Tottenham Hotspur 2 - 0 Everton [L]

Classic Dyche

Shows how much I know!

Good luck to the lad. And thanks again for the birthday wishes.

But sick of seeing Doucoure and McNeil. He should have at least started one Ndiaye and Lindstrom.

Hopefully Tarkowski is actually fit - and in better form than he was on the first day (and much of last season too where he stood off attackers far too often for my liking).

Don't take unnecessary risks when things are going well but take risks when you are trying to find a way out of a difficult situation.

If Dixon has a poor game then we come away with the same number of points as we would with Holgate but if he has a good game then he may be the solution to our right-back problem.

Good luck, lad!

Sometimes you do have to throw them in to see if they sink or swim.

Good luck lad. COYB.

Will we miss Holgate? Would we miss an illness?

Every week, they make a deliberate error and I copy like it like a numpty!

Gana plays... not Garner.

It's a lose-lose situation playing Dixon, if he's not ready he'll get criticised for that and if he's brilliant he'll get hammered for not doing it sooner.

Fingers crossed for a great game and 3 points.

God it's the hope that kills you.

COYB 🔵

Dyche is Moyes in disguise.

Garner is a deliberate error on the website Match Centre lineup.

I was hoping for Ndiaye to start behind Calvert-Lewin.

Hoping for a good performance and our first point(s) of the season.

Dixon looked impressive in pre-season, but I still don't understand why Dyche brought on Young for Coleman against Roma, it would have been the perfect opportunity to see how Dixon would have coped?

UTFTs!

Either a star is born or it'll be a disaster. I've seen virtually nothing of Dixon, so I have no idea if the kid can handle it or not, but there is joy in my soul at not having to watch Holgate play.

And I hope Dyche gets credit for it.

I havent seen young Dixon play at all, so I am really excited for him. Best of luck to him..

You only make one EPL debut son. Take it all in and enjoy it

Same as last week,an easy Spuds win...3-0.

Hope the wife doesn't read your messages 😂

However, maybe we can assume last week was just a bad day at the office and that they can bounce back with a surprise. God knows we haven't seen too many of those.

A big game all around from everyone is necessary to help dispel that bad taste from the Brighton game. C.O.Y.B.

Didn't Alan Hansen say that about Man Utd kids?

Then they won the league

Same shit different week.

4-0 predicted – half-way there…

This will end up 4-0.

It's hard enough under this manager's tactics without fucking players gifting them a goal.

We look like the worst team in the league. No pace, no movement, no clue.

We know what's going to happen with the tried and tested lot.

How often does the guy let us down? The guy's kept us in the Premier League for the past 3 years.

Grow up, you child.

How many seasons have we said that now? Too bloody many.

I do sometimes wonder why Everton Football Club has become so anti-football over the last 7 or 8 years.

I long for the entertainment days of Martinez and being distraught at finishing 12th.

We don't even possess a style of play anymore, it's just not even resembling of professional football.

He's a clueless dinosaur.

He signs new players but continually picks tried and tested failures.

It's about the players too, but the manager is extremely uninspiring let's be honest.

I can't think of another side who'd win so few matches in that period of time, who wouldn't sack their manager. We'll wait for another couple of month's damage before we finally pull the trigger.

The problem is the owner, the utter farce of a takeover situation he's put us in with 777 Partners loan and severe lack of resources. We're in yet another relegation fight with a lack of squad depth.

Only positive today is Dixon who has played really well. Hope he continues to start ahead of Calamity Young.

We're two games in. We've played the team currently top of the league, are currently playing a very, very good team on their own patch. The goals were a worldie, and a goalkeeping fuck-up. We're currently down many first-team players, and have a threadbare squad.

Rob @ 83, is spot on too.

Spurs started as though they were going to target Dixon all afternoon but they then switched and give the lad his due, Dixon hasn't put a foot wrong and the extra help he has had at times now seem a lot more trusting of him.

The first goal the result of getting men forward, the second was that of a relegation bound team and I haven't noticed much of Doucoure or Gana so anyone think Dyche might break the habit of his lifetime and give Armstrong or one of the new lads a run or will he still be thinking that this is his best side so will stick with it?

Forget league positions for a while... we're an absolute gift.

With proactive substitutions and with little bravery we can get something from this game. Tottenham are not the great and suspect defensively. Unless we show intensity and attack proactively we are heading nowhere

We're like the 7th cavalry riding to the rescue of under pressure managers and strikers who haven't scored since pre history.

They'll miss us when we're gone.

Apart from Pickies incredible fuck up, yes put on somebody with a football brain. Those we have signed still sitting on the bench with hoof ball just the only tactic Dyche knows.

These are wide open in the middle of midfield with little pace and a simple pass through their lines leaves them wide open.

Somebody needs to let Dyche know that grass is made to play football on and not in the stratosphere.

Quick passing on the floor beats hoofing it high and wide with the passengers we have. Doucoure what is he doing on the pitch? absolutely offers nothing with supposedly clever footballers sitting on the bench.

These are there for the taking with a small adjustment in the midfield. Doesn't Dyche know what a wall pass is? Can't stop that first goal but the second was a monumental fuck up.  

Jimmy Armfield once told me as a sixteen-year-old pass and move 5 yards can create 10 - 15 yards of space.

Dyche has not got a clue about passing and moving full stop. We don't have great players, but footie is so simple on the grass.

Watching at 11.00 pm here, totally embarrassed to be an EFC lifelong supporter. Think I am done now and wont waste any more Saturday or Sunday's watching this crap.
