    2023/24 Demarai Gray

    If he's staying, I hope he will be integrated back to the squad. But I doubt he'll be motivated to play well after a turbulent transfer saga. It is all down to Dyche now.

    2023/24 Alex Iwobi

    mixed feelings on this. One of our better players last season but If we judge Iwobi career at Everton as a whole, he wasn't that good - 22mil is a good fee. He was on his last year of contract and didn't look like signing a new contract.

    why all this trust on M.Keane?

    2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

    I think we have to listen to offers for DCL. I am not sure how much we could get I don't think we can risk going through another season not having a proper No. 9 that fits into our system

    2022/23 Sean Dyche

    It's only one game and I think maintaining that same level of intensity and consistency for the next 16-17 games is the real challenge. Dyche offers the team the best chance to survive but it's not a guarantee. PL is fickle this season, to stay up, we really just need to perform consistently for...

    2022/23 Demarai Gray

    I think Gray will get his chance but I don't think Gray should be shoved into McNeil-type role. It's up to the manager/coach to see where he fits.

    2022/23 Kevin Thelwell

    It is clear that there was no list because of lack of funds and the only signings we were going to make was Danjuma on loan. It is clear there isn't any Plan B. It was more like "okay, once we have funds, we go for this player, that player" but by that time it was too late. All we can do now...

    2022/23 Anthony Gordon

    Reality is he has 18 months left in his contract and he was asking 100k/week despite only have 1 good season. He isn't having a good season (which is more than 20 games now), he couldn't even break into a poor Everton first 11 and some of his individual mistakes have cost us points. Either lose...

    Bill Kenwright

    I read online that Bill was allowed to build his own ally and acolytes within the board. Moshiri/Bill dynamic caused a lot of confusion - which infamously landed us with 3 No. 10s. For better or worse, Bill remains largely influential in our recent talent acquisition as all potential signings...

    Marcelo Bielsa or Sean Dyche?

    Personally, I prefer Bielsa because of his brand on football and his ambition to have more power and say on players contract and transfer. But I know it's unrealistic. On the pitch/training, our players probably won't be able to handle Bielsa session or tactics so soon. If Bielsa is...

    2022/23 Anthony Gordon

    I understand why we didn't let Gordon go right after selling Richarlison. But I think Gordon's best attributes were widely misunderstood by FL. He is not the best 1v1 dribbler nor the best shooter. What he gives is energy and pressing - which are all gone this season. Once the effort is gone...

    2022/23 Abdoulaye Doucouré

    Honestly, Doucs have been poor for us even before FL arrives. And this isn't the first time an Everton (ex)-manager buttheads with a player. This is what happens when the club play Manager roulette and board/owner/kia/owner's advisors signing players for the club. This fight is just as symptom...

    Marcelo Bielsa

    Bielsa seems very unique individual and I'm sure our players will struggle to fit into his style in the short term. We are a poorly run club and I'm sure Bielsa has many opinions on how to fix things and considering how things are - he will eventually butt heads with board and the owner.

    The Everton Board Thread

    Who knows - probably a large compensation to remove the board? It might be cheaper to sack managers and the coaches. Or the board knows too much.

    2022/23 Frank Lampard

    The results speak for itself. FL messed up. A relegation battler would have try to keep that 1 point regardless of the fan base. Southampton was gaining on us and his substitution wasn't good. Gordon's mistake was no coincidence. An experienced manager would have replace a player to gain...

    2022/23 Anthony Gordon

    yes. agreed. wasn't necessary at all. I mean with James Ward Prowse who has been delivery/shooting good long range and freekick all game. You cannot give away fouls in that area. Freekicks are like penalties for JWP.

    2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

    Gone after the season long injury. It happens to pro footballers when you don't get regular games for more than 1 year and he was also injured at the start of the season. Not sure why the club put so much faith in him despite that long injury. Not many players in this world is able to come back...

    The Everton Board Thread

    I think one of the many reasons for poor performance is that the Manager, coaches and players do not feel there is proper backing from the Board. The board and owner should be held accountable because they are part of the problem that created such environment. In such time, the board and...

    2022/23 Frank Lampard

    Disappointing from FL and the players. after doing everything right against Man City, we took 2 steps back by getting destroyed by Brighton. What we saw against Man City were players putting in the effort to make FL's gameplan work. Against Brighton, it was back to the Everton we all hate...
