Dinho lad

Very, very low? Eh? Why not? He might not be signing a new contract at Everton and MA could easily do to Pardew what he did to Hughton; especially if the stories of MA's "ruthless streak" is all true.

Wonder what are the odds of Moyes leaving Everton and ending-up here for the start of next season? I'm not the biggest fan of the kind of football that Everton play, but still.... can't argue with the job that he's done there.

Lost my patience with him on Thursday. Wasted most of that night responding to some daft posts defending him. Hopefully I won't have to today.

Glad didn't bet on us.

Benfica and now this.... fuck off anyone trying to defend him.

"Pards".

Because Jonas wasn't there.

shola's touch there.

Suggested this a few weeks ago, but was laughed at. There's nothing wrong with his energy levels. It's the technical and tactical aspects that are wrong.

similar to last season's first half without the thuggery.

fuck off, quinn. cunt.

fuck off, quinn . cunt.

I would be very concerned to be frank if Jonas is at RB and Debuchy at LB. johnson plays on the right, no?

Not too concerned about Jonas at RB, he'd probably be better equipped to handle Johnson cutting on his left foot. Now come on.... Let's bum them!!!

Mcwankerman scores.

Reading keeper is all that's stopping Liverpool.

ridiculous, he stated theres more chance of the opponents scoring in that 70 mins if you attack them, simple fact, and in this scenario that would have ended the game by half time. People are just making things up. This. Re your point of if HBA had scored that shot- Some of us here have been saying for a while that we can't keep-on relying on individual brilliance to get us out of jail. Last night showed exactly why. And yet you were satisfied enough? As HTT said, some of those that are making these pathetic excuses deserve the s*** that have been thrown at their faces this season. Feel very sorry for the likes of yourself and HTT that you couldn't enjoy a night and be proud of the team after that tbh. If you can't put an agenda against a manager aside after a tie where we came across a better and more experienced European team then I pity you. Proud of a performance where for 45 minutes we sat back and did pretty much f*** all? A performance that saw us put in a good attacking display for about 10 minutes only? Seriously, is this how far we have fallen in terms of expectations? If you feel proud for last night and our showing in this competition this season you're easily pleased. Another who reads that as "proud of the performance". Nice one. What do you make of Harper's comment about Pardew playing Bigi because he was concerned about their LB? Couldn't we have exploited their weakness instead? I said straight after the game I thought the Bigirimana selection was baffling. Check the Bigi thread. I also didn't realise at the time though that Marveaux wasn't fully fit. Who was the other viable option, Perch? That would have went down well with the people saying we should have attacked them from the off. Shola? Yeah right, imagine the reaction on here had he picked him up front in a 4-4-2 or Cisse on the right. You could say that he made 2 mistakes here- 1. By selecting a player, who hasn't started in 2 or 3 months, out-of-position. 2. By selecting him for the wrong reasons. i,e - to stop their LB threat. And, for the record, I stopped trusting Pardew's claims about our injuries a long time ago. Time and time again he's contradicted himself, not least with HBA.

Has this tactical plan ever worked, against good sides, during Pardew's time here? When have we played a good side when we were needing to realistically score at least two and keep a clean sheet? if it hasn't worked in the past, why would it work now?

i'm sure that played a part too. still dosen't refute my point.

I wouldn't say we were cautious.
