trap told him personally and publicly to get away from Man U.
He did work hard to get fit for the Euros and there I would have sympathy with him for not  even getting a subs appearance when clearly he was a class above what was there.
But get over it, better players than Gibson have managed to get over it, Carsley and Dunne at WC 2002, without throwing a hissy fit and whining for months on end, Brady took the insults on the chin and buckled down to get onto Charlton's team of hoofers.
Regardless of Traps tactics, it's a pathetic excuse for a player to snub his country.

Gibson does seem to be injury prone by the looks of it, but at least Fuzzy will be back for the next game.

With Heitinga's agent talking about him wanting to leave due to lack of starts I think Moyes will need a holding midfielder who can pass and tackle in the coming weeks if Johnny does decide to move on.

think moyes wants to see what assurances he can get from the board regarding finances before he commits to another contract. the feeling maybe that he has taken everton as far as he can without getting the funds to take to the next level. he has said he wants to see how the season pans out. wether we can win the fa cup or secure champions league football before he signs.

Hardest team in the draw then and also screwed over by that bald Italian referee who disallowed a perfectly good Dunc header to take it to extra time, or maybe even the win on away goals as it was in Spain.

He is ten times the manager you lot have had in say the last three bucks ye have had in charge.

Moyes develops players, he buys cheap and sells for profit, Everton have a tenth of the resources Liverpool have and yet they have been highly successful in staying competitive in the top flight, Liverpool are all over the shop, have spent very badly for the most part and continue to struggle to finish in the top six let along the top four.

Ah, it's all relative. If you have money it's hard to bring players through as the Big Club fans need a fast fix. (Big) Clubs with lesser money can often get more time to develop players. Continuation is a big thing also at a club. No chopping and changing of Managers means year in year out the players are the Managers players. The hardest thing Moyes has had is to have consistent good seasons. He can put in a good season, but the following is usually horrible. A bit like Newcastle this season after last season. He's done a good job, but in regards silverware or final appearances his reign has been disappointing.

From F365 the Everton wage bill is £58m, £77m less than Liverpools and on a par with West Ham, Fulham and the likes, even Aston Villa have a larger wage bill.

The best players are attracted to big wages as much as CL football, obviously there's a direct correlation to that, but if you consider the wages Everton pay and what type of footballer they can attract because of this then Moyes is doing a pretty good job.

It's progress for Everton when you're disappointed they could only draw with Arsenal at the Emirates.

Coleman is progressing nicely, he and Baines give Everton most of their attacking threat at the minute.

He bought players on the cheap and sold them on for profit, his city rival bought players that were worth a tenth of what they paid for them.

He stabilized the club and helped them become a team that regularly vies for a top six spot.

He did not sign Andrew Carroll.

He has had no racist biters on his team, his players are not known to gnaw on opponents.

He has his team 5 points ahead of his city rivals, and that on a shoestring budget.

he is deemed good enough to leave and go to the perrenial Champions to head them up, the king got whacked by his city rivals because he was a shite manager and a pr nightmare, oh yeah, he paid big money for duds and cost the club millions, Moyes has Everton in the black.  :)

 Good luck to Moyes  at Man Utd , he stabilised us into a top 8 club with feck all money from the debt ridden perenial relgation favourites we were in 2002. I am glad in a way he got the chance to move on because without some major investment I don't think he could take Everton any further. Winning no trophies is a bit of a mark against him but he did come close in the FA cup and qualifying for the champions league and Europa leagues is nothing to sniff at where Eveton came form unless you are a Liverpool supporter with the luck of residing in the imaginary land of "next year is our year in the league"! ;D
I have seen O' Neil , Lennon and Martinez mentioned but I would prefer somebody like Laudrup or Chris Hughton to take over. Whoever gets the job will have a tough time with Baines and Fellani more than likely gone plus the new fair play rules meaning the wage bill will have to be cut to match direct income next season. Also finishing above the pool will be a must for most Everton fans ( throw in West Brom , Swansea , Southampton and Villa fans to that list as well) because it would be a blow to fall behind a team guided by David Brent with an attack spear headed by a Man City/Chelsea reject in Sturridge and the 9 million man made of glass Borini! ;) even if all we hear is "next year is their year" in the league ::)

disappointed but not gutted that moyes is leaving. he done a good job at everton with very little money and turned us from a bottom 6 side to a regular top 6 side. think moyes had realised he had taken everton as far he could and things had gone a bit stale at goodison.

my preference for the new manager would be Michael laudrup. not neil lennon or mark hughes and definetly not phil Neville.

cant believe moyes is being allowed to stay on for the last 2 games. his time is over time to move on.

In my defence Laoislad I am an Everton fan, Liverpool are our city rivals and(for the last couple of seasons) have been neck with us in the league so I think it's not too far fetched for me to throw in the odd dig (hardly an obsession) to the former illustrious Liverpool. Also a lot of you Pool fans are fairly interested in posting on the Everton thread so personally I don't see you grievance. Do you think Man U fans get paranoid when City fans post a few insults on their thread or is there some code of conduct for Arsenal and Spurs fans or Villa and Birmingham fans that us poor peasants across Stanley park haven't been told about.As a plus Pool fans are awful easy to wind up ;D.

So it is to be Lennon for the Toffees. It's a bit of a gamble for Everton and him being a big step up from the comfort of the Scottish league but at least he has shown this season he can mix it against the big boys in the champions league. Also he won't be a stranger to working on a tight budget.

After 11 years of stability we could be back to the dark days again for a couple of years anyway, At this stage I would take a boring mid table finish next season regardless of who takes the job.

The three in bold would want to wind their neck in. Mirallas has alot to prove yet. Piennar should know where his best interests are served after his last misjudgement.Jelavic may just flourish again under a different manager but would many clubs take that risk on him after the second half of the season he's after having.

Probably a bigger shock that Liverpool have six county catholic considering the strong Orange order tradition in setting up the club ;) while Everton's founder George Mahon albeit a Methodist was raised in Ireland so there has always been a link since formation with Ireland and the Toffees. 8)

Don't know why Lennon would even be considering a jump right now. He's pretty much got at least three or four years of uncontested SPLs to win and time to focus on making a little noise in Europe. Very hard to see Everton even maintaining their recent level no matter who they appoint. The bar is set too high for a new manager to make a name for themselves. Lennon is better off staying as the big fish in a medium pond than being lunch for sharks.

Having read the doom and gloom on toffeeweb forum now for months I am not at all surprised to see Moyes go but I am a bit surprised Utd have taken a punt on him. I suppose with Godfather Alex their for assistance, they feel Moyes could grow into the role. To be honest I think he was a great manager for us and made us a much more stable, consistent team every year but I would be worried for Utd that he he tends to be focus more on hard work and be hard to beat rather than go out and play with flair and no fear of losing attitude. Maybe with a better squad that will change

I would agree with Moyes that in my eyes the current team are better than many others that came before us and last year with Jellyfish knocking them in for fun we thought we'd finally got the missing link. However, he has let us down big time and yet again we've won nothing and have to do being pleased with finishing above the red shite (unless we lose this Sunday).

Sadly I really can see this team fall apart now with Fellaini and probably Baines sure to go and maybe even Coleman as well. I can't see us getting any sort of decent manager whatsoever and like Crete said I'd really hate to see Lennon or Hughes.
What about Benitez? He always said he'd like to manage a BIG club and he's already made Liverpool his family home

Hardly a fallacy to state something (while not definitive) that most historical reports and premier league fans surveys/stadium reports point to as being the more likely. What is a fallacy is using a comment by a disgruntled Red fan on a dubious Everton fans forum to back up your point.

Well they do lie especially when they are not put in context and are wrong ;D. On EvertonFc.com the average attendance has hovered between 36000 to 38000 over the last 3 years. Also you conveniently leave out the fact that a sizeable amount of Liverpool match tickets are sold en bloc through the very lucrative overseas fan clubs and the fact that Liverpools overseas fan base is ten times what Everton have. Throw in that every premier league fan survey shows that Everton fans on average travel 42 miles to get to home games whereas Pool fans on average travel 82 miles to get to Anfield which easily supports the claim that more locals follow the Toffees!

Man City would suit Benitez IMO.

On the Martinez thing, I think we'll know more on tuesday night around 10PM irrespective of what Dave Whelan sports says.

TBH, I'd not be that fussed on Martinez, if he's so shít hot, why is he always fighting relegation?

Rafa for Newcastle

Of the favourites I think MacKay would be best for Everton.

I see Slaven Bilic is 40/1 in the betting. No idea what he's doing now, but always thought he'd make a good PL manager. Would be great at Everton I'd say, but presumably at that length of odds its not a runner.

I didn't mean that Evertonians are more inclined to say "next year is our year", I meant that the supposedly constant refrain from Liverpudlians that "next year is our year" exists only in the mind of Evertonians. It's similar to the notion among the Toffees that there are more of them in the city of Liverpool than there are Reds - and whaddya know, there you are repeating that fallacy! As I saw one Red point out on a forum, considering Everton can't fill Goodison Park on a regular basis (http://www.toffeeweb.com/history/records/attendances.asp) it's fair to say there are no more than 35,000 Bluenoses in the city ;)

Hardly a fallacy to state something (while not definitive) that most historical reports and premier league fans surveys/stadium reports point to as being the more likely. What is a fallacy is using a comment by a disgruntled Red fan on a dubious Everton fans forum to back up your point.

I wouldn't have thought it needed to be said, but it was meant as a joke. Having said that, it's about as convincing an observation as these 'surveys' that you mention. If there is a survey that shows that more people in the city of Liverpool support Everton than support Liverpool, I'm sure you would have linked to it.

If you remove the blowins from Ireland and Brits from outside of Merseyside, their support is much closer than you suggest.

Nah, I'm going to run with there being only 35,000 Toffees in the city of Liverpool. The numbers don't lie.

Well they do lie especially when they are not put in context and are wrong ;D. On EvertonFc.com the average attendance has hovered between 36000 to 38000 over the last 3 years. Also you conveniently leave out the fact that a sizeable amount of Liverpool match tickets are sold en bloc through the very lucrative overseas fan clubs and the fact that Liverpools overseas fan base is ten times what Everton have. Throw in that every premier league fan survey shows that Everton fans on average travel 42 miles to get to home games whereas Pool fans on average travel 82 miles to get to Anfield which easily supports the claim that more locals follow the Toffees!

Since when did the city of Liverpool stretch for 42 miles outside from the centre? Maybe when Everton were contemplating moving to Kirkby. All your statistic demonstrates is that, contrary to their self-image, many Evertonians are in fact woolybacks and Taffs.

Post by: Crete Boom on May 13, 2013, 05:43:54 PM
 Well there seems to be a definite list of contenders but which one is best suited to the Job?

- Malky Lackay seems to be the number one choice at the moment and would seem to be a clone of David Moyes circa 2002 in that he is an ex Celtic center half and has gain experience in the championship with a shaky but steady time at Watford followed by a successful period bringing Cardiff to the promised land. Can he step up like Moyes did with expectations being a lot higher than when Moyes took over in 2002?

-Roberto Martinez has just written himself into FA cup history with the win for Wigan and I was impressed that they took the game to City on the deck and not only won but fully deserved the win over the 90 mins. It was no back to the wall situation like 1995 with the dogs of war vs the slick big guns of Utd! Also I like he's belief in high tempo passing game which is good to watch are results in plenty of goals but the main downside is the equal amount of goals conceded as well as scored. He hasn't managed to fashion a stable back four in his time at Wigan but maybe with some better personnel and more money he might be able to do better but that's a big assumption!

-Neil Lennon would again be another Celtic man to come in and would be relatively inexperienced ( of the Premiership anyway) but his key big game experience and success in the champions league would probably negate this. Also a manger who prefers posseion football but I like the way he has tailored it to the limited talent pool available to him compare to Barca/Man utd etc.... He has bought well on a tight budget and picked a couple of gems from left field so provided he can control his fiery temperament he would definitely be a good fit for the Toffees

- And the rest :
- Michael Laudrup , very impressive in winning a cup for Swansea while sticking to their slick Spanish type passing game with an eye for a bargain( Michu) but unlikely to jump ship this year from a team on the rise so I think this all but rules him out.
- Martin O' Neill , a bit like his one time tormentor Cloughie he seemed a bit lost without his right hand man John Robertson and had money issues at Villa who had a much bigger budget than Everton at the time does I think make him a bit of a outsider for this one. Still wouldn't be surprised to see him take and bully his way into a top four finish with the Blues though!
- Rafa , now if I was chairman and was willing to do anything to even the odds of breaking into the top four Rafa would have to be on any shortlist. His football might be painful to watch but he did win a champions league with an average Liverpool team garnered with a couple of top class players. Also he won la liga on a shoestring budget with Valencia adding a Uefa cup as well. The main problem is his style of football and past association with Liverpool still fresh in the mind would make him a very controversial appointment.
- Mark Hughes , God where do I start? After the QPR debacle personally I would have Howard Kendall , El Tel Venables , Howard Wilkinson , Trap etc... all ahead of him!!!!

Vitor Pereira from Porto (The Quiet man's Mourniho)

HE HAS quietly crept up in the betting stakes to become David Moyes' replacement, but the quiet man of Porto could be capable of making a big noise at Goodison.

Vitor Pereira is on the brink of retaining the Portuguese Liga title after a dramatic clash with Benfica on Saturday left his side in pole position to clinch the honours.

And with Pereira's future at Estádio do Dragão, where he is out of contract in the summer, currently shrouded with uncertainty, the bookies reckon he could be a leading candidate to succeed Moyes at Goodison.

The 44-year-old has done well since replacing the Premier League bound Andre Villas Boas in charge at Porto in 2011, and while he shares some of the back-story which has made Villas Boas and Jose Mourinho before him a hit in the Premier League, Pereira does not share their outspoken traits.

In an interview yesterday he described himself as a man who prefers to focus on tactics, and leave the hogging of limelight to others.

"Portuguese people are strategic, with a huge work ethic" he said. "I do not have the talent to speak, in public, as finely as they do.

"Andre is very expressive, but I am different. I am a quiet person.

"I define myself differently: I am a tactical coach. For me, that part of the game is not so important.

"It is not part of my personality."

Everton fans will care more about the footballing style of their next manager than whether he can produce the right soundbites, and when it comes to tactics Pereira says all the right things to whet their appetite.

"I like my teams to have total control, of the ball, of the game," he said.

"I like to see my teams pressing very aggressively, very high up the pitch.

"The important thing is the balance between the attacking and defensive elements, but pressing high is the best way to defend. We have had the best defence in Portugal for the last two years."

Pereira admits he has faced frustration at Porto, where he has had to sell some of the club's stars, but has also had the opportunity to work with top talents like Joao Moutinho and Falcao.

"There are two parts to our job," he said. "One is to find the young players before other clubs do.

"And then the other part is to help develop them. We look in countries where players tend to have creativity in their game, and then the coach's job here is to teach them the tactics, the organisation, that you need to thrive in Europe. The players who move on take most of the credit, but for the coaches it is proof that we are doing our job.

"It is an honour for me to have worked with so many fantastic players. It is a point of pride to see them move on, to a better league, because it is a mark of my work.

"But the problem is that every year the best players are sold; we cannot build a team. Every year, we start again."

If Pereira were asked to help Everton start again in the summer, the fluent English speaker would inherit at least one player he knows well.

Pereira tried to sign Belgian forward Kevin Mirallas from Olympiakos last summer before being beaten to the player's signature by Moyes. After Mirallas shone again during Sunday's win over West Ham, he clearly knows a talent when he sees one.

Those that say they are Everton fans easily match those supporting Liverpool. Much of the additional Liverpool figures are people I meet from Ireland, down South, Lancaster, Yorkshire etc. The folk from the Wirral and Wales are easily evenly split between both clubs, with Tranmere, Wigan, United, Stoke, Blackpool and smaller clubs coming up in conversation too.

That said on match day at Goodison there are no shortage of Irish or Continental accents.

That's fair comment. My experience has been that there are broadly equal numbers of Reds and Blues in Liverpool. The one caveat I'd add is that this is only true past a certain age. Among younger people, Liverpool have a small but increasing majority of the support. Instances of 'mixed' families are on the decline and that is to the detriment of Everton's fan base. All this is, of course, purely anecdotal.

Everton fans weird
28-05-13

A FURIOUS protest over badges suggests Everton fans may not be normal.

The club has unveiled a new shirt badge which experts say is 6.4% different to the old badge.

But supporters insisted the new badge was 'odd', 'clownish' and a 'betrayal of the club's heritage' leading to suggestions that they may be the sort of people who receive daily instructions from their goldfish.

Julian Cook, a badge dispute analyst, said: "To describe the new badge as 'odd' seems... odd.

"There's also significant levels of fury at the absence of the club's Latin motto, which translates as 'nothing but the best is good enough'. Given Everton's recent history, this would seem to be both untrue and redundant.

"Perhaps they could replace it with 'David Moyes is a total fucknut'. In Latin."

Cook added: "Both badges feature the same ugly little tower, both feature the club's founding date and both are the same basic shape. But such is the level of anger that I sense this is not actually about the badge.

"Gary Lineker needs to tell someone to have a word with them."

Yeah I'm delighted he's taking his time and looking outside of England.
Of course it might be far off fields look green but I like the sound of Rangnick.

I read somewhere that Dave Whelan is looking for £2M in compensation should he go to Everton.
How does that work if a manager resigns from his role but then goes to another club.
Does there need to be a definite time between he joins a new club or does he have to buy himself out of his contract when he resigns?

It's kinda weird but I read yesterday that Fellaini is talking of staying now. Maybe its all just talk by him but we could probably do with the money we'd get for selling him. Hopefully if he goes it won't be at the last minute and we've no time to buy any replacements.

There was money in January set aside to buy Fer, so you'd hope that that money is still there, still like to see an out and out striker with pace akin to little pea who plays a bit part at ManU, its the least Moyes could do..

With Distin touching 35, another option at centre back would be good as Heitinga is looking out, thought he was poor last year and Duffy needs a loan to a championship club to get game time IMO.

What qualities to people see in Martinez?
Why do so many of ye think he's a great manager?

He did well this year to get them to win the cup but what else has he done?
He'll definitely have a better squad (at least to start with) than he had at Wigan but he'll need to buy well. We need a decent striker right away (how about Darren Bent or why has he gone down the pecking order recently)
We probably also need another centre back unless Duffy gets more of a chance with Martina

I really hope Mirallas stays as I've enjoyed watching him this year. Yes he gets a lot of injuries but he has great pace and creates loads of chances.

Martinez certainly isn't waiting about like Davey did in the transfer window

He's just clinched a 1 year loan deal for Deulofeu  (http://"http://www.toffeeweb.com/season/13-14/news/25086.html")from Barcelona's B side.
He's described by some as a young raw Ronaldo

He's also signed his old mates Kone, Alcaraz and the young Spanish keeper Joel Robles who played for Wigan in the FA cup final this year and could put major pressure on Howard.

Still no official bids for Affro boy but I'd expect Utd to come in with a higher bid for Baines.

40-45 million wouldn't be unreasonable. 25 for fellaini and 15 at the minimum for baines. spurs would get 60million and Liverpool would tell them to feck off. everton will sell for 30million on the last day of the transfer window and get some guy in on loan.

It was the best mersey derby for years and was very disappointed we couldn't hold on for the long over due win.
Mirallas admitted himself he thought he should have saw a red card but I wonder how much of that was in revenge for last year's tackle by Suaraz on him and also on Distin.

It's a strange league this year with only 4 points between 2nd and 9th.
Deulofeu looks a very exciting young player but typical where he tries to do too much and often his final pass or shot isn't great.

Baines is out for a month or more with suspected broken metatarsal so will be interesting to see does Martinez play Oviedo or move Distin there and use Stones. Hibbert is back fit again as is the new lad Alcaraz.
I'm dleighted with Spurs getting hockeyed by City as I saw them and Liverpool as our main rivals for 4th.

If it were premeditated, then it wasn't rash. Personally I don't think he went out to injure Suarez - that 'Jaimie K' chap is four corners of a bollix - and I would find it very strange that anyone would think it was justifiable if it had been.

A lof of Blues fans think that the Pool's physio made the ref's mind up for him
As he came on to treat him he spoke to the ref and incensed the Everton players.
If he had sent him off then it would have looked like the physio influenced the ref into sending him off.

McCarthy played very well for Everton but rarely gets the plaudits from MOTD or sky etc
Michael Owen was commentating on BT sports and he was so biased it was like listening to Donegal's Highland radio commentators.

Look how high his foot is and where the ball is. In my eyes he knew what he was doing and he was very lucky to get away with it. It's amazing Suaraz doesn't get more bad tackles but maybe some defenders just can't catch him.

great and all that it is, but the good form is reliant on the good form of the loanees. Long term we're not going to be able to sign Lukaka or Deulofeu permanently. Barry would need to consider a pay cut to come, but sure we'll enjoy it while it lasts.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Fuzzman on December 02, 2013, 12:05:03 PM
I was worried by Martinez's appointment at the start but he's come in and showed with 3 months much more optimism and entertaining football than Moyes ever showed us. Moyes would never have clinched this 3 great loanees and yeah they probably won't sign long term but they might extend for another year. Lukaku has 8 goals already and isn't even playing that well. I don't think he'll go back to Chelski but I'd say after the world cup he'll be snapped up for 30m+ by some CL heavy weight.
I think he might the right choice though moving to us though in a world cup season where he knew he'd be a regular starter and would get good supply from Pienaar, Baines, Mirallas & Barkley amongst others.

These loan players have made a huge difference to the season already and allowed Martinez to get off to a good start without having to spend loads. There is a lot of competition this year for the top 4. Look how much money Spurs spent during the summer and they're still only mid table.
Tough 2 games now though away to Manure on Wed and then away to Arsenal.

Martinez needs to go hard early on and unsettle Utd as they're confidence isn't great, allowing them time and possession and hoping to hit on the counter attack won't work IMO.

I think it'll be a 2-2 draw and that'll do nicely, but a win is not beyond them.

Great win and whilst Manu had a good few chances, so did Everton, it wasn't the normal case of holding on for grim death and hoping for a corner or something to score from.

