    2025/26 Dwight McNeil

    I like him, he's different and drifts around finding pockets and decent crosses. He's not a tracking back, type. - VS Villa, I thought he could've come on for Jack with Alcaraz coming in centrally for KDH to mix things up. - We could've gone three at the back to make room for Dibling too...

    Need to see more of him, but first impressions against Villa were the same.

    Match Thread Liverpool V Everton 20th September 12:30

    Fingers crossed. That game is a while ago. So far he's bagged against Mansfield this season in four outings. Albeit Virgil van Dyke doesn't play for Mansfield.

    Match Thread Liverpool V Everton 20th September 12:30

    This was solid until the Beto bit. And I do know what you mean, he ran against Villa and gets into spaces. He HAS To improve his goal-scoring, or at least turning chances into making the keeper work. Not good enough and costly, despite the point you make which is true and I agree with. But...

    Match Thread Everton 0-0 Aston Villa. Sat Sep 13th. 3pm

    Highlights from my first game at our new home: - Bramley dock hotel, good for a pre game pint, but it's rammed. Since the roads pedestrianized, let people drink outside ffs - new stadium is quality, as are the views from the bars and snacks area - Beto is genuine in effort and genuinely not...

    I sort of like Mykp more than I think he's a decent LB. Like he's OK, effort good. I'm hoping Moyes gets him bombing on a bit more and expecting to get up and around the box with assists more. He can do it, but needs game time, tactics etc to get it out of him. Having Jack in front will give...

    2025/26 Jack Grealish

    Thank Christ, the guy's awful. Work rate, assists...nothing. Swerve. (Please see previous post, here https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/jack-grealish.122345/post-12289539 before reacting) It is early days though, we haven't played anyone good yet - and if he gets a knock and we sit -...

    Rate Everton's Transfer Window

    Kyle walker loan ( or similar ). I don't like guy, particularly. but I think he would contribute more before the next window than Travers. We haven't played anyone good yet, and Dibling doesn't track back particularly. Maybe Moyes can change that, hopefully.

    Villa ticket, anyone ( buying, not selling )?

    Concerned

    Timely post. We haven't played anyone that good yet. Leeds was awful, too. But confidence and momentum matters, good to bad points against the bottom 10. why does the 'kin international break always seem to come at a bad time for us?

    2025/26 Jack Grealish

    Honoured to be brought to heel by Everton pre-match writer's GOAT 🏆 I need to shift weight and living off Grealish humble pie suits me fine. Keep at it Jack 👍
