Brilliant game from Dobbin today, personally would have kept him on for the 90. 

In a competent club this would be a good move financially. It's a nice bit of money that we can reinvest. 

With this shower, I just think it'll be a bit more cash in their back pocket without much return on the pitch. Whether Gray stays or goes, we'll have the same business. 

Personally, I'd keep him around. He's a bright spark that was left hung out to dry playing out of position.

I already can't be arsed with the Luton game. It's got a 90th minute winner from them written all over it .

I thought it would take longer than two games for Mykolenko to be the latest in the long line of players becoming better by being on the bench. 

Silver lining is that he will probably do a job for us in the Championship.

Great game from JB, love how calm and collected he was throughout the 90. Reminded me a lot of John Stones when he was with us (which sadly then made me feel that Branthwaite will too move on in a few years).

I'm sure the board would love to ship him off to PSV too.

He did well when he came on, probably not ready to be a standalone striker so would work better with a strike partner (perhaps that will be Beto?). 

Bright spark in what is a swamp of shite. Poor lad doesn't know what he's in for.

1-0 down, on comes Keane and some fans in the Gwladys boo him onto the field. Proper weird behaviour.

Holgate should have left years ago. The only attribute in his locker was chewing gum and dossing about. He looked like a real prospect when he signed for us but as time went on the worse he became. 

Good business to get him out the door, can stink out Southampton's dressing room instead. 

I'd ideally like us to move on Keane too, but I think Dyche would rather chain himself to the gates of Finch Farm than let his best mate go.

I’m normally optimistic we will get a result in most games, just about to leave home on our way to the ground, and I’m not feeling that optimistic which is very frightening, hope I’m wrong!

Same, I missed the opener so I should be excited. Anything but at the moment!

Think Wolves are more than capable.

I'm beginning to think this lad doesn't even exist because we haven't even seen him in any training pictures/videos .

"Chermiti" is actually unicorn in Portuguese.

TalkSPORT yesterday having chats about the fans turning on Dyche, and asking bookies where he is in the betting to be sacked first. 
Clickbait for my ears. 

To be fair Twitter (I know it's full of idiots) has been turning on Dyche already. I think with how bad we are, sacking him is probably closer than any sane person would think.

Apparently the deal with 777 will be announced soon.

Things are about to get even worse, aren't they?

Ironic as 777 is the points deduction we'll likely be facing.

And we found out we missed out on Kane I didn’t like the fact that he couldn’t understand the correlation between last season and the beginning of this season, of course we are concerned that we have started how we finished. Yes he right 2 games don’t make a season but had those 2 games to his last 18-20 and we are still shite that’s what fans are concerned about  not that we are 2 games into the season. 

Two goals don't make a season, but a 100% defeat record also doesn't make light reading. 

I wouldn't mind, but the second game was an absolute bloodbath.

More arsed about a meaningful protest than the game tbh, and it's only Gameweek 3. 

Anyone other than Seamus Coleman, Leon Osman and the old lady that sells programmes in the Top Balcony can fuck off.

I hope all the fans that were down on the protests are happy right now. They're getting what they deserve.

By that I don't mean the fans that simply didn't want to get involved in protesting, I mean the ones that actively ridiculed the fans that could see what was happening and decided to do something about it.

I've never understood how people can ridicule fans for wanting a better Everton. If actually baffles me.

Said before and I'll say it again. Relegation doesn't bother me one bit, what does is that the club I grew up loving is dying and it's getting closer and closer to turning the machine off.

To be fair, when a player hands in a transfer request, a club should sell so long as the offer is acceptable.

At the point of a request, you're holding an emplpyee against his will...and, to be fair, players should do this straight away rather than refuse to play etc.

Nonsense.

Gnonto shouldn't have signed such a long term deal if he had no intention of seeing it through.

If we get Adams in, that would give Dyche some different options as well.

Between injured, a bit shit and not a footballer you mean?

No morals from United, whispers are very loudly saying that they were going to bring him back. Such a weirdly worded statement too. 

I'd bet big money that he goes to Saudi. 

John McGinn is quality.

Sean Dyche, Frank Lampard.

Spot the difference.

We are hilariously bad.

Don't worry lads, Moshiri said we'll get a striker.

It is a penalty, don't get me wrong but how is that different to Onana last week against Wolves? Officiating is absolutely wank in this country.

2-0.