I think Martinez is doing well with the good footballers he inherited, I'll reserve judgement until he's to go and get a replacement for Distin who's touching 35 IIRC. Moyes rarely bought a bad defender apart from the lad who couldn't head the ball from Denmark..

Yeah Distin will need to be replaced  sooner rather than later but I think we already have options with Barry (if he makes his move permanent) , Shane Duffy, Josh Stones and Alcaraz but all of them would be fairly unproven in my eyes. Plenty of good centre backs around though and if next summer is anything like the business we did this summer Roberto will do okay.
I really hope we get McGeady in the Jan window because he will cost a pittance and give us some real pace on the wing we haven' t had in a while to agument Baines and Coleman. We could also do with a viable 10 or 11 goal a season striker to back up Lukaku for the second half of the season as well as I think Jelavic will be heading out the door to Hamburg by the looks of things and Kone will have to have at least 10 thousand chances to score 10 goals in any season!! >:(

Martinez has already done a great job and I have to admit I was a doubter when he first joined.
He seems to really focus on the positives all the time and the main thing he's given the players is the freedom and confidence to go out there and play and not be fearful of making mistakes which many were scared of doing under Moyes.

I think you'll see Alcaraz as Jag's main partner before the season is out and at 31 (same as Jags) he'll probably be here to stay for a while with young Stones his understudy should he get injured again which I fear he might. I'd say a striker will be Roberto's main focus for the January window although he might have to wait until after the World cup to get who he really wants.
Most of the fans on Toffeeweb don't think Duffy will ever make the team as he's a bit slow. I think Stones will be the third choice CH after Distin plays his last game. He's still super fast for his age though and I can see him play most of the season unless he gets hurt. He started 31 league games last year, Baines played all 38. Amazing! I wonder does Baines even want to move to Utd now when he sees them struggling this year. There could be other teams interested in him though.

Arsenal away on Sunday should be interesting but I fear it will be a step to far. We never do that well when we travel to London and I'd say we'll be a bit tired after Wed night's big effort. Hope I'm wrong.

Maybe Martinez could get someone in on a short term deal like Defoe ( I would prefer someone more consistent) who needs game time to impress before the world cup. I fell we could do with a goal getter to come off the bench and deputise for Lukaku should he get injured!

I wouldn't take much notice of what they say on Toffeeweb/Blueroom/Grandoldteam Fuzzman when it comes to Irish players. They were screaming murder when we signed McCarthy for 13m comparing him to Joe Parkinson and John Ebrell , and Coleman was described as a pub player who shouldn't be let anywhere near the team ahead of Hibbert. I think Duffy still has potential and is at least as pacey as Jags (he had a good run at Burnley last season) but he has suffered from a horrendous run of injuries so maybe he has missed his chance! I suppose this season will tell whether he has a future or not but I would trust Martinez to give him a fair go and he is contracted till 2015.

Quite an impressive performance from the entire team, even Jagielka can play a bit of football when needed it seems, with his break up the parc to make a chance for Everton.
I thought Coleman was good yesterday.

The only difference of note is that Arsenal were able to bring on Flamini, Walcott etc, etc and we brought on delafeau, who's a clinker.. and Naismith who is found wanting at this level.

Hang on in there over this month and hopefully pick up a few decent players in the january window and a top 4 is very likely at this rate.

If we can keep our luck with form and injuries we have certainly got one of the easiest Christmas schedules I can ever remember ,
Dec 14 th home v Fulham , 22nd away v Swansea , 26th home v Sunderland , 29th home v Southampton , Jan 1st away v Stoke , Jan 11th Jan home y v Norwich  and Jan 20th away v West Brom before we go to Anfield on the 1st of Feb!!

I see we are being linked with stirkers Matais Suarez and Alfred Finnbogason. I don't know much about them but googling Suarez he seems to be highly rated , have a solid goal scoring record for Anderlecht but be a bit injury prone and Finnbogason had scored 100 goals in 161 apps albeit in the Dutch and lower leagues. Also Martinez must be reading your posts Fuzzman as we are linked with young Dundee center half Jonathan Soutar.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Fuzzman on December 09, 2013, 02:35:54 PM
Watched the game yesterday in the pub with an Arsenal mate and yet again thoroughly enjoyed the experience. El Roberto surely has them playing with NO FEAR and you can see in the first half especially how comfortable they are in possession and bossed Arsenal on their own patch. I think they had over 60% possession in the first half although not that many clear cut chances.
I don't think Lukaku is as sharp as he was when he first started with us but he's still a major goal threat and is a very powerful centre forward.

When Delboy came on I said to my mate watch this talented little wizard and his pace but too often no final product. He sure made me eat my words there thankfully to my mate's disgust. Either team could have won it and probably Arsenal had the better clear cut chances but to go there and put on such a performance is very heartening.

I see there is an option to extend Deulofeu's loan for a second year if Barca don't need him back which would be amazing. He's just one of those very exciting skillful players who has pace and can just spring past players at his ease. Roberto says he's very arrogant in a good way which is what you need to succeed at this level I suppose.
Of course the English medja are raving about Barkley and how he could be there best player at the world cup if he continues to improve.
McCarthy really has become our main engine room midfielder now with so much hard work and tackling. He's not the most creative player on the park but along with Barry they've formed quite a formidable Mf partnership.

I see Wenger was complaining about some GAA tactics being used yesterday. Where Everton pressed them high up the pitch but if they broke through then they would be cynically pulled down by tactical fouling.

I must say I'm enjoying being an Everton fan for the first time since the 80's when I was a bit too young to appreciate the good days. I can't wait until the next game and might even take a spin over for a game in the new year.

Having spent the last year or so bemoaning Tyrone's negative defensive tactics and missing how we used to tear teams open I am glad that my second team are helping to fill the void.
Should we compare Moyes to Mickey Harte. They are some similarities alright but I prefer how Mr Martinez likes to take risks and focus on the positive side of things. He even said at the weekend he'd rather lose playing good football than win playing ugly.

January transfer window sure will determine whether we can push for 4th or not. I think we definitely need a good striker as Kone is out for the season and Jellyfish has completely gone off the boil. Can't believe a few clubs are interested in him.

Loving being a Toffee at the moment, actually being given praise in the media is a bit strange.

Martinez always seems to say the right thing in the press, see he came out with "why should a team that has won the league 9 times not aim for the champions league",saying and doing all the right things at the moment.

No reason with a couple of Jan signings why we can't make top 4, very little between most of the top 6 or 7 teams.

I suppose ye never no in football but it would be nice to be in the top 4 if not even 2nd come Christmas. We've got some reasonable handy home ties and the teams above us have a tougher December schedule
Everton have...
Fulham home
Swansea away
Sunderland home
Southampton home

Should we not lose at home we'll have went the whole year without losing at Goodison.
In 2012 we had gone the whole season unbeaten until the final day where Chelsea won 1-2

Man City have Arsenal and Liverpool at home over the next few weeks
Liverpool are also away to Spurs next and then away to Chelsea on the 29th
Chelsea are away to Arsenal on the 23rd

It sure would be nice to replace Liverpool in the top 4 as they have 3 tough away games and Stevie G is out injured as is Sturridge.

I know it's always dangerous to speculate as football can be so unpredictable but it would be very disappointing to beat Utd away and so so well v Arsenal to then slip up at home to so called lesser sides. Teams could come to Goodison though and park the bus and hope for a 0-0.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Fuzzman on December 16, 2013, 05:14:32 PM
It's tough at the top.

We've beaten Stoke 4-0 at home
We've drew 1-1 away to Arsenal
We've beaten Utd 0-1 away

and now we've beaten Fulham 4-1 at home yet we're still only bloody 5th in the table.
Man City & Liverpool have really upped their performances of late as well.
With City drawing Barca in Europe you would imagine they too will soon have no more mid week games to worry about though Arsenal might also have the same if they lose to Bayern.

Away to Swansea next which has been a good venue for us over the last few years. A lot of talk about McGeady coming to us next year.

not only have our results been impressive the performances have been equally as good. the goals are being shared around which means we aren't as dependant on lukaku and with Swansea away, sunderland home, Southampton home, stoke away and then Norwich home we have the chance to get a decent points tally by the new year. but being a pessimistic blue I reckon we'll probably get 5 draws. ;)

Never mind next season if Lukaku got injured we would be seriously short of strikers. Number 1 priority must be decent striker. number 2 tying down Barkley to a new contract. Exciting the thought of Barkley and McCarthy pairing over the next 5 years.

Yeah with Kone out injured, Jellyfish having lost ALL his confidence and touch and Lukaku looking a little tired or not as sharp as he did when he first came in, I really really hope we sign a decent striker in Jan or have a few lined up for the summer. I think we've enough defenders & maybe another midfielder as I think Gibson is just going to always be an injury prone player.
What strikers would you like to see come in.
I was wondering about someone like Michu or what about Benteke another Belgian though he seems to have got cold this season.

Sounds like there was a major fear factor with all at the club around Moyes. He always kinda looked cross and stressed, even when he was happy. I wonder has he brought that mentality with him to Utd now

Great to see Martinez can relax and have some fun with the players. We mightn't get into the top 4 as competition is tough but by God he has helped us all to enjoy watching football again. I really look forward every weekend now to our matches and record them on sky+ match choice.

totally agree. cant remember the last time I looked forward to every match. Martinez has given everton fans reason to feel proud again. pride not only from the results but also from the performances. should be a good match on sunday against Swansea, two teams who like to pass and keep possession. an away win would set us up nicely for the 2 home games over Christmas.

I see Clint Dempsey is back with Fulham. Would be nice if he played and scored v Man Shitty on Sat.
A draw or a loss there could really help us move up into 4th however I don't know will we be able to beat Swansea as easy as we have other years.
Lukaku is due a goal as is Barkley but I fear a 0-0 or a 1-1.
You'd imagine the Liverpool will beat Cardiff and go top at least until Monday night. Arsenal will need to win then to reclaim top which I don't see then doing but who knows.

I'm looking forward to see how Liverpool do at home to Man City. Hopefully another high scoring game.5-0

I just have that inevitable feeling that we will drop points in one or two of the games in this easy run of games we have before the derby in Anfield and the smart money would be on this game at Swansea but the Toffees couldn't be accused of being any way smart for the last 20 years so we will probably loose to Sunderland at home as well :'( :'(

lukaku has been quiet in the last few games due I feel to lack of service especially from miralles who for some reason doesn't want to pass. at the minute we're getting goals from all over the team which is vital as lukaku goes through a quiet patch.

Yeah I watched the second half yesterday and the way Coleman & McCarthy drive on and show great work ethic and hunger is really great to watch. Coleman especially has took it to another level this year. He's flourishing under Roberto and like our whole new motto NO FEAR, you could see yesterday he took on that shot like a Brazilian full back whereas had Moyes been manager he'd be too scared to f**k it up and get the head eaten aff him.

You could see how much it meant to him by his kicking of the hoarding and he's usually such a quiet shy lad. I was glad to see Barkley score as there has been so much talk and praise for him but besides his opening day screamer v Norwich he's not actually scored since I think.
Mirallas has so much potential and skill and pace yet he seems to be lacking this year. He doesn't seem to be benefiting from the same surge of confidence the others are experiencing. He's definitely feeling the pressure a bit now I think and being greedy and playing for himself and not for the team. Lukaku has certainly gone off the ball I think the last few weeks whereas in Nov everything he touched turned to goal.

I'm off to my local with a red, a gunner and a ManUre fan tonight to watch the Chelsea game. It would be killing two birds with one stone if Arsenal win.
I know I'm being nasty but I hope Oldham take Chewy Suaraz out for the rest of the season as otherwise they're gonna keep winning. The amount of goals he's getting is gonna win the league for them on his own. I've 3 Pool brothers so I can get away with saying that.  ;)
Still no word of who were are looking for to sign but he RS has said a striker and central MF backup

Good, hard working striker, but he wouldn't be cheap. McGeady if we got on the cheap might work out. I think Martinez is getting the maximum out of all his players. Exciting times indeed. 6 points needed over the festive season.

hull had a bid of around 4/5 million for shane long accepted in the summer but the move fell through. mcgeady is out of contract in the summer so wouldnt cost a huge amount. im not the biggest mcgeady fan in the world but I believe he could just do a job for us as a back up for miralles/deufelou/pienaar. 6pts must be the aim over the next 2 games if we want to finish the year in the top4.

Talk of Newcastle or some Italian clubs coming in for him. I really can't see him getting near the Dutch world cup squad at this stage anyway but don't know much about who they have at CB.

Funny, I used to hate watching McGeady but I actually think he could do well for us.

Comfortable home win today. Hopefully Barkley won't be out for too long. We are playing with some confidence at the minute. So we've signed McGeady on a 4.5 year deal. He's clearly carrying a bit of timber and won't be fit for a few weeks. I'd say the russians got a minimal fee to cover the last few months of his contract. Was never that big a fan but Martinez rates him highly. I hope he can get the best out of him. Keane watching at Goodison today. Himself and O'Neill will be regular visitors now...

With Jelavic all but gone now there's an urgent need for a striker. Talk of Oriol Riera from Osauna in Spain or the standard Liege lad Batshuayi. I think McGeady may be slow to get going but I think he will do well with us under a great manager who believes in him. You forget he has played CL football now for a good number of years unlike most of our team

Tuesday night will be interesting, but with the injurys its unsure if the lack of Coleman, Delafeau, etc, etc that chances could be created against a very ropey Liverpool defence.

Would like to see Stones get a start against Suarez and Sturridge to see how far he's come on..

Hopefully this big lad on loan will share the scoring burden for Lukaka who's been off the boil, but allegedly has a good record against Liverpooool..

The Barkley toe injury was put down as 3-5 weeks. Not as serious as the fracture Baines picked up before Christmas where he was out for 5 weeks. I am being very optimistic here, but even if we got a half hour out of him...I live in hope.

Yeah both teams have a lot of injuries but by the sounds of things Everton have more first time players out. From the talk on Toffeeweb even Jags could be out but we won't know until the night.
Am really looking forward to watching it though often they let us down a bagful in such big games.

Mirallas, who I've been slating all year, looks to have finally got his finger out and be working a bit harder. His pace could upset the Red shite back four but I'm more worried about how we handle their S&S. I was looking forward to this game all over Christmas but now that its here and we've so many injuries I'd take a draw.

How do you think McGeady played on Sat?

thon left back Sissoko or whatever he's called is for the taking, hence missing Coleman will be a big loss as he'd tear your man a new one. Countino doesn't offer much cover for him down that wing and its somewhere Everton could target with Pineaar or McGeady if he's more direct and stops phaffing about.

Jags being out is a huge loss, does that leave Stones and Heitenga? That would be a big worry..

Both Liverpool's fullbacks are weak at the moment, regardless who plays. That's Everton's route to success. Also LFC are built on 3 Central midfielders and trying to control the tempo of the game. With injuries to Lucas and Allen, we could be down to a midfield partnership of Gerrard and Henderson, and Everton could have joy there. Everton must be favourites for this game.

looks like we're heading to analfield with a badly depleted squad. hopefully barkley and pienaar will be back but it looks like we could be really understrength in defence with coleman, distin and jakielga all doubtful. a month ago I would have been confident of getting a long overdue win at the home of our lovely neighbours, i'm less confident now. lukaku is due a big game, hopefully its tonight. coyb.

I actually thought everton got very lucky with a few of the refs calls.
he blew sterling up when he was away and it was clearly him being fouled, also gave them a soft one when alberto dispossessed osman and put suarez through.
Dont think they would have got either of those only for the fact they were 4 down already!

Yes that young blonde in the crowd has got a lot of publicity online today. She was one of the few silver linings to last night.

We wuz brutal and what was Roberto thinking of playing with such a high defensive line without Distin and Coleman. Our lack of pace against S&S was suicidal and I worried it could have been more.

But alas I always look for a positive and although there are not many with Lukaku the latest to get injured, I think maybe we should move our focus onto the FA cup and play our strongest team for every game in that. It's been too long since we won a cup and whilst 4th place would be a nice little earner I think we don't realistically have the squad or money to compete in that league just yet.

any slim hope we had of finishing 4th are probably gone after todays undeserved defeat. thought we played well for most of the game and 1 slip of concentration cost us. a lack of striking options is starting to tell especially in tight games like today.

Apart from Lukakus first 2 or 3 mths we have been light up front all season. Another 10/15 goal striker would have saw us seriously push for 4th. Too any games we have dominated without a cutting edge.

Having said that we have still played great football this season and still in with a shout in the fa cup.

Hopefully the summer will see some real investment.

The summer will need to see some proper investment just to sustain the current team as the loanees are a big part of the improvement. Barry would need to take a pay cut, but possible, Lukaka and Delafeau aren't ever going to become permanent although there is talk of Barca loaning Delafeau out for another year.

It would be some laugh and bring back the glory days of the 80's when Merseyside derby's decided where the title was going which makes a nice change from the last couple of decades when the Pool had crap defensive managers and we were just crap (crap managers/players/tactics/owners etc....)

Arsenals run in is pretty straight forward looking, whereas Everton have some biggies albeit at home, but it'd be hard to see points not being dropped against Man City in particular.

To be honest Johnney it would be the Man Utd , Southampton and Hull games I would be more expecting us to drop points in as we have a pretty brilliant record against Man City at home. In the last 8 years we have beaten them 6 times (including when they won the title in 2012) , drawn once and lost once!

An Arsenal win tonight and 4th is gone. Spurs can still catch us...what a nightmare that would be...United can as well if they win their last 3 and we lose both of our remaining two. Our performance against the saints was easily the worst of the season. We have a great record against City and home form has been superb, but City will be chomping at the bit. Interesting indeed.

The plot thickens ... from Soccerway.com:

Council behind new Everton stadium

30 April 2014

Liverpool City Council have again vowed to support Everton with their proposed move to a new stadium.

The Premier League club are planning to leave Goodison Park and play their home games in a 50,000-seater stadium at a site that will also include new homes, education and health facilities.

Walton Hall Park is reportedly the preferred location, but the club have refused to confirm that is the case.

On Tuesday, Everton chief executive Robert Elstone said he has seen "signs" the council, who he described as a "key partner", are supporting the project.

And the body reacted on Wednesday by reiterating that they are behind the project, but are not in a position to pay for it.

A statement from Liverpool City Council read: "Following reports in the media today, we wish to reaffirm our commitment to working with Everton FC in relation to their new stadium proposals.

"As with all large-scale regeneration projects with the potential to create jobs and investment in Liverpool, the city council will look at ways it can support the wider regeneration scheme, but no firm options have been developed in terms of how or where this will take shape.

"This work is ongoing and we will announce the details of the location and support we will be offering once this has been further developed.

"However, we must stress that the city council is clearly not in a position to fund the costs of a new stadium.

"Any investment the council makes would be in a wider regeneration scheme, subject to a sound financial and economic rationale for doing so."

Elstone had spoken on Tuesday of the importance of the council's assistance in seeing the project through.

He said: "The key partner is Liverpool City Council. We're working very closely with them and they're being incredibly supportive.

"The public and private sector mix is important. Support from the public purse whether that's through grants or other forms of subsidy; and whether it's regional, national or European, we have to investigate all possibilities of securing public funding into the project.

"That's one of the reasons why our scheme is so heavily focused on jobs and education and welfare; to essentially support and sustain those sorts of grants and subsidy moneys.

"We'll need commercial partners alongside that to make the whole jigsaw fit together."

If city don't win it now, they don't have any bottle. Guaranteed 5th position for the toffees. Well done lads. Martinez a breath of fresh air.

Good finish for the toffs. Now it's a summer of Gaa and the world cup for a month. Happy days. Roberto has had a great first season. I'm optimistic for the years ahead. We will need to sign Lukaku or someone else who can rattle the onion 16 times. Will 20m be enough? Will he want to sign for us or does he want champions league...It's hard to know what lies ahead, but we'll need plenty of signings that is for sure.

Were any of ye over this year at a game?
I was lucky enough to go to the Arsenal home game with my 2 oldest kids (6 and 5) along with another lad with his 2 kids. Great day all round except Dublin beat Tyrone and we missed out on the league semis

I have to be honest though I was delighted Liverpool didn't win the league despite us playing well v City. They were probably the most entertaining team all year but with 2 brothers Pool fans you will have to excuse my anti Liverpool bias.
If you read the Liverpool forums after the Everton v Man City game they would soon change your mind as well.
Had they won it they probably would have got stronger but now the talk is will Suarez now move to  Madrid or somewhere else? If he does they'll not do as well next year.
Lukaku did well to score 16 goals as is the best striker we've had in years but my God he's got a brutal touch and doesn't like running too much. Unlike Naismith he's not a grafter and I'd be happy if we signed someone like Bony or Remy instead but can't see us having the funds as usual
I think Barkley is totally over-rated and is lucky he is going to the World Cup. He goes missing a lot in games but every so often has that moment of magic like the goal v Man Shitty
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: imtommygunn on May 14, 2014, 04:54:21 PM
Was at the spurs game. It was a poor enough game which should have been won only for Lukaku getting injured( which was kind of his own fault)

Having been at a good few Moyes games(probably 6 or 7) - and I'd have a lot of respect for what Moyes did during his time - I thought the standard of football was a step above what we had previously.  There's a lot more movement, a better standard of passing and the standard of the players in general seems to be that bit better. Mirallis not being so injury prone this year has been a massive bonus.

Lukaku I would agree is very very raw. He scores a lot but there's a lot of ball bounces of him as you say. Still I really hope we can get him.

Barkley is good. He dipped a bit more towards the end of the season. To me he was the reason Chelsea beat us ast Chelsea but he seemed to grow in confidence from the arsenal cup game when he did that great run for the goal. I thought how he picked himself up was a good sign.  IN the spurs game I went to he was a sub and the difference he made to the team was massive. He adds an attacking side very few midfielders do. Still a lot to learn mind you and hopefully doesn't suffer from the english hype bandwagon.

Over the year 5th was about right based on the squad but on the best 11 I think we're top 4. We just don't have the cover. The liverpool game was a blip but exposed that the likes of Alcaraz just isn't cutting it . The contribution of Distin cannot be overstated with the ground he covers. Two or three of those goals against LIverpool just wouldn't have happened with him there. 

