Match Thread Wolves 1-1 Everton, Saturday 8th March

[john jako]

The next months fixture worries me a little and I don’t think we can relax until we get at least another win .

I’m fully on the beach with Lonsdale sliders on. If you aren’t relaxed by this position we are in you are institutionalised Everton depressed

A point overall is ok, denying wolves 3 is a result in itself. The performance was obviously a little worrying, was surprised at the formation change. Doucoure can’t play in that 10 position if we stick to the 4231 against West Ham

Joe Cole looks really small here

 

[Drico]

We are looking like a solid, mid table team, that's hard to beat. A couple more decent players and we could really push on.

If a "couple" means 8, I agree with you.

 

[Bilko]

I think Alcaraz could be a main player for us soon enough, felt like we never supported beto until he came on, that he missed the chance created for him .....
Not at our best but at least we were trying to win it.

 

[PeregrineT]

I suppose if I was being unreasonable optimistic Id say...

At least its a positive sign that we play a really poor match by our standards, on the road, not against the bottom 3, and its a "deserved" draw.

 

[Bryan+]

Such a limited side, shows how little we offer going forward when we don’t rely on set pieces.

 

[Vaughan]

alcaraz looks great. that run on the counter is what we’ve been missing basically since i started watching us in the year 2000

get him in the starting xi next week

Yep , yes I am .
I still have a shrine to Hans Segers .

Who's talking about another PSR nightmare? We need six or seven of this lot out and upgraded. That's far from an impossible job. We'll extend a few of the younger mediocrities and perhaps one of the older guys on reduced terms to fill gaps. But six or seven will need upgrading.

Believe it or not... I am.

Good players usually cost good money, PL experienced players a premium. Moyes has a history of unearthing a few good players at value, but it is unreasonable to expect him to turf up 5 or 6 bargains of the century in one window.

Tarkowski 33 this year
Gana 36 this year
The support isn't convinced on Mykolenko
We've a CB holding the RB place.
Lindstrom and Harrison are both starters and are loans. Mangala was first choice until an ACL also a loan. Alcaraz needs paying for.

The size of the step backwards this summer provides is huge. I can't remember a similar summer like it.

Cal-Lewin, Doucoure, Keane, Coleman, Young, maybe Gana. I'm honestly worried, a player exodus could leave us with a bare bones squad and no means to fix it. Say a miracle is performed, the squad could still be so thin a couple of injuries could cripple us all the same.

Tonights bench. We face the culmination of seasons of short sighted losses. Call it 10 players needed. What total sum is reasonable to spend?

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Not a great performance but a decent point away from home. Moyes making revelant subs is also a positive.

 

[heatmeiser]

Must absolutely awful banter at the end there. Dear god they're so bad

 

[uglykidjoe1982]

Players are knackered. They’ve done their job under Moyes. I just hope they’re having a good time and looking to kick on/ gtfo next season (delete as applicable)

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I’m fine with the point and being higher up the table. Feel we’re safe at this point for sure.

Hope you've got a good book to read!

Train hasn’t even set off yet

Been sat on the platform for 15 minutes
