We where not dreadful today, we had good spells.

However we have to many passengers in the squad. Lascelles, ASM, Longstaff etc. There will always be a mistake 

 

 

 

 

ASM?😅, i dont get the hate for this lad at all

Longstaff is such a nothing player, surely Willock offers more in terms of goal threat

Longstaff has done well, shelveys a red waiting to happen, 2 yards off the pace

Digne comes across as a bit of a wanker, but it has to be said Benitez doesn’t come out of it smelling of roses.  He’s hardly doing a great job, regardless of the circumstances- and he couldn’t have been unaware of what the reaction of Evertonians would be to his appointment.

 

We loved him when he was here, but that was mainly because his appointment was surreal - Ashley didn’t appoint proper managers, he appointed washed-up MOTR yes-men.  So given Rafa’s CV, it was an incredible appointment in the circumstances - though I dare say that at a properly run NUFC, plenty wouldn’t have put up with the football on display for too long before questions were asked.
 

I still have massive amounts of fondness for the man, and how he handled himself at Newcastle under that dickhead former owner of ours.  But he still feels like yesterday’s man.  

How is he yeterdays man? He has being an absolute success everywhere. The only thing id say is he fucked up going to everton when the fans already didnt want him there. In saying that he started off brilliantly until they got crippled with injuries and spent nothing in the transfer market. Who is the last manager for everton who has done a good job there is what you need to think about? Koeman spunked a load of money on shite and set them back years and Rafa is trying to rebuild again, im fucking jealous they have him tbh. If they give him time he will do a great job i have no doubt. We dont know what happened but surprise player that got kicked out of the club has a dig at him as he leaves

Its not an exicting one but he will do for now, hopefully can get another forward in after watford.

We have bought similar players before that done a job so hopefully he will be similar.

People are forgetting that 20million is not alot of money, especially in Janary these days.

Good to see they are making a move at least in good time to get these transfers in, might get better quality towards the end of the month

He has a serious whip of a corner kick, puts in a good area but with pace.

Think he will be class for us 

His subs were awful!  I dont rate murphy highly but he was by far our biggest threat and bringing on manquillo made no sense.

He is partly to blame but the players were a disgrace.

It should not be over looked that since he came in we look a far better side and much more enjoyable to watch, he needs time and his own players in

Best performance since i can remember. I though Krafth was excellent and im no fan but he deserves a mention.

Even if we go down Howe has done a miraclous job since he came in.

I used to dread watching our passive shit performances under Bruce, looks like in the space of a couple of months howe has turned this around. 

Massive job to keep us up now with not enough points on the board along with the injuries but if we put in the same amount of effort as here and a few good early signings in January you never know.

At least we have our club back!

Likeable bloke and very good player but unfortunately cant rely on him.

In huge trouble now, we need to spend whatever it takes to get a new striker

Best performance since rafa was here

Friendly reminder that Dubs was dropped at Esbjerg, one of the biggest joke clubs in Denmark, for exactly these erratic incidents - He has been shook ever since he punched the ball into his own net at the Euros. I think we need to look for a long term replacement.

Alan pardew....

Least of our worries. Makes an odd mistake granted, similar to max if he does one thing wrong people are on his back. 

Jesus , he is the least of our worries. Pair with him with Fed and would be ok

Played well yesterday, but worth mentioning he was up against Josh Sargent, who is one of the worst PL players of all time.

and Max Aarons who is more than decent

Not even close should be manquillo, fed, schar, lewis or someone else. 

The left back is the only tough pick, from the little i seen of Lewis he really hasnt settled in and lacks confidence byt Ritchie is a liability without the ball. Christ, cant believe we still have to rely on paul dummett ffs

Fuck me Krafth , jesus laczette and aubayemang will be delighted. Hes like an artic truck trying to turn

Maybe, just maybe, his downturn in form has absolutely nothing to do with "sulking about Bruce" (  ) and everything to do with the ridiculous way we set up in the last three games with the whole team apart from him camped 10 yards from our goal?

agreed

Why would he be pissed off about Bruce if he wants to get in the French squad, wont be getting picked when hes in the championship.

Im a big fan but he is a bit off that french squad at the moment

49 minutes ago, bowlingcrofty said:

Think he’ll come Into his own once we have a competent full back behind him, so that the opposition can’t double up on him every time he gets the ball.

They have at least 3 maybe 4 players on him now when he gets the ball, if we even had one other creative midfielder for them to worry about that they wouldnt get away with that

Been an absolute shit show since Ashley walked thru the door.

Just now, SUPERTOON said:

Hopefully there is a cut off to all this because we really need a new manager in time for the international break 

Ideally before Brighton, huge game

Bittersweet, nice but shit to have that feeling of disapointment.

Worried if Howe is coming in now, seemed like a nice bloke and better than bruce which doesnt say much 

Emery would be the best we could hope for at the moment, he got shit from Arsenal fans at the end but so did Wenger.

We need someone with PL experience so not a bad appointment at all if true

Fuck me is he trying to out do Bruce, state of that lineup

I know it's semantics, but for me a decent guy and a good man are very different things. Rafa - decent guy and a good man, Keegan the same and Sir Bobby - decent guy and a wonderful man. I don't think Bruce has the emotional depth or intelligence to be a good man in the same way those mentioned are. I think he's thick and has the emotional depth of a potato and that's why he contradicts himself, ham-fistedly deflects attention without considering the comeback and consequences etc. But the picture of Bruce as a calculating manipulator trying to pull the wool over people's eyes i just don't buy. He's more likely a good-to-have-a-beer-with decent guy that ties himself in knots because he's thick. The way he manages a football team and conducts himself in front of a camera might not be a true reflection of the person he is, but they're hard things to separate when we're so invested in the fortunes of the club he manages.

 

Man he claims to be an NUFC supporter but he managed sunderland for years and slated us along the way. He is the definition of a prick with zero class, should never be mentioned in the same sentence as KK or Sir Bob

I haven’t seen or heard anything that suggests he’s a nice guy. Some players like him, ok. Probably because he’s the opposite of a demanding manager.

I would like my boss if i only had to work 3 or 4 days a week
