If it was munich i always got lads in free tents normally alongside the 18th mad days john.

Plato, John, may be Spartacus as well.

Ian, Michael wrote it as a statement of fact. It isn’t, it is a groundless opinion, which surprises me as he is usually a lot smarter than that.

He would have us believe that a Premier league club spends their focus entirely defending without a shred of substance to back it up, other than George now tracks back a bit better – whoopty doo.

To be honest, I expect better of him than that. If that is fact, which it isn’t, would you not expect to hear from players or coaches, past or present, that would complain about those methods? there is only one thing scousers love more than footy, and that is footy gossip.

To answer your question. It would appear I have seen far more training sessions than either you or Michael. I can support that by having seen them at Finch Farm, Goodison, and Bramley Moore from invitations, but also what the club put on social media, and what current players, ex players, ex coaches, current coaches, and Moyes have said or written on his training methods.

I worked on the sites in Germany in the 90s.

My mate was a golf nut,i wasn`t bothered but went with him on a day off.

Bumped into a scouse caddy who heard us talking and ended up bladdered after he took us in a free booze tent .

Its a long shot but…….

He’s a very good player and can score goals . He has tough opposition but an injury or loss of form for someone, and I think Hall is a shoe in for England.

About 20 times john

Mark,

Were you a caddy on the European tour?

This could be an example of a small world if you are.

Did you work the German Open?

It’s all down to one man’s opinion-Tuchel’s. He has his picks and most of us would pick 6 or 7 of the same shoe-ins

all the time but the rest could be a different matter. JamesTarkowski has been tremendous this season but Tuchel

goes for Burn and Hill (who?) as replacements. KDH has been brilliant but Tuchel makes excuses about his picks.

Quite honestly I don’t think a foreign national should be allowed as an England manager and the same goes for cricket

after all none of the players are foreign. The quality of English players in the Prem. and elsewhere has never been better

so Tuchel should have no excuse about not being successful with what he has or anyone else for that matter.

Bottom line though I would rather the Everton players not risk injury. The Prem. is the only thing that really matters.

And tidal waves couldn’t save the world from En-shitt-ifi-cation

Mark I don’t think you’re on the wind up but in what capacity did you/ do you work with these stars?

That may put some people’s minds at rest?

what’s with the popups time to leave the site i think

I can get this shite on dodgy streaming sites Toffeeweb’s soul has gone

John someone told you on TW and you never picked up on it and he’s the only one to work it out

I think he might know someone iwho knows me but maybe he was clever and worked it out logically i dont know but its no wind up i have probaly worked alongside the biggest star in the last 25 years thats not me saying its him who believes he was .

Put them out if their misery Mark, tell them who the top sports stars are.

Im going for Alf Tupper

John im not winding anyone mate.

There winding themselves up 1 in paticular john .

Mark.

Your deffo on the wind up.

Your getting responses so it’s working 😬

Steve lots of good words.

You see Barry is a big man i think 6 foot 4 and clearly more developed in the top half he probaly takes about 13 in boots im just guessing so he will never be twinkle toes in the box .

But what you said running staight on he looks like scoring all the time just Romelu he has said he watches lots of videos of Harland and Romelu he’s addicted to being the Best which is a great thing to have.

Im going to annoy a certain few on TW but i have worked with very big sports stars and when they where coming up the ranks they all had these traits .

Barry will continue to try to be the best he is addicted to it i can see it so im going to back him .

It’s tough to beat those teams over two legs though Mark

Mark,

Agree mate.

if you go into a game thinking you cant win,you wont win.

I didn’t do this, but I’ve been made aware of a wonderful song about Thierno Barry: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1435622428546684/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e&fs=e

We could’ve beaten both of them last time we played them. In City’s case should’ve.

Not a shock in my opinion no. We’d be underdogs yes, but not a shock.

Do you sit in on the training sessions then Ian? Because you seem to suggest your answer to everything is correct and everyone else’s view is wrong.

Maybe other people have the same insight as you, or maybe they just view it differently. But your view most definitely isn’t correct 100% of the time, no one’s is.

Are you Moyes in disguise? Moyes has never in his career set up teams to attack. We might have been more adventurous in our last 3 games and I sincerely hope it stays that way. But I very much doubt it will. I think what you mean when you mention players not doing what is asked of them, is they are being asked to defend. It’s what Moyes does, he has always set up defensively

Will it be a’shock’ if we beat them Mark?

More pop ups than a match day streaming sites now 🙄

The Barry pyjamas mate😀

Remind me? This new format doesn’t link this reply to whatever it was I disappointed you with?

City and Liverpool have both lost to lesser teams recently. We can beat either with the right approach.

Let’s beat Fleetwood first then see what happens. There have been much bigger shocks in the cups than us beating them.

Fair play to Moyes for sticking with Barry (not that he had much choice!) – but he has given him the right mix of criticism and tough love, and Barry seems to have responded. I shudder to think what might have happened to Barry’s development of someone like Ronald Koeman had been the manager. ‘Return your locker keys, son’.

