Away banker this, sad to say

Ugh

Can see it now, Rooney is going to receive the ball out wide by the Paddock touchline where he’ll turn inside, look up towards the Park End net and unleash one right footed, into the top corner.
-
Is anyone actually enjoying match days anymore? It just feels like work. Can't imagine the joy of handing over hard earned money for the "pleasure" the 2 hours we are wasting is payment enough.
-
The way we are currently playing we are the perfect team for Arsenal. The type of team they often just turnover without breaking sweat.
We need to follow Watford's lead and get in their faces, make it difficult, but I can't see us playing like that as one of the biggest things we lack at the moment, apart from pace and goal scorers, is aggression and bite*
Start Davies, Vlasic and Lookman, play Sig as the 10. Yes the 3 young chaps will give the ball away (Davies was dispossessed far too much last night) but they appear to play without fear and will drive us forward.
*I must add that running up to the Arsenal home game last season we'd lacked bite and aggression and were getting turned over by shite like Watford and Southampton. It was a turning point in the season, a big game for us under the lights. I was hoping last night would have been this season's arsenal, but maybe it will be the actual arsenal game?

Obviously Baines, Gana, Rooney, Jagielka will be back in the side as well as Sigurdsson starting
I wonder if he will adopt a dogs of war type mentality and go with the old heads of Jags and Williams at centre back
Also any word on schneiderlin?
Pickford
Holgate Jagielka Williams Baines
Gana Schneiderlin
Mirallas. Vlasic
Sigurdsson
Rooney
Something like this perhaps?we really do need a new striker but for now could we get Rooney as an out and out striker, given his premier league scoring record, as long as we get 2 pacey wide players in the side with him and Sigurdsson looking to link up with him?
I worry about DCL being burned out and losing confidence

Put Kenny in for Holgate

DCL
We need pace, energy, and something different. The above gives us that. But of course he will play Rooney and we will be crap again with no pace or width.
Just to add that it is almost like he is more afraid of losing games than wanting to go out to win them. It is always risk off mode and backs to the wall. Go out and try to beat them, and set up players and tactics accordingly.
-
Vlasic to start
-
Would start DCL if they are going to play Mertesacker at CB.
They are pretty much in a bad run of their own and barely look convincing but then you don't need to be convincing to win against us.

hating them, going through the ball ache of swapping shifts, then having to give my premium shifts up to return the favour, and for what ?
-
Vlasic to start
Would start DCL if they are going to play Mertesacker at CB.
Vlasic and DCL ideally should take a break, they will get burnt out if they play 3 games a week. The question is can we afford a luxury to rest them.
When you think about it, our squad is really shit, isn't it.
-
We will sit back and try and steal a point. 5 at back. Will lose 4-0 still
-
We cannot afford the luxury to rest Vlasic or DCL for this game - maybe against Chelsea on Wednesday
And one's a 20 year old man, he'll cope with it - as will the 19 year old, he'll have to

We will fucking batter these .

Wouldn't mind DCL starting like, Lookman another option too - Think koeman will start with Gana & schneiderlin, & rooney could be the 9

Don't want to see Rooney anywhere near the field. But I have a feeling he will be the vocal point of everything that goes on and it will make us suffer.

Koemans already said he's playing sunday ha, I wouldn't play him as the 9 as we definitely wont score - he comes far too deep, theres never anyone in the centre.
-
We could do worse than playing last night's lineup with Rooney in place of Klaassen (he's not a great midfield passer but he's better than anyone else we have) and Cuco left behind in the locker room (among other defensive changes).

If you're playing Rooney next to Gana in the centre, I'd go with more width in the rest of the team.

Well done by Paddy Power. That is truly the perfect tagline for our match.
-
Honestly I am afraid this will become a blood bath. 3-0 sounds about right to me.
We just have absolutely nothing in the final third. Every match I just sit there in bewilderment about how we will get a goal or a good shot on target
-
paddy power is a cunt and he can fuck off
-
I have zero confidence about this game, or any game to b e honest as long as Koeman and his clan continue to steal a wage. We will start off nervous with misplaced passes everywhere, then gradually start to put a couple of moves together, which will win us a corner, followed by a shot into row z, that will fool us all into thinking we are going to get that first goal. Then the inevitable will happen, Arsenal will either score a wonder goal, or we will make another horrendous mistake and we will go on to lose comfortably 3 or 4 nil...sound familiar.
BTW anyone changing their mind about going I'll have your ticket please ;D
-
We're gonna win this... but it will be a false dawn. That's my prediction.

Struggling to name a half decent side to face these. Hmmm shall I choose this shit cunt to play up front, or that shit cunt? Or that not yet good enough lad? Or that shit cunt to play out wide or that other shit cunt to play out wide? Or that other not ready yet lad? Or that shit cunt in defence or the other, slightly less, shit cunt.
This squad is fucking appalling.
-
Right back could be a real problem as Koeman will probably feel justified to drop Holgate and it sounds like Kenny had been struggling with an injury before.
With Schneiderlin injured, that could mean Davies coming in. I would be content with a Vlasic, Sigurdsson and Mirallas attacking midfield with DCL up front.
I don't want to write off Klaassen but if he is really not up to scratch and struggling enormously then in the meantime he shouldn't make the bench, let his position be taken up by someone else who plays in a similar role but provides more impact, perhaps Besic, McCarthy or even this Beningame lad who seems to be getting some very good reviews.
-
the bench is wasted for Klaassen, him and Sandro really need game time to get confidence/some form/used to england.. can only be done in the award winning under 23 side.. they would come back with so much more confidence.
-
All I care about if we do lose will they fucking put him out of his misery and sack him!

Despite Mirallas Vlasic and Lookman playing with better forward impetus and attacking width...koeman will revert to no width and a minimum of two no 10s I rekon ...it's really getting harder to get up for it ..and not expect more of the same Martina Williams dros at the back.

Please please please no Rooney

Am I correct in saying if we lose by 2 or more goals tomorrow we drop into the bottom three?

I agree, but the stubborn jackass has already promised in advance there will be.

It's odd we're the only team to take points off City this season, as we've been absolutely abysmal. I've gone for a win but broke ranks on whether Koeman should go or not. Last time I did that we tanked someone when Martinez was here. Let's hope for a repeat of that.

I don't mind Rooney, as long as he dont play the central striker.. but if we play him on either side uptop it means we will lack pace.. midfield is the only position i can see him being a success for us, maybe in a 3 with Gana-Gueye and Tom Davies.

Yeah, I would try him beside Gana (too little pace beside Schneiderlin - I'd use Davies for that) before I gave up entirely. As a midfield "box to box" rotation, it's worth a go. But Koeman wants to center his attack around him, and he won't give up the ghost.

At least Rooney will have the narrative on his side

Rooney plays wherever he wants. That's the problem. He has the discipline of a youth player

You would also have to let him know this is his last chance before his tour of the American minor leagues. See if it puts his head on straight. I don't know if Koeman has enough credibility left with the dressing room to do that, but he has to try.

Potential for this to change our season, it almost certainly won't but there's always a tiny bit of me that will believe we can win tomorrow despite everything putting to the opposite.

Rooney has been one of our better players don't you know. We seem to struggle to know how to utilise him but he's not a major weakness or anything.
-
I’m surprised we’ve not seen any Rooney for player-manager shouts yet.
I can’t even remember who the last top flight player-manager was...anyone?

Rooney has been racking up 5s since the opening couple matches of the season, and has been wrecking team shape. He's surely not the sole culprit, but he's hardly a shining beacon amongst the darkness, either.
You have to move him to midfield, and he has to become more of a team player. As has been noted before, this why Ferguson started to phase him out.

Ferguson played him every week. Built a team around him
Played him wherever he could.
You dont like or rate rooney, we all get that. He's been decent for us this season tho
He's a better cf than dcl, in a different way
He's cleverer than sigurdsson in the no ten role
He's a better pass of the ball than schneiderlin, gueye and Davies from deep

I don't understand this myth of Rooney in midfield. He was shit when he played there for United. He was shit when he played there for England.
He should be on the bench at best. He was done at United and he's still done here. Romance counts for nothing in football. A shame, but there it is.
-
It's not just me, everyone scoring matches (here and in the media) have been giving out the 5s. He no longer has the pace to roam all over the pitch and still be effective, but he wants to play like he's still 25. He can't. He could still be a very effective player (likely in midfield, I agree with your 3rd sentence/assertion) if he would accept the role and be disciplined. But he wants to play "hero ball" and just do whatever the hell he wants. It's doing nobody any good.
Sigurdsson with space to operate (and no Rooney on the pitch) was much more effective creating for others than Rooney has been all season. Still not convinced the two can play together, but we haven't really tried Rooney playing in midfield behind Sigurdsson.
So...we should try that before we give up completely. But Sigurdsson is part of the near-medium future of Everton, and it's more important to get him settled than it is to play out sentimental fantasies. If Rooney can't play with Sigurdsson, it's clear who needs to be dropped (from a footballing standpoint).

Was he shit because he couldn't do it, or shit because he didn't want to do it? That's where being a strong manager has to come into play. Because he can't be a lone striker anymore, and it would be madness for him to displace Sigurdsson.

At the time he was saying it was where he saw himself playing to continue his career at the top, so I'd guess it's safe to say that he couldn't do it to a high enough level.
If we insist on shoe-Horning him into the side with Sigurdsson, then hasn't Sigurdsson played centre mid quite successfully for Iceland?
Personally, I'd much rather have Davies in there with his movement and forward running. Even when he's not in top form he gives us something different than any other player we have.

He may well be better than all those you mentioned, but he's old enough to know he can't play all over the pitch to the detriment of the team ....yet he does it every game without fail ....and it's cost us a few times already .

I'd start Davies beside Schneiderlin for sure, might give Rooney a shot when Gana starts. If it doesn't work, go with Davies full time with Klaassen backing Davies up. Rooney as a reserve for Sigurdsson or to give us a 2nd striker late.
But Sigurdsson is the future, and needs space to operate (as we saw mid-week). Need to build around that, see what we have. At least give him a solid 2-month run.

Really don't get the lookman love in
He does well for five mins then disappears
Mirallas plays in fits and starts
Dcl isn't the answer, he Should be brought through over time rather than every game
Does sigurdsson want the ball? He want set pieces but he's hardly showing all game
-
Lookman is more likely to grow into a game than Mirallas. We've watched Mirallas do this for five years or so now. Lookman is younger and adapting to what is a huge step up from charlton.
The rest is bob on though

Koeman really needs ro win this....lost points should have gained so needs to try and redress the balance a bit.