Plusses...
Mirallis fitness
Naismith's improvement was fantastic - went from a nobody to a guy who should probably start, or at least play, every game.
Stones , Barkley and Coleman development.
Martinez and his positive attitude.

Minuses
need more cover
we should have beat liverpool the first game.
Martinez was great but against man city and palace he set us up wrong

I think there will be some pressure to sell some players this summer as there will be plenty come in.

It's been a quiet summer on the transfer front with our noisy neighbours spending crazy money again.

It looks like Lukaku is finally coming though  (http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League/Everton/Transfer+News)which I am very relieved at.
Whilst at times he's a lazy sod and he doesn't like the long ball over the top he still manages to get a good goal ratio most seasons and I suppose unless for a disaster we'll end up making money on the guy when he wants to go

This young lad Besic  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhamed_Be%C5%A1i%C4%87)seems a decent player as well having marked Messi very well I believe in the WC. That's him, Barry, McCarthy and Gibson all bought now to replace Fellani. Not bad business. The way we allow our two full backs to bomb forward we need two good defensive MFs to mind the shop.

RM seems to be buying a lot of good young players and not just buying any old player just for the sake of it unlike the red shite  :o

good couple of days! barkley signing a new deal was really important for the club, for the present and the future. haven't seen much of besic but he is supposed to be a real player. the signing of lukaku is a real signal of intent and a real boost for the fans. roll on the new season.

McGeedy needs to get off to a flyer in the PL or a new attacking threat will be needed along with Lukaka, Miralles, Kone if he's fit, the big long Traore lad and Naismith who's a tryer but just lacking that finishing Everton need to suppliment the big lad.

I often read the threads on Toffeeweb and was amazed by the negative reaction after we beat QPR and then the huge positivity and expectation to beat Southampton away just cos they had loads of 1st players out.

At the start of the year I thought to myself and settle for coming top 10 if we can give the Europa a good rattle
We are doing that but if I'm to be totally honest I fear Martinez's honeymoon period is over
He had me in total awe of him last year but he sure is making a lot of strange decisions this year.
Lukaku can be class if given the right type of ball but he's a bit lazy and not good coming short with his back to goal.
Barkley to me can be great but again RM plays him out of position a lot
Baines and Coleman were so exciting last year but are so quiet this year. Injury? Team mark them better? Or RM's tactics

Anyway, 4th place WAS so wide open but with Manure and Spurs getting a decent run of late I think it's another season of trying to finish above the red shite and doing well in Europe. We got a decent draw anyway.

The squad has only got about 3 or 4 good players. Lukaku and Deulofeu are far better than the rest of the squad, Coleman is good, Kone decent enough. Apart from that they don't have any good players.

kone is useless, deulofeu is hot and cold but very promising but to say the likes of mccarthy, barkley, jagielka or baines to name a few arent good players shows a limited football knowledge on your part but then you've already shown that on the liverpool thread.

McCarthy is a waste of space. Risk free sideways passes is all he contributes.

Jagielka isn't much use at all. A journeyman defender.

Baines is useful going forward with his crosses, but he can't defend.

And Barkley is massively overhyped. He can run and shoot but that's about it. He's far too greedy, and has a tendency to put his head down and run into trouble. Not a good footballer at all in my opinion.


Lukaku, Deulofeu and maybe Coleman are the only players worth keeping.

Mccarthy is a great player critical to both ireland and everton.

You have some valid points on barkley mind.

Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: The Stallion on March 13, 2016, 08:15:13 PM
I am of the opinion that he was generally terrible throughout Ireland's qualifying campaign, and indeed for his whole International career to date.

On Lennon, he has pace but nothing else. Awful crosses, you can see Lukaku's understandable frustration with Lennon's delivery. Deulofeu has his weaknesses, but he's a much better player.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: imtommygunn on March 13, 2016, 08:28:00 PM
Mccarthy had not lived up to his club form for quite a while for ireland. In the germany home game he was superb. Really he suits a specific way of playing. Barry and him compliment each other at everton. For ireland whelan does not compliment him. When whelan doesn't play he plays a lot better but he has been very good in qualifying.

Deulofeu isn't worth a start for everton. Once full backs started marking him tightly and nipping at him he didn't want to know. If there was an offensive full back against him he wouldn't track back. He had a massive detrimental impact on coleman too. Lennon's final ball may be poor but he covers coleman and he covers his full back. Deulofeu is worth a sub role but it was noticeable he was going to come on last night just before the goal. Goal was scored and plug was pulled. Why? Because defensively everton would have struggled with coleman more or less double teamer.

Barry, McCarthy and Cleverly are really poor central midfielders, and this is one of the weakest areas in the Everton side. They need to prioritise getting a new keeper, coupleof central midfielders and a centre back. Howard is finished and Stones and Jagielka aren't very good.

You are way off the mark on mccarthy. Barry fits a specific system like everton's very well and has been very good this year. Everton tend to do a lot worse when mccarthy is not on too. They have a ready made quality midfielder in besic. If they played the best midfield quartet they would be ok.

Jagielka isn't fit enough this year with injuries but he is a good defender.

You are closer to the mark on stones and cleverly definitely mind you and have a point on barkley...

It isn't all about opinions. so fck the "fair enough".
A shíte opinion is a shíte opinion. 
If some moron says Scholes was a crap midfielder and the reply is  "it's all about opinions"  as if to give credence to trollism then I say fck the troll, give me an informed opinion.
McCarthy is an ace midfielder for Everton.
McCarthy offers absolutely nothing in possession. He's very good at breaking up the play but Besic showed him up when he played for a few weeks there recently.

McCarthy does the job at Everton he's meant to do, break up the play and give the ball to someone else, remember a lad called Dunga doing the same for Brazil and he ended up lifting the world cup for Brazil and was derided by the english media as useless.
Horses for courses.
Barry is playing very well ATM, I'd have him ahead of Henderson and Joe Allen every day of the week. Besic was going well until his injury and has shown glimpses, having big Yaya in his back pocket of the first leg of the Capital One cup and was sadly missed in the second leg when Everton were overrun..

Lukaka was a bargain at £28M, no doubt considering some of the other donkeys bought for considerably more.

Stones and Barkley have great potential, but in both cases their decision making can be terrible at times, both need to learn about playing for the team and I'm not sure Martinez is the man to bring that to their game.

Squad wise Everton are healthy enough to be pushing for a top 4, just not consistent and defensively frail like all Martinez's teams.

Time to go Martinezz..

McCarthy covers every blade of grass. I think he's a brilliant player. Most Evertonians love him. He does come in for a bit of stick for crab passing and going backwards, looking for the simple pass, but whenever he's out injured our results stink. Can he control a game like Keane did, no chance. He is not that type of player. But the abuse Dunphy fires his way is unbelievable.

A brilliant player whose only noteworthy contribution you mention is running around a lot?

There is no shortage of talentless midfielders who run around a lot without actually doing anything. McCarthy falls into the same category as Milner, Henderson et al.

I haven't been on this thread for ages and I can see The Stallion is back stirring up his hooves.

I laughed out loud when I read his go through the whole team more or less and say everyone was shite except Deulofeu, Lukaku and Seamy.

A lot of people thought Martinez was mad to spend £28M for Rom and look at him now. Most (not all) of RM's buys have been quite successful including Mori, Barry and recently Lennon.
I expected to see a lot more of Geri since Christmas but I have been shocked Bobby hasn't given his fellow countryman more of a run in recent weeks although Lennon has made that decision easier for him perhaps.
Geri though has 8 assists with Barkley next with 7.
At least we've not saw Howard or Kone for a good few weeks now so maybe Mr Stubborn is finally giving up on them too.

Barry has surprised me the most this year as last year I thought he played well at times but on other days he looked slow and a liability. This year he's been immense and his experience is crucial for quite a young team.
I'm also glad to see Jags back into the team but he can be out muscled too easy at times and isn't dominant enough the way Shawcross can be. If you look at our usual back 4 there are too many of them nicey nicey players and no hard men or defenders who take no shit. This is why I believe we often throw away leads or make silly defensive mistakes.

Our home record is a disgrace this year and whilst it has mainly been down to bad defending or lack of concentration you gotta point the finger at RM to some degree. Saying that what is weird is we are in the semi of the FA cup and have yet to concede a goal. Bobby will probably saying getting to 2 cup semifinals isn't a bad season and could be enough to save his job but everyone knows we've underachieved this year when you look at teams like Leicester, Spurs and even West Ham how well they've done
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: The Stallion on March 16, 2016, 08:16:24 PM
Barry and Lennon have been brutal in my opinion. Barry has no pace and all he does is foul players he manages to get close enough to (not many).

Lennon has nothing but pace. Lukaku repeatedly throws his arms up at the appalling service Lennon provides. Deulofeu is much better at creating chances for Lukaku.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: imtommygunn on March 16, 2016, 10:06:50 PM
Barry, according to a lot of media, has been outstanding this year and seems to be a fan favourite too. I know what you mean on lennon but deulofeu was beginning to get bullied very easily and had questionable work rate. He deserves gametime but not 90 minutes and he wasn't even fit enough to last 90 minutes. He still has quite a bit of developing to do.

Incidentally barry playing with mccarthy is infinitely better than without as mccarthy makes up for barry's lack of pave.

It's about system over individual with some players. Barry in a midfield with good cover is a very valuable asset.

No one really rates milner and it's questionable if henderson is top notch too. Gerrard beside alonso = outstanding midfield. Gerrard beside Lampard= not so much.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: The Stallion on March 17, 2016, 06:30:41 AM
Gerrard beside anyone = not very good. Gerrard could rocket a shot into the top corner from 30 yards once every 15 games, but he'd do little else of note, yet still be spoken of as world class lol.

The same thing is happening with the media hyping Barkley. Occasionaly he'll score a good goal, but he'll spend the rest of the game charging head down into trouble and losing possession. He has no awareness and is far too greedy.

You are right to an extent about barkley. I have seen him pass the ball out of play. He will develop if managed right though. Moyes would actually have been the right manager to develop him properly.

Gerrard sadly was very far from being not very good. If you are an everton fan you would have seen that all too many times over the years.

Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Fuzzman on March 21, 2016, 11:41:39 AM
Agreed and I've been slow to change my mind.

I mean to me Martinez has moved us on a level and our expectation is a lot higher now than it was with Moyes.
For years we were scraping and scratching with Moyes & BK buying cheap players and never beating the top 4 clubs.
Martinez changed that mindset to a degree and brought in some good players especially Lukaku. I could never have imagined Moyes taking that risk of spending so much money on a forward worried that it might not work. He was too fearful and negative minded.

Now however we've got the opposite type of manager who is so OTT positive that he believes his own shite talk and can't see when the team are underperforming and need a good kick in the arse.
I think Stones, Barkley, Deulofeu & Lukaku can be great players on their day when things are going well but they need discipline and a manager to be strict with them to both praise them but also give out to them.
All the talk where RM doesn't practise set pieces or sort out their defensive woes just beggars belief really

My patience has wore thin and whilst we could win the FA cup (remarkably not have conceded a goal yet) I think the team lacks leaders and a few hard men to stand up and be counted. Coleman and Barry are probably the only too that really would bust a gut to win at all costs. Even our captain, whilst a decent defender is too soft and easily bullied. Someone like Huth or Shawcross needed to put some fire in the belly. Baines is a complete push over these days and is more worried about his hair by all accounts.

How would I like to see as our new manager? I'm not sure. Its been such a weird season in the league.
How would have thought Raineiri would have made such an impact or did he just get lucky with Mahrez and Vardy doing so well this year. Their defence takes no nonsense and gets the ball forward much faster than we do.
Klopp too is having a strange 1st season with them nearly winning the league cup but having a real Jeykl and Hyde league campaign.
Hopefully with the new owner we can get someone more balanced in to sort us out defensively as I think we have some great attacking players

Don't forget Lescott as well......

Stones will still command big bucks come the summer, but unless Everton get rid of Bobbie and have a good manager in place by the early summer, expect to see an exodus of Lukaku, Stones (who I'd like to see stay) and possibly Coleman, Barkley, Mirallas and Delafeau.

Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: imtommygunn on April 22, 2016, 11:52:36 AM
If anything Stones will have devalued this year though. He got dropped and has had a lot of bad press from fans etc especially due to gesturing them to calm down when he gave a particularly dodgy pass one game - really hasn't warmed people to him and made him look quite cocky.

Rooney, Lescott and Rodwell have been cashed in on but there has been a bit of money wasted too. I have no idea what is going on with this new signing Niasse but all reports are he doesn't even look like a footballer never mind a 13 million pound one.

That squad should be challenging for top four. Teams need to be organised to do well. Everton's stats at set pieces this year on either end of the pitch are about as bad as it gets which begs the question as to why this isn't being drilled into them.

3 matches, 7 points still unbeaten.
Not a bad start to the season going into the international break.
Koeman has made us hard to score against with us only conceding 2 goals so far but scoring them is also proving difficult with Lukaku as our only decent striker.
We really need to buy one or 2 more strikers as Kone and Deulofeu not good enough up front.

Stekelenburg and Gueye seem to be doing very well

Last nights result is probably a very good one in terms of league ambitions.  No Europe to distract and now no league cup either - essentially from now until Jan it is league games only while the rest of the challengers are going to be preparing for midweek games and then a day or two for prem league games.  A strong start can now be built on to the point where come the turn of the year top 4 should be a very real possibility.  Just have to look at how Leicester amassed the points in the first half of last season to put them in the position where they could drive on home in the second half.

there are a LOT of Everton fans.
they just don't appear out of the woodwork very often.
or wear their full kits around the town

The lack of Irish players probably hampered their support levels in the 90s and 00s.
They have a crap stadium, and lack of success in terms of trophies
They are also probably the least commercialised club in the top half of the premier league, and that matters a lot nowadays

Was a great battling performance and I see Roy Keane was there to watch it.
We rode our luck I thought at times but there was a lot of raw passion and hard work.

Interesting that Barry wasn't playing and so our midfield with McCarthy and Gana were a lot mobile and didn't allow Arsenal to settle into their passing game. The players looked completely knackered afterwards and that performance alone will give them great confidence going into the derby next Monday. It's a funny old game

I was always surprised Koeman took to Barry due to his mobility. A major criticism this last few games has been of workrate which you won't be shy of with mcCarthy about. Apparently he is looking to leave which wouldn't be good for everton.

Some goal alright, what was Lukaku at trying to steal at?!
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: johnneycool on January 16, 2017, 08:55:43 AM
Everton seem to have stumbled on a formation that works for them.

Back three of Funes Mori, A Williams and the young lad Holgate, coupled with Baines and Seamy tacking down the wings.

The man/boy of the moment Davis, all action game supplemented the slower legs of Barry yesterday, but you'd see the likes of Gueye being the obvious replacement once he gets back.

Still think Barkley has a bit to do to be a regular further up the park, but was decent yesterday, Lukaku was bothersome and hit the target when the chance arose.

Mighty fortunate not to have conceded the penalty, but Sterlings reputation may have been a factor in the referees mind.

Probably get beat by Palace next day out though!
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Fuzzman on January 16, 2017, 03:52:10 PM
Lukaku was just making sure it was going in but if he wanted to have stolen it he would have connected properly.

Everton are having a rather strange season as Koeman has changed quite a lot about how the team play and our personnel. We had 4 shots on target yesterday and scored all 4. Delighted for the new young lads and was surprised Koeman has changed his mind about playing youngsters.

They have beaten both Arsenal and Man City at home now and drew with ManU and Spurs. They were a bit unlucky to lose to Liverpool yet they have lost away to Burnley, Watford and Bournemouth.
Had they have beaten Hull at the end of December then that win yesterday would have been four in a row.

7th is as good as we can hope for I think as I can't see us catching the 6 above us. There are only 5 points between 2nd and 6th and if Costa leaves any of those top 6 could challenge for the title.
I think we need another scoring midfielder as Mirallas hasn't been doing it so far although he looked lively yesterday.

What a game that was at the weekend!
Just shows what Lukaku is capable of when he's in the right frame of mind and gets good supply.
Saying that Bournemouth tend to play quite open football as Howe is a bit like Martinez in that he likes his teams to play out from the back.

I must say back at the start of December before the Arsenal game I was fearing the worst.
We were playing very poorly and not scoring any goals apart from Rom but with the 3 at the back, Coleman seems to getting forward much more and creating and scoring chances.
Then to get knocked out of both cups so early it was as if the season was over with nothing to play for. However, if Utd win the league cup and they or someone else from the top 6 wins the FA cup then 7th place will be good enough to get into Europe again like last season.

We're top of the current form table along with Spurs with 14 points from 18, having scored 17 goals and conceded 6. Lookman seems to be a great little player with such great skill and pace. A lot better than Deulofeu in my opinion and I think he'll score more goals as well.
Only 6 points behind Liverpool now who are in freefall at the moment which as a blue with red brothers is great to see ;-)

I'm not sure about Williams and Mori though as I think they still make too many mistakes. Kone had a great game for Everton reserves, sorry Sunderland at the weekend and I wonder will we be back in for him again or Keane from Burnley. No doubt the big clubs will be watching Lukaku very closely and be tempted to make another offer.
I think he will go at some stage but the question is when. He knows he's always gonna be the top dog with Everton whereas at Chelsea or another big club he'll be under a lot more pressure to perform and work harder.

The funding sounds complicated but it certainly looks like it's going to happen.
Hopefully we continue to improve on the field as well and are fighting to be in the top 4 with the big boys again.
It sounds like Moshiri's is a shrewd businessman.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Everton have taken a huge step towards leaving Goodison Park after 125 years with the news that the club have a land-purchase agreement with Peel Group for Bramley-Moore Dock.

Additionally, a funding mechanism has been worked out with Liverpool Council whereby Everton will fully fund the stadium but with LCC as guarantors of the required loans for the estimated £300m project which would potentially see the Blues kicking off in their new ground in 2021.

The news comes following days of mounting speculation that today would be the day that confirmation of a successful agreement for the potentially iconic waterfront site for a new stadium being struck. Everton's stadium at Bramley-Moore would form part of Peels' £5bn Liverpool Waters regeneration scheme which promises to transform the waterfront along Regent Road north of Prince's Dock while the LCC-backed Ten Streets initiative hopes to regenerate the derelict section along Great Howard immediately to the east.

Everton are believed to have negotiated a price of around £22.5m for the site on Liverpool's north docks with commencement of construction dependent on planning permission, the application for which will be submitted either later this year or early in 2018, and the funding being in place. The club's business plan provides for them staying at Goodison until the end of the 2020-21 season.

A full announcement from the Council via the LiverpoolExpress website outlined the creation of a "special purpose vehicle" whereby LCC would guarantee the loans, receive a security fee (reported to be around £4m a year) for its trouble and take out a 40-year lease on the site from the funder that they would then sub-lease to Everton. The club could then have the option of acquiring a leasehold interest in the stadium.

The arrangement does not involve any capital from the council but it allows Everton to secure funding for the project from a wider spectrum of lenders and most likely at significantly lower interest rates than if they were to go it alone as a higher-risk entity. The initial cost analysis is based on a 50,000-capacity stadium but Blues CEO Robert Elstone insists the final details have yet to be decided and that supporters will be included in a full consultation.

koeman having a real dig at martin o'neill in the press conference today...

Angry Ronald Koeman Turns Up To Press Conference With Statement Criticising Martin O'Neill

All last week in the build-up to Ireland's World Cup qualifier against Wales, the expectation was that James McCarthy would not be available for the game.

Roy Keane said on the Tuesday before the game that the midfielder was highly doubtful for the encounter. So, it was surprising to see him in Ireland's initial starting line-up for the match.

McCarthy would suffer a recurrence of a hamstring injury in the warm-up and be replaced in the starting team by David Meyler.

Over recent times, the relationship between Ireland management and that of McCarthy's club Everton has undoubtedly been rancorous. Various barbs have been thrown back and forth between Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane and Ronald Koeman.

That continued on Friday when Koeman read out a pre-prepared statement during a press conference ahead of Saturday afternoon's Merseyside derby.

ADVERTISING

Already today there had been reports that Irish management called 'total rubbish' suggestions by Koeman that they had ignored the advice of their own medical team by naming McCarthy in the starting line for the game against Wales.

Koeman was not letting that line go though as he claimed O'Neill and Co. had failed to protect the player.

James had an injury when he reported for Ireland duty last week. Our medical team made the Ireland medical team aware of this of course.

Everton's medical team advised extreme caution, not only due to the current injury but to the previous injuries too. The assessment by the Ireland medical team was that it would be a high risk for James to play against Wales.

But James, of course, is strong and decided to play for his country. So when asked if he was fit to play he said he felt he was fit and he was selected to start the game by the Ireland manager who in my opinion in this instance was not protecting the player.

Clearly, James was not fit to play. He had trained only for two days with Ireland and he broke down during the warming up.

All these circumstances – he played only one game from the start in 2017 and he did not play for three weeks before the Wales game – mean in my opinion he would need one full week of training sessions with the team to be declared fit.

I spoke to James and told him 'you need to take responsibility of this'.
Koeman went on to say that further conversations between him and McCarthy were private and that the club, rather than him personally, would be involved in any discussions with the FAI.

A fully fit james mccarthy would definitely have started the merseyside derby tomorrow especially with morgan schneiderlin being out injured. a fit james mccarthy has always done a good job for everton, unfortunately he's spent too much time on the treatment table. Thats why I think he might move on in the summer.
Scheiderlin, coleman, funes mori and mccarthy are big misses for tomorrow and for the rest of the season.

Would he start but for schneiderlin injury though?

In the last derby everton were well on top until he had to go off to be fair. He has moved to cover now but would do a good job at a premier league club.

Worried gareth barry will start now. Pace could be an issue as jagielka has to play too and has slowed this year.

the sun newspaper really is just scum. who buys this shit...


Merseyside Police are investigating allegations that a newspaper article about Everton midfielder Ross Barkley constitutes a "racial hate crime".

Barkley, 23, was punched in a Liverpool bar last weekend in what his lawyer described as an "unprovoked attack".

In an article on Friday, Sun columnist Kelvin MacKenzie compared Barkley - who has a grandfather born in Nigeria - to a "gorilla at the zoo".

Police confirmed they were investigating the "full circumstances".

