Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[tommytowne]

Noticeable good performances from three players with Everton connections.
Romelu, more or less expected.
Aiden McGeady scoring and starring for Sunderland, found his level as we suspected.
Kieran Dowell, coming off the bench and winning the game for Forest. I hope he is only there for this season and comes back ready to take his place in the first team squad.

has nothing to do with Martinez anymore, Koeman has brought in a bunch of his own players. just don't think we have enough to compete with United,Chelsea and co anyways

not disagreeing with you at all and endorse your second and third sentences.....would add "at the moment" We were left in a mess though ....a steady improvement is what I am after this season with perhaps a cup??

 

[USABlue]

Not looking forward to playing United at all

I'd take a point from that right now if you offered it me

I'd take a point each from our next 4

 

[USABlue]

Well, I don't fully agree with you there, although though I appreciate the sentiment

We've had two windows cycling out a big chunk of Martinez players, meaning Koeman is still trying to gel his own team

Schneiderlin said in the paper that it might take until October before we see them properly coming together, and I think that's fair

It's going to be a rough start I'm afraid, but I am confident that we'll find some form as the team play more together

that's fair, just don't agree with the concept that everything would be golden if only Martinez didn't ruin everything. the past 10 years we've been best of the rest for the most part and it's where we are likely to finish again this year. just want Koeman to give us a great cup run, would be thrilled with a cup win

 

[gonetomorrow]

Only if he can be bothered and doesn't down tools as he did with us

Well he's got two already!

I don't think he'll down tools with this lot somehow.

Still getting rid of his players after 3 windows.

Perhaps this time next year the team will be a 95% Koeman team.

This will due soon. 22 years.

I'd take a point each from our next 4

We'll end up beating 2 of them and then get turned over by Bournemouth.Everton that.

 

[Blues Harp]

I'd take a point each from our next 4

Man C certainly..I think we can go to Chelsea and win...always love to see wins at home but Spurs and Utd are tough ...we need to be hard to beat first and not sure we are at that stage yet so yes taking into account we also have the Europa ties to contend with

 

[Nymzee]

They'll be in the hunt this season though

Of course they will, and frankly should, but beating West Ham doesn't automatically mean you're definitely going to win it.

 

[ilikecheese]

Those goals cost potentially £237 million.

 

[TyphooToffee]

And some call our Ross thick !!

Our Ross? Thick? I won't hear of it I tell you! Ross Barkley Esq., is the opitome of today's intelligent footballer. He is erudite, skilled in public speaking, a great mind in fact. His knowledge of fine art is second to none and his.... OK, I went to far

 

[Soap]

That Lukaku is a good striker, eh? Who knew?!

 

[gonetomorrow]

It's been a great start to the season all round.

Thank God football's back.

 

[Merseyzig]

Deulofeu starting for Barcelona tonight in the home leg of the Supercopa against Real Madrid. He's likely to start on the left, if so he'll do well to get much change out of Carvajal.
