    Relegation 23/24 Thread

    After the 4 wins a lot of us thought even if we'd been docked 20 points we'd be okay. Fast forward to now and the team can't seem to score anymore. Relegation is now back on the agenda. Hoping we can somehow improve in second half. Any points would be great today.

    Match Thread Everton v Aston Villa - Team Prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

    Thought we'd turned a corner after that run of 4 wins. I knew we'd hit a rough patch after injuries but i think it may be worse than that. We r getting proper worked over here after a spirited start. A draw would be acceptable for me. On paper we have all this attacking talent going forward but...

    This guy is the real deal, make no mistake. Clubs will be looking to take him off our hands sooner rather than later because his transfer fee will be massive in a few seasons. once he has matured. Will get England caps soon, that's a given.

    Is this guy just unlucky or is he inviting bad luck upon himself? This is the conundrum. Could he have had his arm in a position where it would be less likely to make contact with the ball? What would another player have done? Is it something he can improve upon?

    Relegation 23/24 Thread

    I think most of us can see Dyche is now starting to create a team in his own image. You can see we are better organised, especially without the ball. We are creating more chances when we play lesser opposition. However, I still feel relegation is a possibility. The table doesn't lie and this...

    2023/24 Ashley Young

    During the early stages of the derby, he put in some decent tackles and showed some vital experience. Unfortunately though, because of his age, he is slower than he used to be. This plays tricks with some senior players' minds because their brains still think they are capable of things they...

    Who is most to blame?

    1) The war in Ukraine 2) Financial Fair Play 3) The stadium costs 4) Moshiri - poor decision making 5) Kenwright - selfishness 6) Media bias 7) Recruitment decisions from Directors of Football

    2023/24 Dele

    I wonder, like most things in life, if the truth of Mr Ali's predicament lies somewhere in inbetween what he has told us and the opinions of some of the individuals on this thread. What we know is that he was once a coveted footballer many moons ago but for some time now has underperformed...

    Yes, just looked again. You are right!

    It's a sweatband around his forehead that looks like his hairline. It's just an illusion.

    To everyone saying we should've addressed the striker problem, we actually did! We bought Maupay! I suspect the club knew what money was available and they took a chance on him. His past record was okay for the money spent so it was presumed he would chip in with a few goals. Playing him in...

    2022/23 Dwight McNeil

    Did anyone get to see up close the foul that he gave away for their free kick that led to the first goal being conceded? There was no replay and I couldn't play it back! It looked like a perfectly good challenge to me but as I said I haven't seen it slowed down.

    It all could've been so different then if only we'd grasped the opportunity and not rested on our laurels. Maybe then this should be the officially recognised time or chronological marker that identifies when the ROT SET IN!

    Didn't know that. What went wrong then, as I seem to remember our profile wasn't the best.

    The op's question is a matter of deciding how far you want to travel back. There's no doubt Everton not being able to compete in European competition after Heysel certainly set us back somewhat. You could argue that Everton was set adrift from the big players when the sky premiership league...
