Well he loved his time in Germany and didn’t want to come back, but the club wouldn’t accept another loan deal but set a fee which they couldn’t afford. If we was talking Davies I’d definitely agree he has refused loan deals in the past preferring to stay and fight for his place.

What makes everyone so confident he will accept a new contract on much less wages than others and play second fiddle as well, he could quite easily go on a free back to Germany with a signing on fee a greater chance of playing every week, and a decent contract as well.

And some want to drop him next game if Gray is fit

I’m not to concerned having heard today the Germans have offered to donate 500 helmets to help Ukrainian fight the Russians off, absolute piss takers that will be seen as show of weakness to the Russians when the rest of Europe should be standing strong and defiant and sending troops into the Ukraine in there tens of thousands as the Russians have done in Belarus. I’m convinced with Putin you have to fight fire with fire it’s the only sort of language he understands.

A lot richer than when he first left

Completely agree, On a scale of 1-10 and 1 being the scruffiest and 10 being the smartest, how would you say you was dressed when writing that post.

We have to trust the manager to make the right decisions, when it comes to the MF and wide areas he’s going to be spoilt for choice and the bench will be full of quality, how often have we been able to say that in the last few seasons.

Plenty of games left for a 9th/10th finish COYB

He went out for the warm up and he apparently felt ill, something tells me the booing of both sets of supporters may have had a lot to do with his sudden illness, or he might have cat flu.

Well that’s a bonus

Amen to that

Who you calling uneducated you put red wine in the fridge, I rest my case

I think that’s what I’ve said about the performance from all the players in front of them, but I'm also saying we won’t be that dominant in all games going forward, and that’s when you need your CBs to step up, and ours seem incapable of doing that under pressure.

An easy game for our CBs due to pressing and good ball retention and the fact Leeds didn’t have much to offer in the final third, we will see them have a lot harder games before the season is finished and the same old weaknesses will be exposed again. I still think we need a complete overhaul of our CBs next transfer window.

He took his opportunity when it was given, he had a clean slate under Lampard and everything to prove with no doubts hanging over him, let’s hope this wasn’t one of his good performances which we’ve had in the past and now we’ve got ten poor to follow.

Lampard gave massive credit to the fans for their part in this win, I would say he’s never felt the power that is Goodison anywhere in his career before.

And score the first 2 goals.

I went for DVB for me he was the difference the team needed, the most complete MF performance we’ve seen for so long I can’t remember the last. I love games like this where the votes are spread around it shows it was a proper team performance.

Made us tick a master class in MF play, I hope Goodison has touched him and he sticks a transfer request in.

VDB is sublime what a player love him.

Get in what a great goal

Did have tickets but unfortunately can’t make it, gave them to my boy who’s an Everton fan and his lad who is a Chelsea fan, thinking Chelsea hate Leeds but he’s 21 and doesn’t know about the rivalry of the late 60s early 70s but has promised to cheer us on. As Dunc has highlighted every one there as a duty to push the team over the line, good luck lad’s and keep singing they need you.

I have said that wearing club attire wouldn’t make him a better player, but both coming out in club colours of some description would have shown a better image for the club in my eyes, I maybe out of touch with fashion and designer clothes, but I don’t see that as the issue this isn’t an age thing it’s an image thing in my view. My missus many years ago use to be a buyer for Texas Home Care they were a national DIY chain that went bust, just to prove how good she was at her job , they use to have what they called a muffty day from memory and used it to raise money for charity, where you were allowed to go to work very casual for a small donation to the charity box, but if you had meetings with clients in or out the office you were expected to dress accordingly. I think the club will learn from this because any negative comments are bad comments for a business that cares about it’s image, and the act of going to dressing room 15 minutes before you are paraded to all and sundry and putting a club tracky on isn’t to much to ask surely, and if it is then what a shit position this club as got it’s self into on and off the the pitch.

That’s were I stand as I said in my original post the club should be giving them an acceptable dress code that represents the club only when on official club duty, and I believe he was at the ground on official club duty that day. No it’s not going to make him a better player, but it gives an image of a united discipline which is a strong message to portray from a club and team point a view,and what’s so wrong with that, his dress on that day when he was being presented to the fans the media the country did draw negatives from some fans and some of the media which does vindicate that it was looked upon by some as unacceptable. Everton as a football club are a business and I believe should act accordingly, some of you own your own businesses or hold managerial roles in the company’s you work for, surely you must see how important it is for the image of the company to be shown in a positive way. Come on Everton pull your socks up on certain simple things and who knows it may reflect favourable on the playing side. I could go on for ever and tell you the things I’ve learnt and implemented over the years in my business to enhance my company's image which if you place the success of business on it’s repeat contracts and profits I haven’t done to bad a job.

You must have a strange sense of humour Dunc if you find that Ist stat fun I’m in tears
