Match Thread Everton 3-2 Spurs 2pm Sunday 19th

[carolinablue232]

No idea what Harrison Armstrong is meant to bring to this side?

Not be Doucoure

Dyche's position became untenable, but I'll never believe that Moyes was the right replacement.

I think we could go very close to the drop this season if we lose again on Sunday. This could escalate quickly. Strangely enough, my biggest objection to Moyes's return is that I believe it continues the Kenwright culture that this club has to purge to move forward once more. I'm relaxed now about relegation, because one upside of it would be to finally bring the curtain down on that era if its poster boy relegates us. Obviously, I hope we do not have to suffer that fate, but given how quick some were to welcome him back, I think it might be only antidote to good times.

Sorry mate, but anyone who is “relaxed about relegation” needs to get back on the meds! Regardless of who the manager is (I didnt want moyes back either) or the who the owner is, or how poor the team, this is our club. To be relaxed seeing us go down in our final season at Goodison in a year when the [Poor language removed] are almost certainly going to win the league is horrendous!

Yeah, yeah, but we've heard it all before. Nothing changes. Heck, we've even gone back to the future with the "new" manager.

We've been told to get behind the team and drag them over the line and things will get better. But things don't get better. In fact, many people seem happy to embrace the culture that crippled this club over the last 30 years even when our financial situation has picked up enormously.

Nah, I've had my fill with worrying over these clowns. I expect we'll stay up this season. The promoted clubs are even worse than us. Moyes may be yesterday's man, but he has enough about him to get us safe, just about. Dyche probably would have had too, albeit without the comfort we felt we should have had. I'm just not buying in to the expectations management any longer. With these owners and this stadium, this club should be top 10 next year. That should be the basic - non-negotiable - target for whoever manages us next season. And if we don't stay up, well, Blue Bill's snake oil will finally be purged.

yikes!

….like in all these games, it’s the quality in the top third that makes a difference. We need to keep a clean sheet and it’s very difficult to keep players like Kulusevski, Maddison and Son quiet for 90mins.

We can’t score, they can score.

I concur. We are always ‘building for the future’, buying players who are not ready ( Chermiti, O’Brien), offering dumb contracts to garbage ( Harrison, Doucoure), the snake oil poison was ‘Eitc’ , gritty, nice Everton.
Sorry we need a sea change in attitude; the world is NOW, not next season or the new stadium. Anyway im getting well old….

We’ll be lucky to score 0

Sunday at 2pm? Nice. Enough not to ruin my weekend

 

[varnish]

If Doucoure can go through hard on Son in the first minute, end his season and pick up a straight red, we might have a chance at getting a point.

 

[T LEAFE]

We’ll be lucky to score 0

I think we can do it

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

At this point, only a win would feel good. So many losses and draws. It sucks looking up the table and seeing the RS literally 30 points above us. Horrible.

There's no upside to relegation mate.

 

[PeregrineT]

I think people saying we "must" win havent paid enough attention to Tottenham this season and are just going off the form chart. Yes, they have lost a lot recently, they just lost 5 to....the top 5 teams in the league.

They have lost to one bottom half side all season. I think we can get a draw out of this which would be good, but a win would be quite something.

 

[Runub]

I’ve got a strange feeling that we win this. Spurs having one of their disaster days. Might even see off Ange
