Do you not think he's improving all the time though? I've always liked him and you can go back probably about 18 months and find me saying that whilst he's far from the complete player, he's somebody who definitely has 'moments' and goals in him...

Well this is a double edged sword. I've heard more than one person duly note that his injury problems started when he beefed up last time. On the other hand though, his other obligations can get in the bin, he's a professional athlete who has...

Me neither tbf. I guess I wrongly assumed you were gonna say he's third. Apologies. Teach me to be a smart arse :blush:

I've heard rumours that Everton were around for 100+ years before the Premier League started. Not entirely sure it's true, but could possibly be connected to the list he's quoting?

Speaking of Heysel, further evidence of how it's been whitewashed from history is their use of the 'bitters' tag. That's where it stemmed from, yes we were bitter at how events affected us; why shouldn't we have been?. It's taken on a life of...

I guess he was trying to replace Lukaku and backing himself because as you point out the club weren't exactly replacing him either. Fair play to him for that considering Lukaku was then a £90mil player and very tough to replace. Was looking good...

Ah, fair enough. Not quite as bad then, but we all know that at that point we'd still not replaced Lukaku, Dom had still not hit double figures in the league, and just because he was better than Sandro doesn't mean we didn't absolutely need a new...

yea just checked it there, replied above it was the 2nd season of Sandro and Dom was already playing regularly up top he asked for it in 2018 but got it in 2019/20

That lines up with my view of how Dom sees himself. It's good that he backs himself but having a cob on because they wouldn't give you the 9 after he had hardly kicked a ball for us and was still in Chermiti role of youngster knocking about the...

Well we signed Sandro in summer 2017, so I'm assuming that no context was left out of the post I was replying to and that's when he asked for it. I've no problem with players fancying themselves, in fact it's needed if truth be told, but at that...

He asked for the number 9 shirt in 2017? Did nobody think to remind him that he'd scored the grand total of 1 Premier League goal up to that point? :lol: Sandro is still a weird one. I don't what's weirder; the fact we paid him so much money or...

Yeah Richy is one of those strange examples of a player who it’s really difficult to actually pinpoint a position for. His goal threat and workrate made up for his poor technique and made him undroppable, but it’s the main reason why I would be a...

A draw still could’ve kept them up if Leeds had failed to beat Brentford. The fact is they lost at home to a team that had nothing to play for. We can do ifs and buts til the cows come home but the facts are what they are. FWIW I am thankful we...

Yeah, get what you mean. I've never particuarly rated Richy as an out and out striker or number 10 of sorts. He's a wide player for me. I just think having that foil opened up space for him at times that he just doesn't seem to get as much of...

Well they won 7 games that season. They drew 14. I'd say they'd have fancied their chances of snatching a draw a lot more than they had belief in winning the game. All if's buts and maybes though, but I think it's far frrom guaranteed we'd have...
