Regardless or how it happened, losing today was always going to be difficult to justify. Yet again we've been the better team and yet again we've failed to put chances away. I'm actually more bothered/concerned about conceding from set pieces...

I’m far from a Dyche fan; but last night was perfect in terms of tactics. He played a 3-4-3 to stop them passing through, the front 3 pressed really high. The 3 centre backs split pushing the wingbacks up and therefor pushing garner and Onana...

Pretty much Let's say, for the sake of argument, that last night plays out EXACTLY as it did, with two major exceptions 1) instead of scoring, Garner skews his shot wide of the near post 2) instead of scoring, DCL hits the post with that near...

I used that in the context of explaining why there's no revisionism in terms of saying performances before Brentford were good. The stats say that, at least in terms of performance, there have been two equally good ones. Yes, results are all...

I actually agree - I think taking the game last night as seriously as we did was a gamble and I'd have preferred we didn't, but if we win on Saturday and we don't end up with any injuries as a result of the two games in a week, then it's a...

I don't know how much credibility you give to xG stats - I personally tend to think that they're a good indicator about how well teams are doing in terms of creating chances and in terms of minimising them against themselves, but it only tells...

Fulham - Good Villa - Dreadful Doncaster - Dreadful Wolves - Good Sheff Utd - Decent (deserved to win) Arsenal - Defended well, awful with the ball (but caveat here should be added re the fact we nearly went down last season and they nearly won...

It's bigoted to say he's the worst full back in the league, to have a massive stiffie for Neil Lennon (you wanted him to be our manager LOL), and to be anti the big bad blue any chance you get in posts you make. Nobody can deny he's not been...

Similarly, my vague optimism about us being OK this season hasn't really been based off the last two games. The Fulham, Wolves and Sheff Utd games all made me think there was enough there and that we were likely to be ok. Think Dyche has worked...

I'd you believe Bobble and his mate Benj, Maupay had very little to do with Thelwell

I'm sure it's easy to convince clubs to allow us to sign their better players for zero money up front. Can't believe it took him as long as it did to sign that striker in the summer. Shocking stuff.

Of course not - I'd 100% be downloading a blag copy for my Kindle

This sums up my thoughts too - surviving as a business is more important than challenging at the top - yes they're in it to make money, but who isn't? It goes back to this local mentality - if we want someone who's only in it to make Everton a...

I got an Everton credit card once :oops:

There are areas of the team we are quite short in - out wide and centre mind in particular, but if we get an injury to Branthwaite or Tarkowski then I do fear for us. Any time that Keane or Godfrey spend in the team will fill me with dread
