Boy does he know he’s got a MASSIVE job on his hands

Just plays into trouble all of the time doesn’t he? Second half when he tried to ping a ball from inside of his six yard box to Mykolenko, and just played us into pressure. Typical of his game. 

Absolutely finished at the top level. 
 

At Fault for the 1st and gave the ball away fir the 4th. Utter utter garbage. Please put him out of his misery.

He’s completely forgotten where he has come from. 

The hype has got to him. His whole persona has changed. There’s more of an arrogant swagger about him. He no longer works hard. Please please do not start this man again. 
 

Gordon, Gray and Richarlison must start with Ali as backup. 

he’s the straw man. Absolute crap. 

If you know absolutely anything about football you will look at Harry Kane’s performance and this absolute lettuces performance and realise we have an absolute conman. 
 

“He’s not fit” “He’s injured” he’s poor very poor. Playing with a man down.

Sell 

Allan and Gordon superb went with Gordon

I hope so mate, but even if we are allowed to waiver it I can’t see them letting us add to the wage bill . The biggest hit is going to be the stadium naming rights , if there is one to name that is

The good thing about the wage bill is a couple of the top earners will be off it by June. 
 

Siggy, Delph even Tosun.

Without doubt we will be screwed by FFP, if we were running a fine line before then losing all of our major sponsors in one foul swoop ( apart from Cazoo) is going to have a catastrophic effect

We will not only not be signing anyone we will also have to trim the wage bill dramatically as your only allowed to spend a certain percentage of income on the wage bill and I should imagine we will be way over that now 

I suspect we may use this to waiver FFP

The cynic in me says that the club wouldn't have pulled Russian sponsorships if it meant the stadium wouldn't get completed. 

Let’s be honest the whole funding of Everton football club is Usmanov. All of it. He’s the owner with Moshiri fronting it, I have absolutely no doubt about it. 
 

For reasons like now it was a clever move putting Moshiri as the front. However, all going on will likely mean we have nothing to spend in the summer.

Stadium will be in major major doubt now. on hold.

If the ball hadn't taken a deflection due to another player desperately defending to get us a point then Keane clears that no bother. As it is he was wrong-footed and couldn't adjust himself quick enough. I think people are being a bit over the top about this one.

I understand he's an easy target because he has made some big mistakes but I wouldn't put today's in there. It was just one of those things in my opinion.

It was a huge mistake IMO. He just wasn’t concentrating. That costs us a point yesterday. 

I think 34 keeps you up this season. We are dramatically relying on our home games 4 wins from the remaining games will keep us up IMO

16th with 34 points for me

Tbf he has been playing in a side all season where the only player with an ounce of creativity has been Richarlison himself and he can’t be expected to do it all

Now we have the likes of Alli and DVDB and with Gordon blossoming Then add to the mix DCL being back to take some of the pressure off him Ifully expect him to thrive in the second half of the season

This aged well 

Broke his wrist signing loan agreement. Out for 14 months

Fucking hell this is embarrassing. The lad is back after missing most of the season but he's not guaranteed himself the golden boot in 3 games back so let's sack him off. No wonder we're in a state when our own fans are more fickle than our owner. 

Some fans have never rated him. Not fickle

I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I wouldn’t use match fitness as an excuse, he’s been back in the team since Jan 4th played 5 games and had 1.5 months of training and still looked very very poor and even disinterested which I find the most concerning. 

As stated he’s more interested in showing his body off, taking his bobble out and shaking his hair in front of the crowd…. Maybe that’s what he’s after the L’Oréal advert. He could wear a skirt too. 
 

Genuinely though he looks very very disinterested

FFS as Dunlop says the lad has been out for 4 months, it’s going to take him time to get back up to speed. Anyone ever heard of match fitness?

He has changed his game and been told to play within the lines of the 18 yard box, if we don’t get the ball into the 18 yard box then it’s pretty bloody obvious he is going to be ineffective 

Give him the service and I’m sure he will still produce the goods 

Even when getting chances he has a poor conversion rate for me. Misses far too many chances 

He more interested in taking his shirt off at the end of each game and posing than actually playing football. 

Gray if fit may start on the bench at the weekend. But after that he’s back in the side full time when fit. Not even questionable.
 

Iwobi will be anonymous on Saturday that’s how history is played out. Prove me wrong Alex. Regardless he doesn’t keep Gray out this side EVER
 

I think he comes back in straight away

Made up that he’s showed the level he can play to. Cos lampard will hold him to that. 
 

gomes showed the level he can play to and then dropped off a cliff as he usually does and got nowhere near the pitch yesterday.  
 

I fully expect iwobi to do something similar and that’s when we will hopefully see lampard get straight on him. 
 

maybe he won’t and lampard has his respect and we see that effort every week. But there are s good few players who share the same inconsistencies mainly application and effort. 

Exactly the massive difference yesterday was the effort he put in. I don’t think he’s applied himself fully at this club apart from yesterday. Hopefully it continues and he makes a good squad player to rotate. 

On the scale of 0-Gbamin he’s Gbamin. Terrible injury record this. He has to be released at the end of his contract. 
 

Massive £120k a week wages too. 

Mina has to be sold, a long with Keane. Holgate I’ve been impressed with the last couple of games. But I don’t see a Holgate/Godfrey partnership as strong enough. Braithwaite could likely step up based on what I’ve seen. 

Mina is out of contract next summer anyway. Definitely an area which needs recruitment.
