• I watched Liverpool, last night Jay H, and a couple of minutes before he dived in the box, I could see MacAlister, in the middle of the pitch going nowhere, waiting for someone to come and put him out of his misery, so he could go down and (cheat) claim a foul. It never happened, but lo and behold, not long later he has deceived the referee inside the box. He’s South American, the dark arts seem to come naturally, and with the Evertonians, also ready to do something that comes very naturally, in the bigger games, (get right behind our team) then hopefully the players respond and give us an absolutely beautiful day🤞...

• I’m not sure failing is the correct word Mike.I watched him playing for Fulham, at Anfield during the lockdown season and you could see the talent, but maybe it just shows me that a lot of coaches in the professional game are actually scared of talent?Doesn’t make sense - I know, but for 99% of coaches it’s all about making sure that their players are adept at the dirty side of the game, and this imo, is why a lot of extremely talented young footballers, find it so hard to really break through.The real truth is that we had a phoney bastard owner, who should have never been anywhere near Everton Football Club, imo Dave....

• Hugh @98, thanks for that. With Fagan winning a treble, and Daglish the double in their first seasons in management, I am sure he still had considerable input even after he stepped down....

• Mostly youngsters playing against men so they deserve a lot of credit for that win and that's two goals lately from full back Davis who looks like a decent player.Catesby is just back from a long lay off after a serious injury, he was well rated before that injury so hopefully he picks up from where he left off — he looked quality.Pita and Akarakiri are also well rated along with Graham who came on as a late sub — has he been injured lately?...

• Hugh (90), Quite a lot of Liverpool fans from that era rated Paisley a better manager than Shankly. Peter Robinson, who was at Liverpool for a long time as secretary(?) recalled in Shankly's later years as manager he received many letters from fans demanding that Shankly be replaced....

• Ian (20), Just those five cost us plenty… and there was quite a few more.Lookman always had the talent when he was with us but he was a very young lad away from his roots while he was with us. He grew up while at Fulham who wanted to keep him and he did well at Leicester on and off including scoring the winner v Liverpool. Now the Italian club are benefiting from his time in England.Rooney was a massive success before he left Everton — anyone who saw him in the youth team before he got his debut in the first team knew we had a unique and brilliant outstanding player who had no limits to how far he would go. The truth was we were not a big enough club to keep hold of that talent....