Thing is given any amount time both those you mentioned would improve our shape as they did Thursday, Lookman and mirallas have largely been left out by Koeman while he opts for no width or pace ,while three players falling over each other as AMC ...as for Sig remove the Rooney wall and he will thrive ...as we have seen on the rare occasion he's been aloud the space as a ten .imho.

Just throw this at the pitch, see if it sticks. Doing that anyway isn't he? Lennon is capable defensively in support of Holgate, as well as offering a bit of spark going forward. If we're chasing it late on, then get Lookman on. Or vice versa.

Haha whoops yeah I posted that when I'd had a few to be fair. I'm sure the reality of a beautiful win today will change my outlook on things though!

Looking back at how poor we were up to this game last season defeats to Norwich , Bournemouth , Burnley , Chelsea , Southampton and Watford and just a point off Swansea and Palace . I remember the crowd getting behind the team and creating an immense atmosphere that I think unsettled Arsenal . Hope we get the same again and the start point for most fans will be Koeman getting his team selection right . It could be his last throw of the dice .

A few staunch tackles early would see the crowd up on its feet.
-
Right, Besic and Mcarthy it is then for the first ten minutes !
-
Basically it's grim as Fuck isn't it?
We're not 1 or 2 players from sorting things out, we are miles off
It's sad like but I'm 34 years old. When I'm 68, which is double my age. Everton football club will have the same amount of honours, the only difference is that we might be a division or 2 lower
We're not winning fuck all again in the rest of my life. There's literally no reason to stick around, but I will do, like a Fucking mug with no light at the end of the tunnel to look forward to
It's basically totally shite being an Evertonian, they owe us all so fucking much but they never deliver
That's some impressive spelling and punctuation control for a post saturday night out post. Well, apart from the missing full stops.
-
Fair to say I have low expectations for this one. I think Mirallas and Vlasic have to start. Rooney too obviously. Still can't see where the goals are coming from though.
-
We'll get beat. Arsenal should've beat Watford easily and were cheated, and Watford are a much better team than us. Also, Arsenal have taken more points off us than any other Prem team. Also, we're garbage.
How's that for a rallying cry?
-
I think we will win ...
-
Really fancy we will scrape a win today 2-1 DCL and Rooney.........
-
Pickford
Holgate Keane Jagielka Baines
Davies Gana Sigurdsson
Lookman Niasse Vlasic
Stekelenburg, Williams, McCarthy, Rooney, Mirallas, Calvert-Lewin, Sandro
-
I just can't see it unfortunately. We're both in poor form but at the end of the day, Arsenal have good players. Going forward, we're relying on:
Rooney (who spends more time going back)
DCL (who'll be playing right wing-back)
Mirallas (who'll likely go missing, if he even plays)
Lookman (bench)
Klaassen (jury's out, but he's hardly pulling up any trees)
Sandro (keep running lad)
Sigurdsson (thank God for all those free kicks we're scoring now)
Niasse (our one true hope, but we can only bring him on after 70 minutes and hope something bounces off his arse)

Be surprised if Baines can perform what is required in that position.
-

Is that 5 at the back and 'you other 5 just run around up front somewhere'?
-
Davies back to bench warming.
-
So going back with the formation against the big club which always means we lose.
At least I should get max points on the prediction league.
-
Team for today.

Cor, odd old shape, that. 😳
I'd be very surprised if we get many forays forward from Baines.
I can't see us having much possession or control of the midfield either.
With three/five at the back I would've tried:
Pickford
Keane Williams Jagielka
Kenny Davies Sigurdsson Baines
Lookman Calvert-Lewin Vlasic
Stekelenburg, Holgate, Gana, McCarthy, Rooney, Niasse, Sandro
-
Robles on the bench. First time this season?
-
Good to see Rooney in midfield...a little bit hopeful...fool that i am
-
Let's just get this over with, we're going to roll over here. Koeman will keep his job and the fume levels will be so high.
-
Explains why Gueye was rested Thursday if he's being expected to play midfield on his own today.
-
I like that team
-
Poor Davies, plus I'd rather have Holgate on the bench than Martina.
And I see Koeman has kept true to his word of moving one of most effective wingers in recent weeks right into the centre of the pitch. Fuck knows how the front 5 will play.
-
Robles on the bench. First time this season?
He’s so clueless we’ll bring him on upfront in the second half.
-
McCarthy is fit and still not in the squad
-
Don't mind the formation, if that's the way its lines up then it's wrong.
Vlasic isn't a CM, swap him with Rooney (who also isn't a CM).
-
I like the shape and team,, just dont understand Vlasic as a CM instead of Davies.. lol wtf is that about..
-
I like that team
Me too. It's not a bad idea to use wingbacks when you don't have decent wingers.
Not sure it will serve the purpose, but at least it's something different.
-
Feel that we're likely to get overrun in midfield today
-
Poor Davies, plus I'd rather have Holgate on the bench than Martina.
And I see Koeman has kept true to his word of moving one of most effective wingers in recent weeks right into the centre of the pitch. Fuck knows how the front 5 will play.
LOL
Koeman ' if you perform well in your position, i will move you into the centre of the pitch'
Holgate should be on the bench, if one of our 3 cb's get injured we dont have CB on the bench.. plus i would actually start Holgate, let him get used to playing, those mistakes he makes will go away with game time.
i'd play Davies too, probably dropping Rooney. and playing Siggy next to DCL. glad we have 2 wingers on the bench tho.
-
It's a decent lineup although I imagine Rooney will drop in and Vlasic will go forward more.
-
The shape won't be like that tweet has it. That's just the social media team putting names down where they think they'll play... they don't know. They had Holgate at LB the other day ffs.
-
Ferguson played him every week. Built a team around him
Played him wherever he could.
You dont like or rate rooney, we all get that. He's been decent for us this season tho
He's a better cf than dcl, in a different way
He's cleverer than sigurdsson in the no ten role
He's a better pass of the ball than schneiderlin, gueye and Davies from deep
Agreed, but, he tries to do all three at the same time.
-
The shape won't be like that tweet has it. That's just the social media team putting names down where they think they'll play... they don't know. They had Holgate at LB the other day ffs.
If he'd played left back he wouldnt have been in the position to give away the pen.
Give the twitter person the managers job!
-
We get overrun in midfield with Gueye and Schneiderlin playing, maybe with a more mobile player like Vlasic we might retain a bit more composure. He's showed an ability to hold the ball well something which Davies seems to lack right now. Davies seems to play at his best much further forward.
-
The shape won't be like that tweet has it. That's just the social media team putting names down where they think they'll play... they don't know. They had Holgate at LB the other day ffs.
To be fair to the social media team, Koeman might actually be playing Calvert Lewin at right wing back and Gana as a number 10.

sky all over the Spurs Shite game already, here comes the 10 mins discussion of us v the arse now
They do that for every early kick off and people complain before every early kick off
-
Rebecca Lowe, paraphrased: "I never played, gentlemen...so can you tell me WTF I am missing as to why Davies isn't on the pitch?"
-
He’s so clueless we’ll bring him on upfront in the second half.
C'mon man talk sense, he'll bring him on as a number 10.
-
Davies hasn't really played enough agreed but he's hardly putting performances in that scream start me either.
-
Another mishmash of nothingness in the midfield and forward positions. Awful selection.
-
Davies hasn't really played enough agreed but he's hardly putting performances in that scream start me either.
At least he has a heart, won't hide and won't stop running, how many of those players picked ahead of him can say that.

Has he???

If you want positives, it seems evidence that his position is tenuous and he knows it. Everything against the wall, except of course he starts Rooney in attack because he'll die on that hill.
-
Davies is not the answer to everything
-
At least he has a heart, won't hide and won't stop running, how many of those players picked ahead of him can say that.
Vlasic who actually has been picked ahead of him?
-

That and he's been a striker since he was sixteen. I know he isn't the best in that position but stop talking like it's some sort of outlandish selection when we've got Niasse on the fucking bench!
-
Working streams kids?

Has he???
https://twitter.com/MurrayBoxing/status/922073895481602049
No idea, surely not?

No problem with Vlasic playing, Davies offers more than Schneiderlin this season.

Robbie Earle slating Koeman, talking up Silva...

Not a big fan of this.

Sorry about the error it should have read Davies offers more than Schneiderlin this season, I like Schneiderlin but think he has been awful this season. Anyway prove me wrong Koeman, give us something to be excited about, even if it's not the result give us a performance.

