DELPH AND GRAY NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW

We don't need 3 CB's to contain Weghorst but most importantly I favor any lineup without Holgate in it. Between his play, attitude and comments/quotes he is public enemy #1 for me. The less he plays on the run-in and the faster we move him out this summer the better.

He could be the man sent off and we finish a game with 10 men for the 4th game running.

Agreed. it's one extreme or the other at this point: MOTM or red. 

Fabian Delph might be the one to save us from relegation. Some universe we're living in. 

Burnley 1 - 2 Everton

Coleman

Thank you for sharing this @Hafnia. This is excellent stuff. Love this kind of chat, it's something we Americans have yet to embrace. 

Hammers 2 - 2 Everton

DCL

For about 8 days I mostly forgot about our situation. Now it's all I can think about again. We haven't won a league game away from home since bloody f***ing August. That's 9 losses and 2 draws on the trot, including to Brentford and Norwich, and we've been outscored 26-6. Bless all the supporters brave enough to go to West Ham and Burnley. True masochists. 

Beat Burnley and we just might catch Leeds or Brentford for 16th with our games in hand.

West Ham away first. It would be so Everton to win at West Ham and then get thrashed at Burnley. And I'd probably take that right now if it was offered.

3 points from 2 away games in 4 days. Need everyone be reminded of our away form this season. Absolutely we'd take that. Hell I'd take 2 points.

We can keep blaming managers. But if you give a cleaner a chisel and hammer…. They won’t just turn into a carpenter.

Same as our players. You can’t give them a few training sessions and expect them to turn into footballers.

Frank needs to tell the players that its a back four from here on in, tell each player which place in the back four is their prime position and then drill the hell out of them on the training pitch. Just like Moyes did. It might not be pretty but if it keeps us up, we can then review in the summer.

Lampard said our players dont have the bollocks….. and that the tactics were fine as the first 15 minutes showed this.

well done frank.   Those bunch of cowards will no doubt be whattsapping and moaning that you said mean things about them…. But let them.   Make sure you have daily meetings with new dof and demand progress reports on how you are gonna turf half the pricks out and the hungry ambitious replacements you have lined up. 

Agree wholeheartedly with all of this. I think Frank is the man to lead us for several years, and I never thought that would be the case. Imagine being in his shoes right now. We were destroying palace for 15 mins and then  Keane turns into a parking cone again and we concede. Game over. There is no coaching for what our players do. We had Carlo fucking Ancelotti for Christ’s sake. This lot are an embarrassment. 

Injuries, suspension and cup-tied leaves us very light.

Begovic, Lonergan, Kenny, Patterson, Holgate, Keane, Mykolenko, Godfrey, Seamus, Branthwaite, Townsend, doucs, Iwobi, Gomes, richarlison, dcl, gray, cenk, Gordon, Salomon 

without Allan I’d like to see us go 3-4-3

gordon needs a rest. Gray and richarlison can tuck inside and use their work rate to help doucs gomes at times and allow Patterson and mykolenko to provide the width.

We're keeping on pace. Beating Burnley and Watford might, might just be enough regardless of every other result. But they're both away so we know how that's likely to go. 

If we launch one more ball in the air to Dan Burn...jesus f***ing h

Calling us toothless is an insult to the word toothless. The only way we look like scoring is a VAR awarded pen

FFS. 

Everton 1 - 0 Newcastle

Richarlison

Charging? He never left 2nd gear except to needlessly bully their keeper. His football is garbage and he's exactly the type of character that changing room doesn't need at the moment.

I can't see a win against Newcastle.

I can see both Wolves and Newcastle games ending as draws. And that is no good to us at all.

We've not won in 4 against newcastle including 3 straight losses. 

Anybody think if we kickoff Sunday in 18th (based on Burnley result against Brentford) that’s a good thing? Maybe the fact we aren’t actually in the relegation zone has this useless squad feeling too comfortable…

Everton 2 - 1 Wolves

Richarlison

Enjoy @MikeO

If you look at the results it seems like 4231 causes Wolves the most trouble.

Wolves do play Thursday so we'll have the fresher legs, not that any of us think it's a matter of fresh legs that can save us. 

The longer I've been a fan the less appealing it becomes to every year suggest wholesale changes. Usually 2-3 incomings is all it takes to have a real impact. That said, I see absolutely no hope for most of this squad and IF we don't get relegated it will be the biggest summer in the 21st century. We're unbelievably close to being a consistent midtable club whose measure of success would be top half and is one or two injuries from relegation, forget about Europe. Think Villa and Southampton. I don't know much about this lad Thelwell but he has a meteoric task on hand. 

Squad for 22/23 right now:
GK: Pickford, Begovic(option), J Virginia, Crellin
DEF: Keane, Mina, Holgate, Godfrey, Mykolenko, Coleman, Patterson, Branthwaite, Nkounkou
MID: Allan, Doucoure, Gomes, Davies, Gbamin, Dele
FWD: DCL, Richarlison, Gray, Townsend, Gordon, Iwobi, Rondon

Gone after 21/22: Lonergan, Kenny, Delph, Siggy, Tosun, El Ghazi, Tosun
On loan 22/23: Moise Kean

Needs to go: Keane, Holgate, Gomes, Gbamin, Iwobi, Rondon
Need to sign: Starting RB, Starting CB, Starting LB, Starting DCM, Starting #10/playmaker, backup ST, backup W, 2 backup CMs

At least 6 out and 9 in under our financial fair play restrictions. The only glimmer of hope is Thelwell can use his knowledge of MLS to find a bargain or two. There's legitimate talent here now.

Anyone still thinking we're not battling relegation is wrong. I'm expecting it to come down to the last two weeks and if we miraculously pull ourselves out of it before then, dandy.

Frank has got to show his tough side and drop Keane and Coleman, sorry Seamus.

He has to do whatever it takes to make this game 3-1 or 3-2. This is a trainwreck, we need some fight to take into Wolves.
