    Players coming to us at end of their careers

    I read Ashley Young article before and how much he's enjoying playing for the club, crowd. Some of my favourite players have come to us at the end their careers. Didn't stay that long but great while they were here. Richard Gough - one of the best centre backs I've ever seen play for us...

    The blame game

    Here's my top 10. Feel free to play along. 1. Moshiri - world's stupidest billionaire 2. Kenwright - created culture of failure + mediocrity 3. DBB - regional sales manager for DFS 4. DOFs - catastrophic, every one of them 5. Players - everything's been said 6. Koeman - never recovered from...

    Good/bad journalists

    Been impressed with Phil McNulty & Andy Hunter over past few weeks/months. They've written stuff that's torched the board's competence + hubris on a regular basis. (Admittedly maybe too late). McNulty was putting couple of our happy clapper, apologists straight on Twitter yesterday. Any other...

    Worst ever sub appearance?

    Might be recency bias but Tom Davies v Newcastle 2-2 is up there. Went something like this... 90 + 3 Plays sloppy ball to Digne + they score from corner. 90 + 4 Gives away stupid foul on halfway + jumps under free kick, pinball in box they score. FT Walks off pitch shirt over head (a la A...

    Next captain

    New right back incoming. Digne solid choice. But it has to be Godfrey, everything you want Everton player to be and all qualities you want in captain. Might even start standing up for ourselves

    Cheap corners

    I don’t know stats but feels like we’re conceding a lot of cheap corners lately, Newcastle and Spurs stand out. We’ve been defending set pieces really well (particularly wide free kicks) but too many cheap, avoidable corners will cause any team problems. Just needs good delivery, like Son, and...

    Defending set pieces

    Can someone explain why this seems to be working so well. Our deep defensive line scares me (we’re dropping off on to edge of 6 yard box) but we’re winning everything. Last night being a perfect example - lots of corners, wide free kicks with good delivery and we won every single header apart...

    Players you were wrong about

    DCL - didn’t see him performing at this level consistently, saw flashes early on but never expected anything like this season Delph - thought he was decent signing at the time, hoped he could’ve been Gareth Barry type for few years Barkley - loved him, thought he was most exciting young player...

    Fitness

    Not another team in PL with that lack of energy, intensity. There's no press or closing down. Yeah we're missing Richarlison but the basic lack of fitness is terrible.

    Sentimentality

    Been killing this club for years. Keeping hold of players years past their best, long contracts for kids who'll never make it at this level, senior executives and coaches given jobs way above their ability as long as they're blues. There's nothing competitive or ruthless about the club, on or...

    3 things for next season...

    Without buying a player (we're stuck with most of these anyway), here's 3 things we can do. Make Holgate captain - they've got no respect for Coleman. Sad but true. Get them fit - physically the weakest team in PL. Work on beating the press or stop playing it out from the back.

    New season - what can we actually change?

    It's two months till we start new season. Realistically the squad isn't going to change much. We all know this is on the players - the the worst group of mercenaries ever recruited by a PL club. But we're stuck with them - no-one would give actual money for most of them or pay half the wages we...

    Betting against Everton, acceptable?

    Wolves are evens tomorrow and think they might be bit more hungry, than our fearless, heroic boys

    Fitness

    They've played a lot of games over Xmas and there's a few carrying knocks but fitness levels are shocking. We were done after 60 mins. Convinced this is root of a lot of our problems. Can't keep up intensity, lose control late on, give up late goals.

    How not to run a football club...

    ...in 10 easy steps. When you finally get new investment, don’t take the opportunity for radical change. Keep the nice guy chairman who wants to be everyone’s mate and has presided over the longest trophy less period in the club’s history. Don’t change how the club operates, run it like it’s...

    Local Everton reporters

    Do reporters from Echo, City, Merseyside ever ask the manager awkward, difficult questions in pressers/interviews about why we've conceded 18 goals from set pieces and he seems incapable/unwilling to do anything about it. OK they want access to the club but I expect a bit of professional...

    We're a soft touch...

    And everyone knows it. The mercenary players/managers/agents who don't care whether we win lose or draw. Sign a contract here and you're set for life. If it doesn't work out who gives f##k, go on loan to Villa, Stoke and get 80-90k a week. The old boys club of coaches who are only here...

    Senior pros

    The worst group of senior professionals in the league. Jags, Baines, Williams, Rooney, Sigurdsson, Schneiderlin. [Poor language removed] spineless. I feel sorry for our young players, imagine looking up to them for leadership and inspiration.
