Koeman was only ever going to be there for a season at most. He'll have known that going in (if he didn't then he's an idiot!).

He most definitely IS an idiot! Once sacked their he'll end up back managing a mid table team in NL, which to be fair IS his level of MMent, the ARRAGONT-LUL!

Does anyone else get the Game of Thrones theme start in their head when reading his name?

lol but his name sounds even more like Xerxes from '300 - the rise of an empire'. He even looks like him as well: 

 

This would be an awesome goal celebration to be fair!

As a centre forward he looks just like a DCL type of player = AWESOME IN THE BOX!!!   

When all is said n done this weekend. We are STILL top of the league. Thank you and goodnight. Onward & upwards my fellow blue boys & girls!!! 

PS - I think that seafoam green and charcoal kit, will be consigned to the fcukin bin for the foreseeable after today's "performance", sheeesh!

Sorry I know we want to back up our player but that still really doesn't show what happened does it.  Pickford was not malicious in his intent but he lunged with both feet up and out towards the player and ball.

Van Dyke  was only heading in the direction of the ball, a ball that did not have another player near it at the time!

Pickford has put himself in the wrong position and in his head had to make that lunge and spread himself, he shouldn't have done it and that's that.  The media need to move on, he needs to move on and learn from that and the other mistakes he's been making recently and if he doesn't then he needs to find a comfy chair on the side lines and see what the Norwegian has to offer.

The issue though is not so much what happened on the pitch, anyone who understands football, understands that non malicious tackles / challenges happen every day and can result in career changing injuries as a result, it's a part of the game, unfortunately. Us Evertonians know, we've had our fair share, Gomes, Colman, Oviedo, Felliani (& this were only in recent times) the list goes on and on. Its the unfair treatment and as I mention the defamatory comments that are STILL being fired at us via the media, via washed up, idiotic ex-footie playing pundits like Merson and Souness.

Personally, I think we are at a juncture we're Everton as a club should come out and say enough is enough here, watch what you are saying in the press because we do have a legal team.

We all know he is a total w@nker but enough this is enough now!? This BS statement was made last night, LIVE on a prime time sports network and IS therefore libellous defamation, as it meets this criteria 'defamation is said to have occurred simply when a statement is made that lowers somebody’s opinion of your business or damages it as a result of hearing it'. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH MAN!!!
 

Great point made here in exactly the same vain here by the Villa supporters from something that happened 9 months ago: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-fans-say-same-19129561 I literally didn't even know this had happened and that's the point right? Absolutely h8 the press and their adoration, total biased view of the dark red side.

I will say I wish VVD a speedy recovery and that this is NOT me slagging off the LFC players (although I could), it's more about the pundits and the TV and the press in general absolutely loving to beast the arse that is this red cabbage.

Sergio Romero & Paulo Gazzaniga being considered as Pickford competition

It feels like neither Man Ushitehead or Tott&him wanted to do business with us because they now see us as a different proposition this season, hmmm.
A back handed compliment if there ever was one. Highlight's how the tide may slowly be shifting

Just putting this out there for those that want a striker, Mario Mandzukic is a free agent after terminating his contract in Qatar. 

Good shout, he'd be a great substitute for DCL, if and when he's not firing on all Cs

I hoping that he’s dropped from the England #1 Jersey as a wake up call 

Harsh dude... Let's not forget he's still our goalie / player. I seriously hope we do not not start getting too far ahead of ourselves here of the back of a few wins etc. I remember watching / reading Man Shiteh supporters turning from perennial no hopers to Arab owned - we can buy the world wankers back in the day, I really hope I never see that shift in mindset from our supporters. YES Pickford looks crap at times and has / is costing us points sometimes and yes Professor Ancelotti has got someone else in to hopefully put a rocket up his arse BUT  lets remember who we are (the peoples club) and were we are (mental health aware). I know you're not slagging him off specifically here Matt but I've seen some pretty nasty comments about JP over the last few days from some blue keyboard warriors, and I just want to say lets remember we're only ever talking about football & footballers here right, nothing actually that serious (pandemic anyone).

If I can give you context for what I'm talking about let's just take a moment to remember the 1 and only, Gary Speed may he rest in peace! Just Saying...

The way they played today, they'd finish third behind Tranmere.

I think Marine F.C. would have given them a good go yesterday as well.

whatever barkley was / is or isnt. He's smashing the shite apart for us 2nt, as I type,WTF 7-2??

