My issue is the way we are playing their game. Keep the ball. Kill the game.

Keep the fucking ball. Stop playing long.

12 months ago.we didn't have any attacking chances, man.

People whinging in here can fuck off. We've completely out played them. Play like this in the second half and we win. Willock was great finishing apart.

Don Goodman such a twat.

Fuck. Nerves just hit

Not nervous in the slightest.

I present to you.... the shit side of youtube.

I'd swap Maxi for Maddison.

Let me @ him... @Toonjam88

If he gets a move to Arsenal or Chelsea it might not seem so silly. Everton are like what we used to be, a mere jumping off point into the PL.

Apparently Hassenhutl is one of their top targets. What a perfect fit.

I thought it was Chelsea who were interested in Onana?

Leicester wanted 60m or so for Maddison and Gordon will likely be half that (as a starting point), so it's hardly a case of just hoying a few more million onto it.

When a player isn't training and both clubs seems to be working on a deal, it makes you wonder. At this stage, you have to assume they want to cash in. Also, they are trying to buy Dieng, so may need funding.

You saying I'm a twat or Paully?

Just seen @Paullyon SSN. I think. Pissed?

the 90s are calling, wanting their medical locations back.

I wouldn't like to argue about it, because I certainly don't want to die on Anthony Gordon's hill however.... Wasn't he their player of the year last year? From what I've seen, he's a very good young player, who along with Richarlison, has kept Everton in the PL these last two seasons. Every time we have played them or indeed I've seen him play (apart from this season admittedly), he was always one of their best players. He's an absolute little nuisance, grafts, has two feet, can go past someone. Yes, before you get the stats out to prove me wrong, also remember what Almirons stats looked like recently and Gordon has the advantage of being only 22. He's just a bairn man. I agree with those saying that he might not have much of an effect this season because quite frankly he's been part of (and partially responsible) for a farce of a football club. He won't be tactically up to date with what Howe will want, he probably won't be fit enough to satisfy Howes standards and his confidence will have taken a knock but from a long term, strategic viewpoint, I think he'd be a solid signing and player who we could see flourish. If we sign him this January, he will be in the England squad within 18 months. Although, admittedly that's not much of a compliment these days. The only other thing I'd say... if we sign him, don't fucking boo him. Proper mugs game that.

In his Palace press conference he specified that he wants "players ready to play but not specifically PL players". An actual quote too. It was interesting because I felt he may have been giving something away.

I'd be fine with the likes of Gallagher and Gordon as summer signings, players who Eddie thinks he can develop and grow but I can't see anything that they would give us between now and May, especially since they are both are at failing clubs currently. I can only see us going abroad. That's where the value is.

It's weird coz all my instincts are making me panic as this window comes closer to closing but I have to remind myself that not only have these owners never left Eddie Howe short of what he wants but also that we have Dan Ashworth at the helm. We have to assume that we are confident of making something happen late on. Isak happened on the back of us not willing to leave ourselves without. Surely we will do the same this window. It's not so much a striker, it's a midfielder that is crucial. I can see us coping up front with Isak, Wilson, Joelinton and Maxi as options.

This will be a much tougher game than expected. But ultimately, provided we don't do something stupid, we should dominate the ball.

Survival isn't involved apparently. More likely appearance/availability related.

Always liked arsenal. Cheers lads.
