Well played.

Honestly have no idea how McTominay is playing Premier League football, never mind for Man Utd.

Colback levels of crap that bloke.

Man Utd so lucky they’re playing against Hudson-Odoi, Ziyech and Werner.

Hope Carrick has a plan B because it won’t be long before Chelsea score, despite Man Utd having every man behind the ball playing like a League Two team.

Man Utd all over the place already.

Come on, give them an absolute battering.

Reading the Everton forum and it’s really quite poisonous. Not just about Rafa but the players and club in general.

Reads a lot like here during our relegation seasons actually.

Is there a chance of them going down or even just getting dragged into it? Not a pot to piss in, DCL out for a long period and players not performing at all.

Tosun is also 4th choice striker. You won't find many better 4th choice strikers in the PL.

Guess we'll just have to disagree on Keane. First choice for Everton under Ancelotti & Benitez indicates there's something to him. Reckon he'd be able to get into most teams bar the top 3-4.

By comparison - we don’t even have a fourth striker.  

He’s been pretty shite everywhere recently apart from us.

His choice of job has been his biggest downfall. It was never going to work at Everton or Real, although I don’t begrudge someone taking the Real job.

The China move was ridiculous too.

Really excited to see Man Utd’s midfield of Matic, McTominay and Fred play against Chelsea.  

Could be four or five again today.

Mid-table without DCL and could they be dragged into a relegation fight? It’s not looking good for Rafa it has to be said, if they stick with him and back him in the transfer market, however, I think long-term he will bring a better degree of success for them than under previous managers. I fancy them to get a draw against Liverpool mind, still.

They can’t back him in the transfer window, he has nowt to spend. Other than a free transfer or loan, he won’t be getting anyone in January.

Ronaldo on the bench is pretty hilarious.

Looks the ball imo.

If it’s the same ball being used at Brentford, it’s barely even orange. More like yellow which is hardly going to help in snow.

I said it last week but fucking hell  Gordon for Everton is absolutely atrocious.

Barely League One level.

Given the money Everton have spent in recent years, their squad is absolutely fucking awful.

They poached that chap from Leicester didn’t they? The one credited with scouting Mahrez and Kante. 

Walsh I think his name is. Obviously hasn’t worked out quite as well there.

I hate this notion that just because you’re doing relatively well you can’t show any disapproval against your team at all.

 

They haven’t won since September and we’re pretty shit against a terrible Leeds side, nothing wrong with showing some anger at that.

 

Its like oh because it’s little old Brighton and they’re doing alright they should be invading the pitch and celebrating a nil nil with Leeds because of how far they’ve come or something, fuck that, it’s not fickle it’s just showing some displeasure when the team have been shit. They’ve not calling for the manager out or any ridiculous shit like that, it’s bullshit

As I said in the Rafa thread, similar here, Brighton are nine games without a win and playing really poorly.

It’s not a total surprise their fans are unhappy with that.

Massively hypocritical of our fans to judge the reaction of other fans based solely on their league position, “what more do they want?”.

Dread to think what Everton forums are like currently.

To be fair, there aren’t many managers who could only take one win from 10 games and survive significant criticism. 

Especially the manner of some of those defeats. Losing 5-2 at home to Watford.

If he doesn’t turn this game around he’s going to need a miracle with the run they’ve got coming up.

Rondon about having his shirt taken off him, not even looked at by VAR because he didn’t throw himself dramatically to the floor.

We only know of two relegations from the PL, and we know we won and returned at both times of asking.

 

The owners are minted, and they would literally do what Ashley did, but better, retain some experience in the squad, and add to it.

 

I cant predict the future, but from previous facts, I'd suggest we'd piss the Championship with these lot behind us.

 

 

 

HMS piss the league.

Maybe - but hes the type of plater we desparately need.

I’ve never been that keen on him since I saw how he presented a spaghetti bolognaise tbh.

Worrying thing is there aren’t any really bad teams this season. Norwich could have scored 3 or 4 today if Pukki had the right boots on. 

Which will be their downfall.

Pukki could have scored 3 or 4 every game. He doesn’t. Norwich’s goalscorer isn’t anywhere near as good as ours.

ASM was dreadful. 

Not sure anyone had a decent game tbf.

Even Dubravka should’ve done better for the second and cleared out the ball and the man. Was hesitant.

Mad he’s only ever scored 10+ goals in a season once (his season where he moved to Liverpool).

Has more yellow cards than goals over the last six seasons.

I'm sure Ritchie was in the top 5 chances created in the league only a few weeks ago.

 

Must be the reason he's in the team as he's dreadful defensively

I have no problem with him being in the team, to some degree. But he’s not a fucking defender.

If we put Wilson at LB, I’m sure he’d be exposed defensively too.

Steve Fuckin Bruce has a lot to answer for 

He does. But even despite the situation he left us in, we should (and will imo) stay up.

If we don’t. Bruce will obviously be partly to blame, but Howe will have a lot to answer for too.

Lamptey is brilliant 

Should be our number 1 target in January imo. Would improve us massively immediately and fits Howe’s style.
