    The Moan Hub

    I'll second what @Swartzy said above. I dislike politics in sport. It just increases division. For 90minutes, we should be able to have some entertainment and not be lectured on the latest fru fru nonsense. For the same reason I also dislike companies or corporates making political statments...

    2022/23 Demarai Gray

    Bit of an enigma is Gray. I don't think he's suited to the single striker role at all. He should have a future because he clearly has ability, but for a reasonable offer I would also consider selling. At 26, I think he is - should be his prime years. If he isn't getting games then it's time to...

    New Everton Stadium Discussion

    I think it is doable, but you have to stick to the plan and manage expectations. Unfortunately we have had to tear the plan up every couple of years and sometimes bi-annually with some of the management choices, their player choices and the crazy wages we have paid out for contracts. Even some...

    2022/23 Alex Iwobi

    I'm going to defend Iwobi. He was, allbeit a low bar, among our best players last season. I'm not justifying the fee we paid for him that was insane. He is though reliable, plays regularly, works hard and sets a good example to the rest of the team.

    Summer transfer window 2023

    That surprises me. I had assumed Leicester were doing well financially selling players for huge fees over the last few years like Fofana for £70M and those below. They must really have messed up with paying enormous wages to bad players in order to absorb all that. It's incredible.

    Last season at Goodison

    I asked chat gpt to design a jersey. It said: As an AI language model, I cannot show images. However, here is a description of a design for a football jersey based on the Everton lock-up tower: The base color of the jersey is blue, inspired by the official color of Everton Football Club. The...

    Bill Kenwright

    I agree with this, but if I was Moshiri I'd want to keep Kenwright around (knowing that the fans are unhappy with him) to let him take some flak away from me. Whether it is that simple though, I don't know. However, I'm sure that's why the Chelsea owner, for example, kept Lampard around despite...

    2022/23 James Tarkowski

    He was good, but he can be better and while I see good attributes, I personally wouldn't make him captain. I want him to focus on improving. His passing in particular is terrible and yes, that does matter. Might take some flack for this, but I'd make Iwobi captain. He handles pressure better...

    2022/23 Jordan Pickford

    Indeed. We aren't exactly swimming in great goalkeepers battling for a place. The cautionary tale is that Leicester sold Schmeichel and their defense went off a cliff. When you consider the calibre of some of their attacking players, it was the defense that sent them down and the understudy GK...

    2022/23 Demarai Gray

    I don't really see where Gray fits in anymore. I used to think he was a good option playing behind a striker, but he doesn't influence the game enough and I definitely don't like him leading the line as a striker. So where does he play now? I don't see him starting games while we have Iwobi...

    2022/23 Conor Coady

    I would have signed him and I am surprised we haven't. Coady has limitations, but for such a small fee I do think he would still probably start most games for us or provide reliable cover if he didn't. What do we do for example if Tarkowski gets a serious injury? Can we really get by? For an...

    2022/23 Tom Davies

    Please tell me he's being released. He's just a brainless footballer that takes silly risks when circumstances don't require it. I'll never forget the time we were winning at Leicester with 5 minutes to go two seasons ago and he conspired to screw it up. It's a mentality problem. He's just so...

    2022/23 Abdoulaye Doucouré

    He's got a decent all round game and is really versatile. If he continues adding goals he becomes first name on the team sheet regardless of whoever comes in.

    2022/23 Sean Dyche

    It is, but I actually think 15th would be an achievement with the financial and other concerns which are surrounding the club. There's so much to sort out. That's not to say it can't be done faster with everyone pulling in the right direction, but I don't expect it. Even when the money was...
