12 minutes in, I nearly switched it off. We hadn’t had a kick of the ball, Villa were dominating and cutting through us at will. Keane was at centre back. A Spurs-like pasting was inevitable. I held on. We go 1-0 up. Completely against the run of play, so I expect an instant response from...

Since I moved to Australia, the games finish so late it’s been fairly easy to put on a non-football related podcast and go to sleep. Foul mood today though.

Perfect summation. Abject misery and it is indeed relentless too.

I’ve stayed up to 2am for that! When the first goal went in, I laughed because I knew it was coming. I don’t feel angry, upset or sad; just total apathy at what Everton are as a football club. A joke, an embarrassment, a laughing stock. I can count the joyous occasions on one hand for my...

Great start. Iroegbunam and Ndiaye excellent.

Ndiaye is playing on the left hand side…

The team I would’ve gone with: GK: Pickford RB: Dixon LB: Mykolenko CB: Tarkowski CB: O’Brien CM: Iroegbunam CM: Garner AM: Ndiaye RW: Lindstrøm LW: McNeil ST: Beto First two games of the season, we scored 0 and conceded 7. We should be ringing the changes wherever we can.

Michael. Keane.

Great post. I’m slightly more positive RE: the DCL situation now that Broja is in though. Scenario 1: DCL signs a new contract and we send Broja back after the loan. Scenario 2: DCL doesn’t sign, and we sell for a reduced fee in January; (i) if Broja performs, we activate the buy option...

True mate, but we did just make approximately £30m in this window. Add that to the fee for DCL (if applicable) then we could be looking at a couple of those positions in January. We were very active this window, so it makes me positive that we’ll be able to do so again in Jan.

GK position sorted (Pickford, Virginia, Begovic). RB position desperately needs fixing: Coleman & Young need to retire, whilst Patterson is not good enough. LB we need someone better than Mykolenko, then move him to backup. CB position is fairly well stocked: Tarkowski & Branthwaite first...

I think we all have an ideal idea of what an Everton squad should look like and I feel that this window has seen us take strides towards that. We were never going to fix everything in this window but we are now a couple of steps closer. I suppose that would be “success” in this context...

Squad is better than the beginning of the window and we’ve brought in around £30m whilst keeping Branthwaite. That is great business. Was it perfect? No. Does it set us up for future success? Yes. January window will hopefully see us bring in a proper right back as we prepare to send Young &...

Earliest I’ve ever switched off an Everton game; record broken in back to back games. 80th minute last week and 26th minute this week. Not subjecting myself to it, absolutely battered in the opening stages and already 2-0 down.

Happy to see Dixon over Holgate. Dismayed to see Keane & Doucoure over O’Brien & Ndiaye again though.

People often say “with the benefit of hindsight” when referring to team selections. Only on this occasion, we had that benefit; we knew exactly what we were going to get by picking Young & Keane, and voiced it in our droves across multiple platforms (see the comments on the team announcement...

Iroegbunam looks like he’ll be a quality addition, very impressed with him today
