Morgan Schneiderlin
JimmytheJimster replied to duncanmckenzieismagic's topic in General Football and Sport Discussion
Champions league football, he wants to concentrate on getting in our first team and making us a champions league team before anything else, considering we pay his hefty wages -
I loved going the first game of the season be it home or away, meeting up with mates you only see at the match. It's tarnished a bit now as I can't get to as many games, but I always remember Walter Smith's first game walking up to the ground and a steward saying to me "cheer up mate it can't be as bad as last season" with me replying "that's what I'm worried about" sure enough the game and the season was nothing to write home about, other then the Duncan Ferguson debacle. I think that is the only time I've never felt optimistic for the first game, although we'd spent a bit of money getting some good players and had a new manager, something just didn't feel right.

I think we'll either get a RB or a CB not both, and Holgate will be the back up to the one we don't get. It will be a make or break season for Holgate, if he fails it could and should be his last season here.

We lacked a plan b last season especially against teams that sat back against us, hopefully with the signing of Delph and fingers crossed a few others we will have a few more options and be able to play different formations against certain teams.

Don't think we'll be getting rid of Niasse anytime soon, he'll be quite happy been sent out on loan and still pick up his hefty wages

Dominic Calvert-Lewin
JimmytheJimster replied to duncanmckenzieismagic's topic in General Everton Discussion
Yeah I'd go with something like that, it would give us a plan B and we wouldn't be so predictable. I also wouldn't mind getting Costa if the price was right (10-15 mill) at least he'd gives us that aggression and could teach DCL a thing or two. -
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
JimmytheJimster replied to duncanmckenzieismagic's topic in General Everton Discussion
We ain't going to get a proven striker without champions league football, so do we take a risk on DCL or risk spending millions on an unproven striker for it not to work? -
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
JimmytheJimster replied to duncanmckenzieismagic's topic in General Everton Discussion
What we as a club are missing is a player that can score a goal out of nothing, and change a draw into a win. If DCL can do that then great, he'll save us a load of money. I personally would like to give him a full season as are main striker to see if he can do it, but I wouldn't be happy going into the new season with just one striker because we have no one else good enough. -
Michael Keane
JimmytheJimster replied to duncanmckenzieismagic's topic in General Everton Discussion
We just need to get a settled defensive partnership, for me it should be Keane with either Holgate or Mori (when fit), and let Keane be the leader back there as he was at Burnley. -
Goodbye To The Gravy Guzzler
JimmytheJimster replied to Paddock's topic in General Football and Sport Discussion
Apparently it's the strikers fault for not scoring goals, can't remember there been any chance for them to score. It's ok tho because the rest of the team played well. What a nob -
Longest Thread! for Everton Discussion
JimmytheJimster replied to Zoo's topic in General Everton Discussion
Yeah, we need to get the nucleus of the squad right and get back the team mentality we had under Moyes. -

Problem is the top 4 if not the top 6 have £250m more talent in there squads, before they send £200m on 2/3 players in the summer. -
Watford (Away) Saturday February 24th
JimmytheJimster replied to markjazzbassist's topic in Match Days
Hopefully the same team barring injuries, but highly doubt it. Fat Sam will probably play 5 at the back and Gana and Morgan together in midfield. -
Man of the Match v Crystal Palace
JimmytheJimster replied to MikeO's topic in General Everton Discussion
Voted for Tom Davies, his last 2 and a half games, he's showed the energy and drive we've been missing. Should never of been drop for the Arsenal game. -
Luke Garbutt
JimmytheJimster replied to duncanmckenzieismagic's topic in General Football and Sport Discussion
The thing holding Luke back is, if he plays we'd have 3 young and inexperienced defenders in are back 4. I'd throw him in tho, because Coco's not even a player, we'd be better with 10 men. -
Goodbye To The Gravy Guzzler
JimmytheJimster replied to Paddock's topic in General Football and Sport Discussion
I can see us coming to some kind of arrangement with Silva, that he doesn't take another job and he comes here in the summer. I would say this tho, is he the best manager we could get, his record is not the best. -
Favorite game of the past decade
JimmytheJimster replied to AlbanyNYToffee's topic in General Everton Discussion
With you on that, also helped stop Utd winning the league (I think) -
Alfie Mawson
JimmytheJimster replied to duncanmckenzieismagic's topic in General Football and Sport Discussion
Don't think we need any CB's just yet. Swansea won't want to sell him so will be a way to high price. Wait until the summer and get him for a more realistic price when Swansea are in the championship. -
Gylfi Sigurðsson
JimmytheJimster replied to duncanmckenzieismagic's topic in General Football and Sport Discussion
Looks so much better centrally, put pace on the wings and a quick forward passer in midfield, and he'll be great. -
Cenk Tosun
JimmytheJimster replied to duncanmckenzieismagic's topic in General Football and Sport Discussion
Made up with this, god knows we need him. -
Man of the Match at Liverpool (Cup)
JimmytheJimster replied to MikeO's topic in General Everton Discussion
Jags for me, although Kenny had another good game. -
January Transfer Window
JimmytheJimster replied to markjazzbassist's topic in General Everton Discussion
Think there working on Klaassen to make him not so easy to knock of the ball, just like Tottenham did with Modric. I can see him getting game time soon. could have done with getting an easier draw in the fa cup, to play are fringe players. -
Goodbye To The Gravy Guzzler
JimmytheJimster replied to Paddock's topic in General Football and Sport Discussion
With you on this one, let's see after January. The reason he plays so defensive maybe because we have no creativity or goals. How many of us hoped to win one game under Koeman, let alone go on a unbeaten run. -
86 was my first season going the games and going to Wembley was special although we got beat. Enjoyed the dogs of war in 94-95. Favourite year tho is 87 watching that team was a joy, that's why I've gone with 2013-14 the football was great.

Yeah that's what made him so good, take that out of his game and you've got a completely different player. It might make him a better reader of the game and not be defensively out of position so much.