PLUS, we now go into the derby top of the league with the ONLY unbeaten run.

I was surprised at how much Dutch I still understand

Can someone clear something up for me please, because the Dutch commentator didn't really say... but was that goal by Denis Bergkamp?

When it comes to our defense I'd rather pace and athleticism than experience. Keane seems to be the mature head this season he's really stepped up his game. Paired with someone who is capable of covering him with blistering pace means we can push higher up the pitch. The last thing we need right now is another Williams. As for Godfrey I'm not so sure about him, I can't recall seeing him play much or standing out when we have played against him. There seems to be a shortage of decent centre halves at the minute so if he turns good this could be a real shrewd signing. 

This

I'd also much prefer someone young, like Holgate will benefit from the likes of Keane & even Holgates recent experience, who's fast as fcuk. Speed in our league is priority, T.Silva doesn't look all that IMO, he's 36. I defo fancy Richys chances against him that's for sure. Gimme a young, talented CB, not sure its Godfrey, but I like the idea of him. But we can't trust those bloody YouTube clips they made Ranirez look good 4FS, I'd probably be able to compile a decent 30 seconds of myself. Eeeerm maybe not lol. 

WOWzers a very interesting and fair article on a RS site here: https://www.rousingthekop.com/2020/10/01/liverpool-fans-may-have-to-accept-everton-could-be-transforming begrudging respect paid to Professor Ancelotti and what he is trying to do here on the blue side of Merseyside, but as said it reads nicely IMO. I also remember the MERSEYSIDE, MERSEYSIDE, MERSEYSIDE chanting Final and it would amazing to get anywhere remotely close to those times again, as long as Liverpoo always finish second.

Thanks for posting these highlights. The first goal was simply exquisite.

Starting with Keane's control & swivel then the perfectly weight chipped ball over which DCL had the skill to pull it down and control it with his left, then dinking it in with his right - school of science methinks = beautiful!

Also Richarlson's offside goal was just WOW, that ball from our Columbian magician was just breath taking, and it's not the first time he's done and it won't be the last. good times back at the old lady, God know s we've waited long enough! COYB!

Because he’s only one of 11 players on the field of that side?
 

Also, it’s not like we haven’t found a bit of quality from relegated teams recently either. McCarthy, Gana and (hopefully) Doucoure all spring to mind. 

Maybe not from a relegated team but - TINY TIM THE BLUE KANGAROO. As if anyone could have ever predicted how good he would be coming from Millwall. If Godfrey was half Tims quality (but in defence) we'd be onto a winner

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54352181 oh deary me Ross. I'm not disrespecting Villa they are a decent team under Smith but oh how the braindead have fallen.
quotes when he left:

“I am obsessed with improving. I want to get to a level where I am regarded as one of the best"
“I am ambitious and I want to win trophies" 
”I want to be regarded as a world-class midfielder. At the moment I have a lot of potential and a lot of world-class attributes"

oooooooooooooooooooook Ross, good luck with all that yeah!

In light of 3 starts & 3 defeats for Fulham and a tweet by Fulham's vice-chairman (Tony Khan) last night "I promise players in and better efforts from this squad", I can only hope Brands is on the case and is offering them all of our (ridiculously paid) dead wood, not marketed like that but you get to my drift.

I don't believe we will get rid of even half of this list (in this window) BUT I would be very happy getting rid of any of them but realistically think it would be more like any from Walcott down on my list. I'd then quickly reinvest saved wages &/or transfer fees to purchase a decent CB or winger - quickly. I can but live in hope.

Sigurdsson - The Crab
Davies -  I really want him to succeed love seeing scousers in our squad but...
Delph - sick note
Walcott - impotent, on the pitch anyway
Tosun - injured I know
Ramirez - El Fantasma
Besic - The bruiser
Bolasie - seems to be a lovely guy but from a footie perspective words fail me

What did you love? Did you add up all the errors and see which keeper has made the most errors over 3 seasons?  Or 2 seasons if you want.... Either way no goalkeeper has made more errors than Pickford.....

Not sure how you interpreted it   

No keeper has conceded more goals from outside the box in 3 seasons either.

 

 

My son does play in goal for the U12 and honestly, I would've had a go at him for not stopping that, in fairness I actually think he would've.

In fact he's looking for a new club, anyone got Marcels number?