sky all over the Spurs Shite game already, here comes the 10 mins discussion of us v the arse now
I do find it a bit odd that given they both played much earlier this week we’re playing the earlier game.
I get why, but it shouldn’t be that way.
-
Sky showing Rooney in midfield.
Fucking hell no. Please no.
-
C'mon Everton
-
well...here we go.
-
looks like we have some real Merseyside weather today?
-
like a hot knife through butter, that
-
Damn. Inches away from being right on the first scorer.
-
Should already be 1-0 but for Pickford.
-
That was embarrassingly easy for them. Should be 0-1.
-
Sky showing Rooney in midfield.
Fucking hell no. Please no.
NBC have him up front with DCL.
-
looks like we have some real Merseyside weather today?
All over the Uk mate. Grim as fuck.
-
Looking good 👌🏼
-
We make it look so easy for other teams, yet so hard for ourselves to create those type of openings.
-
NBC have him up front with DCL.
Given the way he plays they’re both probably right
-
Ha, could’ve been a penalty there. Very clumsy.
-
...wtf was that for defending
-
All over the Uk mate. Grim as fuck.
properly sets the mood, at least
-
Jesus think we need a goal.
-
Defence with more holes than Swiss cheese.
-
Ha, could’ve been a penalty there. Very clumsy.
it was so odd, the ref was confused and swallowed his whistle
-
Acres in that central midfield area.
Didn't see that coming.
-
Arsenal had more shots on goal in 7 minutes than we've managed all season.
-
http://www.navixsport.com/sport.php?id=3105&page=nlslksslkayslkla
-
Flat track bullies, meet the flattest track you could ever want to see
-
We look very nervous, need to settle fast.
-
We are the home team...
-
Just turned it on. Reading the comments..... I take it weve started dreadfully?
-
Yeah deffo the home team
-
Pickford wow !
-
Pickford magic there
-
Lucky not to be already out of this.
-
Great save but by God we are shite. Just wide open spaces. Its saying theyve been superb but we could form an 11 that can pass it about under no pressure
-
What a fucking save
-
Pickford brilliant again must think he's still at Sunderland
-
Commentator got Liverpool on his mind...
-
Pickford a positive
-
Can’t seem to lay a glove on them in midfield
-
Rioooneyyyyyy
-
Rooneyyyyyyyyy
-
We are losing central midfield. Maybe revert you a back four?
-
Commentator got Liverpool on his mind...
Yeah, he must have accidentally looked down at his Liverpool Annual while he was talking.
-
ha, GET IN!!!!
-
Have that!!!
-
Should've passed that. Greedy bastard 😜
-
Wow. 1-0.
-
What a fucking goal
-
Wayne Fucking Rooney. Remember the name
-
Shut up all you Rooney critics.
-
GERRRRRRINNN
-
Haha what a fucking goal. Brilliant Rooney brilliant Gueye (though Im not sure he actually got the ball)
-
Boom. Great from gueye and Rooney.
-
Wow! Arsenal huffing and puffing but we score first haha!
-
You beauty!!
-
Didn't expect that
-
Can see it now, Rooney is going to receive the ball out wide by the Paddock touchline where he’ll turn inside, look up towards the Park End net and unleash one right footed, into the top corner.
Wrong area of the pitch but who gives a fuck!
👌🏻
-
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEY! <3
-
was a very nice goal
-
Rooney...that's why!
-
Not bad wayne. Not bad.
-
We need a bit of luck when we’re playing with such little confidence.
-
Defence with more holes than Swiss cheese.
What is the point of Gana/Schneiderlin if they can gallop ..... NEVERNIND GET IN GET IN GET IN WAZZA GET IN
Can I just say as I've been saying for weeks - Rooney must start every game!
-
Let this be the catalyst.
-
That's were he should be up front, fuckin Tazer him if he come back in our half
-
Fuck me my streams behind.
-
Basketball game this.
-
End to end stuff this!
-
Didn't see that coming!
Amazing what some pressing can do.
Wenger will obviously say it was a foul from Gana, but if you put pressure on you will get breaks like that.
Excellent finish from Rooney.
-
Fair challenge by Gueye
-
Williams walking a tightrope again.
-
That’s a harsh yellow.
-
They are cutting right through is still. Weve got to be more compact
-
Is that goodison I can hear, it's been that long
-
Ffs williams
-
somebody needs to mark Ramsey, for Christ's sake
-
Pickford and Rooney are quality...
-
Asking a lot of Pickford this afternoon
-
I was happy with three at the back and at least we have some sort of plan today
-
They look like they're going to score every time they enter our half. We might need to score 5 to win this.
-
Why are we so open
-
Shades of the City game. I just hope we can hold out a little longer this time
-
Never get the all 11 back for a corner setup. No chance to break.
-
At least everyone is showing real commitment. Pickfords outstanding
-
Asking a lot of Pickford this afternoon
We did pay 30M for him. Not unreasonable
-
When we attack there's just too much space between the defence and Gana, either one of the defender needs to step up or one of Gana or sig need to occupy that space. There's just too much space and indecision there right now for arsenal to exploit.
-
Why are we so open
No Davies or Schneiderlin, we haven't played 3 at the back effectively in my living memory.
-
Fair play, Sigurdsson and Rooney played well together there
-
Baines has got to attack that header more.
-
We did pay 30M for him. Not unreasonable
He certainly needs to earn his dough this week. Could do with a little help from the 2 lines in front of him though.
-
Great to see Baines up the pitch.
Williams is likely to get sent-off today.
Wish we had another CB on the bench.
-
No Davies or Schneiderlin, we haven't played 3 at the back effectively in my living memory.
The only time we have looked ok was 3 at the back. First half against Stoke when we led and here. Normally we like this but with no hope attacking
-
We look good.
-
Baines pussied out on that far post header
-
Sigurddsson looking very good
-
Vlasic is a player
-
Amazing seeing some pressure on the ball
-
Great run Vlas.
-
Gueye is on fire here
-
Should be a booking for Bellenderin
-
Mad game this. Like watching summat from the 70s.
-
Vlasic, gotta appreciate the directness.
-
Gueye has been brilliant so far. Won so much ball. We look an attacking threat too. Just a bit worrying when they have it
-
Gueye isn't quite Kante level of awesomesauce, but he does a good impression.
-
Great strength from Calvert-Lewin there.
-
Who's got a hard on for the Vlad?
-
Mad game this. Like watching summat from the 70s.
Loving it tho
-
Gueye isn't quite Kante level of awesomesauce, but he does a good impression.
Haha, awesomesauce
-
Still dodgy defensively but we look far better with the ball.
-
Vlasic is such a player
-
Lovely Vlas !!
-
How good is Vlasic
-
Absolutely loving vlasic !
-
Vlasic rapidly becoming my favourite player
-
If we played with this intensity majority of the time, Koeman wouldn't be as hated as he is right now.
-
Fuck me how good is Vlasic
-
Who is their left back. No idea but commentator seems to pronounce his name and does it every chance he gets
-
So much more Everton this.
-
Gueye isn't quite Kante level of awesomesauce, but he does a good impression.
He's brilliant
-
Can we give Vlasic a payrise and extend his contract quick.
-
Done well Vlasic but the wrong pass. Hope he learns that wuickly
-
I'm gay for Vlasic
-
Vlasic is my new fave
-
Vlasic surprises me more and more. Really like that lad.
-
Who is their left back. No idea but commentator seems to pronounce his name and does it every chance he gets
Isnt he the 1 we tried to sign on a free in the summer
-
Who is their left back. No idea but commentator seems to pronounce his name and does it every chance he gets
Kolasinic. We tried to get him but he chose the Arse.
-
Jags defended Sanchez quite well there
-
Vlasic surprises me more and more. Really like that lad.
Little bit of hazard about him...early days though
-
Got to take Williams off.
-
Wankers trying to get Williams sent off.
-
Williams is going to cost us. Can see a red for him.
-
Fuck off Sanchez, wee cunt.
-
I'd change williams he's an accident waiting to happen
-
Surely that's simulation? He's up in th air before Williams touches him
-
Williams, going to be lucky to last 90 mins here.
-
Its a dive too
-
Wankers trying to get Williams sent off.
A few Everton players hoping for the same.
-
You could put Davies on for Ash and change the shape.
-
Ref starting to give them everything
-
Dodgy ref this.. anything could happen.
-
Willams red is an inevitability here.
-
Williams playing fine, but no doubt he's a marked man after Thursday.
-
You could put Davies on for Ash and change the shape.
The shape is why we winning
-
The shape is why we winning
But we won't win with 10 men. Or with Cuco.
-
Really not feeling the Sig at the minute. Not offering anything really game by game.
-
Gueye on a tightrope now.:(
-
Gana will be susceptible to a sending-off now that he is the only central midfielder.
Get Williams off and Davies on.
-
I'm getting that feeling we will get fucked over by a terrible decision today.
-
But we won't win with 10 men. Or with Cuco.
We playing aggressively. We have no other cb on the bench. Have to be smart about things
-
Gana will be susceptible to a sending-off now that he is the only central midfielder.
Get Williams off and Davies on.
This, Davies will relieve some of the pressure. We have no chance without Gana.
-
Would love to of seen Usmanov next to Moshiri.
-
This, Davies will relieve some of the pressure. We have no chance without Gana.
We have little chance with 10 men.
We have no chance whatsover with 9.
-
You'll never see the Mosh and Vic Reeves together.
-
DCL doing a decent job.
-
Shape is terrible.
-
We have little chance with 10 men.
We have no chance whatsover with 9.
Just as trivia, when was the last time we were down to 9?
-
Gana needs to steady on now
-
Twat
-
That's fucked it.
-
That was coming wasn't it.
-
Was coming.
-
SHIT
-
Pickford has to do better. Poor keeping
-
merde. That was coming, I guess. Nobody stepped up other than Bainesy.
-
That was coming. Pickford almost with a wonder save.
-
Bollocks
-
Pickford should have done better there. Was having a good game too till then.
-
Shambles every time they get the ball. We were told Koeman could organise a team, at bare minimum.
-
floodgates could open now
-
Shame we couldn’t get to HT. With our fragile confidence we needed some extra luck.
-
This long diagonal to DCL is grim
Fair enough try it from time to time but you can't build every attack on it.
Also, Rooney has given the ball away in dangerous positions a few times now with lazy passes
-
Would've been 2 or 3 nil down but for Pickford though, so he can be forgiven a minor error.
-
Stream crapped out for their goal. I'm blaming the internet for it.
-
Can't say Arsenal don't deserve it, just need to keep the heads up now
-
It had to be a dodgy cunt like Monreal too, didn't it?
-
Pickford should have done better there. Was having a good game too till then.
Like what exactly?
-
5 defenders and we're wide open
-
Not having the keeper baring the blame for that. Mad men. Twatted it from about 5 yards out
-
It's not a shambles at all, Arsenal always dominate possession we've shown grit and an ability to do something on the break. This is a decent half against a much more talented side
-
Would've been 2 or 3 nil down but for Pickford though, so he can be forgiven a minor error.
Wasn’t Pickford’s fault for that goal.
-
Gana is so exposed here.
He's gone from lining-up with 2/3 defensive central midfielders to only one.
Very strange.
-
Pickford must feel like he's never left Sunderland. 16 attempts on our goal already.
-
Like what exactly?
Like not push the first save out into the middle of our own box. Yes it takes a deflection but its still very close to him.
-
We’re so shit aren’t we. Boot Koeman, offer Barkley his contract again and get someone in who knows how to set up a football team.
-
Stones Sanchez 1-on-1, Pickford single-handedly has kept us in the match
-
Pickford couldnt do fuck all about that
-
Getting whipped now, not good enough
-
Would've been 2 or 3 nil down but for Pickford though, so he can be forgiven a minor error.
Kenny fell asleep and let Monreal run in
-
Sanchez is a horrible cunt
-
Like not push the first save out into the middle of our own box. Yes it takes a deflection but its still very close to him.
I think that's very harsh. The speed that came in at with the deflection, I think he did all he could.
-
We were getting whipped before the goal, people just chose not to notice cos we scored out of the blue.
-
We are still showing Balls, but Rooney dropping deep again where he gets in the fucking way and leaves DCL alone.
-
Centre mids pick it up and look wide and there's nobody there and they end up having to run into trouble
-
One goal against the run of play, solid defence for about 15 minutes. Not good enough.
-
Sanchez is a bit of a cunt isnt he
-
We were getting whipped before the goal, people just chose not to notice cos we scored out of the blue.
Fair
"Getting whipped from the start, not good enough"
Fixed my misguided comment
-
Kenny fell asleep and let Monreal run in
Nah. It was just fortunate it fell at his feet. You can’t follow a player just in case it might end up at his feet when the ball is nowhere near him to start with.
-
Sanchez is a horrible cunt
He's Suarez-lite.
Amazing player, absolute winner but absolute cunt
-
We're so shit aren't we. Boot Koeman, offer Barkley his contract again and get someone in who knows how to set up a football team.
We conceded a goal. It happens. Get yourself a spine
-
Dopey pot headed ref
-
Sanchez has got a right strop on today
-
Best half of the season so far, look vulnerable at the back but at least we finally look dangerous up top as well.
-
We had one shot on target, they had nine. Pickford is earning his keep today.
-
Also where did two minutes of added time come from? No subs or injuries.
-
Been open defensively all match, if it weren't for Pickford heroics then we'd be four down.
-
Our shape hasn't been good. Also Rooney (apart from the goal) and Sig have been poor so far according to me.
-
He's Suarez-lite.
Amazing player, absolute winner but absolute cunt
So more a rumblecunt than thundercunt?
-
We're shite as a unit.
But Vlasic looks a player.
-
We conceded a goal. It happens. Get yourself a spine
It's more that we should've conceded 5 but for Pickford/poor finishing.
Your loyalty to Koeman is delusional.
-
amazing its 1 all, its like watching a slow car crash this, absolutely being cut to ribbons
-
Odds on Giroud getting the winner?
-
Much better commitment from the players today. It's a substantial improvement on the Burnley game. :)
-
On balance, we were lucky that half as it could’ve been worse.
We did at least play in some patches, but still not really creating much.
Rooney needs to stay in that area where he scored.
Arsenal much more likely to score a second than we are though.
-
Been open defensively all match, if it weren't for Pickford heroics then we'd be four down.
I don't mean to cause anyone nightmares, but what a difference having a good quality keeper makes - imagine if we still had Tim Howard in goal.
-
Sanchez is a bit of a cunt isnt he
Monreal isnt far behind him in the cuntish stakes, this is why i cant stand Arsenal, team is full of cunts
-
Nah. It was just fortunate it fell at his feet. You can’t follow a player just in case it might end up at his feet when the ball is nowhere near him to start with.
Thought that myself, that rebound was better than a pass, no blame to Pickford who has been fantastic. Think the ref is starstruck towards Arsenal as well. And Sanchez is a cunt.
On the plus side, great goal by Rooney, Vlasic been excellent, as has Gana. Pickford brilliant.
-
Stream cut out as they scored.
Shame we couldn't have held out till half time.
-
How many of our players would get into the Arsenal team? Their quality is on a different level to us.
-
It's more that we should've conceded 5 but for Pickford/poor finishing.
Your loyalty to Koeman is delusional.
No. You support your team.
-
how slow and cumbersome does Siggy look, not at the races at all
-
I'm going for the positive, when have we competed at all first 45 this season apart from City? we are better than for yonks today surely? these are very talented it's not FC flip flip this one.
-
Not a fan of our hoof it to DCL and hope he becomes peak Brazil Ronaldo and scores a goal on his own approach
-
More attempts on goal in 1 half than any team all season.
And there's people still defending Koeman.
-
Would've been 2 or 3 nil down but for Pickford though, so he can be forgiven a minor error.
He's done it a couple other times this season, parrying the ball back into danger. Definitely something that he needs to improve his technique on, can't think of many other areas though.
-
No. You support your team.
You can support a team, while still recognizing problems.
Or is this a dictatorship and fans can’t have a voice, unless it’s unwaveringly uncritical?
-
How many of our players would get into the Arsenal team? Their quality is on a different level to us.
Gana and Pickford of our present team.
-
In reality its been pretty shit again. Had 2 or 3 whove played well though and at least weve shown some aggression and threat. Defensively though we are wide open. They look like they could cut through us every time they get the ball.
-
Pickford wasnt to blame at all imo, he had to readjust with the deflection. Kenny should have reacted quicker and got in front of Monreal. Hes young, but he has to be switched on if he wants to go from a good reserve player to a very good starting player. Were still in this, but we need another body in mid to stop their control otherwise we are just going to keep drawing them against our back 3 and with Williams on a card and NO pace whatsoever there, its a disaster waiting to happen.
-
On a positive note by this time tomorrow we may need a manager.
Any morsels of comfort we may have got from Rooney's goal is just papering over the cracks.
Giroud must be watching this and thinking "must give the wife a good seeing too tonight for saving me from this"
-
Not a fan of our hoof it to DCL and hope he becomes peak Brazil Ronaldo and scores a goal on his own approach
I mean, theoretically we are playing 2 up top. It shouldn't be that way.
-
He's done it a couple other times this season, parrying the ball back into danger. Definitely something that he needs to improve his technique on, can't think of many other areas though.
The first shot leading up to their goal took a deflection off Sigurdsson. I don't think Pickford can be blamed for that really.
-
Defensively we are very poor, Pickford has been superb. However, I feel we've shown more guts and passion in this half than any other time this season. We're riding our luck, and we probably will get tonked in the second half, but at least we're seeing the team try more.
-
Think Klassen for Rooney at some point in the half. Really believe he is one flick or assist away from being amazing
-
He's done it a couple other times this season, parrying the ball back into danger. Definitely something that he needs to improve his technique on, can't think of many other areas though.
That was a deflection how the hell can you blame Pickford for that ? Been our best player in front of an invisible defence, 5-1 without him by halftime.
-
this 3 at the back thing is a massive waste of time
-
We will continue to be dominated, and lose 2-1, and Koeman will be safe because we battled.
-
Hang on do I have to be supporting Koeman by saying I think I see a lot of positives out there today? Yes Arsenal have carved us open but it's the first time this season I have seen passion, commitment and a willingness to try things. I can just about take losing when the players leave it all out there.
-
Have i got me blue glasses back on for the first time in yonks? or have i just had the right amount of pints?
-
how slow and cumbersome does Siggy look, not at the races at all
£45M for a traffic cone... Well done Swansea
-
We will continue to be dominated, and lose 2-1, and Koeman will be safe because we battled.
I don't want this to be true, but since we are in The Darkest Timeline...
-
The first shot leading up to their goal took a deflection off Sigurdsson. I don't think Pickford can be blamed for that really.
He can. Top keepers have the technique to react incredibly quickly to save shots and parry the ball away from danger. It's all in the wrists.
-
28% possession and 16 shots (many of which were clear cut chances) at home against a struggling team.
And it has actually been an improvement, which says everything.
-

