I kind of get the feeling he probably won’t want to work in football in any capacity.

I’m not gonna lie I’ll be very happy to never see this one in an Everton kit again.

The team have posted to Instagram that he’s off.

Homegrown. It’s unfortunate that players like Richarlison who will play for the shirt despite no previous allegiance seem harder and harder to come by.

Yeah I can’t imagine they’ll let their best player go. I’m not at all a fan of him as a person but he is a great player. Not the kind of character I think we want at Everton, though.

Damn.

The third goal today was incredibly poor. I still think he’s talented, but he definitely needs better competition than Stekelenburg.

I see there’s been a fair amount of discussion here that I’ve missed, but here’s my take: Realistically, how much of our deadwood can we ship out? Here’s a list of who I’d like to see go after today’s performance: Sidibe, Davies, Walcott, Iwobi, Bernard, Stekelenburg, Tosun, Ramirez, Delph, Besic, Bolasie, Pennington. Obviously we can’t get rid of all of these. I’d love to add Sigurdsson to the list, but I don’t think we can afford to lose his completely inconsistent creativity until we’ve made a couple solid midfield signings. As far as depth goes: GK: Pickford/Need signing/Virginia CB: Keane/Holgate/Mina/Branthwaite/need signing RB: Need signing/Coleman/Kenny LB: Digne/Hope to god Baines stays/Nkounkou DM: Need signing/Gbamin/Baningime Mid: Need signing/Gomes/Sigurdsson/Dowell/Adeniran Wingers/forwards: Richarlison/Need signing/Gordon/need signing Strikers: DCL/Kean/Need signing If I had my way, that’s 8 new first team signings, which is obviously not feasible. Hopefully we can get at least 3 in and maybe a couple more on loan. Iwobi and Walcott are probably not going anywhere, so unfortunately I think we might be stuck with our current options up front. We absolutely need to prioritize competition for Gomes/Siggy (signing a competent number 10 would make me incredibly happy) as well as sign at least one capable DM and hope that Gbamin is back to full strength. RB is also a glaring spot of need. If we could get those three in and a decent winger, I’d be made up. Edit: Forgot Dowell in the original post.

I’ll take courage from Kean’s performance. The only silver lining.

Normally I think Carlo makes good subs. Today, 3 of them have been absolutely useless.

Jesus Christ.

Sidibe shit since coming on.

I need to see it one more time, but it almost looked like it struck the arm of the defender behind Kean as well. Hard to tell from the angle.

Bainsey saving a definite goal there.

I don’t like the decision to take Kean off there at all. I think he deserved 90 minutes based on his play tonight.

The inconsistency of refereeing in the PL makes me fucking sick to my stomach. I hate losing when the other teams get assists from referees more than any other type of loss.

Should have been a handball for us.

Definitely put in a couple good tackles. You can’t question his heart. He just doesn’t usually have the ability.

Impressive ball from Kean to create a chance there.

Yup I had that thought when he tapped in the ball from Walcott. Normally we don’t have anyone at that back post.

Well shit.

Yeah Coleman did the most work there. Always just surprised to see Walcott not fuck up a chance.

Kean looks really, really good. Getting in great positions, holding the ball up very well, and showing that little bit of something special on the ball we’ve been lacking. Then he scuffs a header and gives the ball away but still. This is the start we’ve all been looking for from him.

Hell yeah Kean!

Great from Branthwaite there.