MacKenzie targeted both England international Barkley and the city of Liverpool in the article - which has since been taken off The Sun website - saying:

Barkley is "one of our dimmest footballers", also calling him "thick".
His eyes make him "certain not only are the lights not on, there is definitely nobody at home", adding: "I get a similar feeling when seeing a gorilla at the zoo."
Men with similar "pay packets" in Liverpool are "drug dealers" and in prison.
Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson told BBC Sport he reported the article to the police for a "racial slur".

Speaking to BBC Sport, Anderson said: "Not only is it racist in a sense that he is of mixed-race descent, equally it's a racial stereotype of Liverpool. It is racist and prehistoric."

Anderson later tweeted to say he had reported the article to Merseyside Police and the Independent Press Standards Organisation.

Alongside the article, The Sun published adjoining pictures of Barkley and a gorilla on their website with the caption "Could Everton's Ross Barkley represent the missing link between man and beast?" The picture was later removed.

MacKenzie was editor of The Sun when it published a front-page article headlined 'Hillsborough: The Truth' in the aftermath of the 1989 disaster at Sheffield Wednesday's football stadium.

The article claimed Liverpool fans were to blame for the tragedy, in which 96 people died. MacKenzie apologised in 2012.

Last year's landmark Hillsborough inquests recorded that the 96 fans were unlawfully killed and that Liverpool supporters at the FA Cup semi-final had played no role in causing the tragedy.

This Saturday, 15 April, marks the 28th anniversary of the disaster.

Burnley midfielder Joey Barton, who was an Everton youth player, tweeted: "Those comments about Ross Barkley, a young working-class lad, are disgusting. Then add in the fact he is mixed race! It becomes outrageous."

Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore tweeted: "Implied racism at its finest."

A Sun spokesperson said: "Columnists are supposed to have strong opinions that provoke debate among the readers. However their views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper."

Football's equality and inclusion organisation Kick It Out said they had received complaints about the "insulting and offensive" comments.

"We will be contacting Everton and the PFA about their responses in providing support to Ross and his family," they said.

BBC Sport has contacted Everton and Barkley's representatives for comment.

I don't think McKenzie meant to be racist, although his constant jibes at Liverpool and it's inhabitants says more about the odious p***k that he is.
It's time the PFA stood up for it's members and canvas it's members to not give interviews to the Sun and it now should be a given that Everton ban them as well.

excellent news. well done Everton.


Everton have banned the Sun "from all areas of its operation" after the newspaper published "appalling and indefensible" allegations about Ross Barkley and the people of Liverpool.

The article, written by columnist Kelvin MacKenzie, appeared on Friday.

MacKenzie was suspended after comparing the midfielder, whose grandfather was born in Nigeria, to a "gorilla".

He also wrote that men with similar "pay packets" to Barkley in Liverpool were "drug dealers".

Everton said in a statement: "The newspaper has to know that any attack on this City, either against a much respected community or individual, is not acceptable."

Merseyside Police are investigating whether MacKenzie's comments constitute a "racial hate crime".

The Sun apologised "for the offence caused" and added that it was "unaware of Barkley's heritage".

In a statement of his own, MacKenzie reiterated the latter sentiment, adding that it was "beyond parody" to describe the column as "racist".

In February, Liverpool banned Sun journalists from its grounds over the newspaper's coverage of the Hillsborough disaster.

This Saturday, 15 April, marks the 28th anniversary of the disaster.

'The people's club have listened to the people'

Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson had led calls for Everton to ban the newspaper and he spoke with Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright on Saturday.

"Today of all days it's good news, " Anderson told BBC Sport. "We at Everton have always been proud of the fact that we have supported Liverpool FC and their fans through this.

"Everton prides itself on being called the people's club, they have listened to the people and I am delighted with how they have reacted. All credit to Bill Kenwright, he spoke to me this morning and understood that people had strong feelings on it."

Anderson had called for fans to protest at today's Premier League game at Goodison Park against Burnley.

But he now says that is not necessary, adding: "Everton have responded in a positive way. We will today remember and pray for those who lost their lives in the Hillsborough disaster."

Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore tweeted: "As we always knew. The People's Club. Nil Satis, Nisi Optimum. Thank you Everton, thank you."

Fwiw, you don't need to prove racist intent in a questionable racist statement in order for that statement to be judged racist.
But it would be wise to look at the context.

One question is what did McKenzie intend by comparing Ross to an ape?
He's saying that he's not human, below a human, dehumanize the target as if to indicate that being a non human is the problem. That why black people were historically  compared to apes/monkeys and still are. It became part of the everyday language of racists and slave trade apologists.

Imo, the racist tag still applies in this case even if McKenzie was unaware that it was in the public domain that Ross could  have declared for Nigeria, due to his family blood ties. McKenzie used the traditional racist put-down of black people and applied it to what he probably thought was a lowly scouser. I think we can reasonably infer that McKenzie is dehumanising  by association, equating a lowlife scouser to a lowlife black person by trying to dehumanise Ross with the  ape comparison.


Here is an example of context, how a word could sound racist if you ignore the vital importance of context.
Recently an Australian pundit who likened a development in the play by Venus Willams to a  guerilla effect (tactic). UnfortunatEly for him, an outraged public thought he said gorilla and context was totally diminished as a value by which we understand the spoken language, it was replaced by ignorant blind emotion.

Yes we have all these laws and definitions around topics like racism, sexism etc where someone simply has to be offended in a certain manner for it to be that manner of offence. But there was a lot of stuff in his article that was highly distasteful and a lot of stuff where there can be no ambiguity that was pretty disgusting to stick in a newspaper column. But look guys like this are writing articles like this is titles like the Sun because there is a demand among readers for this type of crap. It says a lot about a section of the GB public that this passed through the editorial process as something that was deemed suitable consumption for their target audience.

Who cares where the money is coming from as long as we are showing ambition by not being scared to pay £25M+ for decent players now rather than our old attitude of ahh that's far too dear. He's not worth that!

I'm delighted we're getting these deals done early and not just talking about it for weeks. Klaasan was Ajax's captain last year and their 2nd top scorer. With all the defensive midfielders we have we badly needed a scoring midfielder.

Hopefully Barkley will stay and fight for his place but I reckon Rom will definitely leave.
I don't think this Niang lad is that great though from what the Milan fans were saying on their discussion boards
He has only scored 29 goals in his 157 game club career to date, a worse record than Niasse, yet loads of clubs seem interested in him.

I'd much rather this Sandro lad who looks to have it all but I think he's taking his time and looking around to see who's interested in him before he decides where he wants to go to. At £6M he would be a steal.

I see on Twitter than there is a decent split re Barkley in terms of letting him off or keeping him. I honestly want to know how you lads rate him.
In terms of transfer rumours talk of Spurs are flying but he wouldn´t get a sniff with Dele Ali at 10 and the workrate seems to be an issue for Koeman, and Pochettino demands even more in terms of pressing.
I just don´t get how a lad who blows so hot and cold at 23 is valued so much while some Everton fans on twitter are saying Klassen is crap. He is a year older and is way more established.
I am not trolling or messing here, as I genuinely don´t see Barkley being a consistent player all season.

thats it in a nutshell, barkley has shown flashes of brillance but then can disappear in other games. because he's a local lad, all everton fans are desperate for him to succeed but as you said he's 23 now and we probably havent seen him push on the way we all hoped.
its got to the stage now that if he moves, everton fans will be disappointed because 'he's one of our own' but most realise there's players out there with better quality that could take us to the next level. if he signs new contract...great, if he doesnt...ship him out, simple as.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Fuzzman on June 19, 2017, 12:55:40 PM
I'd say most of the local fans would want him to stay and to come good but if you're more ruthless like Koeman is I think then you would probably let him go as he's doesn't seem to be reaching the level we all think he can. Maybe it's because of the way we play or the lack of movement ahead of him.
Del Ali certainly has better players around him and Kane shows much more movement and work rate than Lukaku does so maybe it's not all his own fault.

I'd be happy for him to stay but don't think he's an automatic starter any more. He doesn't score enough goals in my eyes and for such a big lad he should be winning a lot more headers also.
I get the feeling he wants to move on as he feels the pressure from the fans and when he loses the ball there is always that Tut feeling.
He might do better away from the home town pressure

Yeah it's exciting times for Everton and we're finally showing we can compete financially with the bigger boys. In my head Lukaku is leaving but I'd not be overly surprised if he stayed one more season, especially if Conte isn't that pushed on getting him and no other club interested in spending 90-100M.
I think Everton have made it clear they don't need to sell him to fund these others deals so Rom could be frustrated at being priced out of a move.

Prices are high for decent players now but I've always said we need to pay a little over the odds to get decent players to come to us over CL clubs and clubs in London.

I've mixed feelings on Rooney returning but if the wages aren't too high then surely his experience can benefit the younger players that are coming through.

Mixed feelings about Rooney too. If he goes out and busts his balls, which he hasn't done for a while then he might be worth the grief that comes with him. If he acts the maggot when Koeman doesn't play him when and where he wants to play it might get messy!

What's happened to Koeman's pursuit of his nr.1 midfield target Gylfi Sigurdsson of Swansea?
Is it still on or are Swansea still holding fast at the breach?

the stadium isn't connected to the Chinese finance deal
its merely an overdraft facility

the stadium is being funded through the city council

think about it, all the RS taxpayers helping to fund a landmark stadium along the docks, for Everton.

My My, ye have been busy in this thread since I last looked.
I was expecting a lot of chat about Rooney coming and Lukaku going to Utd but alas it looks like the red shite fans have finally got fed up with Everton in the news too much and have come on to vent their anger.

Usually they have no interest in what we do so something must be rattling their cage.

Anyway, what do ye make of 75M for Romelu? Is it just his agent starting the ball rolling and they're expecting Chelsea to come back with an offer?

That's why I was thinking when Man U came into the picture!! I think Rom would prefer to go to Chelsea, Man City, Bayern etc. If the agent wants his cut then we should hold out for at least £95m for Rom.

He's moving whatever happens. Everton are not in a strong bargaining position. Lukaku is exactly the sort of player who will sulk ala Payet if he doesn't get his way and be a distraction.

My favourite story about Everton is when they were building a new trophy room, they nipped across to Anfield to measure the European Cup(where else would the go in fairness) so as to build a cabinet big enough for when they won it.. ;D

Agent gets next to nothing if he leaves on a free!! Sad to say but this is probably one of the most important factors in this move so I am going to guess he goes for £85m to Chelsea or Man U.

He was your main striker, Christ he nearly won the league for you which put's ye in the same position as us i.e a small club compared to the big boys, but you're right Spurs Chelsea and the United Arab City will be the main teams I think next season with anyone from Arsenal to Leicester scrambling around inconsistently below them.
I'm old enough remember the false hope under Colin Harvey to be anointing Koeman as the second coming of Harry Cattarick and as for our new stadium , Kings Dock anyone!!!

75million plus add ons is a great deal for a player who doesnt want to play for the club. Lukaku was a great goalscorer but he always thought he was bigger than the club. Time to move on and get more players in who want to play for us.

Like Wayne Rooney..
yeah like wayne rooney, if koeman thinks he can still do a job then thats good enough for me.

This the same lad who spent last season fighting with Martin O'Neill like a spoilt child?
koeman was completely correct
if the club medical staff say a player is injured, then he's injured

Interesting how medical staffs with a vested interest in one opinion seem to lean towards that one, huh?

Hope Rooney does well at Everton. As for Lukaku, he probably knew he was always going to move to a massive club and always had that in the back of his mind. Let's see if he can live up to it now. I think he will.

if the club medical staff say a player is injured, then he's injured
A player who is called up for intl duty and is allegedly injured, is mandated to turn up and allow himself to be inspected by the intl team doctor. The intl team doctor has the final say on the fitness of the player. The club's medical staff have no say inside this 5 day window, unless consulted.
The reason for this is that clubs have tried to pull too many fast ones in the past. Trap demanded all players turn up for inspection regardless of what was faxed through to him.

Post by: Denn Forever on July 09, 2017, 06:08:57 PM
Don't know if this  reason works but apparent Rooney coming  back to everton makes financial sence.  Even before shirt sales.

Wayne Rooney is costing Everton £16.64 million in wages plus two £4 million bonus payments - £24.64 million for two seasons. Plus the £10 million that he has knocked off Lukaku's price. That takes him up to £34.64 million which is still £360k cheaper than Andy Carroll so in Merseyside transfer terms a bargain.

Possibly £44m?
I think it would be a great move for both. Gylfi's a class act, his all round ability at this level is proven beyond doubt, he's just about reaching his peak and now can move his game up a few notches with better players around him.

I see Koeman is giving young Kenny and Connolly a try at full back but you would expect Holgate and Baines to start the season I think.
They beat FC Twente 0-3 yesterday with Lennon scoring one.
This day next week is the first leg of the round 3 qualifier for Europa.

Still no talk of a new main striker coming in. I hope Rooney wasn't their main plan. I'm glad he's back and think he will do well but not as our main No 1 striker.

We've got Williams, Keane, Jags, Holgate and then Barry and Besic can also play there.
Besic has played there in their last 2 friendlies apparently and done very well though he is small.

McCarthy, Schneiderlin, Gana, Barry, Besic and Tom Davis will all be pushing hard to get 2 of those defensive midfield roles.

class act again by the club.....the peoples club'.


In celebration of the life of Bradley Lowery, Everton Football Club is hosting a charity football match at Goodison Park on Sunday 3 September.

The charity game has been arranged in conjunction with the Lowery family and the Bradley Lowery Foundation and, with the assistance of celebrity football organiser Sellebrity Soccer, will see a host of celebrities lace up their boots for the match which will benefit the Bradley Lowery Foundation and Everton in the Community.

Young Sunderland supporter Bradley won the hearts of football fans around the world during his brave battle against neuroblastoma, a rare type of cancer, before his sad passing this month aged six.

Gemma Lowery, mum of Bradley, said: "I appreciate Sellebrity Soccer putting in the hard work to get the football match arranged to raise funds for the Bradley Lowery Foundation. As always, Everton has been amazing in letting it happen at Goodison Park. The support is fantastic."

The match has been inspired by Bradley's love of football and the Club is proud to be able to host the fixture. Evertonians formed a special bond with the youngster, initially during Everton's match at Sunderland in September 2016, and then when he was a guest at Goodison Park for two matches in January and February this year.

He accompanied the Everton team onto the pitch ahead of the Blues' game against Manchester City in January whilst wearing his Sunderland kit – and was also the Black Cats' mascot for the Everton versus Sunderland fixture in February.

Everton Chairman Bill Kenwright said: "There's little that I could ever add to the tributes to Bradley, that have already been fulsome throughout the world of football – and onwards. I didn't know him for long. But from the second he walked out onto the pitch with his beloved Sunderland Football Club against us, I felt an overwhelming "Blue" need to support him. Farhad and my Everton colleagues immediately supported that need.

"Everyone at Everton feels honoured to support this match to celebrate the short life of one of football's all-time greats - There's Only One Bradley Lowery."

The celebrity fixture will be played on Sunday 3 September, kicking off at 3pm, and will feature a host of celebrities.

Last season I was all on for bringing in Ciggysson but I am not so sure any more.
I mean back then we had lots of good central midfielders but not many who would score or set up many goals.
Now we've got Klaassen, Davis, Rooney, Sandro along with Lookman and Bolasie to come back.
I still think he's a great player but £50M is a lot for a player who might not play every week. Would you maybe play him alongsie Klaassen in a 4 man midfield?
Still Moshiri must know we can afford to bring him in and hopefully still get a striker.

I'm more concerned about are we gonna bottle it in signing a top quality striker and just settle with Rooney, Sandro and young Calvert-Lewin.
I'd like to see someone like Giroud or even Edin Dzeko as they are proven goal scorers whereas I think it's a risk trying someone like Moussa Dembele who was great in Scotland but not so great with Fulham before that.

Poor game all in although Sandro looks like he could make a go of it when he came on.

That Martina lad in right back was very ropey. Hurry up Seamus, but in the meantime let Holgate play out there!

I like Koeman as a manager but you have to wonder about some of his choices.
Why is he playing Calvert-Lewin out on the right side and how he rates Martina I really don't know. He's signed him twice before I think.

Rooney didn't play that well and Mirallas was rubbish again. Early days of course and they sat deep and defended well. Thought lookman and Sandro should have been on much earlier

Have a bad feeling about the game tonight. There will be a very hostile crowd I'd say when ye see what they were at over at Goodison. Id imagine Koeman will come to park the bus and frustrate them with a back 5 and 3 defensive midfielders.

Could go to extra time. Will watch it in the Mercantile with the Goodison Blues supporters club.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/EvertonRepublicIreland/

We really need to get a decent striker before the window closes otherwise Siggy will have all this skill but nobody to hit it to.
Hopefully Sandro is fit to play some part tonight.

Anyone got tickets for Sunday? In Croker I mean not Goodison.

That was impressive from Everton considering going a goal down but I suppose the unworldly retort from Gylfi settled any nerves
Ronny knows set piece specialists and I'd say in the EPL, after Erikson comes Gylfi, but in the overall game, Gylfi  can hold his own against the best. I'd hope Ronny doesn't shove him out on the flanks like what happened to him at Spurs.

Gone very quiet in here.
3 defeats in a row will do that though I suppose.
absolute horror show tonight, as bad as anything I've seen in a long time. Not one player showed anything. Pathetic performance and not on its own this season,  koeman needs to sort it out soon or he wont be there.

In Moyes ye trust!  ;)

if everton dont beat burnley on sunday the pressure on koeman will be unbearable. The fans are restless and alot are calling for his head. The problem at the moment is the play is too slow, too negative and boring to watch. Koeman needs to change something or he will be changed. And by the way I'd take ancelotti in a heart beat.

He'll have been on huge money at Everton, probably treble what he was on at Soton. Everton was a great job, when he took over there was some top players at the club and they've been taken over by a billionaire.

He hasn't bought well and, replacing Lukaku was always going to be tough but he didn't help himself with his signings.

Koeman bought well when he was at Southampton after losing key players.  Mane, Tadic, Pelle were good signings at the time. He had a bigger budget at Everton after the take over and seemed to just throw money at it. No balance in the team.

Everton are playing in a much weaker competition I expected them to do better.  Atalanta who hammered them tonight are top of their group and aren't doing much better their own league.  Leicester City topped their Champions league group this time last year and they had only 12 points after 12 Premier league games the same total as Everton right now.

Hat-trick for Rooney and his 3rd goal scored from the half way line  :o

That was class!
(From a Liverpool fan)
Decent strike but there is no one in the goal. Though it could be argued even if Joe Hart was in the goal it would be same as having no one there.

Desperate comment. Just admit it was brilliantly executed. The technique to keep the ball low and direct like that was excellent. Most players couldn't kick a ball that far never mind with the accuracy. It was a great piece of skill.
Would ya stop.
A Luton player scored a better one at the weekend.

No blinkers on here mate. Rooney goal wasn't even the best goal of the evening nevermind the goal of the season.
Sterling's goal was better imo.
It was a decent strike like I said but no more than that. No one in the goal also helped.
Because it's Wayne Rooney it will be completely overhyped. I bet you never even knew about the goal the Luton player scored. I wonder why that is...

Post by: ned on November 30, 2017, 07:01:38 PM
I never mentioned that it was the best goal of the night and I didn't realise there could only be one great goal per set of fixtures. I only saw the goal because I have BT sport. Don't have Sky. The Luton goal may have been better and Sterling's was great but the goal of midweek was possibly Lingard's for Man U. Haven't seen any of the Liverpool goals so can only comment on what I have seen. For what it's worth I think all four of those goals were excellent. Take a group of football supporters and get them to grade them and you would have a fairly even split. Your opinion is blinkered by your Everton and Rooney hate. If

Martina is worse than shíte. Williams has started to play a bit better, but Seamus, Baines and Funes Mori can't get fit soon enough from a defensive perspective.

Good point won away from home yesterday and with Newcastle and Swansea up next, a chance to climb a bit further up the table.

Not sure about Sam on the purse strings in January, you could see Kevin Nolan and Feckin Andy Carroll walk through the gates.....

Playing one striker, a very young one who is not even an out an out striker, with no support from midfield as they are all sitting too far back does not help. A new striker won't change those tactics.

Everton In The Community is to be awarded the Freedom of the City of Liverpool to mark its 30 years in operation.

He said that the Board is close to finalising a deal whereby two-thirds of the development costs will be funded by the investment vehicle created by Liverpool City Council that will provide the club access to lower-interest loan facilities.

Work on how to finance the final third is "ongoing". The construction is projected to start in a year's time and will take three years to complete, allowing for Everton to kick off the 2022/23 season in their new home if all goes to plan.

Unreal. No wonder Niasse did well out there too.

I see the throwing of mud from the media has started. Looks like Holgate is now the one being chased!

https://www.balls.ie/football/evertons-mason-holgate-faces-ban-homophobic-tweets-380985 (https://www.balls.ie/football/evertons-mason-holgate-faces-ban-homophobic-tweets-380985)

Last week's derby FA Cup tie had lots of talking points. From Virgil Van Dijk's debut winner, the contentious Lallana penalty, the callback from the league game with a contentious penalty going in the opposite direction, Mason Holgate shoving Roberto Firmino over the advertising hoarding into the crowd going completely unpunished by referee Bobby Madley leading of course to the darker element that's hung over the fixture: Holgate accusing Firmino of using racist language against him.

There is still no decision made on that situation but Holgate's complaints seem to have opened up an unsavoury elements of his own past. A history of using homophobic language during Twitter exchanges.

The Everton defender has since deleted the Tweets but, as the general rule goes, once something appears on the internet it can never really be deleted. The Tweets were sent from his account back in 2012 and 2013 but they could see the 21 year old face a lengthy ban. He is now under investigation from the FA after the incident was highlighted following the Firmino bust up.

It was first believed that Holgate had deleted his Twitter following the Firmino clash and abuse he was receiving from Liverpool fans. The offensive tweets sent by the player contained the words "f**got", "fag" and "batty".

There is precedent in this kind of a case, for example Watford's Andre Gray. In 2016 Grey was suspended from playing for four matches whilst playing for Burley when he was found guilty of six aggravated breaches of FA rules for homophobic comments made on social media.

