    The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

    It seems like to stay up and prosper you need to turn over a large part of the team that got you promoted and there can be a bit too much sentimentality for the guys that got you there.

    Does the club need 'rebranding'? Something based around the new location?

    Everton: Liverpool's best bleed blue.

    Richarlison

    Richarlison gets fouled a lot. He was among the PL leaders at Everton. I don't love the fact that he usually acts like he was hit by a bus when he gets fouled but that skill creates PKs. But Richarlison should play that left side attacking slot that Ndiaye has been playing. Hopefully, there is...

    Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

    They need scouts that can find players ready to excel in the Premier League without Premier League experience. Teams like Brighton have done a great job finding Premier League talent outside the top leagues. That is the only way the mid-table teams can elevate near the top 4.

    2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

    It is just strange to have the team sign a new player that the manager actually wants to put in the game.

    In a proper organization, the DOF and manager are aligned on the type of players they want and use their combined knowledge to create the target list. If not, you get the situation with Dyche that they spend the limited money they had available on players like O'Brien that he didn't want to use...

    2024/25 Vitalii Mykolenko

    Mykolenko is now playing the role that McNeil should probably have when healthy, a left wing back that you want to score.

    It does make you wonder what O'Brien did in practice to get completely buried by Dyche so he could play Ashley Young instead.

    2024/25 David Moyes

    Some team with not much money to spend on players that knows they need to win 1-0 games to succeed will likely give Dyche another chance. Given the number of goals his teams have scored over the years playing his style, he has done very well at avoiding relegation.

    Hard to believe this team could play so well with Ashley Young on the bench. :p

    The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

    They need a forward. The scoring still blows. Nice win today but the goal was unrelated to any success on offense.

    Match Thread Brighton 0-1 Everton. Sat January 25th. 3pm

    Everton is doing nothing to move the ball forward against a mediocre defensive side. This is Dyche ball reborn in Moyes.

    Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

    Richarlison's real value is drawing attention and fouls. He made DCL better by the danger he presented. Spurs have mostly used him as a striker which is not his game.

    2024/25 Jake O'Brien

    Never made any sense that they paid a decent fee to add O'Brien but Dyche couldn't rotate him in to see what he could do. With Branthwaite the subject of frequent transfer discussions, O'Brien is the obvious replacement within the roster. At least play him enough to determine if he is a viable...
