    Im not making it a competition. I’m just putting my opinion across. There a few staying Tim, is better and has more potential etc etc. Just Tim is 23 this summer and Armstrong has just turned 19. I’m not sure Tim improves on a lot of his...

    Yeah 'assists' is a bit blunt, you can obvs break up a move and initiate an attack without getting an assist. But the fact he'd get maybe 0 goals, assists at the moment shows how lacking his general forward involvement is, be that passes...

    I can’t stand the modern obsession with reducing players to goals and assists. It’s possible for midfielders to dominate a game and provide neither. He’s excellent at tackling, shielding the ball under pressure and beating the press. His passing...

    Yes. In general he will outperform his budget and get European qualification or at least challenge for Europe.

    I gave an unbiased post on DM not that he has been perfect a 5 out of 5 management effort this season when I feel with better signings we could be in a European play off place easily ! Our home form has let us down not the new stadia his team -...

    Ironically, it is a missed opportunity because of the ability of Moyes as a manager. He is one of the reasons why we have the feeling that missing out on a European would be seen as a disappointment. I was expecting us to be hovering around...

    Its not a moan its facts - no decent overlapping fullbacks & a poor CF - ,Barry never looks like scoring a headed goal - fitting square pegs in round holes all over the park is also poor by DM & frustrating two CBS at full backs - you do not see...

    I think the biggest/ only disappointment with Moyes is realising how little he's changed. He was always a safe bet ( unless you're Sunderland ), struggles to break teams down tactically and with subs. I get all that and think the only area...

    I find it a bit depressing that getting Everton to 8th is generating talk of Manager of the Season if I’m being honest, it feels condescending and small time to me but hey ho. As for not being able to attract players over Chelsea or City, we...

    Undecided on Tim. Overall, I don't think he's good enough, no assists, no shots. MF's HAVE to do this, even if their role is too primarily block/ break position moves. I fundamentally don't get this position anyway. What Southgate even once...

    If true, it's ridiculous. You can't not inform your club of something like this. Equally if true, its laughable EFC's dialogue with the player didn't result in an agreed plan for where / when he'd prefer the procedure.
