Unpopular Everton Opinions

It's okay not to rate Davies.

McCarthy is still our best centre mid.

We should have sold Baines and not Fellaini.

Sticking with Howard was RM's downfall.

There is not much between Kenny and Seamus.

We got a great deal for Lukaku.

It's far more difficult to take a corner than you think.. hence why many teams in the Prem, not just us, seem to struggle taking them.

Nahhhh

I'm 50 50 on this..

Capt Jags and his head henchman Bainesy did a back-stabbing job on Bobby M that make Brutus' similar gig on Jules, look like amateur hour.

lol "Try and move me into the DM position, will ya"

Did it? Or did we just stick Lukaku in a top 6 side and get lucky on direct free kicks and wondergoals. I still think the best Moyes teams controlled games far better than that Martinez side.

nothing lucky about that season mate, moyes defence and Martinez attack combined it was great

Martinez did in 1 season what moyes failed to do in 10 years, go to the so called sky 4 and win a game,

I always used to try and get mine right underneath the cross bar and tell our biggest 2 players to always run front post.
Mind you the golaie at that standard was almost certainly 19 stone with 1 arm and the guy marking the post was usualy the same height as Tom Cruise so it was more a case of just kick it close to the goal and it may go in!
I think the defenders at the elite level are a little bit more skilled than my oposition

I would pretty much agree, chelsea have a better 'history' than us

no. mate.

He won a game against Moyes’ United. Even in that game I’m sure Fellaini hit the bar when there was an open goal, we weren’t even that good against a torrid side that West Brom also beat at home. Maybe not lucky but the success of it was built on a strangely high number of direct free kicks and penalty saves (Howard pretty much racked up most of his career penalty saves for us across 2 seasons this being one of them). We had potentially a better mentality in let’s during that season but for me the reason I never really buy 13/14 is the warning signs in the second half of it that it would fall apart and we’d get the 2 seasons that followed. The humiliation at Anfield, struggling past Cardiff and Sunderland even though we were on a 7 match run and should have been playing a lot better, getting ran through by Crystal Palace at home. Having to win games from the bench far too often. The warning signs were all there. The great Arsenal win was a bit of an anomaly in a period of performances beginning to take a nose dive even if results hadn’t yet.

But how?

doesn't matter who was in charge of united at the time, we went and got a win something I personally have NEVER seen in my lifetime

howard racked up pen saves? how many did he get I remember one away in the villa game ( when we was already winning )

we got bummed at anfield to be fair i'll give you that, stones was playing RB if I remember because coleman was injured and that was a major factor behind it,

we beat Cardiff and sunderland though regardless how hard work we made of it ( signs of a good team ) win games from the bench? isn't that a sign of a good manager when he knows things need changing so he makes the changes

for the bad games you can counter it by saying, Chelsea at home, Liverpool at home where we went toe to toe, arsenal at home where we absolutely destroyed them, Newcastle away etc

It doesn't matter who was in charge of them no, but it surely matters that they finished 7th and lost 9 of their 23 domestic home games that season? It was a brilliant night for all of us there, but there was no comparison between the United of that season and the side they had been in the preceding decade.

I agree with the general sentiment that the Grand Old Team song is rubbish, so camp and plodding, almost parody-like. I’d prefer something high-octane that would pump the crowd up and intimidate the opposition. I’d go with Smack My Bitch Up by the Prodigy.

Running around like a madman and throwing yourself into tackles may look good but by itself does not make you a great player.

niasse in an everton shirt hurts my eyes

Umm what?
Well it will be very unpopular opinion. It's just not true.

For entertainment or ability of the players? Because only one of those is an opinion. The other is not correct.

Wow. You guys must be fun at parties!