The FA continue to investigate the situation from last Friday night's game at Anfield, with no decision made yet on Firmino's alleged racist language.

Pundits eulogising about Moyes great record at Everton.... am I missing something? What did he win? Got to Cup final went ahead in first minutes and lost, Cup semi-final went ahead v Liverpool and lost, got to Champs league qualifier and lost. Moyes success at Everton is a myth and shows how ambition went through the floor... remember Wigan and Portsmouth won Cups despite the big four or five. Royle won a trophy, Kendall was a legend... Moyes was a bluffer who settled for mediocrity and Everton still have that mindset.

Are yis happy about Walcott?
I think he will add great pace and good be a good partner for Tosun.
Much better than Mirrallas and scored 18 last year.
I'd say he just regular games and he could be an England starter in the WC

That's him, Bolasie, Vlasic, Lookman, Lennon all with good pace now to make runs for Rooney and Siggy to find with their vision and passing. 7th place here we come.

Big Sam will want the ball booted long and early for the likes of Walcott to run onto.

It's going to get even direr, but maybe Walcott can manage a shot on target if he's not injured.

Big Sam out.

Has he just got a bad rep for no reason?
He was the England manager after all until he messed it up but I think he's a wise old codger and is as good as Moyes or Bobby was and we saw what Koeman did to us.

It's too easy to say this lad and that lad isn't up to it but who is?
I think he's a lot more experienced than say Eddie Howe or man other young managers.

with baines a long way off being fit and coming to the end of his days anyway a new left back is badly needed. cuco martina is a complete liability and shouldnt be anywhere near the 1st team.
im happy enough with walcott, he's a definite upgrade on lennon and miralles and should get us some goals or some shots at goal at least, which would be a major improvement.

im with johnneycool on big sam, dont want him about the place and hopefully he wont be around next season.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Fuzzman on January 17, 2018, 06:09:30 PM
Fair enough lads but what is it about him ye don't like?
Is it just that he's nearly always associated with teams fighting for survival and not top 4?

Most would say Koeman is a better manager than him and look how he had that team playing.

We've virtually had no striker all season up to now and nearly all of our team is different from 2 years ago.
I knew we had to take 2 steps back to go one forward but I dont see us having wasted that much money.

I think Siggurdsson is a class player though a little too laid back at time. If he has a good target man he will look better and now with Walcott and Bolasie making good runs into space he can unlock defences.
Rooney is Rooney in that some days he'll look slow and useless and other days score goals from nowhere.
Schneiderlin is the one I am most disappointed with tbh but Gana can get back to one of the best tacklers and man markers in the game if he can curb his yellow cards.

Left back is definitely a problem as is Centre Half perhaps. Pickford will be a future England No1 and will make the odd mistake here and there but sure what keeper does.
We saw a few years ago what a good run of games and confidence can do where we can challenge a few of those top 6 teams for maybe 4th but for me the big difference now is we do have a owner where we can pay big money for players and big wages but we're not gonna attract the top top players who want to play for Utd, City or Chelsea or Arsenal are we.

To be precise, he's full of his own shit.

A few of his Everton TV interviews when he took over and stumbled on a winning streak aided by a few ropey penalties was all we did this and we're doing that, but just look at the interviews he's given since the 4-0 drubbing by Spurs it was all they, they didn't do this and they didn't do that.
He's distancing himself when there's a poor result, but all smiley look how great I am when they win.

Parking the bus against West Brom and being happy with a 0-0 draw, tried the same again a week later against Bournemouth and got stung by a late goal with one shot on target the whole game and he moans about Bournemouth being lucky. If you don't shot, you don't score, its simple SAM.

I don't think they've improved or changed a whole pile since Koeman got the chop. Still haven't got a replacement in for Lukaka who seems to have been papering over a whole load of cracks last year.

Any manager worth his salt would know he had to stop us conceding goals.
We were in freefall for the first few months and the players didn't wanna listen to Koeman any more so Sam had to batten down the hatches and it paid dividends.
If you become hard to beat that's the first step to recovery and then you start to build your confidence.
We probably had our strongest team out against Liverpool in the cup and probably played our best game that night.

I think too many fans just need a scapegoat or someone to give out about and are never happy with anything they get. Look how many are not happy with Wenger or Maureeno and last year a lot of RS were not happy with Klopphead.

Who would ye guys like to be our next manager and I mean someone we actually have a chance of getting.

I can understand battening down the hatches when playing some of the bigger but teams who are also struggling like WBA and Bournemouth speaks volumes of his expectations. One point picked up from a possible 6 isn't good.

What happened this defensive structure against Spurs?

I don't see any great improvement in defence for he's meant to be renowned for. Granted Martina is shite but why keep starting him?
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Fuzzman on January 19, 2018, 02:51:46 PM
JC, when your team is in a bad place with zero confidence then you always go back to basics and that means get bodies back and play it safe. Before Sam took over we were leaking 4 and 5 goals a game but then he sorted it out I think we only conceded 2 goals in 6 or 7 games.

Why could Koeman not sort that out?

I dont mean to have a go at you BUT...;-)
you remind me of a few older men I know who watch GAA now who give out about everything and say he shouldn't be playing and that's rubbish etc etc but they never give any solutions.

Yes 1 point from 6 is not good form and our lack of shots on target is a huge problem but they have brought it two good attacking players so they are trying to address the problem.

Who would you realistically like to see manage Everton and you think England had a lucky escape when Sam messed up the job.

We all agree Martina is rubbish but who else do you play there? Both Sam and Koeman both picked him so that not tell you they have no alternatives. He picks himself as does Kenny these days.

Koeman had obviously lost the changing room and was on a hiding to nothing. Not getting Giroud or another physical striker in was his downfall, coupled with injuries to Funes Mori ( I think he's underrated) and Seamus as well as a major loss of form with Williams and to a lesser extent Jagielka left Everton badly exposed. Signing Keane was a good move and I think he will come good with better players around him. He was also going to shoe horn in Rooney when it patently wasn't working. Martina should never have been signed even for free.

What has big Sam done since?
Not much else if the truth be told. New man Tosun bucked up front with no support against Spurs, defence making basic errors and giving the ball away at will.

Big Unsy got a good win against a poor West Ham a few days after big Sam came on board and he more or less stuck with Rooney playing deeper off DCL and that worked for a few games, soft penalties aside. But the same issues are there.

we'd have been better going for the likes of Eddie Howe who with a lot less resources has a team playing decent football and holding their own.
Big Sam is hopefully a stopgap till the summer.

The game on Saturday against another team that doesn't want the ball will be a cracker.............

Before Sam took over we were in Free Fall
In December we played 8 matches under Sam and lost one- Away to Bournemouth
Are you trying to say Sam didn't steady the ship, stop us conceding goals and get draws at Anfield and home to the champions?
In January we've lost at home to Man Utd and gave Liverpool a real good game in the cup.
Spurs collapse was bad but when you go a goal down to a team from the top 4 they will punish you big time on the break.

To me that's quite a turnaround but in my eyes there are a lot of biased fans who cannot step back and see for themselves what is really happening but have an idea about the man that the won't change. Had he got us to 6th place would you still be saying he's not that man to take us forward. I suspect you would.
Basically he can do no right in a lot of people's eyes just because he's never been with a BIG club before which we are no longer either.

I think we've bought well in this window and would be delighted if Vardy was to come too but at least Sam has stopped the rut and we're not looking at the bottom half of the table.

Sam is a decent short term solution. Everton were in trouble and he steadied the ship. But long term Everton fans would be hoping for some one to push the club on. Some one new and fresh! Along with Sam there are a heap of worn out Managers - Hodgeson, Hughes, Pardew, and Moyles. They seem to be just hopping from one club to another. Another version of a Journey man player!

Looks awful for the poor lad.   Hopefully Liverpool fans have moved on from the distasteful chants that did the rounds at Anfield celebrating a similar injury to Alan Smith.
ah but lfc are always the victims don't you know

No, but they have history singing about injuries to rival's  players.

James McCarty breaks his leg and posters come on to wish him well,yet the 3 dumbasses stgalls,sheedy and manfromdelmonte turn it into something entirely different.

What's wrong with you lads?

Hopefully McCarty gets back playing soon.  The Everton fans on here don't seem to care all that much though.  Having a pop at Liverpool fans seems to be higher on their agenda.

It was the same common denominator ll. Stgallsgaa you are a sad individual. You turn anything back to liverpool.

I feel for the guy. It was such a freak injury too. No malice in any of it. His career is beginning to pass him by with injuries.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: brokencrossbar1 on January 21, 2018, 12:01:39 PM
It really is an awful shame. Because of the way he plays, aggressive and intense, he will always be in positions where something like this can happen, albeit this was a complete accident. It such a shame that his career has just drifted from one injury to the next. Hopefully he can make it back.

Solomon Rondon was very classy about it and was very upset at the time. That would be hard to take as a player to cause someone such a bad injury.

As is completely typical, the Liverpool posters refuse to condemn the abhorrent actions of their fellow fans.  All this "one club, one family"' bullshit comes to the fore and they circle the wagons.   Liverpool fans across the pubs of Merseyside sang enthusiastically when Smith broke his leg,  as they did when is happened to Seamus Coleman, as they undoubtedly are doing right now about McCarthy.  Does anyone condemn the Coleman video?    Not a word of it from this quarter, rather a preference to attack those who bring it to public attention.

He was. When an OAP winger is starting for Man Utd at RB they can hardly talk about quaility in those positions either. Coleman much more of a footballer than Walker. Alonso at Chelsea has shown well the last two seasons but the PL isn't exactly awash with players better than Coleman.

Sam will try and park the bus and still concede a goal in the first 10 minutes.

Karius could catch a cold tomorrow if he doesn't wrap up warm.

allardyce when responding to questions that the fans wanted him out.
''Where are all these doubters? Your lives are run by twitter, instagram and facebook, dont run your lives by social media, the doubters are in a small minority"

The man truly is deluded, cant wait til he's out of our club.
As for the derby its obviously of less significance because of the champions league but I'd always want everton to beat liverpool at any time be it the first team, reserves or u10's but its a strange one because if we happen to win I dont want fat sam getting credit for it.

I actually like Everton as a club. I remember back in the mid 80s when it was basically whoever won Merseyside won the league. God be with the days.

I thought they pulled a great one too when the new Liverpool One centre was opening. They called their shop Everton Two. So the address is

Everton Two,
Liverpool One
Liverpool LWhatever.

Everton are 6/1 to win and both teams to score. I can see Liverpool resting karius, Robertson, lovren, van dyk, Milner, firmino, and mane. I presume salah will be out injured.

Definitely can't see klopp risking either center half with no cover before Tuesdays game. Moreno to come in for Robertson,  probably Henderson, Chamberlain and wjndalum in midfield and solanke, ings and maybe one of mane or firmino to start up front. Definitely worth a punt at 6/1.

Solanke and ings will turn into messi and ronaldo for one match only.
Can see liverpool making 5/6 changes and you would think it will be hard for liverpool to raise themselves again after such a high during the week so maybe everton wont have a better chance to finally beat liverpool and get that monkey of their backs. 1-1 draw.

They are low on options alright. There were rumours masterson was to get a start maybe along side lovren. If van dyk was to pick up an injury it would be some boost to city before Tuesday night. Arguably Liverpool's most important player for the city game.

I have never been so disinterested in Everton.  No desire to go over and rarely even watch matches on TV. For first time ever I don't even look at fixtures.  Its not results, it's the utter boredom of watching the play. Total waste of 2hrs sitting down to watch on TV and I certainly don't have money to be spending going over to Goodison for 1shot on target. Sad state of affairs. Grim stuff.

seriously? What results were decent? The performances definitely weren't. Big sam served up some of the biggest dross ever witnessed at goodison. 3 games this season at home we didnt have one shot on target. His totally negative approach was a real turn off with the fans and he done nothing to try to win over the fans who didnt want him in the 1st place.
Everton fans crave success and want to be challenging the top 6 and competing for cups and playing in europe. Big sam isnt and never will be the man for that.

A bit dewey eyed alright, but due to mismanagment for decades Everton have fallen off the title chasing radar.

IMO Bill Kenwright steadied a sinking ship but doesn't have the resources to compete. This Morshiri lad is talking the talk but we'll see how far he digs into his own pockets this summer as any money spunked last summer was more or less the Lukaka cash sucked out of Utd.

But Big Sam is certainly not the answer.

I can understand parking the bus when Man City are in town, but he parked it with West Brom lining out against you then there's an issue. That's not tactical nous, that's being set in your ways and unbearably hard to watch.
He got lucky with injuries clearing up for Coleman and Baines and that made a difference, nothing training ground related by the looks of it.


I'd prefer Eddie Howe than any of the others.

Have Everton really been mismanaged though (financially I mean) or are they just another victim of not having pockets as deep as the Sheiks, Oligarchs and Rick Yanks? I know how hard Liverpool find it to compete on the wages front, and apart from the odd big deal, on the transfer front. And, no offence intended, Liverpool are a bigger name worldwide than Everton.

I always thought Everton (post 80s) were a well run club, who should be competing for Cups, but didn't have the financial clout to be chasing leagues any more. They should be chasing Europa League at least every year, and Champions League every now and then.

Is there bad management of the club behind the scenes? Aren't they getting a new ground in Liverpool Docks?

Mismanagement mostly in and around the 90's IMO.

Two things happened.

John Moore's death and his poor health to the lead up to it meant that there was no one able to provide money for transfers and then the snake oil salesman Peter Johnson was all bluster and nothing behind it. Think of the Romario bullshit that he tried to pull.

The ban on English clubs in Europe and the impact it had on Everton cannot be understated. They were every bit as good as Liverpool at that time but being denied that shop window meant that they didn't develop that tradition in Europe like they should have and that takes its toll even today. Think how many Scandinavians support Liverpool.

The new stadium is needed badly and hopefully it will happen as this is the third or fourth go at it.

You're right, but I don't think either club need a reality check. The owners of both clubs would most likely agree with you. But that was then and this is now. Both clubs have bigger notions and neither manager fits their vision of the future.

Driving out we passed Goodison, didn't even looked like the place was open and no one hanging around.Their hanging baskets looked lovely to be fair though  ;D

hopefully zouma is confirmed as well. After last seasons awful performances and the general negativity around the club its great to be able to look forward now to the new season. Some really exciting signings, hopefully they can settle in quickly and we can start the season off on the front foot.

gylfi starting to look more comfortable in an everton shirt and digne also looks a quality signing. its more the centre forward position i would be concerned with, DCL isnt good enough and the jury is still out on tosun.

"There are all sorts of ways when viewing Everton's record at this ground. Their last victory had been in 1999 or 7,007 days ago. During that period, more than 200 players have represented them in derbies and none of them have scored a winning goal. And yet, to reduce Liverpool's dominance over Everton to a 19-year period overlooked a historical pattern in existence since 1962, the year Liverpool became a First Division club again under Bill Shankly. In 56 seasons, Everton had won on this ground just seven times and three of them were in the 1980s, the club's most recent era of success."

And what?  The chatter all week was how Everton were now on a par with Liverpool.  The reality is that they are not.  They are as far away from each other as they ever were and not getting any closer.  I would fancy that when we hit form with the forward line we will pull even further away and 20 points of a gap by the end of the season would not be out of the realms of possibility.

It depends on how you view Liverpool last year though.

This year Liverpool are doing the right things to go about landing a PL title, slightly tighter at the back, functional enough midfield with the strike force still getting just enough goals to put teams away.

IMO last year Klopp got caught up in the hype of Salah, Firmino, Mane bagging goals for fun, Roberts and TAA bombing forward almost recklessly but still dropping points to teams who sat and soaked up that pressure and struck lucky on a set piece or whatever.
No one saw Salah in particular do what he did last year and maybe its an outlier and he's reverting to sort this year, still a fine footballer all the same.

Everton are now competitive at this level, i.e. they have a go and attack even though the Arsenal game in the emirates where they lost 2-1 and the defeat to Man U they were unlucky in certain aspects of the game but really need an out and out striker to really compete, but I think they're moving in the right direction and are easier on the eye than the stuff Sam was serving up.

In fairness he was good for us last season but yeah the hype on his performances last season didn't match what I was watching!! He has been pretty terrible all this season and not just since the Anfield gaff. He is just another in the long line of overrated England keepers since Seaman retired.

An excellent manager of the appointment is confirmed but the reality is that this is not a great squad that he is inheriting. Despite spending £500m there are a lot of bang average players on the Everton team. 3-4 of the starting team against United are post 30. Pickford is disaster. Richarlison is good on his day but very hot and cold. There needs to be major investment in the squad. Ancelotti is used to going into strong squad and improving them. Can he do an Italian Sam Allardyce?

The likes of Coleman and Baines are definitely on the wane but there are good replacements in the pipeline, it's just that there's been a poor run of injuries especially to midfielders, the likes of Gomez, Delph, Schneiderlin (who I don't rate) and Gbamin who we've seen very little off but is highly rated.

All in, it's a pretty young squad to work with.

In seriousness, great appointment if confirmed. Huge investment needed as bcb1 says. Must be gonna come, cant see him taking the job otherwise. Exciting times..

I think Davies will fall into that camp soon enough too. I just don't see it in him at all :(

Definitely some prospects anyway but very hard to come up through youth and get into a premier league starting 11. I had higher hopes for Lookman - thought he could have been managed better.

Great to see progress for the original club in the city
Fans of the neighbouring club have very short memories

Helps to have a long memory when you're an Everton fan   ;D
Some people know their history

Not long since the neighbours were a mid table club

Not sure of Ancelotti thing TBH.

If its a statement of intent of where they want to be and invest accordingly in the transfer market it could get interesting but if it's nothing more than window dressing then why bother..

One would assume that someone of his stature would take on a job like Everton having been assured that the required resources would be made available.

That's not a shot at Everton BTW; we're not even a decade on from when Liverpool were forced to take a punt on Roy Hodgson, while in 2013, top level managers were hardly queuing up outside the interview room either (it was Rodgers or Martinez, if I remember correctly). And I would assume Klopp had to be convinced the support and time was going to be there to allow him to succeed.

Fair fucks to Everton I say. Hope he gets them going.

Zlatan is joint AC again so he won't be joining Everton. Recent financial statements suggest that they are not in the cash rich position that some might think and they are borrowing against future TV cash to fund purchases. That's not the greatest way to build a squad considering they need about 6-7 first team players to make the step from relegation area to challenging for top 4.

Are they borrowing against future earnings or buying players on higher purchase as appears to be the norm these days?

Everton could do with somebody who can head the ball into the net, yesterday against Burnley Gylfi Sig struck a host of  pinpointed set pieces from the right side/corner kicks into the box, yet no Everton player could attack the ball with any venom or accuracy.

In the case of a deflection off a defender there is no offside, so var couldn't rule on that

In my view it was a perfectly good goal, sigurdsson wasn't interfering with de gea's sight line, de gea was going the wrong way and had a perfect view. If the goal wasn't given a penalty should have been for the challenge on sigurdsson. its unbelieveable that Everton haven't had one penalty all season.

He was completely irrelevant to the play. It was Maguire's deflection that took DeGea out. Sigurdsson might as well not have been there such was his contribution to what happened. DeGea was rooted to the spot and NEVER getting back across to make a save.

On the other hand, DeGea was owed one against Everton after the non-call at Old Trafford ( despite his weakness under the high ball).

He didn't lift his feet over the ball. He pulled them out of the way, and it is utterly ridiculous to claim that blocked DeGea's view. And even if we're generous and say it even partially blocked it, it would be irrelevent. DeGea was moving towards the opposite side of the goal and literally physically reacted to the deflection off Maguire as the exact same time as Sigurdsson pulled his feet back. Sigurdsson might as well have been invisible for all the impact he had on what happened. There is no way that that can logically be deemed interfering with play.

United got very lucky IMO.

IF Sigurdsson was blocking his view then why did DeGea move to his right as DCL shot, telepathy?

poor decision by VAR as the on field decision was a goal with no clear and obvious mistake made by the referee.

Recent brain farts? Pickford is a dreadful goalkeeper. He has played 135 league games and only had 34 clean sheets and conceded over 200 goals. That's only premier league alone.

From an Everton perspective Pickford could be looking for a new club come the summer. Hard to see Ancelotti sticking by him considering the number of brain farts he's had of recent..
Sigurdsson was brought down in the box with a late scything tackle, was there a case for a penalty?
Other than that, I thought De Gea was fortunate with the offside call, he hadn't the remotest chance of saving the ball with Sigurdsson out of that picture.
And that scything tackle which felled him was the direct cause of him being on the ground

I have to say I do think it was the right call to disallow that goal. Pickford made a great save second half. As someone said good at the spectacular but not so much the bread and butter ones.

Calvert-llewin on some scoring run. The funny part of it is he looks so clumsy yet still manages to keep scoring (albeit that was a bit of a freak one)

Everton...
First club to have a player punished retrospectively for diving . No other club has been punished despite weekly diving and simulation.

First club to have a penalty incorrectly awarded against them via VAR

First club to have an own-goal ruled out for offside by VAR

First club to have a manager red-carded

In fairness to Everton any team sent out by Mourinho will contribute to a bag of shite as well. Ancellotti will be asking serious questions of what he has and where he can take them. The game is moving on fast and the Everton players are not at the standard. Coleman is as good as you have but his legs are gone. Digne is looking for the next move. The front 2 are good players but very hit and miss. Pickford is Pickford. The rest are either past it or bang average.

Potentially a very good signing. 2 year contract is a bit strange. 3 decent signings for the Ev but the guts of £70m on 28-29 year olds shows a short term approach. Ancelotti hoping for a bounce for 2 years. They still have a long way to go and are very poor defensively.

Yeah it is defo an exciting signing, albeit his career has been on a downward trend.

the Everton midfield was too porous last year as Gueye wasn't there to cover for the lazy holes in Siggy and Gomez. Allen and potentially Daucoure are much needed cover which I think will help the centre backs. Davis is functional so a championship career beckons.

Pickford should be under pressure if Romero does arrive. Writing on the wall for him.

DCL needs to start putting away a higher percentage of the chances he's had as well.

