The back 4 should have stayed at Garner Tarkowski O'Brien Mykolenko.

That's the solid foundation that we needed and we had it but Moyes then ripped it up.

We can still have that against Sunderland, btw.

If Moyes sees it that way but don't bank on it.

 

[Toffeelover]

He is not wrong and you are not right...

So it is okay to grab hold of any part of the opposing player to stop him ?

As I have said here before... it is baby steps, you can't run before you can walk, Rome was not built in a day, etc, etc.
I recall the traumatic ast few years... we are improving... will take time

This Rome started being built in 1878.
Where we are now doesn't need a cautious, tactically-limited approach. IOt did last season but not now.
If nothing changes, everything stays the same.

Yes, and we'll have to go with Iroegbunam and Armstrong in MF and tell them to get abut Xhaka and disrupt him.

Forgot that we had that MF position to fill ... groannnnnn. Anyway, at least we need to think and be creative with what we have and set them up to succeed.

Well he has in the recent past.

It's always said that if you give Moyes the least amount of decisions to make he'll find the right one.

Let's see if that holds true.

It better had.

 

[Toffeelover]

Well he has in the recent past.

We have to think about the now.

I appreciate your educated response, refreshing, unlike the fingers and abuse that often appear.
Anyway, since 1878, our Rome has been built, then demolished, rebuilt, ad nauseam (bit of Latin for you mate).
We strive for Nil Satis Nisi Optimun (more Latin, sorry, but the only bit that most will know) but these things go in cycles, so I repeat... tolerance, patience...

I don't know if it's always been said, but it's probably quite true.

Here's hoping that he accidentally realises that he has the reincarnation of Gary Stevens and Ray Wilson in the under 21s and all the other FB options are out.

 

[Ged G]

What can one say ? I logged off at 90 minutes could not stand another 9 when Wolves might snatch a winner.

But they didn't... you had no faith, you part time armchair supporter!!!

 

[malfosse]

Was the brick on the pitch?
PS. Bet it was emotional finding it mate, my family's will be in the next round...

Nothing better than a motivational brick launched at the players. To be fair, it would have shown more mobility than Barry in the second half. Joking aside, It was lovely seeing his name there.

Yes, it happens ALL the time. The consequences are the result of the totally subjective refs and VAR loons...

Nice one, and no doubt it cemented your relationship with your Dad.

I started with my Da supporting the club back in 1961. Am that old and live too far away to get into the stadium also might add that I am disabled so don't you think I could now support from the armchair.

You miss the point if an Everton player received such a foul such that in your book is okay ?

"It's always said that if you give Moyes the least amount of decisions to make he'll find the right one"
But THAT is true for the vast majority of people in life.
PS. Actually, is is MOSTLY not ALWAYS
