    Match Thread Everton 2-4 Brentford. Sun Jan 4th. 3pm

    And likewise, Keane is a liability at CB. He cannot mark a man and is always trying to pinch and win the ball back in the opposition half and is slower than a ship that's taken on 2/3rds of its weight in water to then get back. Tarkowski is nearly always crap when played next to Keane. As bad...

    That would really annoy me if true. That kind of thinking has held us back for years. There's no guarantee of any kind of success in sport, but you have to push boundaries to succeed. This is one of the most condensed PL seasons I can remember. A good run gets Europe. The club cannot on the one...

    Dovbyk is really slow and his holdup play seems worse than Barry's. Still, if it’s a loan we need to try something. For m e the issue is that Dovbyk is the scorer of ugly goals in the box that require service- and we don't get enough balls into the box for that kind of player. Likewise, it is...

    Dovbyk is very slow. By most accounts one of the reasons he has struggled in Serie A is a lack of pace. That would be more of sn issue in the PL. And we are so slow, I don't think we should be signing players with a reputation for being slow.

    Match Thread Manchester United 0-1 Everton Monday 24th 8pm

    Brilliant performance. Was impressed with how often we tried to play out in the first half given the fact we had 10 men. In the second half, I thought we punted it long a bit too often and a better team than Utd would have capitalised. But we were really good. Also, can't help but feel like if...

    Well Soucek is far too slow and getting slower. Ward-Prowse is another McNeil. Very slow, poor all round footballer, who has managed to wangle a career in the top flight because of an ability to take good set-pieces and the fact that when he scores they tend to be spectacular. I wouldn't have...

    Sod all. Moyes definitely needs stopping if he pursues this. He also wanted Soucek. Good God.

    That's not just on Tarkowski. That is a Moyes trait. The amount of goals we have conceded from distance late on from camping on our 6 yard line should tell you that.

    Yep. Givem how good Senegal are, they are likely to go all the way. If Ndiaye was (for argument's sake) to be out for 2 games through injury too, won't he end up missing 10 games? Imagine this team without him for 10 games. Plus, Moyes is so washed up our game plan sounds like a Brian Clough...

    Shocking performance. Believe it or not, I really try not to go in on Moyes, despite being honest that I don’t like him, but it’s stuff like that that causes it. He has very much reverted to type. Like for like substitutions only. Can't change his beloved shape, that never works anyway. I feel...

    He was like this when he rocked up 23 years ago. Though he has changed some things, that is one thing he certainly has not.

    This line up is one of those examples of why I personally don't like Moyes as our manager. I can live with a manager being uninventive and slow with team selections (even if it wouldn’t be the way I would like our manager to be), but Moyes is one of those managers that acts like poor...

    Tbh. I'm just so disappointed by Moyes' refusal to ever try anything new and different. I know we cannot expect that of him, it has always been one of his biggest and deepest flaws, but that doesn't stop it grating.

    Likely be 3 to 4 months after hamstring surgery. Then the club won't want to rush him back, then he will need to get his fitness up - he's had no pre-season. Then it's going to take him a while to get over the mental block that his body might let him down again. I think the season is basically...

    Bloody hell, so with thigh surgery that's going to be a best case scenario of 3-4 months. Could be up to 6. Factor in needing to get match fit after so long out and we aren't really going to have use of him this season. Definitely need to be dipping into the transfer market in Jan now. FB...

    Fair play to Moyes for swapping things up at half time and pushing them on second half, but I really hope this is the end of his weird dislike of Alcaraz. Alcaraz always uses the ball well, does things quickly and looks for 1-2s . If we are relying on a player like Beto or Barry, they will...

    Really, desperately poor that. Moyes is costing us big time at the moment. He has been annoying me like he used to when he was last with us this last week. Like for like subs. One around the 70th minute. Another in the 80s. Not creating anything but Alcaraz doesn't even get on. Struggling...