That's the minimum we should expect. It's good the players are finally putting that forward.

I agree with you on the players.
Good decision to take Williams off for Davies, just like I suggested when both Williams and Gana got their bookings.
-
More attempts on goal in 1 half than any team all season.
And there's people still defending Koeman.
You think we’ve got a good team out there then? I’m not blindly supporting Koeman, I just don’t think our team is very good. 4 players way past their best and 3 kids, 2 of which look way out of their depth. Apart from a Big Sam ‘back to basics’ approach (God no!), not sure who could come in and make this misfit group, better.
-
Schmeichel doing the half time analysis here. He said Pickford wasn't to blame. That's good enough for me. The deflection was pretty wicked when analysed.
-
Mad game this. Like watching summat from the 70s.
Nah, its in colour.
-
Gone to a back four.
Had to change something.
Pickford
Kenny Keane Jagielka Baines
Vlasic Gana Davies Sigurdsson
DCL Rooney
-
We were at least putting in the effort. Strange seeing us conceding lots of chances, largely getting outplayed, lucky to be level and its been a big improvement.
Given the chasing, bookings, we'll tire, so need a good start to 2nd half.
-
28% possession and 16 shots (many of which were clear cut chances) at home against a struggling team.
And it has actually been an improvement, which says everything.
Us at home v. Arsenal is equivalent to Huddersfield at United.
-
He can. Top keepers have the technique to react incredibly quickly to save shots and parry the ball away from danger. It's all in the wrists.
Quite.
-
Davies on Williams off master stroke or bellend move?
-
I agree with you on the players.
Good decision to take Williams off for Davies, just like I suggested when both Williams and Gana got their bookings.
Congrats. You think like Ronald Koeman.
-
Vlasic looks half decent, Pickford has done alright
Rest of the team is shit
Evens for an Arsenal win = Free money.
-
Pickford to finally get off the mark today?
-
Davies for Williams and a change of formation... can Koeman get it right now?
-
The ref is giving them every 50/50
-
Hang on do I have to be supporting Koeman by saying I think I see a lot of positives out there today? Yes Arsenal have carved us open but it's the first time this season I have seen passion, commitment and a willingness to try things. I can just about take losing when the players leave it all out there.
I know what you mean but Arsenal have had something like 16 shots. You do wonder if the improvement in attack is down to being so open at the other end. Least weve had a little excitement going forward, shown some agression and had 2 or 3 good individual performances BUT we also look completely out of our depth as a contest.
-
The change to Davies is at least acknowledging basic reality. With what we have on the bench, it was the only move available.
-
Nah, its in colour.
And no Gerald Sinstadt.
-
Great forward pressing there.
This ref is a cunt.
-
Nah, its in colour.
"For those watching on a black and white television, Everton are the team playing in blue".
-
Congrats. You think like Ronald Koeman.
No need for the insults Doc.
-

