JC do wily old scousers like you now say ‘offensive minded players’? The world is at an end
Posted 03/11/2026 at 03:39:00
that would be me
Posted 03/11/2026 at 03:38:00
I doubt that he will be. We need a proper centre forward because we certainly have not got one right now

I hate these late night games – unfortunately another one coming up on Friday, making that 3 in a row – but always pleasant to wake up to a win. From the reports, Newcastle were really bad, but Everton played really well. Rohl and Armstrong are quickly establishing themselves as Moyes’ faves. Johnson gets 18 minutes but Hackney gets only 6/7 minutes? That is a head scratcher. Hope we can keep the core lads fit – we can trouble a few teams.

Philip, I think Richy will be all fired up if he gets the opportunity to play for us again. He will definitely take the pressure off Barry, and who knows, we may get a wiser, calmer forward who knows where the goal is.

Happy with the win of course but also with the overall performance. KDH, Armstrong and Garner ran the MF show but it was a great team effort all-round IMO.

You must be the only one looking for maitland niles in the side. He is terrible mate.A £4m right back for a reason.
Posted 03/11/2026 at 01:35:00
I’ll take the other side of that, Richy could do some damage with our current squad. If he can stay on his feet that is.

I thought rohl gave us an effectivr out ball. Ped on toffeetv calls him a puppy. I think that explains him to a tee.Won some brilliant ball, kept hall and Barnes quiet, and carried the ball effectively, creating some chances.I know the calls for dibling were strong, but away from home, moyes got it right.Hope to see rohl right back friday, and Dibling right wing. But I would rotate rohl and obrien away from home. Jake was solid.

Not for me , not the player he was 5 years ago..Why not go for tony cottee he played for us before too.Why do we do this I thought that after blue bill passed this sort of stupid sentimentality wound end , but no we still yearn for old flames..
Posted 03/11/2026 at 01:03:00
I wouldn`t swap him for any centre half playing in the Prem Christy.Outstanding tonight.
Posted 03/11/2026 at 00:53:00
Not a great game but a great performance. Kdh and rohl ran all nightCredit where Credit is due dour davie (too many d’s there ! ) got it right but I would have preferred Hackney to Armstrong. I cannot recall a team playing a Monday and Friday b4 in the prem. ?Got to beat Coventry now…

There was only one change from the team that Moyes would normally select and that was George instead of grealish. What made the real difference against Newcastle tonight was the team played as Moyes wanted, they held their places on the pitch and moved the ball well. They pressed when required and moved forward as a unit when in possession. My only gripe with the starting eleven would be George’s failure to defend, he trots back with no purpose and doesn’t press which has been a constant when he has played. I’m Sure he would get more game time if he did defend with more intent. Then there is Johnson coming on for Barry, he really needs to pull his finger out. One other thing I noticed but that’s on here,,, where are the Moyes knockers ? Could they not show some humility and admit when the team play as Moyes wants they are entertaining and positive… COYB
Posted 03/11/2026 at 00:39:00
Apparently we are being linked to Richarlson coming back in January. Would solve striker problems i think.
Posted 03/11/2026 at 00:08:00
If He does I get some greenshield stamps of one of our Pauls
Posted 03/11/2026 at 00:02:00
You can only beat what they put infront of you and we did – Twice, so I’ll take that.Grealish may have done us…and Moyes…a favour in narrowing the options for Team selection over think.For us at least – I cant speak for Arsenal – there’s no such thing as an easy win in this League and definitely no such thing as an easy away win. So fairplay.You’re only as good as your NEXT game, not your last game because that’s history now, so it’s Lampards Coventry up next then another stupid International Break ffs.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 23:51:00
Thought Everton played reasonably well. Controlled game in large parts, created chances, played some decent football and dug in and showed character when needed.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 23:26:00
The 2nd leading scorer in the league?
Posted 02/11/2026 at 23:07:00
Yes KDH looked very good. Not sure bout the Brace comparison.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 23:05:00
Dominant display. Rohl and Dewsbury-Hall brilliant all night. A real will to win!
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:59:00
VAR should tell ref it’s a straight red. Someone should have sorted Lewis Hall out when dragging Armstrong up. Great team performance. Couldn’t fault anyone tonight.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:43:00
John stats showed Jarrad won 10/12 heading duels, unreal, just stay fit 🤞
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:42:00
Credit where due Si.I thought Moyes managed the game almost perfectly.Didnt sit in after we scored,went for the second.Allowed them to get forward in numbers.You (https://numbers.You) very rarely see 6 Everton pjayers in the opposition box in open play,we saw it tonight.5 players in their box in open play a few times.He allowed offensive minded players to play offensively and express themselves.All credit to him for that
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:39:00
Thought every player contributed to a really important win. Delighted with and for the manager (I dont get to say that often). There were some refereeing decisions which had I thought were really poor. Loved hearing Geordie maggots booing their team off.Special mention for KDH….Shades of Brace ?I`ll sleep well tonight
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:33:00
Misses some big chances Barry but you have to be in position to miss them.I reckon around 15 league goals for him this season if he stays fit.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:32:00
Agree Andy, I was more than a bit worried beforehand, we were very good tonight
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:31:00
Thank fuck for that.You too
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:30:00
Had a great game Ian but KDH for me.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:28:00
Great result, good team performance from start to finish but I still feel it could have been significantly more comfortable for the final quarter of the game with the emptying of the bench for the last 15-20 minutes of the game. They had their best control of the game after Steur and Wissa came on, and although Tyrique and Merlin kept going I thought they were running on vapours well before the end of the game / the time they were subbed.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:28:00
Should of been a pen.That was a red card on Armstrong, 100%.Good team performance. A couple of anxious moments, but controlled their chances to a minimum.Rohl played well, and for me was worthy of his start. Motm
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:24:00
Oh very nice . I’ll leave you to it John! Enjoy the win !
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:21:00
It was a penalty for sure, but we got a freekick that led to our goal from what looked a bit theatrical from Barry.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:21:00
Phew – it was getting close. It was 9 games without a win away from home. Can we play every time!
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:20:00
Well done blues. Newcastle were awful.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:20:00
Marshalled the defense brilliantly Tarkowski and Branthwaite.The foundation for tonights win.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:19:00
Such a solid performace. Until later on we dominated possession, territory and chances. And played out the last 20 minutes or so pretty much in control.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:18:00
16 shots, 5 on target. Away win, clean sheet.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:18:00
Shithouse tackle Christy.Hes going to be some player mate
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:17:00
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned David.Pack it in your making a cunt of yourself
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:15:00
Let’s beat Coventry on Friday night NOW.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:12:00
That was a leg breaker on Armstrong, shocking. Good team performance KDH superb and Garner and Armstrong not far behind, if Armstrong could add goals to his game.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:08:00
Another step away from relegation John you’ll be glad to hear……I think !! KDH is immense. Harrison justified his selection, with a non stop performance.Whole back four looked as solid as I’ve seen this season.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:07:00
Great performance, great win, couldnt really say one player was poor or even average. Just a great team performance. 2 in 5 days against them.Nothing finer, i thought they were better at HD but tonight looked one very poor side.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:07:00
Excellent result.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:03:00
KDH outstanding
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:01:00
Great performance come on you blues
Posted 02/11/2026 at 22:00:00
There you go David.The reward for allowing offensive minded players to play offensively.Perfect away performance.Throw them shackles in the Collingwood dock.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 21:59:00
Great to see Barry score again.
Posted 02/11/2026 at 21:59:00
Job done. . played 💙