I didn't see the game today (was too much other sport on!) but while Doherty has had a couple of really good seasons for Wolves, it has been as wing back, which is definitely a different position than full back, so it will be very interesting to see how he gets on at Spurs playing as a traditional 2 (and by all accounts it didn't go well today).

In terms of Coleman, who undoubtedly has been a super servant to Ireland and there was a time when he was possibly the best right back in the league. Now, you will have seen way more of him than me, but is it not true to say his form dipped noticeably last season, and often he lost his place at Everton?

Is there anyone injured at Everton that has him in, or do you think he is back established as first choice right back?

coleman struggled for form last season but the same could be said for the whole team. when fit hes still evertons 1st choice right back, he struggled last season because the midfield was overrun in nearly every game meaning the defenders and goalie were under constant pressure. today with a more solid midfield in front of him he was back to his old self, he mightnt have the legs to bomb up and down the wing as much anymore but he was solid defensively and kept son under wraps all game.

pre season a lot of fans were calling for a new right back to be signed as a near priority, now after one game the same fans are saying maybe its not near as big a priority as other positions, fickle nature of modern football fans??

Keeper, yes I'd agree, centre back less so as Mina and Keane will fight it out to partner Holgate who I think is coming as a really good centre back.

coleman lost the ball high up the pitch yesterday with a wayward pass and were lucky not to get caught out on the counter attack only for Doucouré to get back and make an interception. That has been missing last year.

Interesting to see how James Rodríguez goes when teams put a lot more effort in closing him down unlike Spurs yesterday.

In fairness they're playing well. The only thing is they have played lower level teams but you can only beat what's in front of you. I hope playing a strong team won't bite youse in the ass with Richie-laaaa and Allan going off hurt.

(PS 16 goals in 4 games is a better strike ratio  ;))

Suppose Spurs would have been considered a top 6 team till Jose arrived and started making a balls of them.

But, yes nothing is won in October.

Another good performance from Liverpool's most exciting side against Brighton today. Can't believe Pickford is still employed as a professional footballer though, awful keeper.

Carlo Ancelotti starting to show his worth now. If Everton can keep key players fit they might finish the season in the top 4, Pickford as dodgy as ever though.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Bronco on October 03, 2020, 05:00:53 PM
Not sure the defence is up to a top 4 finish unless other contenders make a mess of things. They'd need to improve on Pickford, Coleman and Keane.

If key players got injured they would be in trouble too, the likes of Walcott and Iwobi are nowhere near good enough to be starting regularly.

Iwobi did well there but still not great. Walcott might as well not have been there. Mina excellent there. Two goal difference probably about right.

The people's team did well and should have won. But Pickford?  I think he would have been not only under suicide watch but also protective custody had VAR not  intervened with the slide rule in such dramatic fashion.

pickford is a liability, mixes some brillant saves with some awful mistakes. Has at least one mistake in him every game.

Bit disappointed today with our performance and a few shocking VAR decisions. Richarlison should've had a penalty when his shirt was pulled for the header that hit the post...and he clearly wins the ball for the red card. We're gonna miss him now for the next 3 games. Hopefully young Gordon gets the nod over Iwobi.

Frustrating that to say the least. Pulls off two unbelievable saves and then a run of the mill along the ground shot spills between his arms.

Saved by VAR this time, but Ancelotti won't have forgotten it.

Midfield poor at times especially Gomez who was either caught on the ball or misplaced quite a few passes, Richarlison and Rodriguez struggled to get in the game, but luckily DCL was able to dominate wee Robertson to get the equaliser.

At least this season Everton made a game of it which is quite the step up from some of the hammerings of last season.

Wouldn't worry about James, he won't be hanging around for long anyways. He only signed a 2 year deal because that was the minimum he could get away with.
A half decent season and he'll be looking for a move next Summer.

"Ambition here at Everton is boundless".

"When they built this fort knox showcase a few seasons ago in which to hang the clubs sporting scalps they ran round to Liverpool with a tape to measure the European Cup, just to ensure they built a compartment big enough to take that great trophy when they win it".

"This is that compartment, at the moment it contains a clock"

Big Dunc used to put the shitters up Rio Ferdinand every time but Dunc was an out and out hallion in all fairness unlike the fake ones like Razor Ruddock.

Ruddock broke Andy Cole's two legs with one tackle in a reserve game. :o

Big Dunc an animal too. More off the pitch than on it but looks to have cleaned it up a bit now.

And Ruddock is still a complete asshole (with a fit wife).
Drunken does seem to have cleaned up his act or mellowed in his later years

No issues with McMahon or Souness, same way as I would have no issues with Peter Reid or say Watson or the like on the other side. They were hard as f**k for the days that they were, but they could take it as well. Sure McMahon kicked shins for both sides of Stanley Park!

Think you might need to check out YouTube to watch that one again Seanie. I remember thinking the ref was very harsh at the time. Looks a routine red these days, but Reid could have done feck all else.

Anyway, Whiteside's screamer surely made up for it!

It was very harsh at the time. A badly timed tackle worth a booking of course like everyone expected but not a red card. The dangers of giving a "retirement game" to a ref. Comparisons with nowadays are totally inappropriate to be fair unless you compare Reid's unnecessary jump and feigning injury with the standard carry on nowadays. Whiteside's goal was great and had to be to beat the footballer of the year and best keeper in the world at that time but Reid went down badly in my estimation after that. Moran was refused a medal afterwards.

Anyway - sorry Evertonians. Didn't want to come on this thread and start annoying ye.

Did you watch it again?

If you did, fair enough, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Reid was an arch enemy of Liverpool at the time, but I always admired him, and he did absolutely nothing wrong in that incident in my opinion. It was a travesty that Moran was not allowed collect his medal, albeit he did get it later I believe. Paul McGrath was magnificent that day. Not for the last time.

Never was a red in the first place, in fact it should have been rescinded.
In comparison to some other managers who hit hysteria in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail and remain there, Ancelotti was the epitome of  intelligent criticism, succinctly pointing out the referee's error and how the mistake could be remedied.

Everton appealed the severity of the ban rather than trying to overturn the red itself. Better chance of success apparently. It all smacks a bit of we know it wasn't a red but we can't overrule the ref so we have to give him something.

Red card has not been rescinded. I don't understand this. It's either a Red, Yellow or nothing.

How can it be a Red and not get a 3 match ban?

Where was VAR for all this?
Everton appealed the severity of the ban rather than trying to overturn the red itself. Better chance of success apparently. It all smacks a bit of we know it wasn't a red but we can't overrule the ref so we have to give him something.

If the decision was wrong then it's either a yellow or nothing!  And VAR has overturned Card decisions, where was VAR on Sunday?
The red card stands, the length of this 3 game ban (violent conduct) can be appealed and reduced according to merits.

Horrible team selection from Ancelotti. Packed the midfield. Zero width. He clearly doesn't fancy young Gordon, which is baffling. Going to Newcastle and playing for a point is unacceptable. We look a different team without Richarlison, and clueless without James. Take out our 2 fullbacks and we look worse than useless. Best we can hope for is not getting beat by United next weekend and then get all the players back fit and ready after the international break.

This is what shows Everton's difficulties are going to be. Grand first 11 but a very shallow squad. Richarlison may be a twat but he is very effective and his pace is crucial for Everton. Iwobi is fast but isn't the greatest technical player.

The problem may be that Carlo has bet the house on breaking into Europe this year but that is far from a guarantee. If they don't get European football for next seasons there is a top heavy squad of older players and limited cash to support them with new players.

Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Mr. Nakata on December 17, 2020, 01:29:51 PM
Godfrey and Holgate have done a great job deputizing for the injured fullbacks and all of a sudden Iwobi is looking half decent. I don't expect the eyebrow to change anything dramatically for the Arsenal game. Pickford will come back in even though I've been impressed with Olsen in his 2 outings between the sticks. Doucoure can play the holding midfield role as he was superb last night when Allan went off injured, but Gylfi and Gomes playing together does not excite me so much....both lacking in pace, but maybe I'm being harsh....they've played well in these last few games too. Great to see young Gordon getting a few minutes at the end last night. We'll need him for sure in the upcoming fixtures. After back to back wins I'll be gutted now if we can't turn over the goons at Goodison, but it's been a funny old season so far....majestic at the start, then dreadful for a month...and now looking solid and hard to beat.

Post by: brokencrossbar1 on December 27, 2020, 10:59:42 AM
They're doing well at the minute but the squad is thin so as the games build up then the pressure will be on. Still think they'll struggle to make the top 4 and 2-3 bad results has a team back to mid table. You'd expect 2-3 teams to go on strong runs from here and I don't see Everton being one of them
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: imtommygunn on December 27, 2020, 11:42:32 AM
Top six I'd be happy. Not enough depth there so like you say this period will likely take it's toll.

Midfield needs serious strengthening. Too many lazy deckers there without Allan or doucoure.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: SHEEDY on December 27, 2020, 12:05:11 PM
Any squad is going to be stretched with the amount of games at the minute and injuries are obviously going to happen because of that. Everton have played 3 games since Liverpool last played and play again tomorrow, no Allan, no Rodriguez, no Richarlison, no Digne and no complaints from ancellotti.

Interesting seeing Digne out on the wing. I was wondering how they would accomodate him and Godfrey who's getting rave reviews.

Where was Richarlison? He wasn't playing was he?

Allan coming back will be a huge plus. DCL too obviously. Allan, IMO, the best bit of transfer business.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: Mr. Nakata on January 13, 2021, 05:30:25 PM
Richarlison has an injury...came on for the last 15 minutes. Looks out of condition to me. Must have wintered well in Toxteth. Should hopefully have DCL back for the cup game against Sheff Wed and Allan at the end of the month, all going well. What vexes me is how we look a real decent outfit against all the teams that play ball, yet we look utter shite against a team that parks the bus against us. The West Ham defeat on New Year's Day a case in point. I was angry for a week after that game. I suppose we just need a few more creative players. Top 6 has to be the aim this season.

Great fighting spirit from the toffees last night, after a shocking first half. So yellow, crab passing and always going back instead of trying to expose slab head and lindelof who are both shite and there to be attacked with pace. Always lovely scoring a big goal with the last kick of the game...a very satisfactory point secured. Some really big games coming up in the next few weeks including City and Liverpool, but the game against Fulham at Goodson is the one that could cause the most pain...given previous inexplicable defeats to the hammers and barcodes.

Mf not tough enough is bottom line. Newcastle stuck the boot in and it worked. Some gifted ball players in there but without Allan not enough steel. Davies actually doing pretty well. For me Gomes, gylfi and Rodriguez definitely all can't play at once and tbh ideally two of them max should be there. Work rate just isn't good enough nor either tackling ability or desire.

You get the impression the centre backs were being rested and a midfield of Siggy, James and Gomez were never going to have the legs to cover the ground against Fulham. Richarlison isn't a centre forward able to hold the ball up and that meant Everton had no out ball.

You can see them fall away a bit unless Allan and DCL get back sooner rather than later.

My head hurts...the drink tasted like nectar last night. Well deserved win with Pickford and Keane both playing a blinder. Tom Davies in a great run of form recently also. With regards to Coleman I thought he had a great game last night and he was brilliant when he came on against Spurs in the cup game. Although he should have buried that header...bad miss from a peach of a cross. I would agree with Delmonte that he has never regained the pre-injury form but what a pro...to recover from such a horrific injury and still perform at a very high level well into his 30s. Man's blue to the core...Big Dunc was giving him a bear hug and smothering him in kisses at the final whistle....great scenes. Hoodoo broken. I expect to win derbies more regularly now with Carlo as manager. Final words for the eyebrow...he got every decision right last night.

Yesterday's news now anyway.

Still don't think we'll make top four but great to be in with a shout. Hearing speculation Rodriguez looking out which wouldn't help. Still richarlison going well and while I would be critical of gylfi's work rate at times another assist for him and without Rodriguez arguably our most creative.

Yellow at best.

Everton are riding their luck at the moment, not creating enough chances to put teams away when on top and have held on for the last two wins when under pressure at the back.

Allan made a fair bit of difference when he came on last night, Gomez giving the ball away too much, Iwobi offering very little either. Dacuore needs a rest.

Wouldn't be overly impressed by Gomes whether it be that injury that took it out of him or what. Allan very much needed in that midfield.

Without Rodriguez there is a lack of creativity in midfield.

Dacoure a big loss in the middle.

I'd give King a start the next day out, DCL looking tired.

The Chelsea's, City's and Manu's are a step beyond Everton ATM, but the rest in the fight for a 4th spot Everton can give a real rattle.

In a nutshell.

City have some of the best players in the world in their ranks, no shame in giving them a good go for 70 odd minutes but ultimately coming up short when the spring De Bruyne and Mahrez off the bench.
I think Mahrez is a brilliant player and he was English he'd receive far more headlines.

Everton had their third choice keeper in and with Keane and Dacoure injured they were missing two of their better players over the season, let alone a bit of spark James gives them.

Not surprising.

Ancelotti picked a formation to get as many first teamers on the field as possible as the bench was filled with U23's and U18's.
He'd 4 central defenders on FFS.

For me Richarlison and DCL aren't prolific enough in front of goal. DCL is young enough but he hit the keeper in the coupon with an open goal in front of him. Richarlison isn't an out and out striker anyway and both seem a bit jaded. I've liked the cut of Kings jib with the few cameo's he's made when introduced and would like to see him start the next two games.

Holgate had another mare at RB and maybe should be moved on if they secure Max Aarons in the summer. I'd stick with Siggy, but Gomez, Delph, Bernand and Iwobi need their P45's for a start.

Rodriguez isn't going to play three games in a row for Everton but I'd keep him for he at least can pick a pass even if he needs Allan and Daucoure to cover his arse defensively.

Hope Ancelotti sticks it for another year and is given a few bob to pull in some lads, but the Europa league is probably all but gone as well..

Post by: imtommygunn on May 17, 2021, 09:36:58 AM
DCL is not a composed finisher. If he's one on one I'd give him a 5/10 chance of scoring. Top class strikers you would probably have at an 8 or 9 out of 10 chance.

Holgate gets hammered by everton fans. By all accounts he's on the way out.

Delph has been on of the worst transfers in everton history and that is saying something.  Richarlison is hard to work out. Unsure on his best position. I am not sure his heart is in it at everton. Gomez should have been so good but hasn't been. By all accounts Bernard has been really struggling with depression.

We need at least 3 or 4 new players.

In a serious note though, that's pretty bad about Bernard. Always thought he was technically good but just too watery. If it's depression you can understand how he would struggle. Hope the lad is alright

Look we can laugh at Everton but seriously Sheedy do you believe that the club can do the clear out that is needed and reinvest appropriately?  If things are to be believed the new stadium will coat 1/2 a billion. The players that are there are not good enough. There was such a big deal about James and he's fucked off to South America. Youse are still relying on Siggurdson, Coleman and a few others. Richarlison is so overrated but will leave in a heart beat at the first show of knickers from a Spanish team or a team in London. Calvert Lewin is a streaky striker who was shit hit pre-Christmas but tailed off badly. Pickford is a liability. You genuinely would need 5-6 players to move to the next level but can you get them without European football?  I genuinely don't think so. It would seem to be a continuous mid table mediocrity

spot on, can't argue with that. Regarding a clear out the first 3 players that need to be out the door are Iwobi, Delph and Bernard, all on massive wages and all absolutely stealing a living. Pickford has been solid enough the last few months and along with Godfrey has been Everton's best player. European football would've been massive for the club and the fans and without it its harder to attract the better players. As season that promised much up until about March delivered the same outcome as other years.

Ancelotti has been upfront about Everton's woes and brutally honest. He said most of his players were more comfortable without the ball and playing a direct style of football which isn't what he wants especially against the so called minnows like SU, Fulham, Newcastle who came to Goodison and all lifted 3 handy points without this Everton team laying a glove on them.
I like Allan and Doucoure but they need at least one good playmaker with them if not two. Rodriguez has been a success IMO but don't be expecting him to play week on week, he's never done that in Spain either. Sigurson has had some good spells and some ropey ones as well, I'm undecided on him..
DCL has been good, but not great as the saying goes. Needs to finish a higher percentage of chances and also create something for others which I think he's poor at.
Walcott is gone, hopefully quickly followed by Iwobi and Delph with Bernard already as good as gone. All three on sillyly high wages by Evertons standards.

Kean at PSG is a strange one. Wanted by some better clubs than Everton and IMO Everton should leverage that as much as possible to get someone else in with the spoils or a swap..

If this summer isn't a busy one I'd expect to see Ancelotti temped by a move elsewhere which would be a big blow.

Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: imtommygunn on May 24, 2021, 09:24:16 AM
Sigurdsson needs sold JC. Not prepared to put the foot in at all and not enough work rate. If you are really creating and/or scoring you can get away with it. He isn't. If a team revolves around him he can be good but we have better players than him.

DCL should be a fringe player. One on one I would have him up there with the same chance of scoring as Shane Long. He hit a good run but he's not the kind of striker will get you into the CL.

I like Allan and Doucoure too. I think in the rest of midfield we struggled though and they were out a good bit with injuries. Rodriguez tbh seemed to completely go off the boil whenever he started getting kicked and wasn't getting protection from refs. I would question whether he would be the same for Everton and whether his heart is in it. Huge talent though.

Kean at PSG is very strange. I still wouldn't have him near the place.

David Ornstein who is generally on the money about a lot of stuff has it as a done deal. Nuno stepped down from Wolves expressing a desire to spend more time in Portugal with family as he found the pandemic harsh so don't know if he would be an option.

You HAD a top manager, and he up and left the first chance he got when a top tier club came calling.

I would fancy Rafa to at least get Everton pushing for Europa spots consistently. If you can get that, and get the stadium built in time, you might be in a position to attract someone with a bit more potential.

Rodriguez and Mossy Kean are not the issue for Rafa. Building a central core of the team is what he has to do. Pickford seems to have found form, Keane and Yerra Mina are a bit meh, MF is solid, functional but aging, DCL is a good CF. He needs to build a better engine room, Rodriguez and Kean will only contribute to that from a financial perspective and I don't believe they will raise that much money to be honest

Ben Godfrey is a good CB...

Need a new RB as Seamus is getting on and Holgate isn't a RB and not great cover. Need shot of Gomez and Iwobi as soon as. Iwobi has and was a risk buy and proved to be dung.
I'd keep siggy though even if he's getting on in years and get a few halfs out of him.

I'd also have kept King as I thought he looked dangerous when he did get a chance but with one up top he didn't get much opportunity..
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: imtommygunn on July 01, 2021, 11:12:01 AM
Needs rid of Holgate too. Siggy I'm not too sure about. More cover needed for midfield and probably a striker too. Best 11 midfield isn't bad. Central defense, godfrey aside, ropy enough.

It'll do the opposite. It will allow liverpool city council regenerate more of the area
And the proposed stadium was only one of the developments listed
Amazing they can decide this without visiting the city

Rafa off to a good start after a warm reception from the Goodison faithful. The opening 45 minutes was pretty dreadful with Keane's horrendous mistake punished. Rafa must have flung a few tea cups at half time, as well as tweaking the system because the tempo and desire was much better in the second half. Richarlison and Doucoure both excellent. I thought Gray and Townsend both done ok on home debut. Looking at the opening 10 fixtures, it looks kind of favourable....but ye just never know. We need more signings. Right back and a bit of creativity in the middle. Expect James and Kean to be shipped out and whatever money is raised from those sales need to be spent.

Bargain basement signings proving to be inspired but he'll need Allan and Doucoure to keep fit as they were instrumental in all things good for Everton last year as well. When either or both were injured Everton were porous as hell.

Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend are obviously talented players, it's just whether they can maintain a level of consistency over a long period of games. Everton started last season well before it tailed off, so hopefully they can keep the early season form going.

Rodriguez and Mossy Kean are not the issue for Rafa. Building a central core of the team is what he has to do. Pickford seems to have found form, Keane and Yerra Mina are a bit meh, MF is solid, functional but aging, DCL is a good CF. He needs to build a better engine room, Rodriguez and Kean will only contribute to that from a financial perspective and I don't believe they will raise that much money to be honest

Ben Godfrey is a good CB...

Need a new RB as Seamus is getting on and Holgate isn't a RB and not great cover. Need shot of Gomez and Iwobi as soon as. Iwobi has and was a risk buy and proved to be dung.
I'd keep siggy though even if he's getting on in years and get a few halfs out of him.

I'd also have kept King as I thought he looked dangerous when he did get a chance but with one up top he didn't get much opportunity..

Told you so..

Something like that.

He left because he knew Ancelotti wouldn't play him then a week later Ancelotti píssed off to Madrid..

Brands should have called a halt to that transfer out, or at least tried to delay it as it was well known Madrid were after Ancelotti.

Rondon was a freebie but holy lord, he's still too expensive at that.

Good man you group everyone together. Sure didn't Liverpool fans wreck the man city bus - classy as always eh? (I don't believe that btw - there are bad elements in ny fanbase but some people can't seem to distinguish that). Liverpool and everton fans have been very united over hillsborough, the unfortunate deaths (look at the clapping last night) of young children in liverpool and various other things. So your comment is poor tbh. The guy if he did what you said he did will probably get banned from goodison if it's investigated and reported.

Benitez never should've been appointed manager, it was never going to work. The fans especially the away fans have turned on him and once that happens it never ends well. The football as you say is boring and negative and for a supposedly defensively minded manager the team is shockingly set up. Too easy to score against and too easy to beat, relegation is a definite possibility.

They could be pulled into it over the next few games as I see Richarlison is out for a few weeks and DCL still not back so goals will be hard to get.

Ancellotti got 59 points last season with basically the same squad which most other years would comfortably have got European football, this year it's 4 points from last 30 available and the football is shocking, the fans are split and disillusioned.

Ancellotti had a front line of DCL, Richarlison, James, Sigurdsson, Walcott, Iwobi, & Bernard. This season they haven't had DCL, James, sigurdsson, Walcott and Bernard for differing reasons and replaced them with Gray and Rondon. That's a massive difference for me

Walcott was at Southampton last season, Bernard only played a bit part. Sigurdsson is obviously unavailable, Benitez got rid of James, Iwobi is still there. So only difference is replacing James and Sigurdsson with Townsend and Gray who many said were an upgrade. Rondon signed by Benitez again, less said the better 🙄

There are 3 worse teams than everton in my book too, but things would need to pick up a little as it is very easy to get stuck in a rut.  If DCL comes back firing, that will be massive.