Koeman's spent over £220m assembling these players, so it's on him whichever way you slice it.
-
The ref is giving them every 50/50
And 40/60 as well
-
The ref seems like he thinks he's been levelling it up, since he didn't show Williams the red.
Bizarre refereeing since
-
Ref inconsistency is annoying.
-
Gut feeling from the off this ref is gonna hand it to them.
-
Koeman's spent over £220m assembling these players, so it's on him whichever way you slice it.
While there’s some he getting paid millions as our Director of Football and not providing the manager with the basic requirements of the squad, I’ll blame him instead.
-
again, to be fair, Rooney seems to be making a clear effort to defer to Sigurdsson's #10 role today. It's a good start.
-
The ref seems like he thinks he's been levelling it up, since he didn't show Williams the red.
Bizarre refereeing since
It doesn't help that Arseonal over react to tackles, and the players surround the ref at any opportunity, whereas we dont make a meal of things so much. Even that terrible foul on Baines only had a couple of shouts.
Not saying we are doing things wrong, just need to play them at their game a little better.
-
Still think we will win this. Obviously just building myself up for extra disappointment
-
Good to see a bit of fight for a change. Niasse on last 15 to plunder the winner.
-
oh just fuck everything with a rusty dildo
-
fuck
-
Yikes, what a fucking goal.
-
Balls.
-
Defo all the refs fault.
-
Brilliant goal that.
-
Game over now
-
Pickford should have done better there. Was having a good game too till then.
Is still having a good game
-
And there we have it.
And Koeman will be safe as houses, because we battled and scored.
-
Goggly eyed twat
-
Kenny not tall enough, then Pickford not tall enough (in succession)
-
fucks sake.
-
you know you’re shit when Özil scores a header against you.
-
Fucks sake
-
Just the way its going for us. Chance at one end then 2-1 down.
Think its just deemednto fail under koeman sadly.
-
Later RoeKoe
-
Too easy. Kenny stood off sanch ez and keane was static.
-
Jags looking at Keane there
-
Free £500 - thanks Ronald you mug
-
Giroud will come on and we will end up losing 4-1
-
Ozil with a header aswell, haha
-
you know you’re shit when Özil scores a header against you.
a worldy header, no less
-
What now? Concede another ane we probably collapse.
Not sure how we score here though.
-
Can see Arsenal getting 4 or 5 here now. Fuck off Koeman.
-
Not over yet. Lots of time for the ref to fuck us royally.
-
So wide open in the box there. He could’ve taken three touches.
-
So open.
No confidence, no leaders.
-
Giroud will come on and we will end up losing 4-1
I figured he would make it 2 or 3-nil, but the random goal threw the calculus off
-
Where is our defence?
-
Can't see him being here tomorrow morning if it stays like this,
We've been totally outplayed AT HOME by a team that we had hopes of catching before the season started!
Such a shame, i had hopes for Koeman after last season but how can he stay after this
-
Set piece our best bet
-
a worldy header, no less
It really wasn’t mate.
-
Ozil's eyes were offside
-
Where is our defence?
somewhere in Argentina, getting pissed?
-
Defence looks a lot weaker and gutless without Williams imo
-
Where is our defence?
We have a defence. ?
-
Is it right Arsenal have 1 away win this season. Smashed something like 20 shots against us in 50 minutes. Its been vastly more exciting than anything weve watched this season but still completely shite all be it in a different way
-
Gueye cant do his job after being booked.
-
Set piece our best bet
As long as our set-piece specialist, Sigurdsson is nowhere near it.
-
Keane in back 4 just looks like trouble
-
Bet the players can't wait for him to get fired, so that they can get back to normal and show their actual ability again.
-
We have a defence. ?
Well, a keeper.
-
We have a defence. ?
Nope
-
Keane in back 4 just looks like trouble
He’s shit
-
we are not even close to getting the basics right, like defending a cross against the biggest shithouse sissy on the pitch
-
DCL down now. Would God like to come down from His clouds and take a wee in my coffee whilst He's at it?
-
As long as our set-piece specialist, Sigurdsson is nowhere near it.
His deliveries have been decent last few games
-
We had so much fun with the "Everton B" meme last season...well, now we are "Sunderland B."
-
Getting thrashed again, when will it stop?
-
Rooney head has dropped, loose passes
-
DCL down now. Would God like to come down from His clouds and take a wee in my coffee whilst He's at it?
Would be the most amazing coffee though.
-
Yes Koeman is shite but this squad though. It's nowhere near top 6 level.
-
Getting thrashed again, when will it stop?
Have you watched many Everton v Arsenal games?
-
Niasse to come on and win it.
If not we lose 3-1 and I get max points in the prediction league. Win win for me at least.
-
Awful game.
We're a shite long ball team.
-
Bet the players can't wait for him to get fired, so that they can get back to normal and show their actual ability again.
I think they'll be in for a long wait, unfortunately.
-
Watching this in bed and the GF just said 'trying harder but still messy' before nipping off to brew me a tea leaving me with thoughts of shades of last night or possible job with NBC Sports?
-
His deliveries have been decent last few games
I expect better then decent for 45m...
-
Yes Koeman is shite but this squad though. It's nowhere near top 6 level.
Nowwwww you get it!
-
Thank god only DCL's nose, thought it might have been a stud to eye
-
We are crap
-
We actually look quite hopeless.
-
I'm just curious to see if we get another shot on target.
-
Someone cut Davies's hair he looks like Anne of Green Gables
-
Yes Koeman is shite but this squad though. It's nowhere near top 6 level.
Yeah, we are the whole package.
Odd recruitment and tactically retarded.
-
We need to change this try and freshen it up.
-
Same problem. We don’t look like we know how to score or create a goal.
-
Time for Niasse...
-
I think they'll be in for a long wait, unfortunately.
Nah we'll only be out of the bottom 3 on goal difference
They will have to act
-
For how shite we were under the previous idiot we were nowhere the bottom three and it wasn't just solely down to Lukaku. This clown will keep us down there.
-
if it stays 1-2, I bet Koeman hangs on.
-
Same problem. We don’t look like we know how to score or create a goal.
I think it's much worse. We don't look like we know how to play as a team in any area of the pitch.
-
He's shit
You're shit
-
For how shite we were under the previous idiot we were nowhere the bottom three and it wasn't just solely down to Lukaku. This clown will keep us down there.
Very true. Barkley also had a hand in it.
-
45mil on siggurdson tonplay him left wing. Fucking madness
-
Common you gotta get the Sig out, he has been poor the whole game.
-
Two years since Arsenal have come from a goal behind to win an away match.
-
Nah we'll only be out of the bottom 3 on goal difference
They will have to act
I’d be amazed.
-
Sigurdsson is dogshit
-
Bye bye Ron.
-
Poor from Gana that
-
Niasse warming up, if he saves Koeman again...
-
Gana's off, and we won't have him for Foxes. Christ on a bike.
-
Game over
-
And that's that. Done for the match now.
-
I wonder if Moshiri thinks this performance and other performances have been acceptable recently.
Oh and now Gueye fucking sent off. Just not our day at all is it?
-
Red for Gueye.
-
Game over.
-
It never rains...
-
Oh god, how can it get any worse
-
Yeah, we are the whole package.
Odd recruitment and tactically retarded.
I’m not a Koeman apologist - but our fans act like he’s got a world class team and he’s holding them back.
Watched Soton vs West Brom last night - half the Soton line-up would get into our team. And a few from West Brom!
-
Guaranteed that
-
Someone cut Davies's hair he looks like Anne of Green Gables
i was thinking one of the plantaginates
-
There was nothing inevitable about that, no sir nobody saw that coming, completely out the blue that. What a shock
-
45mil on siggurdson tonplay him left wing. Fucking madness
Fixed.
-
A number of cards this ref has handed out to us and not to them are beyond belief.
-
We are a mess. By any measurement.
-
Gueye's sending-off will give Koeman another excuse.
In reality, Koeman playing him on his own in the first-half made him really vulnerable to this.
-
But yeah, Koeman is off.
-
Always play better with 10 men. Ref doing us a favour there.
-
I’m not a Koeman apologist - but our fans act like he’s got a world class team and he’s holding them back.
Watched Soton vs West Brom last night - half the Soton line-up would get into our team. And a few from West Brom!
Whose responsibility is recruitment though?
This season was torpedoed before it started.
-
Normally, when teams go down to 10 men against us, they rally and even score. Watch us go even deeper into ourselves.
-
I’m not a Koeman apologist - but our fans act like he’s got a world class team and he’s holding them back.
Watched Soton vs West Brom last night - half the Soton line-up would get into our team. And a few from West Brom!
Why didn't he try and sign them then?
-
It's definitely a hodge-podge group of players that if poorly led (or even in a mediocre fashion) could find itself in a relegation scrap. Lukaku and Barkley saved Martinez from that indignity here.
-
Why didn't he try and sign them then?
He's not allowed to sign Soton players...
-
I'm not a Koeman apologist - but our fans act like he's got a world class team and he's holding them back.

Out of interest, can you name them?
Our players aren't bad players, it's a poor system that's been badly implemented
-
Keane and Calvert-Lewin both did really well there.
-
If there isn't an announcement straight after the game that we have parted company then what's the point in Moshiri even being there.
-
Why didn't he try and sign them then?
Ask Steve Walsh
-
He's not allowed to sign Soton players...
Really?
-
It's definitely a hodge-podge group of players that if poorly led (or even in a mediocre fashion) could find itself in a relegation scrap. Lukaku and Barkley saved Martinez from that indignity here.
We are a nothing team....not even in the top 10 best teams in the league. Koemans done a disastrous job....i don't really see how it could be worse all things considered ?
-
Should happen within one hour of the final whistle. No reason to draw this shit out.
-
Cue Giroud to come on and make it four.
-
Another 2 or 3 and he's got to go
-
A number of cards this ref has handed out to us and not to them are beyond belief.
'A couple of dangerous crosses, from Baines and then Vlasic on the opposite flank, go unrewarded, perhaps because Everton’s only striker is currently shaking off a kick to the face.'
-
So much for playing better with 10...
-
Can’t watch anymore of this.
-
Open mouthed here
-
Super
-
Bollocks
-
Haha the back four line there
-
WTF was Keane doing? Dropped about 15 ft back and played every one on side
-
Bottom 3
-
Lookman and Niasse... that reeks of desperation
-
Rooney and DCL off for Lookman and Niasse. Because who gives a fuck.
-
He absolutey must be axed tonight.
I'm beginning to seriously shit myself now.
-
It's definitely a hodge-podge group of players that if poorly led (or even in a mediocre fashion) could find itself in a relegation scrap. Lukaku and Barkley saved Martinez from that indignity here.
Uber for Koeman.
-
Shit thought we would have at least had the token yellow for Arsenal by now, but no the ref going for the signed shirt now.
-
If there isn't an announcement straight after the game that we have parted company then what's the point in Moshiri even being there.
You mean the owner can't watch his team against the former team he partly owned?
-
The defence is just an embarrassment.
That is meant to be Koeman’s strength.
We should at least be hard to beat.
-
No idea how Xhaka hasn't been booked yet
-
Really?
No not really. Although there was something about him not going back for Saints players when he first joined us.
-
Can Niasse save Koeman's job?
Nah! But the irony if he did lolol
-
Still not avin Keane. He isnt shit just....
I don't know
-
Lookman and Niasse... that reeks of desperation
Yeah well we are desperate
-
Can Niasse save Koeman's job?
Nah! But the irony if he did lolol
Niasse hatrick to win it.
-
Niasse offside on the free kick. Of course.
-
Red is really ridiculous today. No consistency. Considering we’re the home team it’s even more amazing.
-
Niasse offside from a free-kick.
We're so shite it's depressing.
-
WTF was that ball from Vlasic about? We can go on about the poor defence there, but honestly, that came about because we couldn't hold onto the ball for more than 5 seconds, even in space.
-
WTF was Keane doing? Dropped about 15 ft back and played every one on side
I think it's more like Jags stepped up to chase the ball and abandoned him there.
There's no way we should be trying to step up when the opposition has time on the ball and several runners
-
Still not avin Keane. He isnt shit just....
I don't know
He's a secondary CB. His performance depends on his partner. Should have gotten maguire
-
Arsene not throwing on Giroud because he feels sorry for us?
-
Still not avin Keane. He isnt shit just....
I don't know
Gotta be honest I think he's looked shit. Yet to have a good game for me and always out of position/slow to react. Not even a threat in the opponents box.
-
To think Arsenal fans want Wenger out and last year Koeman was muted as a possible replacement.
Oh be careful what you wish for Gooners.
-
Ah well, power about drained & can't be arsed to plug in the laptop. He best be gone be time I find the urge.......
-
Sanchez telling them where to put the ball at every freekick is making me fucking mad.
-
Everyone stepped by except Keane.....
-
Davies, shot on target WOO!!!!
-
Out of interest, can you name them?
Our players aren't bad players, it's a poor system that's been badly implemented
Cedric, Bertrand, VVD, Gabbiadini would all walk into our team. Arguably Tasic and Romeu. And as we have no strikers you can add Austin and Long.
Not saying we should be in for all of them, we should be aiming higher - just saying they are better than what we have.
-
I know he's young but Kenny has been poor today.
-

