    Hajduk Split vs Everton - Match Report and MotM Poll...

    Tough to choose for MOTM, four really good options, but it's Pickford for me, two massive massive saves that proved to be the difference. Aside from his shot stopping, he continued the trend of pulling off a couple of passes this match that just make you shake your head, he's absolutely unreal...

    Hajduk Split vs Everton - Match Report and MotM Poll...

    After the goal, we looked well comfortable, moment of madness from Williams notwithstanding. The last fifteen in particular were pleasing to watch, total control, no fussing around, just move the ball and hadjuk side to side and kill the tie off. Side is still crying out for a center forward to...

    2017/18 Gylfi Sigurdsson

    Brilliance of the goal aside, his creativity and ability to pick out an incisive pass were on display. We find a way to get him the ball in those pockets of space in front of the back line and he'll create chances and spray passes that lead to the final pass/cross, exactly the player we've been...

    Gylfi Sigurdsson Deal Agreed

    Quality signing, the classic number ten we've been missing, and the set pieces are icing on the cake. He's going to be excellent for us

    Romelu Lukaku

    Only the one chance, but some chance it was. So very isolated, and wasn't able to provide consistent hold up play. Disappointing, but the tactics did him no favors either

    Ross Barkley

    Was man-marked all match, whenever he got a bit of space he was dangerous and direct. Was my MOTM, speaks more to the poor performances around him than anything else, but this was another mature performance from Ross, to keep his good run of form going. Can't believe people are slagging him off...

    January Transfer Thread 2017

    Fair enough, did seem a little too good to be true. If it proves to be untrue, the signing probably won't happen, as there are too many more important holes to fill around the pitch to justify a massive fee at center half.

    January Transfer Thread 2017

    If the rumors about Virgil Van Dijk's release clause are true, we should be throwing that money at Southampton as soon as possible. He's exactly what the backline needs, and would be a perfect partner for Williams, just as Williams is the perfect partner for Van Dijk. Jose Fonte is just more of...

    God bless, Esk. Hopefully we can all put this day's madness behind us and look forward to a great summer followed by an even better season. COYB

    Kieran Dowell

    He's going to be quite the player if that full debut is anything to go by. Future is looking very bright for the young man

    Match Thread Everton v Bournemouth 30th April, KO 15:00

    Life is just that bit brighter after an Everton victory. Hopefully we get more of the same to end the season ahead of a very intriguing summer

    Roberto Martinez discussion

    Subs were odd again for me, but a tricky fixture we came out with three points from. Performance needs to be much better for West Ham, but I can't complain with a win. Sixty points might not be out of reach after all.

    This summer has transformed from one I was absolutely dreading to one I am terribly excited to see arrive. We have a real chance at keeping our best players and adding top level pieces to an already stalwart squad.

    Aston Villa v Everton. 1st March at 1945.

    We're going to throttle these fodder, and the good times will keep on a rollin'. 4-0 to Everton, Lukaku brace

    Farhad Moshiri

    The fact that we can even have these discussions is evidence of the complete 180 in the general mood in the last twenty four hours. I'm not totally sold on the truth of the rumors of the 100 million transfer budget, but the fact that the figure isn't even totally out of the question anymore..:D...

    Four wins from five, been all too long since we could last say that. Long may it continue

    Roberto Martinez discussion

    I think a lot of "game management" has to be down to the individuals understanding the little things you have to do to hold onto a lead. It's a snide challenge before an opponent breaks the lines, it's taking the ball to the corner, putting your foot on the ball when you want to drive forward...