Norwich were atrocious last night.  That's one that's defo worse.

Mina a big loss also as he seems to be the big fúcker that holds the defence together, they're a bit lightweight without him. Hamstring will keep him out for another good few weeks.

Both Ancelotti's and Bentiez's good runs were based on Allan and Doucouré having stormers in midfield and if one or both is injured or out of form then it's a shít show

Everton have a decent spine in Mina Allan Doucoure and DCL with Richarlison and Gray not bad either. The problem is if 1/2/3 of these arent around there is v v little to come in

I think yis will be ok but it would be nice to see yis sweatin for a bit 😉

Top flight since mid '50s and I think you're right that they and Arsenal have the longest run in D1 or Premier league.

Wouldn't say that but 5 of their 9 titles were pre-WW2,  2 titles in the 60's and 2 in the 80's. The 1962/63 win has a big asterisk beside it due to the Benzo scandal that surrounded the team. Although ever proven there was a whistle blower (Dunlop the goalkeeper), who claimed that the team were taking PEDs before games in the years 1961-1964.

Howard Kendall's team were very good and could have been so much more. We know the arguments about the impact of Heysel etc but even if they had made it into Europe I would question whether or not it would have made any odds. The reality is that at the same time LFC were not in Europe and created one of their greatest sides ever with Barnes, Beardsley, Aldo, Rush etc. Everton didn't really compete with that team for a few seasons apart from the few cup finals they made.

Sheedy is right about one thing, the last 25 years has been an embarrassment. The club needs rooted out from top to bottom. The Board, and Moshiri in particular, use managers as a front facing target for their own inadequacies behind it. Also one of the constants of the last 20 odd years has been Duncan Ferguson, as either player or coach. He seems to have an unreal sway round the place. Not my business but if he is the face of the club then questions really need to be asked.

Would be shocked if they went down. Newcastle and Norwich are clearly worse than them. Burnley, Leeds, Watford and Southampton all much of a muchness and Everton should have enough to stay above them. They could be pulled into it over the next few games as I see Richarlison is out for a few weeks and DCL still not back so goals will be hard to get.

Had to lay the blame at Rafas door all the same. The quality is simply not there and no matter how much coaching some get, they are still shite!
Ancellotti got 59 points last season with basically the same squad which most other years would comfortably have got European football, this year it's 4 points from last 30 available and the football is shocking, the fans are split and disillusioned. The club are lucky Newcastle, and Norwich are as bad as they are.

Ancellotti had a front line of DCL, Richarlison, James, Sigurdsson, Walcott, Iwobi, & Bernard. This season they haven't had DCL, James, sigurdsson, Walcott and Bernard for differing reasons and replaced them with Gray and Rondon. That's a massive difference for me
Walcott was at Southampton last season, Bernard only played a bit part. Sigurdsson is obviously unavailable, Benitez got rid of James, Iwobi is still there. So only difference is replacing James and Sigurdsson with Townsend and Gray who many said were an upgrade. Rondon signed by Benitez again, less said the better 🙄

Everton consistently had a front 4 of DCL, James, Richarlison, and Sigurdsson last season. This season they've had Richarlison, Gray, Rondo, and Townsend...you think Rafa should be getting the same note outta those 4?

Look at the line up they have out today...absolutely brutal and you expect them to be getting similar points to last year?

Ancelotti was still in charge when King was let go, big mistake by Brands and Co as it was pretty certain that Ancelotti was going to leave in the pending weeks but it's done and dusted now.

As for last night. it was always going to be a rear-guard action for most of the 90 minutes and it was that alright.

Impressed by Branthwaite, not only for his goal but the way he came out with the ball and showed a bit of composure with it, sorely lacking from others at times, Gordon showed a bit more tonight as well, looked to be a bit more central, Godfrey seemed more assured at LB than at the weekend and managed to get forward more.
I liked the cut of Dobbin when introduced, highly regarded in the youth ranks at Everton and has a sharpness in his movement and touch.

Benitez might get a little less grief from the Everton supporters if he played the young lads more often than Rondon and Iwobi.

Left back and right back bought this window already so that's progress although almost certain Digne is gone but if he goes for the £40M being muted then that'll cover the cost of these other two lads and some to spare.

Don't know much about them but can only be better than playing Hogate (period) and Godfrey out of position. Godfrey needs to be a centre back along with AN OTHER, Keane is having a mare at the minute so I'd prefer Branthwaite in there TBH..

He was critical of Benitez's defensive set ups.

Can't say they've been a success as Everton leak goals like a sieve

He was back in the matchday squad for Sunday past, but chose to play Coleman as a left back instead and Godfrey as a right back.

there's no chance anyone is paying 40milllion for Digne especially knowing Benitez wants him out. 20-25 million max.

Benitez is just a stubborn man. every supporter knew Rondon was a waste of space yet he kept playing him, Gordon offers far more even though he is a different sort of player.
He will also pick players just to prove a point (as with Rondon)
He is tactically brutal, when compared to the previous manager

Rafa is a football hero of mine for so many reasons. Istanbul, reviving and reforming a lot of the ways of the club, how he managed himself and the club under the dreadful tenure of Hicks and Gillett and most importantly what he has done outside of the playing and management side through his work with charity around the city and the Hillsborough campaign. People talk about how managers or players 'get' a club, each club has its own identity and Rafa clearly for LFCs identity. He also 'gets' the identity of Everton and the city as a whole.

All that being said he is going to fail at Everton as the expectation is too high for the level of players that are there. Also I think tactically he is stubborn and this is his great blind spot. I honestly believe if patience is shown he will improve them dramatically but he is hampered by the clusterfuck of previous transfer policies and he has to operate on a shoestring. He needs 3 more transfer windows to change that. He won't get it as the expectation is that there must be immediate success. Everton need to stop the chop and change policy of management but they won't.

Benitez has been successful pretty much every where he's gone.  Probably the wrong choice for Everton given his LFC connection but a lot of clubs would be lucky to have him.  It's gotten to the stage with Everton that the fans need to stop focusing on the manager and look at how the club is run.  There have been some good managers there over the years and they've all struggled.

if Benetiz is given to the end of the season there's only way he's going and that's down, 6 points from the last 36 available, nobody has worse form than that. The only thing that might save everton from relegation under Benetiz is fact Norwich, Burnley and Watford are in the league..

I actually do believe he could do a job if given a chance. The players there are very poor but his attitude with Rondon could be his downfall. I do hope he is given at the very minimum until the end of the season.

They might get pulled into a bit of a fight but the reality is they are lucky there are 4 teams who are absolutely abysmal in Norwich, Newcastle, Burnley and Watford. 1 of them might go on a run, unfortunately I think it will be Newcastle as I don't want them to stay up, but 3 of that 4 go down.

You never know though. I think the club need to start being honest and stop the grandstanding etc. The whole place is a shambles and the fans have been treated like fools for years. The recruitment policy has been abysmal.

There also needs to be a proper acceptance of where they are at, both among the club owners and the fans. Everton are not a 'big club'. They are an old traditional club but are not a big club. Properly managed from top to bottom they could become one as they are in a football crazy city, with fanatical fans and a solid bedrock but they have financial problems and core issues within the boardroom. Instead of booing the managers the fans should be seeing the owners for what they are and how they treat the supporters

I think with hindsight you can't blame either of them as it's evident Morshiri has far too much say in the footballing side of things.

Both Walsh and Brands were highly regarded prior to coming to Everton where they evidently weren't given the freedom to do the jobs they needed to do.

WRT Evertons transfers, yes there's been some stinkers, especially strikers Niasse, Tuson to name but a few but some of the big money signings have been good, Lukaka for one who made the club big money, Stones etc etc. Heck they even made money on Moise Kean.. Iwobi was very poor.

Doucure, Allan, Godfrey, even Sigurdson (footballing wise) and the recent Gray and the free Townsend are fine, Rondon will never get a fair crack with the fans as he'd a very poor start and will be forever associated with Benitez..

I would agree with a lot of that except Rondon and Sigurdson. Rondon is just a terrible footballer who is not near the level required. Sigurdson is fine when he has loads of space but if it gets physical he doesn't want to know and that doesn't work at all in the premiership.

Strikers are just a significant problem. I honestly think if that could be resolved it wouldn't be *that* bad though central defense could do with tightening and definitely need more pace at full back - especially as cover for Seamus.

Everton is a bit of a poisoned chalice. Any potential managers that are worth their salt will stay away.

Both Lampard and Everton are taking a chance here! Both have a lot to lose.

Not enamoured by Lampard taking over as I think it could turn out to be a disaster waiting to happen....

Is Van De Beek done?

I'd have thought Utd might have pulled the plug on that until they know more about the Greenwood "situation"

I think he is. Van der Beek hasn't had a sniff of any gametime from what I understand. Bit worried if he arrives he's another Davy Klaasen.

https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/ken-early-benitez-replacement-likely-to-be-chewed-up-by-everton-chaos-1.4784007Ken Early: Benitez replacement likely to be chewed up by Everton chaos

Owner Farhad Moshiri has pumped money into the club with little return to show for it




Rafael Benitez was always doomed to failure at a chaotic club like Everton.


On Saturday afternoon Goodison Park witnessed a kind of full house of football fury. There was the pre-match plane circling over the stadium trailing a banner begging chairman Bill Kenwright to go. There were angry messages printed on bedsheets. There was a once-beloved former player, who left the club only one week ago, who was greeted with a confused mixture of applause and abuse before setting up the winner for the opposing team. There was the hail of missiles that rained down on the celebrating opponents. There was the grim-faced club legend, thrust into an interim management role, powerless to prevent the indignity piling up around him. There were the howls that greeted the final whistle: "Sack the board, sack the board", "Bill Kenwright, get out of our club", "Kenwright & Co, it's time to go..."
Afterwards outside the ground, there was a confrontation between angry fans and Kenwright, the 76-year-old chairman whose stagey, twinkly-eyed bonhomie has become of the most infuriating elements of Everton's ongoing struggle. "Do you know how difficult it is?" Kenwright asked the fans, but for some reason sympathy did not gush forth. "We've had good times!" he reminded them. "Good times!? You've had good times!" the fans screamed back.
The worst thing that ever happened to Everton was to be taken over in 2016 by a rich investor with the promise that they could spend their way back to the top
How did Kenwright end up presiding over this empire of rage? The long-term problem at Everton is that no English club has to deal with a wider gap between expectation and reality. Everton fans know that with nine league titles they are still England's fourth-most-successful club, still ahead of the nouveau riche petro-superpowers, Manchester City and Chelsea. But many others in the game seem crassly unaware of this exceptional history, and sadly for Everton one of the people least heedful of it also happens to own the club.
     


The worst thing that ever happened to Everton was to be taken over in 2016 by a rich investor with the promise that they could spend their way back to the top. Majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri has certainly stumped up plenty of money. He has injected an estimated £450 million since 2016, meaning Everton have benefited from more owner financing than any other English club in that period, considerably ahead of Saturday's upwardly mobile opponents, Aston Villa. Just last week, in an apparent attempt to defuse the steadily increasing anger among supporters, Moshiri confirmed he had converted another £100 million of debt to equity to improve the club's balance sheet.

More than half a billion pounds has been spent on new signings, but surveying their transfer business it is astonishing to see how little impact this spending has had. How have they failed to make it stick? One reason is that even with Moshiri's largesse, Everton did not yet have the standing to compete for the best players with the established powers. In their eagerness to make up ground they ended up overpaying for second-raters. Davy Klaasen, Alex Iwobi, Moise Keane, Jean-Phillippe Gbamin, Theo Walcott and Cenk Tosun all arrived for fees of around £20 million, and all failed hopelessly. Everton's best signing under the Moshiri regime is probably Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who cost less than £2 million from Sheffield United. He was just the sort of signing they could have made before Moshiri came.

The failure to attract genuinely top-tier talent was compounded by the inability to settle on a long-term direction in terms of club philosophy and playing style. Everton keep lurching in different directions. Moshiri's basic approach is to throw money at established names, but he never seems to have settled on an overarching vision of what kind of club he wants Everton to be.
Moshiri's hires seem guided by the crudest heuristics: do they have name recognition? Have they done okay in their most recent job? Do they seem plausible?
Steve Walsh was poached from Leicester to become the new director of football in 2016, after he was widely hailed as a genius for signing N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez. Legend has it that Walsh wanted to sign Andy Robertson, Harry Maguire and Erling Haaland for a combined £25 million, but instead he somehow ended up spending nearly 10 times that amount on the likes of Yannick Bolasie, Morgan Schneiderlin, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Michael Keane, and so on.

After two years Walsh made way for the Dutchman Marcel Brands, whose strategy of signing big-club cast-offs like Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes, Digne, Allan and James Rodriguez soon left Everton with a bunch of ... big-club cast-offs, all of whom were wrestling - with varying degrees of success - to overcome the personal disappointment of feeling they had come down in the world.
That feeling also seemed to afflict some of the managers Moshiri appointed, some of whom seemed to think themselves too good for the job. Ronald Koeman and Sam Allardyce have feuded with Everton since leaving, Carlo Ancelotti jumped ship at the first opportunity. Again, Moshiri's hires seem guided by the crudest heuristics: do they have name recognition? Have they done okay in their most recent job? Do they seem plausible? Questions such as whether the coach understands and can connect with Everton's culture and self-image are apparently never considered. Only that blindness can explain the crazy decision to hire Rafael Benitez, whose reign was always and obviously foredoomed. Everton is difficult enough to succeed at for any coach, let alone one who spent six years at Liverpool and disparagingly referred to Everton as a "small club".
Benitez proved unbeatable in internal warfare, winning political battles against the director of football, the head of recruitment, the director of medical services and the head of scouting in addition to the popular left-back Lucas Digne, all of whom he saw off the premises. Unfortunately, he proved unable to translate that prowess to the pitch.
The shortlist for his replacement supposedly includes Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, and Fabio Cannavaro - a typically random Moshiri pick-n-mix. Whoever does get appointed will most likely get chewed up by the Everton chaos which is beyond the power of a coach to tame. But surely the best of these options is Rooney. If Moshiri is finally prepared to admit that he couldn't identify a top coach if one came up to him and poked him in the eye, he could at least try hiring somebody who understands what Everton is.

Huge gamble being taken by Everton here, I can see relegation being a close thing.

I can see VD Beek adding something to the midfield but not Dele Alli, who if he denies Anthony Gordon game time will not be a darling of the Goodison faithful who want to see more of him and Branthwaite in defence.

If it pushes Iwobi out then that's a positive.

They have added two players who have a lot to prove.

One has not got enough game time to show if he can perform in the premier league and the others form has fallen off a cliff and three different managers couldn't get a tune out of him. The only position that Ali seems to be able to play well is off the striker and that's where most of his goals have come from.

If these don't work out it will be worrying times for Everton supporters.

Mina goes off and it goes to shíte all too quickly...

With Godfrey and Mina out, the two/three centre backs are flaky, Holgate is dodgy, Keane is having an awful run of form and Branthwaite as a 19yo needs a leader beside him and none of those others are that.

Daucoure also out for a month and Ali was pish last night to the extent I wasn't sure he was on for most of the game. Hope Frank isn't one of those lads who's going to persist with a player just because he brought him in just to prove everyone wrong like Rondon and Benitez...

first 4 games harvested 10 points, 9 points from the last 17 games is dire.

Franks going to need to pull out a few wins and soon.

Norwich have won 3 on the bounce since the turn of the New Year. Newcastle are getting stronger. Burnley are dogged and used to this type of a battle. If Norwich get a result tonight against Palace then the pressure ramps up seriously on Lampard, who as a player or manager never had to deal with this type of situation ever. Completely different mindset at the bottom than the top and he has no real leaders on the field bar a 100 year old Seamus Coleman who is going to start running on empty. A Norwich win tonight and a poor result against Leeds at the weekend for Everton makes things very dodgy indeed

Keane is having a mare of a season, he's Ok with Mina beside him, but too many errors emanating from him is costing soft goals. Stuck in the ground for that goal on Saturday evening, VAR aside.

Problem is Holgate beside him ain't great either so playing Branthwaite along side Holgate would be a huge risk for the young lad.

VDB is offering more in midfield and that's a bonus but there's no out and out striker able to put away the very few chances they create.

Relegation is going to go down to the wire this season and Everton are most definitely in the mix.

I think Watford and Norwich will go down but i have a sneaking suspicion that Burnley do enough to get out of trouble.  Everton, Brentford and Leeds all in a bit of trouble.

Norwich, Brentford and Watford for me.

I'd say the new stadium will be dead in the water, literally.
Usmanov was clearly bankrolling a lot of spending in the club through Moshiri.
I think the club will be up for sale within 6 months if this Ukraine conflict continues

The way the UK Gov is so lax on these Russian Oligarchs he's probably fine for another few years, but yes Moshiri recently put another £100M into the club, wonder where that came from??

EU starting to grab his assets. It's amazing how the UK Gov happily allow the oligarchs to sail away into the sunset effectively. Usmanov has assets worth a few hundred million in England through property, as does Abramovich yet Boris is doing nothing about them. You would have to wonder why someone called Boris wouldn't be doing anything against Russians?  If it wasn't so serious you would think it was like a Monty Python sketch!

He made a big call last night hauling Keane off who was having an absolute mare. His OG was avoidable and he and Holgate parted like the red sea time and time again and even for Kanes goal whether he was potentially fouled or not in the build up, he needs to get ignorant with Kane when Kane gets up to his sneaky stuff, Mina wouldn't have let that happen.

Godfrey and Mina can't get back soon enough if Everton are to have a sniff of avoiding relegation. Young Branthwaite was OK when he came on last night but he needs a decent defender beside him and there wasn't.

A shoot out between yourselves and Burnley I suspect, though Leeds are still potentially in the mix. I think 32/33 points will be the safety valve this year and you should be able to pick up 10-12 points in 13 fixtures.

Leeds probably more at risk than Everton but they have the manager 'bounce' maybe and if they get Bamford back he is huge. I think Brentford will do enough. There's a few games between the teams round the bottom which will be the deciders

Big, big win that didn't seem likely at all, Everton very limited in the final third throughout, Richarlison is better out left and DCL isn't sharp enough as yet, in recent weeks he's failed to get onto crosses that looked certain for the net otherwise, but fair play, he laid the ball off for Iwobi to slot home.

As for the red, definitely a yellow and right in front of the referee, so why the need to go watch the slow motion on the monitor as no clear and obvious error was made, heck even Alan Shearer thought it was harsh..
That's him out for three games, hopefully VDB can be back for them...

At least Keane and Holgate held their own tonight, so hopefully they can build upon that, Seamus stole in to take the ball off Sain Maxima that set up the goal..

Still squeaky bum time for Evertonians

You often see that about clearing the decks etc but the reality is players have contracts and unless you can get a buyer for them they can just sit and take the wages. I agree that is what is needed but it will take a 3-4 seasons to achieve that

Liverpool were 22/1 for the title in January. They are now 2/1 and might just do it.

It's a start but none of them have made any contribution whatsoever to this season. They are not your problem. Your problems are with the likes of Richie-la and DCL. Lads who should be busting a gut but have basically downed tools.  They should be leading the drive to stay up but aren't. Sunshine footballers with no balls. 
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: imtommygunn on March 20, 2022, 09:38:48 PM
Richarlison does try in his defense. He is out of position and tbh he is a dirty wee shite but he does at least try. Dcl does not and even doucoure seems to have downed tools now after looking so good earlier on in the season.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: SHEEDY on March 20, 2022, 09:42:48 PM
Richarlison definitely tries, too hard probably at times. Agree about Doucoure, he's been woeful this season and Gomes even worse
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: imtommygunn on March 21, 2022, 07:46:15 AM
Gomes yesterday just seemed like he couldn't be bothered so kicked out instead of doing any work. In doucoure's defense he had some fantastic games it has just been a long time.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: brokencrossbar1 on March 21, 2022, 10:11:13 AM
Richarlison may try but he is your main striker, main goal scorer. That's why up to £50m was spent on him. I know he can only work with what is going on around him but for the money that was spent on him and the expectation of him 5 goals is woeful. If you look at all the teams around them they have players scoring 8-9 goals and that's one of the big issues for Everton. Not saying he's the worst and the likes of Gomes etc don't seem to have the fight in them, but if you are looking for someone to get you out of it you need your goal scorers to get you goals. 4 league goals, 2 in games they've lost and 2 in games they've won,  he scored against Southampton in August and Arsenal in December. These are the only games he scores in that they won. His last league goal was Norwich in mid January. Townsend and Grey have been more effective for you boys for all the slagging of Rafa. There's a serious issue within the club and it's similar to United. It won't go away with getting new players. It's toxic from the board, to the players and to a lot of the fans.
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread

He's not a striker though and definitely not a lone frontman. If he was playing off a good striker he would be much better.

Agreed on the serious issues within the club and it's the same as united. It'll take years to fix bu players aren't playing as much for Lampard as they were for Rafa and that is saying something.

That feeling also seemed to afflict some of the managers Moshiri appointed, some of whom seemed to think themselves too good for the job. Ronald Koeman and Sam Allardyce have feuded with Everton since leaving, Carlo Ancelotti jumped ship at the first opportunity. Again, Moshiri's hires seem guided by the crudest heuristics: do they have name recognition? Have they done okay in their most recent job? Do they seem plausible? Questions such as whether the coach understands and can connect with Everton's culture and self-image are apparently never considered. Only that blindness can explain the crazy decision to hire Rafael Benitez, whose reign was always and obviously foredoomed. Everton is difficult enough to succeed at for any coach, let alone one who spent six years at Liverpool and disparagingly referred to Everton as a "small club".
Benitez proved unbeatable in internal warfare, winning political battles against the director of football, the head of recruitment, the director of medical services and the head of scouting in addition to the popular left-back Lucas Digne, all of whom he saw off the premises. Unfortunately, he proved unable to translate that prowess to the pitch.
The shortlist for his replacement supposedly includes Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, and Fabio Cannavaro - a typically random Moshiri pick-n-mix. Whoever does get appointed will most likely get chewed up by the Everton chaos which is beyond the power of a coach to tame

Moshiri's money has been a disaster for Everton and even now some fans rabbit on about the stadium, well it'll probably be the best championship stadium going when they do move to it as it's hard to see them bouncing back up if Moshiri keeps going with this higgledy piggledy style of hire-em and fireem at all levels within the club.
The only saving grace is that they seem competitive at the various youth levels and some of those players will be needed to step in next season as I can't see the likes of Richarlison hanging around in the championship..

