My thoughts on Coady are - well I wouldn’t want Holgate, Keane AND Coady. Sell Holgate and Keane and then sign Coady would be shrewd(ish) business to me but having all 3 would be a bit silly!!!
Even better - sell Holgate and Keane and Coady can go to Sheff.Utd while we sign a pacy centre-back better than what we have currently.

Replacing one sicknote with another.
I do not like this.

Sign a has-been. No thanks. 

We need players with pace, strength, work rate and leadership - they obviously need to have the quality but we need to be realistic of where we are. Outgoings will be key - how do we get rid of Gomes, Gbamin, Alli, Maupay, Holgate and Keane? Probably £500k in wages every week there. Give me more McNeil/ Garner type signings - good age, probably not breaking the bank, resale and most importantly quality.

Comments in italics.  Unsure if we need tons of experience, high wages, and short contracts.  Time to start thinking like a modern club and planning for the future with younger prospects.  Buying talent to pole vault us into the top 6 was the Morshiri led mistake that has us in the our current mess.

I want to see lots of young, up and coming purchases, not the established premier journeyman player purchases or the agent pushed ones that are the top 6 rejects. This is how Brentford / Brighton have built their success and its how we need to go about our transfer business.

He has to be given a chance. His mentality fits what the fans want; hard work, gritty and pretty depending on the game, no bullshit talk. 
He needs a chance and we as fans need to be patient.

Lampard had had pretty much all of our easy games before his sacking, Dyche has had Arsenal (twice), Man City, Newcastle, the shite, Man United, , Brentford, Chelsea, Brighton, Fulham amongst his games.
Lampard had us getting beaten by all of our relegation rivals, some while they sat fucking bottom of the league, whereas Dyche has had us beat Leeds, draw with Leicester, draw with Wolves, draw with Palace... All games I think there's a good chance we'd have taken fuck all from under Lampard.
To compare the managers and say Dyche is doing the same, or worse, is a load of crap and is just showing how things can be twisted.
I'm no huge fan of Dyche but that really is a nonsense observation.

It's just a game.. right? ..WRONG.  if I'm awake I'm thinking of Sunday. Been playing game in my head over and over.  Crazy how this club has a hold over me. Add  I'm American.  I should not be this hooked but I am.
Come on you Blues! One time... please..one time

He needs to admit he was wrong, apologise for his actions, and say he just wants to come back to be at Goodison and see Everton play and be part of us again. That is all it would take for his nonsense to be forgiven.
All families have rows and people get caught up in it, just say sorry and we move on.

I’d play mina ahead of Keane.  Mina doesn’t often pass the eye test but his stats are no where near as bad as Keane.  We all know when Keane is in this current run of form jd needs time out. We can’t play him through it, lampard tried that. Gave him arm band etc. 

Brighton chasing hard for a European spot - so not taking it easy from them. Going to need a top performance and most probably that slice of luck to get anything out of this game. I do feel we have got ourselves in the position we actually do need something. 

Not a chance it will be 0-0 if Keane starts. Well have to score a goal for every one he gifts to Brighton.

Will continue to support him. That said the red flags are increasing with alarming frequency. To continue to play Keane, at all, is nothing short of appalling. Godfrey is not a fullback, and never will be. The lack of and, when they are made, questionable subs has serious Bobby Brown Shoes vibes. 
If Keane starts at Brighton and anyone but Patterson is playing at RB I'll be f***ing fuming. 

Keane keeps making errors...these ones he is getting away with but his passing with head or foot is shite.

I've truly had enough already of Dyche and his stubborness

Gift number 2. No need to try against us, we'll just give you the opportunities!

Every time we have to work like f'ing Trojans to get a goal and yet we always gift goals that require no effort at all! FFS!!

I thought he showed real quality in limited minutes in the spurs match, and I think with Doucs absence it makes the most sense for him to step into the starting midfield. Him and onana actually complement each other well in theory. 

What a fucking strike that was! 
Such a weird game. Our two best players at the time let us down, albeit at least Keane made up for it with that strike.
I thought we were really good. Gray got on my tits for almost always choosing the wrong option but everyone else contributed to a great team performance that deserved more. 
It is a shame we will miss Doucoure as he was doing so well but Garner came in and looked lively so between him and Davies I am sure we can cover the whole he leaves. 

I'm going into this one with the exact same mindset I've had for every game since the WC, not expecting anything.
I am broken inside.