They'd all get in our team.
-
Weird how casual Baines was there
-
Claridge on the BBC, "Do you worry about Everton going down? I haven't seen three worse teams.
I don't understand what Everton are trying to do? There are a lot of good players but no structure, no system to speak of. It is not enough to just get men behind the ball."
Sums it up.
-
This is pitiful.
-
Are we back in the 'slag all 11 players off individually' phase again?
Boring and misguided, that phase. Watch the difference if/ when we get a decent manager
-

Been saying it for weeks.
-
Are my eyes deceiving me. Is he playing lookman as a number 10 aswell?!
-
Kenny is ok but nowhere near first team starter. Roll on Colemans return. 1 more Arsenal goal were in the relegation zone. Sorry Ronald you have to go.
-
Didn't even need Giroud.
-
Koeman needs to go asap. We need someone who rally the players together. They are clearly good players. Just got no confidence and koeman is not the man.
-
This is absolutely, 100% a failure of leadership.
-
Can somebody put a proper old fashioned reducer on Sánchez please, the games gone somebody just show the twat what it’s like to actually be tackled properly
-
Are we back in the 'slag all 11 players off individually' phase again?

The players don't know how to play with each other, it's like a bunch of lads just turning up at a park. Claridge is spot on.
-
You mean the owner can't watch his team against the former team he partly owned?
Grow up. Everyone knows the predicament we're in. Take a look at the league table and tell me if our owner thinks that should be acceptable.
-
Easiest away game Arsenal will have all season.
-
just a thought, thinking of the prediction league, will 1 4 count the same has 0 3
-
Can somebody put a proper old fashioned reducer on Sánchez please, the games gone somebody just show the twat what it’s like to actually be tackled properly
They'd try but still miss him.
-
I have no earthly idea how it's only 3. They're dry humping us.
-
Offside trap working well today
-
You are like a broken record now
Now? More like a month ago
-
Fucking christ! This is shambolic defending :Horse:
-
Grow up. Everyone knows the predicament we're in. Take a look at the league table and tell me if our owner thinks that should be acceptable.
Yeah but what's the point of the owner watching is? Ludicrous
-
Anyone still want him to stay and see what happens?
-
He will send us down.
-
What a cunt of a challenge
-
Was in the give him time camp but he 100% has to leave.
He cant get this team going at all
-
They'd try but still miss him.
But he will get twice as fake hurt.
-
the longer he stays, the more we risk a Fat Sam coming in
-
Was in the give him time camp but he 100% has to leave.
He cant get this team going at all
Same. I've switched from Christmas, to this evening.
-
Koeman cannot stop the decline, he will just make it worse. I'm frightened that the board will not act competently regarding this situation.
-
Koeman needs to go asap. We need someone who rally the players together. They are clearly good players. Just got no confidence and koeman is not the man.
DCL, Niasse, Kenny, Williams, Baines, Jags, Rooney - sorry, that’s 7 that are either past it or not good enough. Where are these good players?
-
Same. I've switched from Christmas, to this evening.
Me too.
-
Not really sure how he can explain his way out of this one post match
We've been totally outplayed from start to finish
I want that guy from Watford but i doubt he'd come so soon after joining them
-
This is bad......

Koeman cannot stop the decline, he will just make it worse. I'm frightened that the board will not act competently regarding this situation.
Whether I thinks it’s his fault or not - I agree he can’t stop it and so needs to go - just not sure who else can sort this mess out. Big Sam until the summer to save us?
-
There's #4, making us clear 18th
-
Niasse is at least a laugh
-
Oohhhh... Must be the nail. Fucking embarrassing....
-
He'll be gone, am 99% sure
-
Magic
-
The terrifying thing is that we will not score goals until we can get some people on board in January. We need someone to come in and hit the ground running. If we don't get that we're in big big trouble.
-
Into the bottom 3.
Koeman has to be gone tonight.
-
Not really sure how he can explain his way out of this one post match
We've been totally outplayed from start to finish
I want that guy from Watford but i doubt he'd come so soon after joining them
Watford usually change manager about now regardless of how well they are doing
-
He'll be gone, am 99% sure
We need to get the banners out if he isn't.
-
Fuck you Ramsey. You should have scored first and Arsenal should only have scored 3. Thanks for ruining my day.
-
Saddest thing, Pickford our MotM despite letting in 4.
-
He's going tonight or in the morning
If not our board are completely incompitent
-
Fuuuuuuck sake.
-
That compiles it.
Bottom 3
Fuck.off Koeman.
-
Any minor positives from the first half have been completely obliterated by this half.
-
Arsenal have not won away this season
-
If be amazed if Koeman is still with us in 24 hrs time
-
Which celeb will die this week now that Rambo has scored?
-
He has to go
-
And if he doesn't get the sack he should have the decency to walk away.
-
God we are dire.
-
Arsenal have not won away this season
...it'll kickstart their season. Where have I heard that before?
-
Haha Fuck me is Koeman complaining there’s to many minutes added on?
-
Can't see him surviving this.
-
Theres my PL score. We can all at least be happy with that...
-
Watford usually change manager about now regardless of how well they are doing
He looks good, nearly kept Hull up against all odds last season
I'm originally from there and some of my Hull City supporting friends were gutted when he left, thought he was class
-
I still just don't get how he didn't bring Gana off. Gana was always going to get a second yellow
-
Nah he'll be in charge for Chelsea.
Got to make sure the season is truly dead and buried before he goes.
-
Niasse trolling Koeman
-
Cedric, Bertrand, VVD, Gabbiadini would all walk into our team. Arguably Tasic and Romeu. And as we have no strikers you can add Austin and Long.
Not saying we should be in for all of them, we should be aiming higher - just saying they are better than what we have.
Coleman is better than Cedric.
VVD is obvious as he's much better than both them and us, he's champions league standard.
Bertrand yes, but even as recently as last season I would have said Baines over Bertrand.
Gabbiadini/Austin/Long are better than DCL, but not as good as the standard we should have signed this summer.
I make that 2, max 3 players. I'm not meaning to sound like I'm having a go but we need to be clear that this is a poorly set up, poorly managed team, the players aren't terrible.
-
Niasse gets a garbage collector goal
-
Arsenal have not won away this season
Embarrassing.
-
Niasse drags us out the relegation zone!
-
Hahahahaha! Cech feeling totally sorry for us.
-
Come back on 😉
-
Love how despite all the shit, Niasse still playing
-
Out of the bottom 3 via a gift.
-
Niasse out of the relegation zone
-
Haha at least our goal scoring wonder has done his job
-
The only saving grace of this day for me is I put money on Arsenal to win......and then when we went up 1-0 I doubled down on the bet.
We are easy to bet against.
-
Arsenal have not won away this season
They have now
-
Fuck he'll keep his job now..
-
Yeah Koeman has to go really. It's getting silly
-
Niasse is our second top scorer despite being on the pitch for about 120 mins.
-
Niasse should've headed it in
-
Well thats even fucked up my PL score.
Now I'm REALLY depressed.
-
Comeback off
-
Nah he'll be in charge for Chelsea.
Got to make sure the season is truly dead and buried before he goes.
Can we ask if we can bring our FA Cup 3rd round game forward, to see if he can squeeze a cheeky lower league defeat in, before he goes?
-
Nail. Coffin.
-
Pull the trigger Mosh.
-
Back to 18th, and I get 1 sad point (in addition to the result points everyone will get) in Prediction League
-
Yeah Koeman has to go really. It's getting silly
He 'll be gone now
-
Out of the bottom 3 via a gift.
Think we are still in the bottom 3, says so on Sky live league table
Oh well that makes certain then
-
Well that was short lived.
Back into bottom 3.
Can’t even give us that sliver of light.
-
And back in we go
-
The fuck is moshiri smirking about there
-
Stand up, walk down to the touchline and sack him on the spot.
-
KOEMAN OUT!
-
Gone.
-
Guaranteed the Shite will win at Spurs now
-
You couldnt make it up. Someone up there really doesnt like Everton Football Club. Night night lids. Fuck off Koeman.
-
Moshiri actually looked like he enjoyed Sanchez 5th
-
Love how despite all the shit, Niasse still playing
No matter what anyone says, his never give up attitude is something that none of our other players have
-
Moshiri looks like he’s really feeling it doesn’t he
-
The final whistle was the death knell for Koeman
Embarrassing
-
5 goals at home!
Get the fuck out of our club Koeman!
-
this is fucking pathetic. Sack him tonight. Clueless
-
What the fuck are they clapping for?
-
Moshiri actually looked like he enjoyed Sanchez 5th
He said oh no!
-
Should've gone over a month ago. Weird that people are only saying 'Koeman out' now. It was so glaringly obvious that he'd lost the plot earlier in the season.
-
The fuck is moshiri smirking about there
Probably let off a guff
-
Tara
-
Moshiri actually looked like he enjoyed Sanchez 5th
It’s an “expected” loss isn’t it
-
We'll win next game, getting my bet on now
-
The fuck is moshiri smirking about there
I don't know but it honestly made me laugh. He's probably laughing at the joke that is our season.
-
Robbie Earle verdict? KOEMAN OUT
-
If he’s not gone then you have to question the board’s sanity not to mention ambition.
You can’t spend what we did and be happy with this.
-
If he's not sacked immediately then Moshiri is a cunt
-
No matter what anyone says, his never give up attitude is something that none of our other players have
I really like the Niasse!
And so did the guy at Watford which says everything to me, they're 6th :o
-
Christ. Turn it off and find its 5-2.
Seruously fuck right off Koeman.
Conceding goals like no ones business.
No chance we are beating anyone at this rate.
-
NBC studio crew is unanimous. KOEMAN OUT.
-
As I've said two weeks on the trot, if he doesn't go tonight..Moshiri has no ambition. I don't think Moshiri has any ambition at all, or Bill is making him cry so Koeman keeps his job so that we save some pennies.
-
It's a shame the owners act like fans instead of owners. They won't sack him
-
Moshiri probably wanted to do his old mates a favour before sacking him
-
Should've gone over a month ago. Weird that people are only saying 'Koeman out' now. It was so glaringly obvious that he'd lost the plot earlier in the season.
Gotta agree with this.
-
what happened there? Fan on the pitch?
-
You couldnt make it up. Someone up there really doesnt like Everton Football Club. Night night lids. Fuck off Koeman.
Nah it's not luck or God. We make poor decisions, we have for decades and we suffer the consequences.
-
If Koeman is still at the club by tomorrow evening then that tells me we don't have the right board to take the club forward.
-
Voting with my feet until he's gone.
Absolutley disgraceful what he's done to this team with the money he's had.
-
Smirking at that point was such an offkey thing to do 😁
He's a bit eccentric, is Moshiri.
-
We didn't have a shot in the second half. That tells it all.
-
Surely he’s got to go tonight? I’ve never known such disparity between expectation and actual. Get gone.
-
The only saving grace of this day for me is I put money on Arsenal to win......and then when we went up 1-0 I doubled down on the bet.
We are easy to bet against.
Well done you.
Always think it's a bit cuntish when someone gloats about winning a bet against us, even more so when we've just been pumped 5-2 and are in the relegation places.
Anyway, enjoy your winnings.
-
We didn't have a shot in the second half. That tells it all.
Yes we did. We even scored
-
Have you watched many Everton v Arsenal games?
Don’t get you ?
-
Have we conceded the most goals now? Must be up there.
Was stupid to even remotely consider winning this.
-
No excuses for Ronald now. 5-2 at home is not acceptable. This is Everton football club. Bottom 3 minus 11 goal difference probably out of Europe. Whatever can be saved from the season now has to begin with Koemans P.45
-
Has to go now,
He's had more than enough chances this season
Shame but see you later lad, good luck with your next job as long as its not a game against us
-
Strangely confident of a good result in this game.
Arsenal are hardly setting the world on fire and have their own issues to contend with.
Despite the gloom surrounding us at the moment if we can muster an ounce of belief it's not beyond us.
Normally don't quote my own posts but the utter stupidity I write sometimes astounds me.
Good call, dickhead.
-
He's got to go today. ...first half was better but still shite
Getting sick of paying out to watch that
-
More worrying is we spent £60M on 2 new additions to our back line and look even worse defensively than I can ever remember.
-
Fuckinel. Get Big Sam in.
-
We didn't have a shot in the second half. That tells it all.
Nah, you forgot Davies' dribbler from like 40 yards out.
-
Well even a new manager will take a lot of time to get over this mental block we have now.
-
Arsenal wont have an easier game.
-
I think Mosh was just bemused, as if it couldn't get much worse, oh wait.
He's not investing hundreds of millions for this shit. No blame for Mosh for me, he appoints people and he's backed them, that's all you can expect.
-
Don’t get you ?
The game was 2-1 when you posted, it ended like it has many, many times before with us and Arsenal.
If you'd waited a few goals I would have agreed. ;)
-
Fuckinel. Get Big Sam in.
No no no
Watford guy or Tuchel for me
Would like Ancelotti but as if lolol
-
Well done you.
Always think it's a bit cuntish when someone gloats about winning a bet against us, even more so when we've just been pumped 5-2 and are in the relegation places.
Anyway, enjoy your winnings.
I wanted us to win. Don't get me wrong. I bet on what I think will happen and not what I want to happen my friend.
-
This club is alot lot closer to doing an Aston Villa than ever competing for the top 4 again.
-
I think pickford had the more touches than the rest our team
-
Third home defeat in a row.
We're spiralling and the board has to act.
-
I’d probably be happy to see Manager and Director of football replaced. Total failure across the board.
Started with the summer. Recruitment was just woeful.
-
Well done you.

