And players like Toney who won’t be in the mood to do Everton any favours on account of the racist abuse members of their family received from Toffees ‘fans’ last weekend. A perfect storm.

Very good player. Excellent defensively and increasingly showing that he can contribute in attack. Should become one of the best left backs in the league if he continues his current trajectory.

I’ve a good feeling about today. Lads look well up for it. I’d have Doucouré do a man-marking job on Mount: he’s their danger man. Iwobi to get a goal.

Wouldn’t be so sure about that. Marsh is a very good coach. Still not the finished product but he certainly has enough in his locker to get Leeds over the line. Next three fixtures are tough, yes. They’ll surely lose to City but games vs Chelsea (who’ll be rotating heavily in view of the cup...

Those dark arts are working SO well for Richarlison and Everton, aren’t they? Just look at Burnley: they’re in the brown stuff too but, having ditched Dyche, they’ve realized that actually attempting to win football matches as opposed to some imaginary being a nob/dark arts championship is the...

How many Richarlisons would you get for one Luis Diaz? When you frame the question like that you begin to grasp the scale of the problem. ‘Value’ is a concept that most of Richarlison’s defenders on this board and in the wider Evertonian fan base seem have difficulty with. It’s not just the...

Only if there’s been a sudden rule change awarding goals to attackers for time spent rolling around on the pitch and simulating injury. If the moron had concentrated on playing football, and made an effort to link up with Gordon in the spells when the latter was flying, Everton might have got a...

He doesn’t start for Brazil. There are at least a dozen players for clubs outside the European places who are better than Richarlison.

lol...

Under Benitez Everton had 19 points from 19 games. A point a game. Not too half form but comfortably clear of relegation in a league including Norwich, Watford and this season’s versions of Burnley and Leeds. Under Lampard the club has 3 points from 6, or 0.17 points a game. Of course there’s...

Congrats on getting your forecast right but what’s happening is that Lampard and the team are entering a funnel. No points from City and Spuds isn’t the problem: the lack of attacking fluency/ongoing defensive problems on show are. So slightly out of form Wolves are almost certain to return to...

Unfortunately, he’s not getting them. The players aren’t up to it and nor is he. Relegation beckons.

If you think Richarlison—who often looks like he lacks the ability to consistently bring the ball under control and execute short passes, and is inferior both in terms of G/A and in effective pressing—is better than Jota, let alone likely to “obliterate” him if you stick him in a top team...

A couple of pages ago someone was peddling this whole “we’ll get £80/100 million for him when he goes” fantasy. This is one of the problems with Everton. It’s not just the incompetent management, who’ve blown hundreds of millions on dud players over the past decade, it’s just not the players...

That Tarkowski tackle wasn’t nearly as bad as Richarlison’s on Thiago last season.
