Luckily for you mate the grounds are shut because you would have turned up and gone were the fuck is everyone

West Ham 1-3 Everton DCL

Spurs loss to Leeds has given us another glimmer of hope, let’s see if we can take advantage of it this time. We need to get some form of European football next season, even if just as a reward to the management and players, if they can finish 5 6 or 7 places above last season that for me would be a very successful first season for the manager and players deserving of a European spot.

What that you’ve opened a beer or agreed with Haf

He’s had some good games but they have been very far and between, his inconsistency means he has to go. Players that you don’t know from one game to the next what you are going to get really wind me up, even more so when they possess some good attributes but don’t possess the ability to use them when called upon.

Baseball ️ is one sport I’ve really struggled to get excited about, what’s your favoured American sport.

A complete cock.

Count me in as one, I was over the moon when we got him then he didn’t live up to my expectations in his first 5 games or so, until Allan got injured then he just went to a different level and hasn’t dropped since then

In the current squad I only saw 8 players that he would have brought in, pleased to be proven wrong, it shows that getting your own players gives you a better chance of putting a team out in your own style.

It makes me feel that we have been out of control when buying players, due in main to managers who lack experience in building a team and two DoF who have helped facilitate and possibly encouraged the purchase of a unbalanced team. Then you look at the players that Ancelotti has been involved in bringing to the club and not one as received a vote to sell, I believe Brands would have suggested Godfrey and Ancelotti did say that Brands did suggest Doucoure to him, so not all bad from Brands with Digne a huge plus and Niels a possible star of the future. Hopefully with Ancelotti driving the recruitment we will get more buys right than wrong instead of the usual more wrong than right of previous seasons.

Exactly and James, and when they’ve not been available he has had to revert to the old guard.

I would say 4 Allan Doucoure Godfrey and James let him get the next 4 first team players in, and give him another 18 months then we can make a fairer comparison.

Holgate Bernard Iwobi Delph Gylfi Kean and Gbamin.

I agree when more come in they will be surplus to requirements, but whether we can off load them will be a different matter.

I’ve said it before Ancelotti seems to rate Iwobi he sees something in him more than with others that we don’t.

Another bizarre decision that most don’t understand.

Since joining Leeds in June 2018 Bielsa has brought in 8 signings and let 9 players go, he bought players to suit his style of playing, Ancelotti could have taken over that group of players and got the same results, the question should be could Tuchel have done any better with the team Ancelotti was given. When Ancelotti gets 8 players in we will see a big difference, but not so sure Brands will be able to off load the players he brought in who are already or will be very soon surplus to requirements.

I think we all do mate.

King was definitely a non starter who was thought could fill a role as a stand-in for DCL which was quickly seen as a nonentity, Kean lost heart and wanted out long before Ancelotti arrived he got his wish and hopefully we make a decent wedge on him, no point keeping a player who doesn’t want to be here. Your right Iwobi is frustrating he has got a great work ethic and ability but lacks vision he plays like he hasn’t thought about what he is going to do before he receives the ball, can he be coached I don’t think so if the lights not on it usually means there’s no one at home. I really don’t think Ancelotti likes the look of Bernard and wants him gone.

Explain?

I always new you were Posh and not working class. They were very much in the spotlight when Barry Fry was involved with them and had some good moments as I recall, to think the ESL could have potentially destroyed the future of these types of clubs that give supporters and players so many dreams and opportunities, great little post Bill.

That doesn’t read as you have just said. Yes it is the players and the players he didn’t bring into the club that are letting him down, he doesn’t need to prove himself to anyone at Everton, he has been successful at far bigger clubs than us with far bigger pressures, he has a proven system that works and his successful history as proven it works, he’s not going to change his beliefs because the players he as inherited can’t perform he’s going to change the players, he’s not here to fit the players needs he’s here to get the players to fit his needs. So for me all this free ride nonsense because of who he is is bollocks, he’s not on a free ride he’s on a process of moulding a team into his values and beliefs, he’s one year into his challenge made harder by some of the players brought in by Walsh and Brand’s, but for me he is our best chance in years to achieve something at this club as long as he gets sole say on first team acquisitions and the complete backing of the club.

Just say no mate who’s going to check life’s to short.

I thought it was more to do with Ancelotti’s management of DCL and Richarlison, obviously better players like James make a difference, it would be strange to sign players you didn’t think would improve the team to be fair I thought that was the general idea with new signings.
