He'd only be sat on the bench for the first 3 months anyway. The worst thing is you're not wrong.

Yeah I'm not really arguing against you Hawk or anybody in particular. Just aimlessly articulating my ramblings onto this place as usual.

I was actually slightly relieved on the replay because for some reason I thought Carroll had flicked it in. Once I'd realised it had gone straight in I started spitting venom about Simpson.

We need some fucking fullbacks. Seriously. Infact, we only really need one but to start playing that decent Italian lad we already have on our books.

True, but then we're also minus Enrique and Krul has turned into a top keeper this season. Don't think the squads are that much different. (if you're going to say Pards had José last season, he also didn't have Carroll OR Ba) We are definitely wasting the talents of our best players at the moment though, and while that continues to happen I will get more annoyed with Pardew by the week. Long ball shite is bad enough but it's even more unforgivable when you don't have the players to do it. Hughton's success was hitting on a reasonbly successful system with the players we had. 2 big men upfront, Barton finding his best position out wide, Nolan in central midfield. Pardew needs to start getting the best out of Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Ba, Tioté etc because at the moment he's failing to do so/not even trying to.

Also, like Wullie said a few days ago it would probably just end up being a shapeless mess. We've never seem to have been able to instruct our players into a more flexible system at any point in my time watching us.

Problem with 4-3-3 is the fullbacks are gash and for me we only have two forward players who could play in that system.

Both managers are working with similar squads in terms of talent and both are producing similar results. Both also have obvious faults. People are just attached to Hughton because they associate him with winning every week in the Championship and the fact he is obviously a stand up bloke who was harshly sacked. Fair enough tbh, I can see why people haven't warmed to Pardew since he got the job off his mistreatment. The idea that Hughton had us playing better football and was a brilliant motivator, I just don't think I can agree with at all.

On a rampage at the moment yee like. Think I'll start PMing you after every Everton defeat.

That's not the be-all-and-end-all you know, most people don't give a fuck what people on this forum think. I'd have him in the side ahead of Obertan any day of the week, don't see why he couldn't do a vaguely similar job to what Barton did last year, certainly not likely to be any worse than Obertan's been this year. And I do think he did a decent job out there for us in the Championship season, most people on this forum thought he was fucking dogshite in general before he had a few decent games for us not long back. I just don't rate him as a wide player at all. Barton did a job there because it's his best position.

Nah, he was completely wasted out wide and lead to him being routinely criticised on here even though it was clear as day he was our best central midfielder. Wouldn't want him anywhere near the wing in the Prem. Midfield 3 maybe, but that would involve changing to a different system - not gonna happen under Pardy.

tru dat. Think people are overglorifying us under Hughton tbh.

Wasn't the win against Liverpool under Pardy? (although tbf it's not like he had any time to change anything tactically)

Buying another keeper = http://images.bluegartr.com/images/smilies/meme/HerpDerp.png

Nah, he's gone way over the limit there and used 'Twitlonger'

Funny signing considering the form of their centre back pairing is their best thing at the moment. Coates must be shit or something.

Colo and Ba are our best players like.

Would get 100 a season.

We never built on our good start by changing the team when the going was good and incorporating our better players. Blind loyalty to the shit players and has no idea how to get our better players into the team and playing a better style of football. Also people like Jonas look completely burned out and the injuries are stacking up. I've got certain sympathy because the lack funds means we have far too many limited footballers in the squad and as such he only has so much to work with. However it's inexcusable that he can't get more out of what we do have.

They're both abysmal in possession. I highlighted Ryan Taylor because Yorkie absolutely bums him.

Half the reason Krul has to hoof the ball is because he's terrified to pass out to the shitehawk that is Ryan Taylor.

Sorry aye, it's Krul isn't it. One of those who you can't criticise. He was s**** tonight, and was in the last two games n'all. Who you gonna replace him with? That's the only bit i would consider retracting, purely because we've got no one decent in reserve. If Harper hadn't become a wreck of a keeper in the last two years, i'd be having him back in the team pretty sharpish. Laughable. Nearly as bad as the 5 for Ryan Taylor, who got fucking raped.

Honestly don't know how he's taking the brunt of criticism. I thought he played OK.

Yeah that would be mint. Because it would definitely be reinvested.
