Cisk

Agree, his movement and drive are something we do not have plus is a real threat from MF

Everton 2 - 1 Brentford Gray

Excitement building for today's game. 1st time back to the ground since pre-pandemic and can't wait to see ans join the atmosphere. Hope Frank can start well. Also attending Analfield tomorrow to cheers on my local Bluebirds!! Gonna be an epic weekend I feel!

Different time and place for them tho. It was for us at the time we approached him.

For us in the recent past: I'd say Fat Sam (guarantee for safety), Roberto (turned out as you'd expect) and Carlo. Current Prem managers: Conte, Tuchel, Gerrard, Klopp, Moyes, Pep, Rodgers. These are not rolls of the dice and are giving what you'd expect or more in terms of team output. We just seem to be clinging on with hope. Guess I'm just fed up of being here again, and likely again in 9mths time or being happy breaking into top 10 again. I'm not a glass half empty - just not feeling it with Lamps.

Think we all need to recalibrate here... how often have we been here and got giddy with the thoughts of the new man coming in and how hes perfect for us, and that on reflection a real asset. I don’t see it with Lampard based on his past achievements in management, his links to Chelsea or that he has no links to EFC. He is a gamble, a roll of the dice. I'm happy he’s been chosen from that shortlist (if the list was true) but just shows much of a let down and reality check the status our club is in with that being our shortlist of managers to appoint. We’re back to the Smith to Moyes era. Moyes worked out well and so certainly hope Frank will too (when confirmed), but it’s a roll of a dice time and Moyes could have balls it up too. Let’s hope Frank works out like Moyes. Another cross roads moment and these are happening all too frequently

Is it bad to feel not arsed about any of this currently?

I'll take that sadly - never get close on these

In fairness the squad have not been trained to react / play for cross's in past 2 seasons

Gotta make this momentum count

Good midfield battle here

Everton 0 - Villa 2 No goal scorer

Prob add Doucoure to that actually - can't believe I forgot him

Says it all.....!

Who are the Magnificent 10 Haf? Jordan, Godfrey, Mina, Gordon, Townsend, Richy, Gray, DCL...... Coleman, Gomes? Struggled on last 2