His output and contribution is massively improved this season – 10 goals and 3 assists.

Positives:

His movement and runs this season are much better.

He is getting himself into goal scoring opportunities consistently.

He is a good finisher when he runs onto the goal.

His link up play is improving and he is contributing assists.

He looks physically stronger and fitter.

His confidence is getting higher.

Improvement areas:

He is not a natural finisher – 13 big chances missed.

He cannot sort his feet out quickly in the box.

He is not an instinctive finisher.

But right now, he is the most important player in the squad. If he gets injured, we are screwed.

Mr. Steers does this all the time Philip. He has been in ‘sports’ for thirty years; he knows ‘a top sportsman’. Somehow, if true (because, as you say, he has been asked 10?, 12?, 14?, 16? times to give us names and his actual role ‘in sports’ – but he never does), this gives MS more authority to comment than mere mortals like the two of us.

This, together with his Moyesturbation, makes it pretty easy to ignore him, I suppose. And remember that Mr. Steers constantly calls the opinions of others ‘rubbish’, because, I imagine, these lesser toffeewebbers have not done time in ‘sports’ and don’t know ‘a top sportsman’.

It’s a weirdly strange mix of opinion on here.

One says our current position means we won’t get relegated . Hmm, maybe I’m too bucket half empty when I think, even if it’s improbable, it’s not exactly impossible.

The someone says we cannot win the League Cup (or whatever it is called now) because we have to get through the RS and City. I suppose that’s logical but this bucket half empty fan would like to have hope and worse teams than us have beaten both of them. It’s possible.

Then mention of a tough run of games against sides likely finishing above us. Top sides then, a mismatch, knife to a gunfight job. Then I see Brentford and Brighton in that list. Well sure, they have been playing very well but seriously, and no disrespect, are we content to think small clubs like that will invariably finish above us. My bucket is filling up.

Finally the optimistic talk that TFG might fund a serious January window to push for Europe and my bucket empties again. Not happening, guys…

as i’ve seen previously here on tw when asked who exactly these ‘top sportsman’ are this spoofer goes quiet

end of chat

be careful phil – the eternal ultra optimists can be quite hostile to anyone who casts any doubts on their beliefs like rabid maga supporters.their opinions are all that matter. !

No, Michael, that’s YOU, hoping that we’re in trouble come next May. Why the actual fuck would any so-called Everton fan look at where we are now and go “oh we might be relegated”? Get a fucking grip of yourself.

Moyes teams played some great stuff in his first stint too. I think it peaked in the 07/08 season, but 08/09 was also good.

You never answered my question Ian.

Again.

Grealish-gate is the best thing that ever happened to Moyeses selection process and the current position shows it.

But a quick look at the table shows only 7pts between 6th & 17th.

Lose 2 games and if the results go against you you’re down amongst the dead men in the blink of an eye.

If United get a bit of New Manager Bounce they’ll be up with us just as quick…or we could pass them going the other way.

10 games is too early to call things now – we were sitting in 8th(?) at game 31 – then came those last 7.

I think the dynamic of the team has changed dramatically since George has played on the left wing. His first instinct is to run at the defender. In addition Harrison, Rhol, Dibling, and Hackney are starting to get starts or decent minutes on the pitch,

If he keeps playing these younger players they will become a force to be reckoned with. The stats will change dramatically then.

Playing the team way, actually makes it sound like we have got our own discernible style Pete.

Has Alkaraz, started 40 games for Everton, Brian, or are they substitute appearances as well. I’m sure I’ve seen him score goals for Everton, with his left foot, his right foot and with his head, but I might be wrong. If I’m not then the list you have provided isn’t quite right Brian!

michael k .this dixie60 pop up thingy is getting on my threepenny bits…

The same fixtures last year yielded 3 more points than this. We are 14th in terms of comparison with last year. I don’t think we are doing that well.

yes

Paul

Seems to be based on the number of "likes" and reples

You can only beat what’s in front of you, most would have had us down to get 0 points from Arsenal, think we let ourselves down against Chelsea with the setup.

The up and coming period will be a test, four out of the next five games are Brentford, RS, Villa and Brighton. All likely to finish above us. Let’s see how we fair against them.

Also, injuries and suspensions have yet to kick into a small squad.

If we can stay in the mix until the end of the year then it’s all eyes on TFG and seeing if they do spend in Jan to kick us on.

The reply box has a character count? Don’t recall that in the old system.

Ian Everton have been inactive in the market for at least 4 seasons so bringing in 6 players and finally getting rid of the rubbish i think is good buisness.

Also are luck might be changing if Balogun had signed then maybe Barry might not be doing so well .

I hope january will be good so we can move on again lets hope

good chance of being in the semi finals thats it….

but you have’nt answered my direct questions so i will repeat

please name these ‘top sportsmen and women ‘ you know ?

and how well do you know them ? OMG i’m not scared of city or the rs but i know someone who is !

Because it didn’t go far enough Mark. The side needed a complete overhaul, not just a new carpet and front door.
