Everton Watch

I wish that would be true, but the sad fact is we've never won at Everton in our history and never will.

 

It will happen one day. Will it happen next week? I've no idea. First properly good performance of the season from us on Sunday, but I've been watching this lot far too long to think that means we have turned a corner.

I've also not seen a lot of Watford recently, so don't know how realistically your current position reflects your current form - although I know you were unfortunate on Saturday not to win.

 

Honestly, West Ham were really poor and have been for a few weeks, but that's not to denigrate you as I think you played them at the right time, were the better team and deserved to win.

Same with us and Spurs, we played them at the right time but fate conspired against us (and VAR).

 

They'd won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their previous five league games I think

To be fair though, yes, they were really poor - we could have scored six and it wouldn't have flattered us. We are good against teams who want to play football - that's why we put a good showing in against Man City. West Ham will always let you play. Always.

Sit deep and stay compact and we haven't got a clue

 

Nobody sits deeper amd compacter than Florrie so perhaps we have a chance!

 

Its gotta be a taxi for the Snake now.......

 

VAR decision was dodgy based on what we've been told VAR would intervene on

But, it was a foul

Anyway, beat us on Tuesday night and I think you'll get him the sack. I would imagine that would be something you'll all smile about.

 

Well, our only hope is a 0-0 followed by a win on pens as we sure as hell aren't scoring any goals anytime soon.

 

At least this barsteward and his team are still losing, there is a god

 

We are only 5 points behind them. Crazy as our bad season currently is, just 5 points.

 

Feeds nicely into my ‘you have to be really really really really bad to get relegated from this league’ narrative.

 

Amazingly, as ****** as our season has been so far, we've got more points over the last 6 games than them

 

Unfortunately we are really really bad

 

You've probably bought him another couple of games there. You really do hate us, don't you?

 

I noticed the other day that Everton have by far the lamest matchday song/club anthem going - two of the four lines to its chorus are:
"We dont care what the red side say
What the heck do we care"

...because of course the clearest way to demonstrate that you don't care about the other team is to dedicate an entire half of the chorus of your own club song (and one quarter of the whole thing) to referring to them.

 

The match against Spurs was not very good. Losing one of their better players, (who i hope recovers to be able play again one day), wont help either.

I hope they win their next two games, and then lose the next four. That would help us and probably mean Silva is out by the new year. Then we can all get back to normal.

 

Is it just me or has the Gomes injury been completely overblown? There's probably one or two nasty leg breaks a year in each league. It happens. It wasn't even that gory. Snowflake players crying and praying or whatever seem to have affected how people viewed it. You'd have thought his foot came off the way Son was retching.

Everton have already said he'll make a full recovery. Surgery done.

 

I think he could have played on.
I'd have booked him for diving.

 

Appreciate you have other things on your mind this evening chaps, but you may wish to watch this space...

 

Official statement from the club just posted.

 

Hard to argue with that

Former Everton boss David Moyes is apparently being considered as an interim replacement for current manager Marco Silva.

Silva's future hangs in the balance following his side's 2-0 home defeat by Norwich.

 

See, Watford aren't the only club who think everything can be sorted out by going back in time and appointing a defensive manager who's already had one crack at the job

 

FTFY

 

He left for Man U rather than being sacked for being **** though.

 

I didn't fall into this category. There were plenty who did though. Mate I sit next to Goodison has pledged to not go to a single game that Moyes is in charge of if he returns.

FWIW - this, to me, is a dereliction of duty from Everton. This Silva situation has been coming for weeks (even if there are some genuine mitigating circumstances), if the best plan B we could come up with during that time is David Moyes, someone isn't doing their job properly

 

If I was Everton I would appoint the current Leeds manager, who is going well at the moment. They could easily tap him up. With a style and approach that suit them down to the ground.

 

Re Moyes - Yes. It wasn't his fault as we had no money and we constantly had to sell our best players in an attempt to reinvest, but the fact he was here over a decade and had one 4th place finish and an FA Cup final appearance to show for it wasn't enough for most people. I get that, but personally think that was ignorant of the financial situation at the time. He performed miracles for most of his tenure IMO.

Moyes finished 6th in his final season. We'd had a couple of average seasons before that when the financial situation was at its worst.

Let's be honest though, he's been largely terrible wherever he has gone since he left us. There's nothing on his CV since he left us which suggests we should be considering him.

I'd genuinely rather keep Silva until we identify a proper longer term replacement

 

There's a bloke at Watford you might be able to get
