Been really impressed by Stephen Mfuni for Coventry. The sort of player Everton should be keeping an eye on if he looks to leave Man City. He’ll probably have a stinker tonight now!

Sigh, seriously? Why would we want to sign a player who can hold the ball up, deliver deadly crosses and was brilliant for us until he got injured…

I agree with the central concept of this article (good one, by the way, Patrick) – that Lampard has improved as a manager since successive contract terminations at Everton and Chelsea. But, all credit to him, he did not give up. He stuck to it and has had success in bringing Coventry back into the premier league. If he manages to keep Coventry up, that would be a huge achievement. If that were to happen, surely Lampard has to be considered in the list of candidates as Moyes’ successor.

i understand the need for some players to be rotated but there job is something we would all kill for so best foot forward grelish has gone you do not let lads who spend money and go to rediculous kick off times down as you feel you need a pint as for the proper players they will only get better the more they play together so keep it up boys add a striker we could be a real force i dont think any one has a better midfield than we can put out when they all belive it them selves richarlison on loan no fee totingham either pay him 6 months for nothing say 160 a week x 26 i dont know 4 .16 or get rid and loose the wages as city have done EVERTON IF YOU DO MONITOR SOCIL MEDIA DO NOT GET HAD OFF AGAIN

100% correct Kevin

Dangerous player in Rudoni if you give him space to play,lovely left foot.

They work their socks off .we will have to match their effort,get on the front foot and 3 points should be ours

Yeah, might just be a tadge counterproductive to the overall aim

si try the one by Bank hall station on the corner by what used to be the Round house pub

👍

I`m still none the wiser to the formation that allows George to overlap Grealish Eric?

Thanks for the comment, John.

He’s excited.

My eldest has been a few times with his grandad.

My first was the 2-1 vs shite early 90s.

Looking forward to to it.

Nice one

With a long time left on his contract and an offer(s) on the table there was no footballing reason to sell him right away.

TFG said fuck it and took the £60Mill.

Hackney Vs Armstrong; when given the choice between a ‘somewhat’ attacking player like Hackney and a ‘somewhat’ defensive like Armstrong – 9 times out of 10 which way do you think Moyes will go?

Part of me thinks just get the three points any way possible, then slip away into the international break. Job done, points on the board, small squad etc.

Another part of me thinks though that a statement win would feel.much better all round. Three strong wins in eight days, solid momentum and confidence, all of that stuff.

Another top post from the Abrahams factory.

Armstrong as Danny says is the only option.

I just hope that it’s a starting XI without Grealish for the foreseeable and perhaps after that.

‘ … seemingly a good character’? When it comes to footy, I would put professionalism and reliability miles ahead of ‘character’. ‘A good character’ who lets his club and teammates and fans down not once, not twice, not ….

You mean that he smiles a lot and gave 1/30th of his weekly wage to a good cause. All the laughing and hail fella well met might well have its origin in compensation for all the other stuff.

It is his first time ER. I’ll be shocked if he does not get warmly greeted. Like MG, those dugout and front row of the main stand scenes will stay with me forever.

Cheers MK

Thanks Patric

I think we will have too much for Coventry. I do have a feeling Branthwaite may be out so Jake O’Brien to partner Tarkowski and Rhol back to right back. I am hoping Dibling will get a start if that is the case.

Pickford

Rhol, O’Brien. Tarkowski, Mykolenko

Harrison, Garner,

Dibling, Dewsbury-Hall, George,

Barry.

I hope so Edward

Most fans’ strongest memory of Frank is of him dancing on the dugout after the Palace game, the emotions just pouring out of him. I assume that fond memory will generate a warm welcome back for him tomorrow.

Absolutely, Blues have class, usually. I got weird on Frank, but he is obviously a man of character. I just thought he took on too much risk playing how we did with him.

We’ve been stuck in neutral for several decades and I think will be so for as long as I live- and I’m not thinking of dying anytime soon.

It’s the way it is, many clubs are in this situation and as soon as they try and break the glass ceiling, they get their face cut up- that’s what the 70% rule for Europe is intended to do.

At least for us, it’s so long since we won anything, any cup, even the most minor one, would be bordering on orgasmic. Not likely, but at least possible with a lot of luck and it keeps you interested.

The league? Well the idea, the only idea is to avoid relegation.

He illustrates that we don’t need a left back to be in a position to put crosses in John, we just need a winger, which George is. I just hope he can be as good as Johnny was.

A monumental political event Dale.

If you find it difficult to pronounce my name just call me Senator.

Classic.

Up The Blues

Those bastards!

You’re up to -3 now. I’m a bit jealous. Oh wait, you were at -5.

Everton’s debt is round four to six hundred million, would you buy into tha. Of course moyes will get a new contract, TFG won’t pay a penny more than they have to, and that means no transfers.

He is an unprofessional fool. But you don’t boo anyone in a blue shirt

You have minus 2 Dale.

They should nail their colours to the mast mate, post a reply.

You don’t, I do.

No problem.

Coventry were slow out of the blocks but appear to be getting ‘up to speed’ now. We have, however, improved a bit ourselves recently and the players should be able to build on that modest momentum.

I’m really hoping for a complete performance. First live game this season for me. Having to drive up quite late so will be going straight to the game. Would be very grateful if anyone could direct me to a good secure parking spot that isn’t too much of a hike away from the stadium.

Ged Simpson suggests booing him. Taxi for Ged

Could also be taken as a statement he is not going anywhere soon as he has unfinished business.

Rather watch a Moyes side than any side Dyche put out, no lover of Moyes but 30 times the manager Dyche is.

Does anyone care, not a political site this.

Everton fans and Everton fans only site fuck Trump and his UK counterparts.

Spot on in some respects John not so much on others. I thought Monday was a Moyes masterclass. Not for minute did i think we in any trouble and i thought his tactics were brilliant. That said we do miss chances to put the game to bed so we could well improve on that score Hull and Bournemouth should have been wins giving the chances we had in both games but er no.

Why would we boo any of our own players. Unreal.

If the rumours im hearing about Grealish, and they are only that, rumours.

I truly believe Jack has well and truly pissed on his chips, think Shandy Andy and Royston, Davey boy if anything is ultra professional and wont tolerate any shenanigans.

Be honest though have we missed him and the answer to that would be an unequivable no.

Tom Finney and Andre Gomez in the same side, wow would liked to have been at that game.

He wont though will he itll be more or less the same side that perormed in my view excellently on Monday night, if he does make changes and i hope he doesnt it could well backfire.

Reserves come on Hurbert your showing your age there mate.

Mark have you been away the last 5 months? The owners are selling up mate.

Good shout David, totally agree.

He’s happy to take the 5 million wages per year while being under no pressure whatsoever to do any better than mid table finishes

Can’t agree with this. He’s a top player and clearly has an affinity for the club and fans. He’s got my support. We should all want this to work out well.

Mark he said "I wish I had the trophies…they had". Not really a direct admittance that he’s responsible for failing to win a trophy with Everton.

He’s always been happy to play the role of manager with little cash to spend while other managers with less have won trophies. Glasner being the latest.

I think O’Brien played well, Brian, but as the article headline suggests, it should be horses for courses. At home against Coventry, I think there needs to be an attacking outlet from RB. I would like AMN to come back in, but I expect Moyes to play Rohl there

Hi Paul, they are Evertonians who are regular guests on the show, but we’re also lining up other guests as we look to grow the podcast.
