he always works hard which is the first quality required to play for Everton. I think he knows his decision making needs some work after seeing Villa qualify for Europe.

If we’re talking about rules I’ve long felt that they are due an overhaul. For example, if a player is taking the ball away from goal to the corner flag and is tripped/dives/goes down easily should it be a penalty? Similarly if a player is clean through on goal and is tripped by the last man but...

I have this opinion that the game should be the same whether you play in the PL or Sunday league. Weirdly always felt that VAR spoils the grass roots aspect for many reasons which I care a lot about. we shouldn’t look for perfect solutions in an imperfect world.

we will win comfortably today. Huge advantage with Holgate being ineligible

In the 4,000 to 4,500 band so fingers crossed. I’d recommend the membership guys, the blue socks look absolutely class with just about anything you wear. 👌⚽️💙

Agreed, plenty to be positive about too @davek. It’s all part of the journey. Much easier to moan though, despite the fact that there are plenty much much worse off. Forward we go.

I’ve felt for some time that it felt like a pyramid / ponzei scheme. To keep these things going you have to keep stacking the shelves by adding more to your portfolio. The lack of compliance in their reinsurance business suggests some corner cutting. I can’t see any other reason or value they...

His first touch last night where he span it into his own lane to run on to was 👌 One of our major problems has been that we haven’t been able to play young players due to the fears of relegation. I’d give him a start against Sheffield United alongside Beto. Harry Kane looked like he wasn’t...

Assuming that the general consensus is that we’d like the footba to evolve under Dyche we will need a player to put his foot on the ball whilst also being physical as the matters a non negotiable for Everton and the manager. Barkley fits the profile and is available. He’s flourished at Luton...

Agreed. Luton came flying out the blocks. Thought we were professional, kept the ball well and played our way into the game. Really tight pitch so McNeil needs to keep our width. One of those nights to keep it tight and take our chance when we get it,

Barkley £30k a week 😳

I think if he left at the end of the season I’d feel very anxious about being relegated in our last season at Goodison. Fortunately I’m looking forward to next season and seeing what he can build on this years remarkable return. COYB

I’d try and get Barkley. Principles can be expensive. I’d read he’s on £30k per week and signed a 1 year contract at Luton. He’s matured into an 8 so would play him in a 2 alongside either Gueye or Garner. McNeil inside to a 10 role as he would easily replicate Doucoures workrate whilst adding...

Just want to spare a thought for the young fella who looked like he’d enjoyed a few too many and had thrown up all over his hands in the UG. He was valiantly trying to carry it to the toilets to preserve GP. Hope you recovered sufficiently to enjoy the win and that Sunday morning isn’t too painful.

Was in the city today enjoying a pre match meal with the family and some friends who had travelled up before going over to GP. We all were talking about how great the city centre is now and it’s only going to continue to attract tourists, it’s better than Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds. I...
