There’s something wrong at the Club alright. The Owners want out and even before that decision was known we apparently had a transfer committee that spent all day vetoing each others choices.The ‘Chairman’s side of the Committee’ seemed to pursue wish list players the Coach didn’t rate – and consequently wouldn’t play.Selling Ndaiye seems a pure balance sheet jobMoyes always said he had the final say though.To this day nobody will actually admit to paying £40 Mill for Dibling, or selling Beto then trying and failing thank god to sign another £40 mill. Injured forward who’s only just started playing.Nobody will admit to Twice paying City £250,000? a week to take one of their problems of their hands.Moyeses addiction to favourites, Sq pegs, KITAP1 & his top 4 record seem only minor problems now that post Grealish-Gate, he’s (finally) stumbled on a winning formula Vs our fellow mid table teams.Oh and we have rumours of a 2yr extension too.As always – more questions than answers

Anthony Barry linked with the Palace job.

Agree Dale, its not often we want Manure to win.

Everton have also found a new villain, Fuck you Roma!

Mark in all fairness, no matter how well Barry is doing, we definitely can’t rely on ONE STRIKER, i know we still need a right back, but we have cover there, even if not a natural fullback, but another striker is our no.1 priority.

Pete, in his first spell Moyes is said to have had fantastic players like Yakubu, Cahill, Arteta, Baines, etc yet we still fell short against the Sky teams and never averaged many goals per season. I have rarely been entertained by his teams, though that can be said for many of our managers’ teams before and since.Moyes is a defence focussed manager, no matter what players he has available. And clearly prefers older players when he has a choice in the matter. These are the reasons I haven’t wanted him as manager since about 2006.

Barry, is scoring goals, but his all round game is still miles away from what is required, imo. The one thing that doesn’t surprise me is that when a young player keeps getting picked because he has got no competition in his position, the chances are that if he his prepared to put the work in, then he has got a great chance of really improving. Keep up the good work Thierno.👏👏

Seriously Mark? Even If Barry was a mixture of Henry & Bergkamp, I think that it is very foolish to even contemplate going through the whole season, with only one centre forward, in our squad, especially in a league as physically demanding as the EPL, mate

With players like Rohl, George, Hackney & Dibling, it’s been more exciting to watch. At least the small squad has forced Moyes to give minutes to these lads. UTFT!

Hard to teach the instincts he has to be in the right place at the right time and get on the end of stuff.He can improve on his touch & his finishing, composure comes with experience too .He also looks so much stronger than last year, could be hard to play against if he keeps getting stronger.He’s missed more big chances than alot of strikers that people would want, but they are not sniffing out them chances to miss them, haaland is next on the misses list, which says something.

The fight in them started when Tarks done two Newcastle players on his own imo.You could see how it galvanised the troops last night.

Exactly, Dale. Let’s hold off on the victory parade for now! lol

I said Barry months ago Barry will be in the top 3 strikers in.2 seasons .Well it might be before that relentless worker going up against 2 men every game and still having golden moments.Everton fc problem is by january Barry will have between 15 and 20 goals if he stays fit so how can anyone take his place they can’t.If cash is available go and finally find a top RIGHT BACK and get our defence spot on i believe this should be priority.

-2 for both of you, HA! How dare you not genuflect to the Ginger genius. It was Newcastle, so let’s not get carried away. Yes, it was good, and perhaps low on expended effort. That is a valuable thing this season. Do Coventry and we will talk about getting Dave a big mitre or something extravagant.

I learned if Tierno scores on Friday he is a one in two striker.

Squawka’s analysis of last night’s game address some of my feelings about things: “By no means was this an aesthetically pleasing game, with both sides having their in-possession struggles. But Everton navigated them much better than Newcastle, feeling a lot more comfortable with the ball.” I’m not sure about Everton being comfortable on the ball though, that’s the last thing they look like to me. It’s all panic and chaos and creating havoc, somehow preventing goals against with last-ditch blocks, while hoping to benefit from largely random fine-margin stuff up front. Yes, they are putting in the effort. But that is just a given for me. You’re a multi-millionaire footballer… the least that can be expected is that you put the effort in. A bit of magic now and again… that’s what I really want to see.

Hahahah. Tarkowski led the show at the back…..His defiance in the face of wave after wave of Newcastle attacks reminded me of just how good Jarrad is. Cant wait to see what Tarks is like when he comes up against teams that do attack, Like Hull. Arseeanl….Chelsea. He`ll soon learn that lot

Keep putting in away performances like that and we’ll be a danger to anyone away.Horses for courses, got to give moyes some credit for setting them up spot on.That won’t work every game, or for every opposition, so let’s see if he can be flexible and put players in & out to suit the opponents.KDH is our key, invariably if he plays well the team does.

Can i volunteer to pull the firing mechanism?

Surely canonisation for the sainted Davie is not far off?

Your comments on Barry are so true; “the best/worst player” sums him up. But, if he keeps putting them in the onion bag??To his credit he is a much better player than last season. Let’s hope he keeps progressing; we might even get our money back 😀

I was surprised and delighted with Rohl’s performance on the right, and O’Brien solid behind him, probably our strongest back four. Armstrong’s workrate is unbelievable, and beside Garner gave KDH time to run the show, and having Hackney to come on, another bonus.

Thierno is #2 in the Prem in x/G to Haaland. But he is #1 in big chances missed. He’s great at finding good positions to receive the ball. But then it gets sketchy.

I thought Tarks showed what a captain is last night Ian.He is well respected in the game i reckon,players know what they are dealing with.Did you notice Joelinton go over to him early in the game with a big smile on his face?Clear message of ” i dont fancy a repeat from the cup game” off Joelinton.

