    Beto all day long.. Just hope this break hasn't disrupted his momentum.. Either way, it's his to lose now..

    I mean in the grand scheme of the PL Brentford vs Everton is not deemed a massive game by anyone 😂

    Europe of any description would be successful; top half but no Euro spot is good enough to keep Moyes his job, but not spectacular. Not in this league.

    They weren't right though. We had a great counter attacking game with bags of pace in the team and a midfield of tenacity and quality that'd put this current Everton team in the bin quick smart. Only Ndiaye, Branthwaite and possibly KDH would...

    He was a potentially great number nine before his back injury, he was bullying first division defenders and scoring for fun as a teenager. It's easy to forget that he only turned 20 in the 69-70 title winning season, during which he scored 20...

    Starting to seem like he's done his bit for EFC. NON STOP commitment during some of the worst years of ownership. Dressing room must've been so pressured. Helped us survive, but now losing the er ' pace' he had. This and the relentless guessing...

    We're on course for about 60 points....max. If you cant see that 72 points in one season for an Everton team with minimal financial backing isn't an achievement in comparison with an Everton team getting (maybe) 55+ points in a season when we...

    Yes, but now the word 'achievement' has been walked back...and rightfully so.

    When did Martinez spend £110M in one summer? Also, the PL was way more qualitatively competitive than it is now. 11th in a league like this when the so called top teams are all over the place would be unsatisfactory. Everyone knows it too.

    Very good comment. And TLDR.. this is waaaay too long a response as I'm stuck in a kin boring Teams call at work. But here goes: Brentford's rise (also Sunderland, Brighton, Bournemouth, even Palace) proves how football clubs can be successful...

    There has been a bit of revisionism since the great performance against Chelsea and the long break. Forgetting most of the other home performances For once DaveK is making a good point - the league is so packed that we are just as likely to end...

    Don't you remember dreading every single game mate. It went on for about 3 years. We were pretty much favourite for the drop at the start of every season and a relegation fight all season long. Them days have been long gone since Moyes came back...
