  • The predicted line up is unfortunately probably spot on. However George should play in place of McNeil. This right hand side is crying out for attacking aggression get their left back sucked in and booked early. Pace is always key and George fits the bill. Dangerous, not to be discounted. There that's my 'Templegate(esque)' opinion. ...
    Brian Foley in Everton vs Liverpool: Preview, Predicted Lineup and Where to Watch
  • Who slipped under the radar? Surely that would be the silent Friedkin’s, Michael, when they did something they have done a couple of times before and walked away from a deal, only to return at the death to secure another deal. Mike, talk is cheap unless it can be backed up by actions imo mate, but these people purchased Everton, nearly eighteen months ago and still haven’t been to a game. The Friedkin’s come across as just pure businesspeople, which is fine if they back us the way we need to be backed financially, but when I read about them talking about them building a new stadium in Rome, it just shows me how fortunate they were to purchase Everton, at the price they did. Are these people genuinely aware of the potential that the sleeping giant, called Everton actually possesses? That’s the BILLION DOLLAR (how long before this phrase is changed to trillion?) and that picture of Eric’s, makes me wonder if these stone cold businessmen, will actually STAND AND DELIVE...

  • They - post-Ekitiki - look weak up front. Isak is unfit and Gakpo is a word that rhymes with unfit. Salah's head is somewhere else. The narky little Argie twat in midfield offer a little less than nothing. Our right side needs to put pressure on Kerkez who is an awful defender, but marginally better than Konate. Saint VD has emerged as a fantastic critics of his teammates. Which keeper will it be? It doesn't really matter.The hard boiled egg has become a failing caricature on the touchline. Love the snarling faces in the Main Stand behind him. Remember, they never lose alone, but normally a few on the trot nowadays. They are not the favourites. We are. They have never won at the HDS. We have nothing to fear. This game is made for KDH and Ndiaye. George over McNeil will never happen, but a full half-hour would be nice, especially if we are level.Most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Rob H and Bill H....

  • MG - 43 - that does not make it right. It's more of an explanation than a justification. Perhaps more significantly, communication is one thing that a lot of us expect and criticised Moshiri for. The last time Saint. Angus the Silent said something was at the end of last year to put the dampers on our Window hopes. So, Saint Daniel the Absent has not had an opinion to express to us since then. Perhaps he has been dead busy with Roma, the Celtics, and the Padres and working on an NHL team for Nutbush city Houston. Entirely legitimate to ask where we will sit in his pecking order if he manages to snag one or two or three major US franchises. It would not be positions 1-3. ...

  • Michael and Tony, I believe Friedkin's public silence is more than a matter of business policy -- it's also his near-lifelong personal pattern. When he bought the club, I researched my professional media databases and never found a single interview Friedkin has ever given to an open media outlet. He and his son did talk with the Roma club site shortly after acquiring the club (which backfired with some negative reaction from the ultras), but other than that the only public appearance I found was at the 2018 Toronto Film Festival, because he had directed a movie presented there. He has bid for the NBA's Boston Celtics and the baseball San Diego Padres, and is trying to bring NHL expansion to Houston, and he still hasn't granted an interview to anybody. That's why I predicted we would not hear from him directly. And that has proven out so far. When he has an opinion to express, he'll say it through Kinnear. ...