It’s not really. We’re the worst team in the league, Arsenal are quite good so evens is a steal. People might not like it but it’s true
I put 5 ton in Lyon the other night & the same on Arsenal today
I’m up £1300 just because we’re shit.
Might aswell profit off it
-
Yeah yeah yeah congratulations on being right on Koeman people. Made up for you.
-
well here we go
I feel for Koeman I honestly do .He plays the players the fans are shouting about .We get played off the park by a really good side for twenty minutes ,get a lucky goal and then get picked apart .We go down to ten men against the side ripping us apart anyway .What did you all expect ,they have been better than us forever and with ten men !! Oh fuck it sack the manager.
-
Yes we did. We even scored
You're right. Forgot about that one - they hadn't updated the final stats. We had 3 shots in the game and 3 in the first half - stupid NBCSN for making me look dumb.
-
Is he gone yet?
-
yep, there we are. 18th. Palace have conceded 1 more goal, Stoke 2. On goal differential, we should be 19th.
-
Beaten 5-2 and our keeper made multiple big saves.
At least the door is easier to kick open now, there's that. I guess.
-
Have a good night Mrs Giroud.
-
The game was 2-1 when you posted, it ended like it has many, many times before with us and Arsenal.
If you'd waited a few goals I would have agreed. ;)
Oh ok I see what you were saying now. The scoreline at that point was deceiving - we were getting battered
-
Wow
-
Well done you.
Always think it's a bit cuntish when
someone gloats about winning a bet against us, even more so when we've just been pumped 5-2 and are in the
relegation places.

This. I am not a gambling man and even if I was, I would never bet against my own team. Straight out of the Bruce Grobbelaar book of bungs.
-
As a gambler, you never bet FOR your own side. It's a massive jinx.
-
Oh ok I see what you were saying now. The scoreline at that point was deceiving - we were getting battered
Absolutely we were. But we had all seen much worse score wise...then the whole conversation goes a bit weird as normal service is resumed. lol.
-
Well done you.

Not sure that's fair, understand frustration, but I'd have bet on us losing.
Gambling is not about what you want, its what you expect. And clearly a silver lining
-
If he’s not gone then you have to question the board’s sanity not to mention ambition.
You can’t spend what we did and be happy with this.
If I was Moshiri and I'd sanctioned a football manager to spend over £200m in 18 months and found that the team has no shape, no cohesion, no confidence, a huge inferiority complex and finds itself in the relegation zone, I would feel I had no other option than to sack the manager.
I wouldn't give a fuck that I would have to write off about £15m in compensation to that manager because we've been terrible for a good while and there is nothing to suggest the slide down will reverse under the current regime. £15m or more would be worth the price if it means we can kickstart our season again and at least guarantee our spot in the top league for next season.
-
Not betting against your own team is stoopid
-
It’s not really. We’re the worst team in the league, Arsenal are quite good so evens is a steal. People might not like it but it’s true

Nah, being smug and bragging about it is cuntish.
-
He's got to go after that.
-
Absolutely we were. But we had all seen much worse score wise...then the whole conversation goes a bit weird as normal service is resumed. lol.
I actually agree at that point Pickford had saved us a hiding.
-
Nah, being smug and bragging about it is cuntish.
I didn’t think he was bragging?
-
I took it as gallows humour, not being smug. AE isn't like that.
But our nerves are all raw, we are all gonna take things the wrong way right now.
-
I didn’t think he was bragging?
Definitely wasn't. Just highlighting the silver lining for me personally.
-
Pathetic
-
Definitely wasn't. Just highlighting the silver lining for me personally.
Same for me mate, evens was buying money, those useless clowns on the pitch & Koeman earn fortunes for being shit, why can’t we profit a little too?
-
Pathetic
Shocking stats that, at home as well
-
Yeah yeah yeah congratulations on being right on Koeman people. Made up for you.
I don't think anyone on here wanted him to fail.
It's just a fair few of us could see from the performances and odd recruitment early on that this was only going one way.
-
The players must take far more responsibility for the situation.
Yes, the summer recruitment from RK/SW appears to have been absent of a plan, but in fairness to RK he hasn't been afraid to change things up in recent weeks. Different players, shapes, tactics. Almost a worrying amount of change which shows he is either/both desperate and so confused mentally, that he is struggling to think rationally.
There is absolutely no leadership from the players on or off the pitch. No one is holding people accountable, no one (Niasse and arguably Pickford + Vlasic aside) is taking responsibility on the pitch.
The above is likely endemic of the fact that RK has lost the dressing room, and probably did so 3/4 weeks ago, but the mentality of the players is a fucking joke right now and many of them have enough experience to know that the onus should be on them.
-
Keep it together lads, seen enough bickering on here lately, don't need anymore
-
Keep it together lads, this thread is starting to look like the way we played on the pitch, messy.
Fist bump for you all before I go.

NBC covering Koeman next
-
weirdly detached interview
-
weirdly detached interview
He’s not arsed
-
2 decisions gifted to him on a plate and he choses to rectify only 1 of them,,everyone could clearly see either williams or gueye was gonna get sent off but he only deals with one of them...he doesnt do himself any favours does he :titanic:
-
He's not arsed sitting on a big contract that is paid out when he's sacked.
-
weirdly detached interview
Hate the way he puts everything down to 'that's football ...really gets on my tits.
-
Just doesn’t seem bothered does he.
-
I don't think anyone on here wanted him to fail.
It's just a fair few of us could see from the performances and odd recruitment early on that this was only going one way.
Never seen it coming at all, did concern me we never bought a striker, I'll admit to that. But everyone must see it now, there's no way on God's earth he's turning this around...He has to go and go now, it's damage limitation time.
-
Everton defender Michael Keane told Sky Sports: "I think so [we are drained of confidence]. Normally everyone would want to get on the ball and show what they can do. Maybe you're not seeing that now. It was a difficult day."
On manager Ronald Koeman being under pressure: "It's down to us, the manager can only do so much. We have 100% belief in him. We feel like we've let him down. We're working really hard to sort it out."

-
Impressive that still hasn't taken any responsibility for any failings.
All of it is out of his control apparently
-
Finally home and reflecting ....Half decent first half ,absolute awful second half compounded by koemans poor tactics and subs yet again ..Sig was less than useless today Rooney have the ball away yet to much yet DCL gets dragged off before either of them .

