Not every signing is going to work. Every top manager has had made some ricks . That being said look what a pre season together has done for these players (Miggy and Murphy being perfect examples). Gordon's desperate to do well and that attitude along with Eddie's coaching gives me all the faith that the lad can be a success here.

It's the Eddie Howe link !!

Outplayed and outfought the day. Emery set up Villa perfectly to exploit our weaknesses. Hopefully a big wake up call and leads to a refocusing and another run of wins for us

We're barely hanging on here

Trippier and Murphy isnt working the day . Getting ruined down that side. Gordon looking the headless chicken Everton fans talked about. Need to start getting at Ashley Young

Ramsey making the spaces for Watkins to expose that space between Trippier and Schar.

Midfield looks wide open the day

Poor all round that.

It's his first season here, he's had a hammy and he's come from the notoriously less physical Spanish league.

2-0 really flattered them . If DeGea hadn't pulled that great save out from Isak's header early doors we would have scored a hatful.

Had a far better game and did well for the assist. I was screaming at him to go outside Dalot more mind.

Isak is special man

Think we've just one of the biggest indications that Asm will be moved on in the summer. Offered little first half and Graeme Jones was apoplectic with him. It seems with Maxi it's one step forward and two steps back. Looked good at times last week but when Murphy's offering far more to the side and with a fit Joelinton due back it's looking like cameos at best in future.

Well done for resisting the "not comfortable with crosses" gag .

Thought Burn and Botman had the baby oil bandit well under control barring that early run and cross

I like Maxi and he's certainly trying but I just wonder about his decision making. So often he runs towards traffic when there's space on the outside for him . Even in the cup final he had Dalot on a yellow and never seemed to go at him again before Dalot was swapped for Wan Bissaka,.

All keepers have odd moments and mistakes . Allison at Liverpool has , so has De Gea at Manchester United , Lloris has had loads this season (including against us ha) and of course our old pal Pickford. It's Pope's turn in the spotlight and understandably so with what happened in the Liverpool game and then missing the final.

Gerrin !! Howay the lads !! Isak has to be first choice. What on earth is going on with Wilson he looks absolutely knackered even jsut coming off the bench. Willock tremendous in midfield.

Isak giving me Henry vibes the day

As others have said Dubravka out as number 2 and Karius in for me.

Need to use this disappointment as fuel to push on. Let's make fourth ours and get the Champion's League place. Schar needs to be upgraded on this summer as does Miggy and Burn can't be the left back any longer. All three are still good squad options however. As for Wilson, barring a positive turnaround as dramatic as his recent decline he needs dropping and we need to be starting Isak and giving him as much game time as possible to get him used to this league ready to hit the ground running next season.

Fucks sake

Totally switched off , terrible defending

If they get Bielsa he won't stand for any messing from the club like previous managers have had to put up with . As he's always done he'll give a list of the players he doesn't want, they won't be near the first team squad for training and he will rule every iota of that club or he walks. The mid week Murderball session will sort out the shithouses. In all honesty, though I adore Bielsa's coaching, if Everton get him I don't think he can keep them up . His style of play is based on a hard running game and I'm not convinced it can be properly instilled mid season. He'd be great to get them up out the Championship though and they'd be playing some liquid football.

It's worth exploring. See what the naming rights deal is and what the proposed name would be then put it to the supporters for a vote. So long as there is transparency about the process. The owners have supporter trust at the moment it would be foolish to disrupt that.
