Is it nearly kick off time yet?

It's just gone 430pm in Brisbane!!! Don't know whether to stay up, have a sleep and get up at 130am or just sleep through it. Will be back in Liverpool for the 1st time since 2016 in just over 2 weeks.  Supposed to be celebrating my 50th with family. If the unthinkable happens, have told them I'm not coming, so need you guys who are going the match to make it happen. COYB

I am loving that she is British (born in Canada, father Romanian and mother Chinese) multiculturalism at its best

I have photos somewhere of my dad at Bebble Beach in the sixties, just out of interest I looked up what the green fees are today....$595 if you're a guest at the resort. Ouch.

Funny thing is he was total crap, I was beating him at fourteen

For me he's been at the centre of things, seeking the ball, distributing it out.  Not everything has come off, but he's been at the heart of everything good we've done.

He's also been very niggly. Given away a few fouls but letting there players know there in a game

Best Gomes has played in a long time.

While Gomes is criticised for something that doesn't even look like was an error on his part, I'll point out something I only just realised he definitely did do that was right in the game. In the build up to James' goal he brilliantly blocks off one of their players trying to get to Richarlison so that he has an easier time of it.

Got to love that shithousery.

Thought he was pretty decent myself. He was also moving into space most of the time wanting the ball. Unlike some of our midfielders last season who would move towards an opposition player so the ball wouldn't come to them

Jags must’ve said no at first as well because it looks like Seamus says “take it” with a bit of an angry head on  

In the tunnel before the match he did not acknowledge any United player. Had the fuck off don't talk to me face on. Great to see

Ok you’ve made the big statement. He could have made a difference. How? Wolves 1-0 up down to ten men. What would you have done? Bournemouth away tell me what u think he should have done? 

Will try and answer later.  Just got back from Japan and stayed up till 3:00am to watch us valiantly lose again. Peace out Brother

The man hasn’t had anywhere near his first team out and played two games away from home for half the match with ten men. How is he supposed to meaningfully impact those matches? It’s damage limitation to a point. At Wolves and Bournemouth we went on the offence but ultimately got caught. I really don’t get you 

Don't have to get me... I think that Silva could have made a difference in our games. He is still very inexperienced as a Manager.. I haven't given up on him but I still think that he could have done better

Its game 6, people need to give this team, and manager time.

For me he made the right call in most of the games, the Wolves game is a particular stand out, going down to 10 men and nearly getting the win.

We are a work in progress, this will take time to get right. We should be supporting the team through this, who I thought played well and were unlucky today.

BTW shouldn't it be "for us"?

I can still make the observation that I think Silva has not made the right decisions. Your last sentence is out of line. I have once made a similar inference on this site to a fellow Evertonian and I was wrong in doing thatIn all our games this season, Silva's game management has been absolute shite. I can't think of one time that anything he's done has made a difference. Either no subs or way too late

7 minutes ago, Finn balor said:

So he doesn’t make subs? Is that what your saying? So against West Ham he brought Bernard in after 40 minutes and took off Morgan. So what is your point? 

My point is that if you look at all our matches other than the WH game and maybe an other one, this is discounting subs for injury, he does not make meaningful subs. They are mostly after 70 minutes

5 minutes ago, Finn balor said:

West Ham. Remember that game? 2-0 down? Ring any bells?

Didn't we get beat 3-1 that game

6 minutes ago, Finn balor said:

What after the event? We can all be armchair quarter backs. How do you know a substitution against Southampton didn’t secure us the three points? We were bossing the game at 0-0 and we concede two in three minutes. One of them blatantly offside. What’s the man supposed to do? If at 0-0 we scored the opener would you have posted about non substitutions? No you wouldn’t. You just come on and post shite.

What's a quarterback? Never seen than that position in football. Your talking about what it's... this season Silvas game management has been shite. I wish that we could win every game but I don't think he has changed anything during any game. The signings that have been made are very positive but Silva just doesn't change anything during the match.

2 minutes ago, London Blue said:

Really, all his game management has been shit?

I have little respect for people who speak in absolutes.

I don't need your respect mate... I am making an observation on what I have seen from watching the marches this season. I dont expect us to always win but a manager needs to make changes if things aren't going right and if you look at all our losses, then you will see that Silva has either not done anything or been too late in any changes he has made. I still think he has a lot to learn as a manager and I hope for Evertons (supporters) that he does.

And there it is .....

And there what is? Tell me a meaningful sub he has made

How the hell did this Gobshite get made Captain ahead of Coleman? Fucking Unbelievable

I am surprised that given there are quite a few "grammar Nazis" on this site that noone has complained about the title of this thread

Hibbert and Gerrard are from there as well. 

And Peter Reid

damn the pendant :shaking fist: but did you include the cup game?

 

Principal still stands though; our best run for a while, you don't change a winning team!

Should that be Principle? :jump for joy:

 

Off the top of my banged head .

 

No 1 will always be Neil Young (though my wife calls it "music to commit suicide to").

 

My favourite "Bowie album" ever is Mott the Hoople's All the Young Dudes which he produced and played sax on, as well as writing the title track; although I think that's probably the weakest song on it. Ziggy Stardust not far behind admittedly.
