• Moye’s coaching team are as archaic as he is, somebody must have come up with the mind bending strategy of pairing O’Brien with Branthwaite, Röhl at RB cos we haven’t got one, and he might do, so “let’s have a look”….. radical, coach McKinally, proud of yeh, coach Irvine, why didn’t you think of that? But 15 minutes in, a midfielder gets injured, yes a midfielder, with 6 different midfielders on the bench what do our forward thinking, risk taking,coaching staff do? Shit themselves and go back to last seasons failings, Jake go to right back, Merlin midfield, Keane centre half, we learnt an awful lot yesterday We’re fooked with this coaching team, no vision, no trying different formation's, strategy or players, same old stale tactics,same old disjointed performances. One up front..yes Everyone back for corners..yes Lump it up front for the lone striker to head it onto nobody..yes It’s going to be a long, boring season....
  Jeff Armstrong in What we learned: Stuttgart 3-1 Everton
• Same PH. Mcneil is out of contract next summer.rnrnId happily trade a player that will walk for free, for a lad that gives us pace and a goal threat in a position where we have little genuine depth. rnrnHe has a good scoring record and could really offer something different to the other 3 wingers we have.rnrnHow msny times have we looked at the bench and thought there is no one there to turn a game around?rnrnIf he exploded at Palace, then this deal wouldnt be on the table.rnrnA worthy gamble....
  Ian Bennett in Everton 'in talks' with Crystal Palace over McNeil and Johnson swap deal
• Am I the only one scared by Mike\'s comment Garner is our best player?rnrnNot saying Mike is wrong, but is that how far we\'ve fallen? Garner is a talented pro, but no top team would pick him first choice. Like Leon Osman, touching international call up but not really.rnrnWhen I think we were shite but still could fall back on a Brazilian international in Richarlison, now James is our best player. Man we need a wake up call ...
  Stu Gre in “I’ve had two loans now and I think I’ve improved on both” — Armstrong makes case to Moyes after ever-present pre-season
• I agree Paul. I wanted us to also sign him when he was at Forest, and was also disappointed when we didn\'t go in for him in Jan when Palace bought him. Who\'d have thought fast forward 7 months we\'d be getting him on a straight swap for McNeil. ...
  Gavin Johnson in Everton 'in talks' with Crystal Palace over McNeil and Johnson swap deal
• Mike @ 6, whilst I agree with your testing of Garner, there can be no justification for dropping Armstrong if he is playing lights out.rnrnGuess work of course but I don\'t believe a player producing top quality football, should be dropped the minute a player he replaced is fit. rnrnUnfortunately our decrepit manager has history for this. ...
  Sean Herbert in “I’ve had two loans now and I think I’ve improved on both” — Armstrong makes case to Moyes after ever-present pre-season
• I\'m scratching my head at people who don\'t think this deal is good for us. Johnson was a player I wanted when he was at forest. Sure his move to palace hasn\'t worked out, but not ever move does. This lad has pace( something we don\'t have much of). Can score goals and can play on either wing. Plus he\'s only 25. And we get rid of McNeill. Win win....
