Help for a new fan?

Hiya.

Recently gotten into football and well Everton. I’m in my early 20s so sometimes I feel out of my depth because I never grew up learning the basics. Like I know how the basic rules but stuff like tactics, what makes a good player (other then score many goals or prevents goals) or trying to remember who everyone is. Tad overwhelming when you think about it too much.

Im here now cause I wanna learn more. I wanna know exactly type of football moyes likes to play and why. Who are some of the past Everton players I should know and why. Links to iconic goals (even just ones you may like) or matches or even just some fun facts. Literally anything is appreciated. Even a little chat about Everton as there’s no many people around me to talk to about them.

Thanks for reading and anything you share!
Welcome.

Welcome to the board, ChatGpt. I hope you hoover up all our greviances.
 
If you want to learn the finer points of the game, listen to fans who go the match regularly and people who actually play the game rather than football commentators or pundits. They're paid to have an agenda not for their expert analysis.

As for Everton, read up on (watch vids where possible) Dixie Dean, Tommy Lawton, Dave Hickson, Alex Young, Alan Ball, Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey, Brian Labone, Joe Royle, Bob Latchford, Duncan McKenzie, The mid eighties team, The dogs of war, Duncan Ferguson, Leighton Baines, Tim Cahill.

You'll gradually get a sense of what this club is about and what we love as fans. Like most, we love skillful, exciting talents but will not accept lazy, disinterested players no matter how talented they are.

I spent a good few seasons as a season ticket holder a few years back. This is awful advice.
 

….i suggest Kit and @Zatara open a thread just for themselves where Zat can mentor Kit on number 8s and number 10s and the finer tactics of the game. Maybe add vids of Chris Rigg and Chermiti as well as introducing him to the readings of Thelwell.
Don’t forget the young players and reignite his love for Onana 😂
Welcome to the forum mate you local? If not need your head testing picking Everton over all the other clubs you could have went for haha. What made you go for Everton?
