This signing makes perfect sense in the parallel universe where Doms goals fired us to mid table and we’re selling him for twice what we’re paying for Broja. Think he’s a really good player but doesn’t make sense for us.

Signing Utds castoffs worked for us in the 00s as they were actually good then. “After narrowly avoiding relegation, Frank Lampard signed two 30yr olds on £100k a week contracts” - I am hoping we are in the 1/100 timeline where that statement is part of a story about our amazing rebuild to glory.

Signing Michael Keane’s replacement 6 years later on 100k a week? You have to be a sick individual to support this club. Anyway, time to get behind the guy and he surely can’t be worse than what we’ve got :confused:

Think for me the priorities in order are: A right back that can get forward An athletic centre/defensive mid who can play under pressure A centre back who’s not a coward (ideally with pace) Someone who can score goals from the right Not confident we have the budget for all that, but if we can...

He did everything he could to drag Havertz into a battle and play the game that Mina wanted and it worked. Absolutely loved it. That stands out a mile next to our other defenders who can’t seem to decide whether having the ball or not having it is more likely to cause them a total mental collapse.

“Engagement” is part of my work culture so I try to avoid using the word but yeah that is probably the right one! Not saying I want to go through this ever again like

Still absolutely buzzing about the result against Chelsea. Not only the least likely 3 points but the first of our remaining games- the picture has gone from pretty desperate to achievable. We need another good weekend and I think the momentum is there. Obviously wish it was under different...

So we’ve got 6 games left. Previous 6 games: Burnley 13pts Leeds 11pts Everton 7pts This 7pt run we’ve had in our recent games is our best 6 game spell since October (the start of season run). If we match that in our remaining games then a Burnley draw and a Leeds win sends us down. They are...

I watched all the incidents again last night but decided to hold off til I’d calmed down a bit. Happy enough to be told I’m way off here but… He tried to win the pen in the first half. He should’ve had a pen second but I don’t think he was trying to score, I think he was trying to win the pen...

I think his teams score enough goals that with our games in hand we’ll be fine. Interested to know what the summer will look like. His summer window at Chelsea was like a fans shopping list but don’t know how much say he had in it. Surely he’ll want goals from midfield?

I feel like we are 3/4 of the way through an Athletic article on the demise of Everton football club, but not sure they’ll get to finish it this season.

Think this is a face-saving exercise so it seems like Frank hasn’t booted him out, and instead Dunc is leaving on his own terms. Not sure it makes sense any other way- time for a clean break.

I think this idea that he needs to leave decisions to football people is nonsense. Since he joined there has been a procession of “football people” from directors, to managers, to scouts, to players, to agents who have bled this guy dry. It seems anyone can get in his ear and get him to change...

Iwobi missed that blatant pass in the second half and I had an epiphany- I don’t have enough anger to go round Everton football club. So I’m going to reserve what I do have for the players and the suits, give this guy a chance to get rid of the rot and bring a couple players in, and if we’re...

We have no money and a squad with a reputation for getting managers the sack, and very few sellable assets. What decent manager would want to join? The best we can do is find a progressive up and coming manager, and in that case it makes no sense to throw them to the lions with the fixtures...

The worse things get the more ruthless Benitez will be with the dross and the more he will challenge Moshiri etc on spending and decision making. Assuming we don’t get relegated I’m quite interested to see him go to war, as I’m absolutely fed up with the shower of [Poor language removed] we call a squad and all...

Benitez first season with the reds they got beaten by Allardyce’s Bolton, and the two have hated each other since. Kevin Davies supposedly broke Hyypias nose. A few years later the reds beat Bolton with that Kyrgiakos at the back. Kevin Davies knocked one of his teeth out in that game. The...

One of the things that most annoyed me about the league game was that it was their players who treated it like a derby- little snide kicks and stamps and trying to wind our lot up. Our lot didn’t fancy that side of things at all- remember Robertson laughing in our faces after elbowing Davies in...

After the Bournemouth game he was a clear shout for player of the season- even remember one fella on here talking up a bid from Man City in the summer. Immediately follows it up with an own goal and a red card either side of getting knocked out the cup. This football club is unbelievable.

As far as I can tell, he had 3 great years at Estoril then: Sacked after a year at Sporting Walked away from Olympiakos after a year Walked away from Hull after half a season Sacked by Watford in his first season Like most people I didn’t follow Estoril’s 2012-13 season closely, so I actually...
