My concern is the lack of game plan and determination to win games, take the last 4 games, Brentford woeful performance, failed to shout for a penalty when Rondon was hauled to the ground, Liverpool ran rings around us as expected, woeful defending, Arsenal last gasp winner driven on by the crown, Palace played rings around us also, but a 2-1 I really thought we were going to go on and win, lack of composure in front of goal, and then a total brain fart by our captain gifted them their third killing off all hope. It’s just not the sort of performances I would have anticipated from a manager with so much experience, Silva or Martinez maybe as they found their feet. We all know that we won’t win every game ( even so I can never bring myself to predict a loss ! ) but we should have taken points from Brentford, Palace, Watford, Villa and Wolves. However I don’t think we should underestimate how much not having DCL playing has affected us, without him we’ve effectively been playing without a dominant striker, Rondon has clearly been lacking match fitness ( his failing, he should have been ready to play sooner) and Richy doesn’t offer the same skills as DCL when we hoof the ball up, which we do a lot. Bit of a ramble but that’s how it’s come out of my head.

No he won’t, but that statement shows how we’re all felling at the moment, not really good enough for us, or able to put a run together without injury interruptions, but as soon as we sell he will come good

We should, but we’ve missed the boat, he will go to a better club than we are atm, we should have got him in the summer, he won’t want to come here while we’re in this mess.

The lack of a game plan is my main concern, we made Palace look like Barca yesterday, they played through us so easily, our response was to lump the ball up to Richy, who isn’t that type of forward, if I can see that why can’t a manager with so much experience? Maybe when people said Rafa had lost the skill to manage in the PL they were right.

Godfrey, showed how to put a tackle in, shame the rest didn’t follow suit.

45 mins in and I can’t see what our game plan is, after Monday we should be buzzing, we look as if we’re in 1st gear all the time. Really wish we didn’t allow flails from mistake so much.

Well thanks to you is all OK

I stayed in my seat as I didn’t agree with the walkout, I have no beef with those that did, but I do with anyone who thinks they can berate me for making my own decision.

I enjoyed that ! His second goal was very cooly taken, shame it was scratched off. Easy to see why Arsenal were linked with him, albeit lazy journalism once again.

Masquerading as a Mersey Ferry?

That’s exactly what I saw in top balcony, apart from the many leaving bit, but there’s only 6 rows ahead of me ( and one feckin pillar )

No no and no, too old, too injury prone, unless he’s free and on a pay as you play contract.

Hopefully that’s a theory from the man on the moon, who passed it on to John Lennon and Elvis. If not it had better be for a shitload of money that we can use straight away.

Great to see him so happy, and how many who admit to not being great at school can speak a second language. Fantastic performance last night from him.

that’s a very good point, and I agree.

On his day he’s our best defender, but he can also resemble Bambi on skis at times. His injury record is poor, we need a central defender who can dominate games, give confidence to the rest of the team, and play the majority of the season, Mina will never do this IMO, if we can get an offer I’d take it.

More noise was made by those who stayed, which for me was the right thing, getting behind the players when they are on the pitch.

Richy, kept running and running, didn’t let his head drop after having 2 chalked off and hit us back in to the games. Good games from Godfrey, Keane, Gray, Gomes once he earned up and date I say it Holgate.

Well that was a night to remember after the run of disappointment. Really didn’t think we would pull it back after the decisions going against us. Goodison was rocking, so glad the crowd were behind the players most of the time. Arsenal we’re a fucking horrible bunch of who gets and time wasters,. Hopefully this is a corner turned and well put some decent performances in and get the results

Everton 2 Arsenal 0 richarlison

Many West Ham fans wanted him out early last season, they didn’t, if he had come back we would have sacked him no doubt, so it’s academic

I for one will NOT be doing that, I support EFC

Spot on, there’s many pictures of Anthony Gordon at the end of the last two games looking devastated by the crowds anger, the derby game there’s one idiot who ran on the pitch face to face with him. That’s the last thing a young player needs.
