Ideally I'd have Garner playing forward passes; Rohl, who can carry the ball forward and link up with the three forwards; Gueye just in behind those two.

The searching press conference questions I'd expect from the 5th estate this week: "David, taking a point away from home against an in-form Sunderland is a positive, isn't it..." "David, is it the case that more than one transfer window will be required here at Everton to make the team...

I cant make a case for his inclusion as a starting CB. If anyone last season would have told me how hopeless he is this season I'd never have believed them, but he is. Utterly hopeless.

I'd have an attack of Ndiaye Alcaraz and Grealish, tbh. Call it a false nine or whatever, but that works better than either Beto or Barry on their own up front or with someone alongside them. Time to be radical...unfortunately we have a cautious manager.

I think we're looking at 4 points from the next 4 games and dropping a place or two in the table. Three of them have to come from Fulham, btw. If we dont beat Fulham it'll be worse. Even in that latter scenario though it's inconceivable we'll be relegated. Relegation is not something we as a...

I said last night that Moyes had no right letting him start that second half without changing the attacking set up to give him a player to play off or with. He handed him 12 minutes under a failed system on the night for him then hauled him off. WTF.

Ha Ha Ha. Thanks for that response. It underlines how clueless you are.

I'm not sure what Moyes expects of O'Brien. He's a CB and everyone knows it. His own country trust his Everton team mate who Moyes wont start anymore as RB. He cant cross the ball so he's no use trying to hit the line and swing one in, so he checks back (under instruction probably) and hands...

Yes, defo. He's all about expectation management. He'll never change. The biggest miss-step taken so far by TFG was to hand him a 2 year deal. He should have been thanked for last season then shown the door.

If he'd been here this summer he'd have sorted the FB berths out straight away and then played JOB CD from the off and added another one and got shut of Tarkowski.

In a way, this whole developing mess was down to the pressure on Dyche last season that led him to walk or be pushed. If he'd have hung on we'd have survived in any case and Ilm pretty sure Iraola would her been in the dugout and now 6 months into his job having just added another £110M worth...

I said yesterday to another poster who reckoned Iraola is out of our range: he's not experienced or successful enough to get a CL spot club; but he's too good for the club he's at. Unless he has a Spanish club set up for himself I can see him as our new manager. I think his family are well...

I'd only sack `Moyes right now if someone like Iraola was available. Iraola hasn't signed a contract extension yet and if they secured him for the summer I'd be happy with limping along under Moyes.

Who's available that you'd want