If they go down they could be in serious financial diffs. Some players don't have relegation clauses and they are already under scrutiny by FFP. There'll be a fire sale of the best playing assets and they won't realise their full value. I'm not sure if the Stadium money is coming from a guaranteed pot or not but you would imagine this will affect it somewhat.

Next away game will be telling..

Mina should be fit, Delph just by putting a foot on the ball, playing a simple pass, closing down etc etc made a world of difference, Mykolenko had his best outing ever and looked like the player Everton thought they'd signed after a few ropey displays.

the goal took a big deflection off Maguire but at least Gordon took a shot, something DCL needs to do or at least get on the end of something, he needs to start showing more if Everton are to go on this mythical run of results..

He's certainly not threatening to take anyone on and beat them for pace nor hold the ball up which he was quite good at, know he'd a quad injury but he's still a good bit off the pace so maybe the Covid thing could explain it to an extent.

It was reviewed. Ref doesn't decide what gets reviewed. VAR official decided it wasn't an error. Contact isn't necessarily a foul. There was contact, (similar to Keane knocking over a Liverpool player in the box later) but Gordon decided to throw himself on the ground even though he was still in control of the ball. Some pace, bags of potential, but lots to learn.
Everton should take a lot of positives from the way they troubled one of the best teams in Europe.

Everton didn't get the rub of the green with the decisions on Sunday.  The second penalty shout probably should have been given (as LL said though, Liverpool didn't get a very similar one earlier this season either).   Liverpool fans will point to decisions that went Everton's way in the game at Goodison last year - a couple of 'tackles' that should have seen a straight red and a goal that was deemed offside but probably should have stood.

Burnley have Villa x2, Watford, Tottenham and Newcastle
Everton have Chelsea, Leicester, Watford, Brentford and Crystal Palace. Plus Frank Lampard

Surely it's all to play for

Whichever team gets to 36 is safe. Burnley on 31, Everton 29 with a game extra. Burnley have a 5 goal advantage as it stands in Goal Difference which could be crucial as well. I think Burnley will beat Watford and get at least 1 more win.

Leeds not clear yet and have a tougher run in than either teams. They could be the one that saves both Burnley and Everton

Just a warning for picking it up.

A lengthy ban if he threw it into the crowd, but presumably he didn't do that!

Huge win for youse if you can back it up. 37/38 points will keep you up. The home games against Palace and Brentford are where you'll likely have the best chance and perhaps Watford away as they're gone now. You should stay up

Richarlison could be looking at a few games in the stands for throwing that flare if it is done right. He didn't just lift it, he threw it back into the crowd. Elliot got a warning for lifting it but Richarlison did throw it back towards the crowd. That's pretty stupid and serious.

Player throws flare into crowd is pretty serious. "Picking up a flare" doesn't quite cover the act or it's potential seriousness.

I not sure what the punishment is guided by here but this is a serious offence and difficult to imagine that anything other than a lengthy ban is coming the lad's way

There's also the possibility of a referral to the police. Jamie Carragher got a red card for throwing a coin back into the crowd v Arsenal and was also referred to the police. Can't see the latter happening but a retrospective ban should really happen for Richarlison. Could be the sort of thing that ends his season

Don't remember the Carragher incident and am only now becoming familiar with the Elliott issue but this is very different from the latter.

No real interest in Everton but do like Calvert Lewin. A lot could rest on him as Everton do have winnable games but I just can't see Richarlison being involved

It is being investigated by the FA and there's a possibility of a 3 game ban. It was stupid and if he gets a ban it could really impact on the battle to stay up. If he does get a ban and everton go down then I'm sure everton fans will be raging at him. If he gets nothing then no big deal.

When some ballbag is waving his hands around Viera's head rather than celebrating his teams achievements and some Forest fan goes headlong into Billy Sharp then it's totally understandable why pitch invasions aren't allowed.

We in the GAA think we're above all that, but I have my doubts.

I remember when they were done away with I thought it was the GAA being a killjoy until you heard the stories of how much players preferred it now. They can celebrate and share a special moment with players they have busted their balls with for years in many cases & also as much for the losers. Bad enough you have lost an All Ireland final but then have to dodge a lot of eejits, and I do think it would be much worse now.

Massive win. Fair play, although a pitch invasion probably a bit much  ;D
oh hello it's the celebration police 🙄
it's passion, emotion, relief rolled into one. Anyone that has any connection to a team in any sport can see that.

Reminded me of All-Ireland Finals at the final whistle before the PC Brigade stopped it all. Was great to see this evening.

I don't think it was the PC brigade, have players almost to a man not said since they were abolished they prefer it far more. They can get to celebrate with their team mates without having to dodge some pissed up yahoo in a straw hat

When some ballbag is waving his hands around Viera's head rather than celebrating his teams achievements and some Forest fan goes headlong into Billy Sharp then it's totally understandable why pitch invasions aren't allowed.

We in the GAA think we're above all that, but I have my doubts.

At club level when your team wins a county title for the first time in whatever years or wins an Ulster title or more, its very understandable to see supporters charge onto a pitch and celebrate with their friends/sons/brothers but of course there will always be an element of drunkards who'll f**k it up for the better natured celebrations that an occasion like that will bring!

It's kind of hard to feel sympathy for that fan getting a kick from Viera though obviously he should have kept his calm too... The forest fan should borderline be put in jail for what he did. With the Viera thing he's very lucky it didn't kick something messy off. The same really happened with a sheffield united player too. Palace wouldn't have been as emotional because their season pretty much over anyway but Sheffield United players etc would be pretty emotional / pissed off with the penalty loss so the last thing they want is some fans in their face.

Huge result for Everton. Honestly thought this was the season we were finally going to get it but thankfully not. Where can we see highlights / watch it back? Have seen none of it bar Viera booting a fan!

Skin of your teeth but you stay up.

The question now is how do you build on it?  This season is not a result of a bad run of results. There's been issues with the squad for a number of years. Frank has kept youse up but is he the man to really build on?  An awful lot of average players. Where can the fat be trimmed and who is likely to come in?  With Uzmanonvs money gone, will anyone of note come in?

Exactly. That Everton fan deserves zero sympathy.

Vieira should take whatever punishment comes his way (hopefully very light) but he did what most people would do. That idiot is lucky Vieira didn't deck him like Clough did all those years ago.

So the money should override a person's reaction to a twat who shouldn't be on the pitch and goads him face to face, but you can't react because he's paid obscene amount of money? Ok seems legit

Why does salary matter?

If you're walking through your workplace (or anywhere) and some sc**bag comes screaming obscenities and poking his finger in your face, your just supposed to take it if you're a well-paid celebrity? Including at the end of an event when your own emotions and frustrations are at peak levels?

Its not part of Vieira's job description to have to walk across a football pitch with thousands of gloating fans screaming abuse at him and physically interfering with him.

Especially given the other shit that's gone down this week at multiple other games.

Croke Park only has been abolished and that was for insurance reasons. Pitch celebrations continues elsewhere for club and county matches and kids are allowed onto the field for a puck or kick around at half and full time in games which is great to see.

a small number of the fans of another team are more scummier this week than the supporters of the team you support. That could swap round next week but this week it's going to be used for point scoring, am I right?

I think the point is though that yourself and manfromdelmonte never miss an opportunity to sanctimoniously stick the boot into Liverpool and its supporters.

No one is claiming Liverpool is squeaky clean. It would be laughable to do so.

But its also laughable for fans of most other clubs to pretend they've got some moral high ground.

It wasn't racial abuse.

It was just the scouse accent saying black in french, similar to the misunderstanding with the "culture" in Uruguay.

The whole Everton will take a photo op with supportive tee shirts for the racist on Sunday.  ;)

A boot up the hole was the least the scrote who jibed at Viera deserved and like the scrote who annoyed Mike Tyson on the plane got a smack in the mouth for his trouble I hope no charges are brought against Viera.

Everton rebuild.

Who stays and who goes?

DCL Stays until someone offers north of £50M, can't see it happening.
Richarlison   Gone but we need big mullah for him, £50M plus for him also. He did his bit in keeping the team up
Gomez        Gone
Allan           I'd keep
Doucure      Keep
Gray           Stays
Deli Ali        Probably stays but not up in the air about him
Holgate       Gone
Mina           Gone   Too injury prone but a leader on the field when fit, master shíthouser
Coleman     Stays but as backup to Nathan Patterson
Iwobi          In December I'd have said get shot of him ASAP, but he turned things around, he gets another go
Davis          Gets to christmas
Rondon       Goes
Keane         a bit meh, he goes.

I'm not sure if Coleman will stay on. I hope he does but he doesn't have much left in him.

The whole central defense should be cleared. Only until the last half  dozen games there I wouldn't have been sold on Pickford.

Ali is a waste of time and money. An unspoken thing here but a major factor in the games we did well in was Delph being fit. How do you keep him fit though?

Rondon would barely make it in the LOI. Allan and Doucoure had good moments but they flattered to deceive a bit. However they are worth keeping.

I would still get rid of Iwobi but you'd never get the money back.

I like Branthwaite, tall, pacy, but a lot to learn, Godfrey I like but due the odd moment of madness, another centre half required, Tarkowski on a free maybe.

Striker wise, good ones are thin on the ground and if DCL does go to Newcastle then whatever money is raised in DCL and Richarlison needs to go on them.

Would love Bissuma of Brighton in midfield but why would he come to Everton.

I think Godfrey has potential but he needs a good experienced partner and he wouldn't have that at everton.

If DCL were to go we'd be in bother for a lack of strikers.

Regardless of what you think of Richarlison he has been Evertons best player and main source of goals for the last 2 years. They are really reliant on DCL to stay fit and keep scoring or else they are in serious relegation trouble, again

Best of luck to Everton but I can't help thinking that the owner, big Frank and Dele Alli are all a bit flaky

Huge gamble being taken by Everton here, I can see relegation being a close thing.

I can see VD Beek adding something to the midfield but not Dele Alli, who if he denies Anthony Gordon game time will not be a darling of the Goodison faithful who want to see more of him and Branthwaite in defence.

If it pushes Iwobi out then that's a positive.


Dele gone on loan, I was right about him, but in the interim Iwobi in a more central position has proven to be a qualified success.

Probably says more about how far Everton has fallen....

A bit underwhelmed with Maupay, a bit of a step up from Rondon, but not a lot..

Ben Brereton Dìaz in the mix, can't say I know a lot about him either.. 23YO banging them in for Blackburn. You'd hope wouldn't be silly money and probably a better option long term.

Good win, looking solid at the back, something that's been missing for a long time. Coady, Tarkowski and Patterson brilliant again. Onana looks like a great signing.

Berated by everyone including myself but he's turned out to be a great centre midfielder, comfortable on the ball, an assist yesterday and tracks back like a demon..

Completely different player. He was always big and strong and had skill but he seemed to be a bit brainless by times. The freedom in a more central role probably has allowed him to flourish and Lampard must be able to get through to him.

In fairness Lampard has steadied the ship but you will still struggle to score goals. Coady and Tarkowski have brought a lot of organisation to the back and that has helped.

Frank was never the man for the job, was very surprised when he was appointed. Not sure David Moyes is the man to bring back either. First and foremost they need to stay in the Premier League.
Who they hire is gonna be a big call if indeed Frank is sacked.
Maybe someone like Lee Carsley to steady the ship, apparently he is highly thought of in the England set up. Might be a bit much to give him a club like Everton as a first job but I can't see any big names wanting the job.

No managerial change imminent at Everton

Alistair Magowan

BBC Sport

Everton boss Frank Lampard is set to be in charge for the team's FA Cup tie at Manchester United on Friday.

The former Chelsea boss met with the Everton hierarchy on Wednesday to discuss a 4-1 home loss to Brighton on Tuesday.

Everton have won once in 10 Premier League games and have now slipped into the bottom three on goal difference after results on Wednesday night.

It is understood the club wishes to give Lampard time to turn things around after a more collegiate approach led to his appointment last January. But there are still doubts about his future if results continue in the same vein.

A lot of poor players alright, but still not getting the best out of the ones there is the major problem.

The value Richarlison had on this team last year is only being seen now that he's gone and not replaced.

Maupay was always going to be a poor replacement and was money wasted yet again.

If you use their wage bill as a gauge they're definitely due a huge bounce. Obviously it might not all be Lampard's fault but you'd be hard pressed to do a worse job with them.

Getting relegated for Everton may be the best thing to happen to them, for their long term development.  It seems the constant dicing with relegation and staying up by the skin of their teeth, isn't enough to bring about change.  Maybe they need to hit rock bottom.

I'd say there's a concern that they do a Sunderland, and drop down a few leagues and struggle to get back up.
Yeah I think Sunderland's big problem was they hadn't relegation clauses written into some of their over inflated salary packages. Jack Rodwell in particular bled them dry in their championship season and they dropped again.
So it's not always so simple to drop a level and simply reset. For a club like Everton, a permanent fixture in the PL, the notion of putting a relegation clause into a contract might be very alien. If you have grossly underperforming players on bloated contracts and they do drop, they simply will not take a wage cut and leave the club. And no sane PL club will match the contract. So depending on circumstances, rock bottom might not always be where you think it is.

Some truth in that as Lampards win percentages was something like 27% and he'd taken over from Ancelotti who was on 46% with a similar team.

He honoured his contract. I don't think it is fair to blame him. Clubs are ruthless and cut many people loose after relegation and when they turn 18 / 19 loads of players are released. He signed the contract in good faith and honoured it. Sunderland were happy to play a Adam Johnson to keep them up when it suited them.
If Everton don't have relegation clauses they may get onto the players agents to get them shipped on because they're going down.

Let's be honest he's been shit. Lucky enough last year - good win against Chelsea I think bailed us out.

There's a lot going on with board level too in his defense but he has not done a good job.

Lampard, like Gerrard, needs to properly earn his way up the chain to the Premier League, either by being manager lower down the chain, or working under someone in the PL.

Neither would have gotten anywhere near the jobs they had if not for their previous status as elite-level players.

It's not a case of blaming, more a case of pointing out a situation a club can find themselves in. He refused to play in championship even though there was apparently nothing physically wrong with him. Think manager at the time said mentally he was in the wrong place. The ifs and buts are irrelevant though, Sunderland had a player they were paying 80K a week (the wages of a full team in that league), he wouldn't play and they couldn't sign cover because they were hamstrung with their wage bill.
And if Everton find themselves in a similar boat, it won't matter one bit what they tell the agents. A player has to agree to a move, and if he is on a long term contract and the new move is a much lesser contract, he will simply stay put. They have a lot of players on 100-120K contracts so relegation could get very messy if they can't shift them.

don't know what games you've watched but the back 4 are terrible. Mykolenko is worst left back in the league, Coleman brilliant servant but best days behind him. Mina injured more often then not, Cody limited enough and Tarkowski has been in poor form. Only for Pickford they wouldn't have the points they have.

Not convinced about Dyche, he's definitely got his work cut out, needs a few signings asap

Post by: Look-Up! on January 27, 2023, 02:54:46 PM
I think a younger Allardyce is exactly what Everton need right now. Circle the wagons, give them a structure, initial priority defensively focused on clean sheet, clean sheet, clean sheet. Then look at scoring goals and getting up the table. Ideally appointment would have been made a little earlier to get some preferred signings in. Is Dyche that man? Maybe.

Bielsa might be a better long term option or "fit" for Everton but right now they absolutely have to stay in PL. And that will require pragmatism as opposed to steadfastly sticking to a football philosophy.

In fairness I did say on paper their goalkeeper and back 4 aren't too bad. Maybe getting a defensive enough manager in will get them organised and a bit more difficult to play against. Lampard looked like he didn't have a clue in that regard.

Fine margins chaps. That header goes in pool wouldve been well up against it, low confidence etc, and dyche wouldve had a back 9 rest of eve. Better chance of stayin up now hes at the helm.

Agree about pickford. All that posturing. Hard boy to like
Understand the goal might have made a completely different game and maybe invigorated Everton but they showed nothing and didn't deserve a break.

I don't think I'm being harsh. I watch a bit of PL if it suits but there's not many games I'd go out of my way to watch. Last night was one of those game I was looking forward to but really disappointed.

The reality is. from an everton fan, there's a reason everton are in this position. You especially look at the striker area and DCL is permanently injured yet no one is brought in or no one can be brought in. So no strikers and then the defense is questionable pace wise. You look then at squad - Tom Davies is bound to be one of the worst players in permier league history and then he's coming off the bench...

Pickford's a tool but he can be very good. He's not consistent though.

Of course you have to work with what you have but they put in a shift against Arsenal so I would say it's an attitude problem more than a talent one. The gunners must have been fuming looking at them last night  :D.

One thing I have to admire about Pickford, any normal human being last night would have dug a hole in the pitch and covered themselves over. But he struts around like he owns the gaff.

Completely gambling on the ball going to Gakpo. Really bad read of it but if it had gone to Gakpo and he saved it he would be lauded as brilliant so it was a gamble worth risking.

Everton will survive this season. Dyche is the sort of manager who will make them really hard to beat against the teams around them and they'll score enough goals from set plays to win those games.

The next 3/4 games determines where they end up. Lose to Leeds and they are starting to drift away from the pack. Win and it's all on again
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: J70 on February 14, 2023, 07:36:12 PM
Fortunately for Dyche he has plenty of time and only needs 18-20 points to more or less guarantee survival.

That's achievable for him once he gets that squad organized.

The bottom 3 is very fluid

Everton are on 21 points after 23 matches. Say they need 39 points. That's 6 wins or 5 wins and 3 draws from 15 games.
It's really about the defence. It doesn't matter how the goals go  in.
Everton need LWLWL or LWDDD as a minimum.

Most bottom teams get LLWLL
In the last 5 matches of last season the bottom 6 teams won 4 out of 20.

He's 22 going on 30 by the looks of it.

At least he went past someone and put the ball in the net, something Maupay hasn't managed and doesn't look like he could..

DCL and Simms need to carry more threat in the last 10 games as 40 points most definitely will be needed
Title: Re: The official Everton FC Supporters thread
Post by: imtommygunn on March 20, 2023, 10:24:58 AM
DCL will come back and get injured again. I think Maupay is borderline a write off at this stage.

That's a good point. 11 points for Dyche is a good return and you consider he has the same wins in 7 or 8 as Lampard in 20 it shows you it was the right decision. I think United are there for the taking as they are off form. This is a hard run of games and taking points in it could be the difference come end of the season.

Other teams starting to take points now too. I would be pretty peeved off if I were wolves from the ref performance saturday. Leeds losing would have helped lol.

Forest and Palace sliding too so hopefully that will continue.

That's 12 points in 9 games, Lampard managed 15 points in 20 games and Dyche has had Arsenal twice in there.

Get something from Manu and then it's Fulham at home, followed by Palace away, but anyone from 12th position down is in the relegation mix currently.

It will come down between Leicester, Everton and Leeds in my opinion. I think that Forest just are not good enough. Leeds are unpredictable but have the bonus of being above Everton. Leicester will likely get better under Dean Smith and of the 3 teams are the most talented. If they can get a few results over the next few games then the game between them and Everton in a few weeks could be crucial.

Liverpool play all of Leeds, Leicester and Forest over next few weeks....would happily suffer defeats in all 3  ;D

Glad Everton stayed up. The Merseyside Derby is a necessity.

The Merseyside has been non-competetive for years.

last 10 derbys has seen 5 Liverpool wins, 4 draws and 1 Everton win. Usually non competitive at Anfield but the last 11 derbies at goodison have seen 9 draws and 2 Liverpool wins, usually competitive enough at goodison at least

Heard on radio they are 3/1 to get relegated next year which is quite a big price.  3 promoted clubs coming up would expect luton and sheffield united to struggle and burnley who I think they will survive.  Forest will be ok with their home form.  If Everton don't/ can't spend money due to ffp they will struggle especially if DCL is injured again Simms/Maupay aren't good enough.

I thought the sales of both Richarlison and Gordon eased the FFP issues which were from a few seasons ago before Covid.

They haven't spent a brass farthing the last few transfer windows.

I know the stadium is a drain on resources.

There may be big trouble ahead with the FFP from what I am hearing.

Can't count on DCL at all - his injury record is ridiculous. Needs to be on a pay for play contract. Cannon who went to Preston is highly thought of though would be a big step up. Reading today they looked at Abrahams of roma in january but he was probably too dear.

A serious clearout needed. Keane needs to go, probably Coady, Davies, Holgate and the list could go on quite abit.

The option to make Coady and Vinegre permanent after their loan deals has not been taken, so they're gone

Coady may be the right thing tbh but with Mina gone then Keane or Holgate are not really up to it so he needs replaced.

There are murmurs of not but hopefully that is just internet rumours. If they don't it's ridiculous.

There's a lot to get through with financial stuff here - not just FFP but Russian Oligarchs etc too

I'm hoping Branthwaite makes the step up, but you'd need less error prone centre centre backs with him that Holgate (needs to go) and Keane (also needs to go).
Is Tarkoski and the injury prone Godfrey enough cover?

Everton have the same dysfunctional owner with revolving manager, poor buying policy and atrocious onfield results model as Man Utd. The owner needs to go.

Or last year's relegation flirters, Everton are 5th from bottom, Forest are in 12th and Bournemouth are in the relegation spots.  The 3 promoted are all below Everton.
Unless something awful happens, Everton should be okay.

Branthwaite will be gone in January to Utd and that will be awful.

Mykolenko is terrible, can't be many left backs that are worse in the league, Ashley young isn't much better. Such a downgrade from the days of baines or even digne

I don't understand why mykolenko gets so little criticism. Lacks pace and isn't big or strong. Keane is terrible buts gets the press for it. Young is probably better than mykolenko is the best I would say for him.
