    2022/23 Neal Maupay

    Still a big if, but he reminds me a bit of Tony Cottee. Maybe it's just the low center of gravity...

    Match Thread Liverpool v Everton : Sunday 24th April 2022 : Kick Off 4.30pm

    I expect our lot will be severely butthurt after this one, but like you I'm still hopeful.

    Match Thread Tottenham vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

    Totally agree and can heartily recommend the guy Bodø/Glimt hired a few years ago. He's had a massive impact on the team and now they're not only punching above their weight in Norway but also in Europe while producing, selling and replacing sellers without much impact on continuity. The players...

    Match Thread Everton v Brentford - Up for the Cup Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

    Yes. So is El Ghazi I believe. And DCL, Doucoure, Delph and Davies are out. So it will be the same old faces, with the possible exception of Patterson and Mykolenko.

    2021/22 Frank Lampard

    A valid question in this day and age perhaps, but no sir, I am not. Just hairy, like well above average hairy. Just like Frank. And I appreciates that about him, but didn't expect to.

    Frank looks almost as hairy as me! I like him better already. Interviews well, I must say.

    Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

    Because rushing into it has proven to be such a good idea? Ancelotti won trophies, Benitez won trophies... the point is to find a good fit for Everton.

    Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

    Crap like Werner or Havertz? Wow. He might not have agreed with buying them, but he was still in charge when they did. Maybe he was just not good enough to manage them? Lampard took over a Chelsea team that finished 3rd in 18/19, took them to 4th in his first season (19/20) and was fired as...

    Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

    Why would anyone one want Frank Lampard? He managed Derby for 57 games with a win percentage of 42.1% and Chelsea for 84 games with a win percentage of 52.4%. Is that enough to impress anyone? Or he's planning a comeback as a player, because then I'd back it. Even at 43 and 240lbs he's likely to...

    Confirmed Signing Anwar El Ghazi

    Sounds like he's more like Pienaar then, in that he cuts inside rather than outside? Still odd since he is right footed and is listed as a right winger. Can we expect lots of back passes? Seems like we can never get enough of those...

    Confirmed Signing Anwar El Ghazi

    Ah, but at least he scored them! Would Wobes (Iwobi)? I'm not convinced.

    Confirmed Signing Anwar El Ghazi

    I didn't realize he scored 11 in 31 last season. Counting minutes he scored a goal every 170 minutes or 1 every 2 games. Not bad for a winger. No assists though, which is a bit odd. Can he cross? Not expecting much, but he's a blue for the rest of the season so I hope he turns out to be as...
