Our players are rubbish.

They're mostly mid-table rubbish, not relegation battle rubbish

 

[Davideeyore]

Looking forward to TFG doing a bit of spring cleaning.

Who are our good players? Pickford and Branthwaite are top quality players. NDiaye looks like he might be a quality player. The rest are at best average or complete trash. Fulham are a mid table team and they are much better than us.

Not sure fulham are much better...what they have is a much more balance squad with good options across the pitch. We need urgently significant investment to improve our squad ASAP.

….here’s me thinking the DoF ‘brings in players’.

Yeah, your right dyche has had absolutely zero input into players being brought in...thats why he refused 6 players in the summer

 

[Bluewolf]

Our players are rubbish.

So how did Doncaster play us off the park then? Unless you think our players are worse then league 1 standard?

How many Bournemouth players would you have over ours? I wouldnt have many but they can play us off the park.

The manager is crap and we'll keep playing crap till hes gone because crap managers can only play crap football.

 

[Blue peter]

The reality is no one knows what level of partnership exists between DoF and Manager has for any signings. I would expect that there has to be oversight from both, possibly even the power of veto for both but ultimately the signings fall at the door of the DoF.

The only people who have stated Dyche was able to knock players back was supposed ITKs but we don’t know this for a fact and never will know. Praising someone else’s signings throughout the summer maybe an inferring he wasn’t happy with our business, maybe not. Maybe inferring it gives him a public excuse for not getting the team to gel. Who knows? No one except those in the club.

Yes, it's exactly like the Napster thing. It's at least as big amongst 'normal' people as that was.

Piracy was defeated in the mainstream in music by offering a reasonably-priced alternative, first with iTunes' 79p / 99¢ tracks - then all-you-can-eat Spotify as you say.

Netflix did similar with film and TV.

Ultimately, I think this is where we're headed. I absolutely hate trying to find and watch a stream. I already pay for Sky / TNT, and I'd happily pay to get access to all of Everton's games in properly reliable UHD direct from the Premier League.

If the league keep their global rights and launch their own service, they can price it right so that it effectively kills the streaming market. It at least removes it from the mainstream, anyway.

Just buy IPTV for about £60 a year and get every game streamed in HD right to your TV.

Must add, it's illegal and frowned upon by the people that make money off you not doing it.

It may bring about the collapse of football ad it is now and the broadcasters strangle hold on the game we all loved as kids, but for now, just it being cheaper is enough of a draw...

I binned sky off entirely and have never missed it fir even a day.

I've seen the Moyes teams struggle against lower league opposition. We had relegation form at the end of Ancellotti, under Benitez, under Lampard and now under Dyche. The squad is awful. Bournemouth didn't play us off the park at any stage. We absolutely dominated that game and fell apart in the last 10 minutes.

I remember in 2003 with Moyes in the FA Cup, our side with the likes of Rooney etc was beat by the mighty Shrewsbury who were division 2 at the time and got relegated to the conference league later that season I believe. Good times

I weirdly remember listening to that on the radio with my dad in the middle of nowhere.

 

[Abertonian]

Fulham are a mid table team and they are much better than us.

They are set up to win that's the biggest difference.

 

[Vintage]

….rumours that they were there in force tonight.

Hopefully their representatives at the game were something like this

They have better players. We've been poor for a long time under various different managers.
