Goodison Glory

While it may be our only option, putting chermiti up top vs shite is reminiscent of Simms starting against them - not ready and looked out of his depth (at that stage of his development)

Good job elanga is on the bench...did he not roast Young in the reverse fixture??!

He was also pretty good for us in his first 4-6 games or so.

2-1 Eve DCL

Honestly I don't think it's going to take all 3. As long as we don't lose to Luton and win one more we will be fine...that would be min 5pts difference v Luton with only 3 games to go for them. to be mathematically certain, yes, we need to win those 3 games...but it's likely not going to take that. of course, we don't look like winning ANY games right now!

I don't want to be dramatic but lose this and I think we are fucked. the team needs a Palace (2022), Bournemouth (2023) esque performance. we need composure on the ball so please play Gomes. We need energy and fight so please don't play Onana. finally we need some luck in front of goal because skill (or lack of) is getting us nowhere. COYB!

It's been the same his entire tenure. Never gives a straight answer, has a pocket of standard responses usually involving "he's back on the grass"

Not even sure how many times he touched the ball!

And that is why Chelsea have spent shit loads of money and still aren't challenging for anything - bunch of mercenaries most of them.

He's not the only one.

He will prob say that's why I get Pickford to belt it long every time!!!

It's very hard not to be negative about our team. Wish there were positives to latch on to. garner is a shadow of himself - tactics have killed him, now when he gets the ball he is so ineffective. Beto - aside from the miss can't even trap/control a ball. plenty more players not doing it so by no means just blaming those two.

No one in our team can even dream of scoring that. Just strokes it in!

The replays make it look worse...hit it with his knee....foot-eye coordination clearly lacking!

Che 2 - 1 Eve Doucs

Such as running, passing and shooting

Any idea when forest hear the outcome of their appeal?

A bit of a let down Jarrad didn't get on today. Being around the squad is ok, but would hoped him to get some minutes. Perhaps vs Belgium.

I guess this is what happens when you don't have a game for 3 weeks.... had to laugh when I saw the "...14 years later" banner

A bit like Donald Trump then! No regard for facts but just keep repeating the same things and eventually some muppets will believe you.

Dyche better not talk about "process" we created lots of chances...the results will come blah blah.

Just saw a cray stat (well not so crazy if you've actually watched our games) Pickford has 58 passes into the opp box....next highest goalkeeper only has 14 (4x lower) personally I thought pickers made 58 in the palace game alone

That's one paper thin (projected) squad.

My understand from Esk documents is that we were borderline break even in the last accounting year. if we can escape this 2nd charge we should be very healthy as we've had one mediocre year (21/22) and then two strong ones (including 23/24). just got to stay in the league. Open the new stadium and get a new owner....simples!

I need to go and check Beto in Serie A and see who he scored his goals against (Empoli, Monza, Salernitana etc). I know the league is poor these days but can't have been scoring against the better teams...he looks like a baby giraffe running around...lots of effort but no composure.
