I know that - it's also the last time we won in the league since the middle of December. Compare to several other games where we "had a go" and got heroically thumped as a result. It's absolutely bizarre we "played ugly" against Burnley at home... but then went to Chelsea away and tried to win...

Happy to talk about any reasons why you think that might be - because I think Dyche will try to shut up shop after getting smashed 6-0?

Spot on - I'd like to think it's not a reaction to the fans as I think he's got enough time as a manager (10+ years) to not let that get to him. Nevertheless, the coaching staff have swallowed the guff that this Chelsea team are in a bad way - they really, really aren't, and they've got a core...

Don't think he's lost the dressing room per se, the tactic set up was just naive. He mentioned in his post-match interview "the strange feeling around Chelsea, could we get into them, could we get after them" - let's be honest, most blues I've spoke to would've wanted us to go after Chelsea...

Genuine answer is because what you do off the ball is just as important as on the ball in the modern game; and Gomes offers nearly zero in terms of defending off the ball, complete passenger

Listen, heads have dropped and the off the field uncertainty has had a huge impact on the fans - but in terms of pure results, I think we've been very hard done by to not turn some of the results (Spurs, Villa, Fulham, Palace) into wins rather than draws at which point we are substantially more...

Only just come across this from our resident finance fan. It follows pretty logically to me that we're going to get stung again - the question is the severity. Seven points in total is a great outcome. Nine is difficult. Twelve... we best not lose anyone to injury from now until the end of the...

I think it probably is foregone, to be honest. I hope I'm wrong. The fact that the appeal only got 4 points back on the grounds of proportionality/severity of the punishment being too harsh with an appeal to EFL guidelines indicates to me that we've lost the argument on whether the stadium...

Might come across as a bit defeatist, but a 3 point deduction maximum on our breach for this period would be absolutely huge for us (in comparison to the 12 for breaching it twice, 6 points each).

Might be a bit of a smoking gun that in terms of another 6 point penalty down the line in May...

That's great news, I haven't been able to find anywhere to watch it at all

If the rumours are true, we'll need him tomorrow. We all want him to succeed - he was fantastic when called upon against Burnley earlier this season, despite no run of games. I'll be getting behind him.

We can still stay up even with the 10 point deduction - we've got the best backline of the 5/6 clubs that are all fighting the drop and that has already reaped dividends in the performances this season, even despite having the worst performing finisher in the league (and I've got a lot of time...

He's actually spot on there in terms of IAS 23, if the club is going to restate the prior accounts - it's an entirely decision to change the accounting policy like that Where he *might* be wrong is his estimation of the losses - but I can't make an educated guess on that one. He's definitely...

Stay positive folks, keep the faith. It'll turn

Totally understand where you're coming from and why it has come out like a rant - it is very stressful, and the management of the club certainly has been woeful - I just don't agree that this has really been the case on the stadium, I think they've been dramatically unlucky. Whether many people...

Hindsight is a beautiful thing - this is pre-covid remember (aka its before interest rates went absolutely crazy after near three decades of global policy to keep interest rates low). It's also pre-sanction of Usmanov, so Moshiri will have been able to lean on dealings with USM to finance huge...

In order to balance the books Everton need an approximate additional £1m cash each and every day during at least the rest of the current season. That is an extremely bold claim to make without disclosing workings, or any assumptions, or even just a breakdown of the figures publicly available in...

I just don't think that's true really - we definitely prioritised defending tightly, but we did the exactly the same in Dyche's first home game against Arsenal. The two big differences between those two games is that: (1) We had both DCL and Iwobi whom we could play the ball into and then get...
