• You just know who Moyes is going to play, what formation, square pegs in round holes, no tactics, late subs, sit back, hoofball KITAN1(?) swap Beto/Barry for Barry/Beto whoever starts first - for 2026/7 rinse and repeat from 2025/6 🤷 See who proves who wrong 💙...
  Mike Hayes in Stuttgart vs Everton — Match preview and team news
• Is Moyes really going to go into the new season with O'Brien or Rohl on the bench, and Tarkowski as first pick? After the last 7 games of last season, surely Jake -- having been here 2 years waiting patiently -- is entitled to a run of games at centre-back??...

• I'm happy that Robinson wasn't a missed opportunity. He wasn't at that time better than Lucas Digne and nor is he better than him now. Robinson is 29 now. What we should've done is not sold Lucas Digne and then used that money to buy Mykolenko and Patterson. Which is what happened under Benitez. It made sense to move him on and with a clause. Which is what happened. I imagine at that time they probably thought -- in 18 months time, if he's a world beater, we can sign him back and sell Lucas Digne for big money. That never happened because he wasn't a world beater. He was a decent player that has probably only matured in the last 18 months -- 4 years after leaving. ...
  Tommy Carter in Everton's deal to sign Alistair Johnston hits a brick wall
• With the players available, new and old, there\'s no big shift in anything this season. If we got Grealish back and he\'s fit, then that\'s huge, but in terms of being able to do anything different on the pitch, it\'s pretty similar. Nothing has added a new dimension to our attacking options.Nothing has given us the ability to have a different tactical approach or switch games up. No change to the terrible fullback options. No real boost to create more chances to give the strikers more opportunities. We can bring Hackney in up to now, but he will probably be on the bench if Garner is fit. I\'m still hoping for a few ins & outs but it looks like more of the same as last season if we don\'t. ...
  David West in Stuttgart vs Everton — Match preview and team news
• Everyone should stop moaning. The simple fact is, Everton are not in the market to buy top players -- they cost big money.Even under Moshiri, we never went over the £50M mark. TFG have not said we're going to buy very good players, so stop moaning and get on with it.Everton can only move higher in the Premier League if they buy players who score and assist goalscorers. Everton have, Iroegbunam, Dibling, Armstrong and George; none have scored a goal for Everton.Also, last season we had Garner (2 goals) Gana (1 goal), McNeil (1 goal). No team would move higher up the league with them players... ...
  Mark Steers in Arteta: Norgaard kept Arsenal’s standards high — Everton move a “massive opportunity”
• Mike (102), My initial posts started when you said Everton had dumped Robinson out of the club and I pointed out that was definitively not the case with him sent out on loan, then sold to Wigan, at the same time covering themselves with the clause that left them in a position to sign him in the future.Brands went to see him before he signed for Fulham and assured him Everton had kept an eye him since he left the club and he was wanted by the club, so that is far away from dumping him.As for his ability, that is a matter of opinion whether he is good, bad, or indifferent for each of us....
