Everton 2 W Ham 0 Edit to Beto as DCL isn’t starting

We created loads of chances in the early games of the season, guess who was leading the line, yep Maupay, DCL came back for the Villa game and put his head on the line and got concussion, missed a few more games and has been getting his fitness back, during that time we’ve not provided as many chances, some yes but not as many. I have given him Harrison’s chest skim, Harrison knew nothing about it, it should be recorded as DCLs.

Goodison is a mix of fake and real, they talk about it when you do the stadium tour, I think most PL are now as it gives a better lasting surface.

Club statement below, looks we might be looking to claim more Everton can confirm an Appeal Board has concluded that the points deduction imposed by an independent Premier League Commission in November be reduced from 10 points to six points, with immediate effect. While the Club is still digesting the Appeal Board’s decision, we are satisfied our appeal has resulted in a reduction in the points sanction. We understand the Appeal Board considered the 10-point deduction originally imposed to be inappropriate when assessed against the available benchmarks of which the Club made the Commission aware, including the position under the relevant EFL regulations, and the 9-point deduction that is imposed under the Premier League’s own rules in the event of insolvency. The Club is also particularly pleased with the Appeal Board’s decision to overturn the original Commission’s finding that the Club failed to act in utmost good faith. That decision, along with reducing the points deduction, was an incredibly important point of principle for the Club on appeal. The Club, therefore, feels vindicated in pursuing its appeal. Notwithstanding the Appeal Board’s decision, and the positive outcome, the Club remains fully committed to cooperating with the Premier League in respect of the ongoing proceedings brought for the accounting period ending in June 2023. The Club is still considering the wider implications of the decision and will make no further comment at this time other than to place on record its thanks to our Fan Advisory Board and other fan groups throughout this process, and to all Evertonians for their ongoing support and patience.

He continues to confirm my opinion of him.

Haven’t seen it but if it’s true that’s two goals in 2 games he’s been soft, not good enough, and I don’t think he ever will be.

Only managed to listen to the game, but once again we’re a bag of nerves, to not hold on to the lead was awful, why couldn’t t we have just played simple passes and retain the ball?

Brighton 1 Everton 2 DCL

Ok here’s my take so far from seeing every home game bar Spurs this season Beto, rough around the edges, not a like for like with DCL, needs to learn how to hold the ball up and bring others into play, can’t fault his enthusiasm. Chimitti, or Chermiti, not seen enough on him as expected, not sure why we paid the money on him when we have Dobbin and had Simms and Cannon, Cannon seemed the more likely to succeed. Young, bought as cover, not happy he’s played so much, hasn’t brought the experience he should have shown, if anything he’s like a headless chicken Harrison, my bright hope, blows hot and cold, I do like his pressing and energy, would like to see him replicate his first season with Leeds in the PL goal wise, his assists are OK Danjuma shows potential but doesn’t know how to be a team player, needs to get his head up and find others in better positions.

We do generally, and then on the rare occasion we snap out of the comatose style and speed up, we did so in the first half on Monday and created a great chance, why we don’t do it more often is my frustration.

I don’t understand why we’re not doing that more now, McNeil, Harrison, Myko, Garner, Patterson, Coleman can put decent balls in, not always of course, and I enjoy seeing that type of play.

Agree 100% he’s the grand master of being a little shit, but clearly a bit precious when it’s aimed at him. I know it’s wrong to troll, and I don’t, but there’s always going to be some dickheads who think it’s cool, players should be able to distance themselves from social media.

I can’t see the bench from where I sit, but that’s not the sign of a team player, and I agree he always seems more concerned at pimping himself up over putting in POM performances, which I don’t think he’s ever won on TT.

He is still our best option imo, none of the others have the ability to win and hold the ball up as he does, and we need to feed him better balls more often, his two missed chances show he will get on the end of a decent ball in.

It would have been nice if he had put a tackle in to prevent their goal. Generally he doesn’t do enough for me in all games, apart from waving his arms at the crowd.

Everton 3 Palace 0 DCL

I still want my actual bit of wood I plonk my arse on every game, time to email the club and ask how it can be sorted.

Of the highest order

I’ve got mixed feelings about him, he led the press really well yesterday, which for 71 minutes worked really well, City no shots on target at home. But he does lose the ball far to easily, and has an abundance of woeful passing and shooting, then will pop up with a sublime pass or shot that goes in. Will we buy him, at £20m yes I think we will.

Inevitable outcome I guess, disappointed we kept them get two, particularly after giving the ball away near their box. Will be interesting to see if it was a corner for the first. Hopefully no new injuries picked up and we can be at full strength for Palace next game.

I think we’ve done well so far, they’ve not had a shot on target, if we can keep our shape, adapt to the inevitable changes Pep will make, and be calmer in their half.

City 1 Everton 1 Tarks

Everton 2 Spurs 1 DCL

I thought he was out of contract in the summer, bloody well hope so, he can do whatever he wants elsewhere, I don’t want to see him in our colours again, shite attitude, shite player.

I see at a sarcasm from Dyche