Is it me or was he admitting that the players aren't playing for him?
-
Ive had no tinternet for 2 weeks because of moving...why wasnt holgate in the squad? i thought he'd been one of our better players lately
-
Thanks for that Michael you useless pile of shit
No he isn't he is 1 of the players that have suffered because of the manager, he was doing ok, they will have to be re-assesed now under someone else, short term hopefully from within the club that already know the squad, so the wheat can be sorted from something or other, can't remember.
-
Arsenal buddy just told me "If it makes you feel any better, I joined the home supporters in their rousing cries of 'You're getting sacked in the morning.'"
You know what, it did.
-
Ive had no tinternet for 2 weeks because of moving...why wasnt holgate in the squad? i thought he'd been one of our better players lately
He made a bad boo-boo on Thursday, so Koeman randomly singled him out for punishment.
-
At least Spurs are helping us spare a bit of flack from the red shite!
Id take Klopp.
(Humour)

You're right. Forgot about that one - they hadn't updated the final stats. We had 3 shots in the game and 3 in the first half - stupid NBCSN for making me look dumb.
Don't blame NBC mate
-
Is it me or was he admitting that the players aren't playing for him?
I dont really think they can play for him,a stuctured tearing down of the side was needed with players brought in on a like to like basis.Im afraid a scatter gun approach to transfer policies as left him short in areas and a glut in others.I simply hoped he could turn things around,but only fresh ideas with no ties to the current squad will save us now....in short he has to go.
-

Funny thing is, if Arsene Wenger was under any kind of pressure regarding his job, that pressure will have completely evaporated after today's game and performance - leaving the Piers Morgan Wenger Out brigade fuming in a way.
-
Yeah yeah yeah congratulations on being right on Koeman people. Made up for you.
Cold comfort.
Let's hope Moshiri can swallow his pride and make the right decision. - Give the job to Unsy and see what he can do until Christmas. He needs to bring the success and confidence that he has inspired in the youngsters to the first team. (We live in hope!).
-

Levey and Maradona look comfortable with each other.

Why single him out ? You think the entire team are shit ?

Ahh well thats made the loss and shit performance easier ...hate Piers Morgan the cuntish cunt.
Think we all joined in on the your getting sacked in the morning stuff. ..highlight of the second half. 😅
-
So he keeps holgate out on the lads birthday and throws kenny in against arsenal,, koemans a proper cunt aint he is he blatantly taking the piss or what
-
Why single him out ? You think the entire team are shit ?
No, they’re playing shit but we have some good players, Keane isn’t one of them - he’s a waste of £30m
-
Holgate made a discrete, easily identifiable mistake...but overall Keane and especially Martina were still worse. Holgate should have at least made the bench so we had a CB option available.

5-2! Fuckin pantomime. He's gone! - Oh no he hasn't!!...etc.
The Shite managed by Widow Twanky for an encore x
-
Is he gone yet? Surely shouldn't take this long
-
Fuck it I'm going to lay into Baines. He's been utter wank right at the moment we need and have needed him. He went missing when the Martinez project unfolded and he's done it again this time. As one of the senior players and an Evertonian, the club needed him (and Jags for that matter) to stand up and pull the team through difficult periods. He's at the back of queue hiding again because he knows most fans think he's a sound bloke. Did he have the same injury excuse under Martinez? Does injury excuse him totally losing his man in defensive plays? (2 laughable occasions today and against Brighton). And why do you see him shit out of headers and tackles. He isn't vocal on the pitch, and he doesn't speak to refs. Absolute pussy. Never mind he's still on a wage and he knows he's going to play anyway so it doesn't matter eh

TBH Iv not been a fan of him for a while and thought we should have cashed when moyes went to Utd
Yes he's not been brilliant. But him and holgate are the victim of playing with 5 centre mids. Nobody in front of them they're litterally doing two jobs it doesn't work.
So many times I seen vlasic or sig win it in the middle and look out wide near the final third and there was just nobody there

can't wait for the day when Martin Tyler retires

Spot on. Same with Jags. Our senior players for the past 3 seasons have been shambolic.
-
can't wait for the day when Martin Tyler retires
is right wrong thread
-
id rather Williams play than jags. Purely because he's assed and has abit of fight. Jags has never been a leader
-
Just read on skysports that Pickford only got a 5 today, I know that he had 5 put past him but he made several saves that kept the scoreline to single digits
-
Williams is starting to turn things around and he is committed which is not easy to show in such a dire situation. Williams has bought himself some more time with me.
-
Fuck it I'm going to lay into Baines. He's been utter wank right at the moment we need and have needed him. He went missing when the Martinez project unfolded and he's done it again this time. As one of the senior players and an Evertonian, the club needed him (and Jags for that matter) to stand up and pull the team through difficult periods. He's at the back of queue hiding again because he knows most fans think he's a sound bloke. Did he have the same injury excuse under Martinez? Does injury excuse him totally losing his man in defensive plays? (2 laughable occasions today and against Brighton). And why do you see him shit out of headers and tackles. He isn't vocal on the pitch, and he doesn't speak to refs. Absolute pussy. Never mind he's still on a wage and he knows he's going to play anyway so it doesn't matter eh
Ive been saying the same for 12mths mate should have been replaced long since.
-
Should never of changed formation
He didn't give himself the option by not having another CB on the bench, and it was clear that Williams was odds on to either get sent-off or give away chances due to being reticent to risk a challenge.

He is a pro. He can play without getting another yellow.

That's criminal. He's the only player of ours I'd rate above a 5, easily a 7 for me.

I don't know, just because he lost his cool the other night and should've been sent-off it hasn't suddenly made him a good player.

Didn't look that way in midweek.

I wasn't referring to that. He's looked more assured in his last three games and his demeanor in general is more positive.
-
Gana is also a seasoned pro. Still got another yellow. When you are a defensive-minded player under pressure, it can't always be avoided.
Especially after Thursday, Williams was going to be under heavy scrutiny. Fair or not, it is what it is.
-
Thing is, Holgate's highest and best use is RCB in a 3 at the back, and Koeman refuses to use him there. Even as a reserve today, when he preferred to scapegoat him at the expense of the useless Martina.
-
On a lighter note the Shite lost by a 3 goal margin too :)
-

He has played better than he was, I agree.
However, he really does need replacing (when we hopefully get a new manager in)

He's been exposed like the rest of the defence. At least he's not thrown the towel in like some of his longer serving colleagues.

His passion has impressed me, however, since showing it, he was lucky not to be sent-off in midweek and he was walking the same tightrope today.
-
Vlasic looked good when he has the chance to run at people but his defensive work is extremely poor. I like the lad but I'd say that he could have personally stopped at least four goals we've given away when he has been on the pitch

Blue in the boozer just summed up how a lot of us feel right night
"I hate Everton more than I hate Liverpool right now "
It's just so fucking disappointing. Another false dawn. No one expected us to finish top 4 this season but we all hoped to see some sort of inprovement, a decent replacement for lukaku and an injection of pace. I'd love for the people who made the decisions on who we signed (and didn't sign) to come and explain their thinking because frankly it's utterly baffling. If any of us had suggested we just wouldn't bother signing a forward at the beginning of the window everyone would have laughed. We could go down. I'll be very surprised if 3 teams have produced worse league performances than us this season. On performances we should have maybe 2 points
-

If we'd have gone down to nine men, mate, we would've conceded more, plus Koeman would've had the excuse of being two players down to use as a bargaining chip.

He's finished. I said it at the time and got slaughtered for it. We should have took the brave decision to sell him to Utd and had a lot of money to replace him then commit to paying him even more money through his decline

I think that's the thing. You've 2 choices be a good parody or be honest. Everyone knows. What's the point of him continuing as is.
Also his position is all a bit pointless now. Everything is a bit shit is pretty standard on here now. He needs to start again with a slightly daft positive outlook. Which in fairness to him he's attempting now.

I don't think it was a lot of money they wanted him and Fellani for not much. But I think that Garbutt might be worth a look again.

Just made dinner. Lime and garlic roast chicken with stuffed peppers topped with 18 months aged cheddar and garlic bread. 1 1/2 hours to prepare and cook, 45 minutes eating, with Lord of the rings the Two Towers on the Tele to distract me, and then started to remember the game and the hammering we took. I can't be doing with the Koeman induced downers on a pleasant Sunday evening. Fuck me Ron; I thought you were the man for the job. shakeyheadman

Andy Grey's passion to see us succeed and get out of this is clearly evident there saying the collective "we" when talking about the club.
John Collins can get to fuck though. Disrespectful twat. Laughing all the way through smug prick.

Im sure in that the panel agree on its koeman whos signed the players and walsh just provided names and then 5 minutes later trevor says the problem is these players havent been bought by koeman?? and as for john collins he can just fuck off the twat

yep i got the same, no one even queried trevor. lol ;/
-
John Collins just seemed to be a bit confused. I think the others were talking about competing in individual games and he seemed to think they were suggesting we should beat everyone
I think our biggest problem is obviously our inept recruitment. The people in the club know who made what decisions. We simply can't go into the next window with the people who fucked this 1 up making the decisions
-
Always disliked John Collins, dour and smug are a deadly combination 😁

Oh my.
You are either 10 or a fucking idiot if you didn't get the sarcasm .

Good watch that. Some good points. Shows we’re not alone in dissecting the current shite.
-
The contrast between Andy Gray and John Collins is like night and day.
The thing is Andy Gray gets Everton and he was part of the most successful side in the club's history, he has his finger on the pulse.
John Collins on the other hand played for Everton at a time when finishing below 13th in the league was normal, I'm not sure if he knows what NSNO stands for.

He must have that finger in deep to feel our pulse right now.
-

The main thing i've got from watching a few of these from Bein Sports is that Andry Gray actually cares for Everton, Richard Keys seems some what partial to us aswell, while when they where on SKY, they seem to both hate us.
-

That is just too carnal.

Don't you mean "queasier"?
Or have you not been watching Everton the past couple of months?

I thought I was losing my mind. Glad someone else noticed.
I guess it's a testament to how confusing our backroom setup is. It doesn't seem like anybody knows who does what.

I think we are all in the same boat. I've no idea myself what the set up is, and I don't think anyone else outside of the management of the club has either. It's the first time our club has worked with a director of football. It follows for that reason that It's of greater concern on this occasion, exactly, because of this different setup. At least when a manager did all the planning and player recruitment requests to the board, it narrowed down the field who was responsible for what.

Still, given the results, you can understand the appeal for people at the club of a set up with no clear accountability.

It doesn't help us as supporters though. I've supported Everton since I was 6. That's 54 years. It would break my heart to see a load of guys in suits ruin something that's been a part of my life for so long. It's early days in the fear stakes. It needs addressing as soon as is possible though. This is why sacking Koeman or letting him carry on is so crucial.

Sounds like he's closer to the club's current ethos than we are then.