Excellent defensive shape, Newcastle created little. The physical battle was won, with the blues dominating duels all over the pitch.Tarkowski led the show at the back. Branthwaite winning anything coming his way.Dewesbury hall able to operate in the space, as his team mates were able to turnover the ball with ease. Rohl was a difference maker. Snuffed out there left side threat, and was a willing runner to provide a reliable out ball. Dibling obviously way more technical, but he just wouldn’t have provided that physicality.A couple of strains at the end, the only negatives.

Everton showed what they can achieve if the players do what the manager asks of them. Players retaining their positioning on the pitch which gave each one the space to play. What was seen at St James park was an Everton solid in defence and capable of fluent attacking, accepted they lacked those final ball in the net moments but that,sadly ,is down to only having one centre forward who more often than not fails to convert the chances given to him. This was a game that showed what a Moyes side is capable of. Each player playing for the team,competing and winning.My only disquiet would be George who, when the team was defending, failed to get involved in pressing and challenging. He always seems to be standing and watching. It would probably be the reason Moyes doesn’t always start him. Moyes wants players who perform at both ends of the pitch I would add, dibling, sat on the bench, needs to watch George and how he sticks to the wing and attacks the bye line.the Moyes way

The big lad up front scores on Friday night he is officially a one in two centre forward.Go get em T

Playing a gentle game Mark.I did it to a non match going red mate years ago.He robbed a genuine fan by getting himself a ticket for a final,phoned me showing off to say he was at Wembley.I told him he was telling fibs,soft fucker sent me a photo of himself outside the ground,i said i still dont believe you.He sent a photo of his ticket😃

JC Mark S is right – all PL away tickets are capped at £30.

Great to get a win on the road.Thought we were lucky with our goal, crap goalkeeping, but well done Barrie.What an example KDH provides for the team, fantastic tempo by him, and midfield playing confident joined up stuff.Always a bit worried when it seems one way traffic towards our goal, surely a better team would have punished us?! We do have an ability to successfully ‘dog it out’ defensively, with blocks and last ditched tackles – shows plenty of commitment, Myka improving over the last 3 games.These young lads will only get better, but Armstrong must improve his shooting – seem to remember him getting inside the pen area 4 times in last 12? games last season, and blasting it high, wide and ugly.Same tempo ag Coventry please!!

Thought everyone put a shift in, but what a difference Branthwaite makes to this team. Always got a chance when he’s playing.

Playing Friday night Dave.

All away tickets are 30 john for premier league

well, this has all gone rather swimmingly. If we can beat Coventry we will bounce into yet another winter break before the ten games in six days before Christmas.I was thinking about how KDH is such a key player for us, but with our squad, EVERYONE is a key player. Who out of our current first eleven would we NOT be loathe to lose? I think if any of them got injured it would prompt the ‘and what the hell are we going to do now’. just better hope they all stay fit.

Dewsbury-Hall is a winner. No two ways about it. Let’s hope it spreads around the squad. Including the manager! A win is a win. It was a good win.

Well, it seems strange hearing Everton being described as a “young” side. Not exactly a frequent adjective used for Moyes teams – but that’s what injury and suspension do, I suppose. Anyway, it bodes well for the future, I suppose!

Dewsbury-Hall is worth his weight in gold, he runs his whatsits off every game, we’ll suffer big time if he gets injured.Any away win is a good win, and I thought we played well without being great. Barry keeps putting the ball in the net mostgames so he’ll do for me, I must admit I thought we would struggle last night.Our much criticised manager is doing the business, I bet West Ham wished they had stuck by him.I wonder what is going on with Grealish, it’s sounding a little complicated.

Röhl outsprinted Barnes at least twice which is impressive. He’s nailing that right side nicely.

A loan til the end of the season makes sense, nothing more than that.

Google disagrees with you getting a ticket for 30 Mark

Harrison is well on his way just needs that 1st goal and he will be away should of took a touch last night the smashed it in confidence is just lacking

30

Newcastle were truly awful, especially in the first half. Something looks terribly wrong there, like a budget Man U. That said, you can only beat what is in front of you and for me KDH ran the game, top performance. Barry continues to look like Bambi on ice but what he is doing consistently is getting in the right places and that in itself is a skill and one hard to teach.Technically poor though he otherwise is, that should see him score regularly. I thought the back 4 looked solid. Agree with others, VAR should have given that pen, first he clipped Barry’s ankle then made another contact just before he reached the ball. All right in front of goal.

Everton are joint 5th with 25 big chances created for the season. 4 big chances were created last night, with only 1 taken, and for me a penalty that should have been given.The game again showed good quality chances are being created, but their execution squandered.Given the lack of quality at full back, lack of depth at centre forward, the lack of top end quality at right wing, its interesting that weve created twice the amount of big chances as liverpool despite their investment in several players over £100m, or that a team like chelsea that have spent a couple of billion, can only match what moyes is producing. Not that the media will tell you thatSo what is he producing? A team that can create chances, is able to limit the opposition to few chances. A side that lacks genuine star dust to put things away, but a team that is probably can out punch its weight.Feels like we might have been here before, and begs the question of what could happen if Bill or Dan had properly backed it.

While your here Mark. How much did you pay for your ticket last night. No googling

John stand on the chair and put your hands up as high as you can ha ha.

If you read all of my post Mark S you will see i posted we would be in trouble “if Moyes persisted with his current style of football”.I think last night proved my point.

I concur with what others say in that KDH had an outstanding game. In fact it was the best I’ve seen from a blue shirt in a long time.

Agree with Dave A, probably the best team performance this season (albeit against possibly the poorest opposition we’ve faced).

The Elephant in the room. Is there nobody who can shed light on the situation with Jack Grealish ? Are we terminating his loan contract due to the discipline breach ?
