Since Dyche took over we’ve taken 41 points from 33 matches (discounting the deduction). It’s a pretty impressive total bearing in mind he was having to make do with the likes of Gray, Maupay, Simms and a half fit Calvert-Lewin up top for last season’s games. I’ve always thought the Dyche style...

Away from home they’ve had less chances yet converted a bigger percentage, whilst at Goodison they’re all turning into Stuart Barlow. Onana didn’t even bother to dive for the Doucoure shot, he‘d given it up. Not sure how Dyche solves this.

The good news is he’s one booking away from a suspension, unfortunately so are Branthwaite and Doucoure.

EFCStatto.com have the following figures: Under Farhad Moshiri Income £455,810,000 Expenditure £640,200,170 Net Spend +£184,390,170

Let’s just imagine Moshiri came in and recruited well, where could we be by now. Challenging for and getting in the top 4, maybe a domestic cup win. The problem we’d then have with PSR would be being unable to spend money in a bid to get to the very top as Newcastle are about to discover. The...

Moshiri never took complying with PSR seriously, paying Ancelotti £11.5 million a year (plus a £2.5 million bonus if they avoided relegation) was evidence of that. Add on the £60+ million spent on bringing Doucoure, Allan and Godfrey in 2020 meant it was always going to be an uphill task to...

If Brands was unable to sell players for significant fees in the summer of 2020 then it was utter madness to crack on and purchase another four at the cost of £61 million plus additional wages. I just don’t think Moshiri and the Board took breaching PSR seriously enough until it was too late...

Unfair comparison really but we played really good football under Gordon Lee, had 3rd and 4th placed finishes, European football and two FA Cup semi-finals (getting done over by Clive Thomas in one). A month after we signed George Wood in 1977, Forest signed Shilton and he only conceded 18 goals...

Sorry this ticket is now sold.

Due to illness I’m not going so have got one to sell. You’ll have to collect it from North Merseyside though. I’ll dm you.

Everton have only won 10 out of their last 50 Premier League matches which stretches back to October 2021. In that period they’ve only gained 40 points. 40 points from the last 50 league games tells you all you need to know about the lack of quality in the squad. We’ve been on the decline ever...

Lampard’s been in charge for 36 league games and we’ve lost 19 of them, he’s way out of his depth and should have gone after the Bournemouth games. Why does he deserve any more time?

If Vitor Pereira had been appointed in January and had won 9 and lost 17 league games out of 33 played, I doubt there would be a poll on here with 78% saying they wanted to keep him. When Lampard was appointed Everton were 16th, 4 points off the drop zone. We finished 16th, 4 points off the...

If we were playing decent football, creating and missing loads of chances you could maybe wait until January and get a striker in but the football served up under Lampard is dreadful. You can only get away with the opposition having loads of attempts on your goal every week for so long. I’ve...

He’s out of his depth, it’s that simple. He was lucky to get the Everton gig and the football his side are playing is borderline unwatchable. I couldn’t care less if he’s a nice guy or he gets us, it doesn’t win you football matches. The problem is the same clowns on the Board who appointed him...
