I love how I changed all bar 2 of our current 11 and thats your only gripe

Fuck it go all out. Dubravka Trippier Salisu Schar Carlos Bakker Bissouma Alli Lindard ASM Zapata

This is pretty much my thought, we need multiple people in multiple positions, and this dude sounds like a scout type position which got fucking knows we need improvement in.

Something like that maybe?

I must be really shite at FlightRadar as I can't find that at all

Completely disappeared off the map now.

Class finish that.

That tackle

Only result we should want from that is a draw to be honest.

Good point for Burnley, but not a complete disaster, still 3 points behind us, and a game less to play in hand.

I don't think he was wrong about the takeover necessarily, it was more the way he continually goaded and treated the fans he meant to be representing, writing piece after piece simply to tap into the fewm that he himself made, sending out tweets just to get a load of reactionary bullshit. I actually think he gets a few thing right, its just really hard to take him seriously when he writes certain articles as there seems to be a clear bias there, whether he knows it or not. I'm also of the opinion that this window was always going to be a mess, and anyone thinking otherwise was kidding themselves, everyone we go in for knows several things: 1) We are absolutely desperate for quality reinforcements due to our league position and new found long term ambitions. 2) We now have a bucket load of cash that we can supposedly spend and teams are going to want to maximise the amount they can rip us off. 3) We have to buy pretty much two thirds of a team as there has been such a prolonged period of time without investment in the playing squad. 4) The January window is notoriously tough to operate in, as most teams don't want to sell there best players mid-season. We we're going into the window in such a position of weakness it's actually mental, they could have obviously done better to this point, I don't think there is any disputing that, but with all the intentions in the world I think this was the way it was always going to pan out. The only thing I think that could have alleviated the issues we're experiencing is hiring a DOF, but even with one in place I think we'd still have run into a lot of the same issues, and its such a vital role in modern day football that they need to get it right, so taking their time and doing due diligence was probably the right strategy.

Surprised no-one has tried to find the flight on Flight Radar tbh

I've missed the boat on this one, why are Everton so fucked at the moment? It has to be more to it then just Rafa frustrations, and him falling out with everyone. There seems to be a huge rift between the club board and the fans and there being genuine anger towards them, as well as the fans fighting among themselves. How are they not able to spend any money? Is it just FFP?

Got one arranged against Al-Ittihad supposedly.

Just watched his NUFCTV interview, I love how honest he is, he doesn't try to pull the wool over people's eyes, he was asked about recent performances, and he mentioned "I thought we played really well against Man United, and against Watford, atleast until we scored".

Still feels weird watching the highlights and seeing players that we haven't had for a minimum of 4 years

Yeah, it's definitely the players reverting to the type and playing a style that has been ingrained in them for so long, Eddie Howe is an attacking coach that has had to play a certain way due to the limitations of the current squad, long term he will 100% want to go for the jugular when we get ahead.

Apparently there have been a lot of news coming out over the last 10 minutes

Didn't realize that if we beat Everton next game, we'll only be a point behind them. Feels pretty mental that.

So the two games we have won this season are the only two games of the season ive not been able to watch

When you're not watching the game, its really hard to get an accurate picture of how the game has went based on this forum, some people seem to think we've done well, and are looking positive, others think we've been alright but probably being edged and are second best, while other think we've been atrocious
