    They had our pants down with Keane and then bringing in this lad for a fraction. Hopefully we can give them Keane back in any deal.

    Pretty sure you've just seen it as it was within those exchanges. 
    Point scoring? Go back and look who the little princess who started this was. Can't help yourself but constantly have digs. I shouldn't come down to your level but hey ho.

    I was mortified when you failed to act human when talking about addiction.

    Addressed the problem areas that we needed pace on the wing and an extra striker. His job isn't choosing which one. He also said we needed a centre mid (Walsh failed to bring one in) and a centre half (loaned one but he got injured straight away). Silva completely fucked the team by not getting Doucoure or a player of similar ilk and instead wasting the budget on Richarlison when we already had two left mids. The latter still hasn't been addressed unless you count Godfrey.
    You're a fraud if you think you know anything about football. Am absolute hypocrite. Cry about Tosun not playing then use him not being good enough to attack a former manager. Strange thing is that manager had him scoring goals. Surely you should be moaning about the others for not being good managers and getting the best out of him.
    You need therapy, projecting as always. I take responsibility when I'm wrong. I'm happy to be wrong as I've learnt something. You have serious issues, a brat who throws tantrums and tries to bully his opinions on others, ffs you were talking about addiction on here like there was only one way to go about it even though others said they handled it differently, you were a complete and utter shit show having a go at them. Genuinely feel sorry for anyone who has to put up with you in person.

    Walsh bought.
    If Alladyce was a fraud what does that make you? 
    Alladyce waited so fans like you wouldn't get on the players back. He took the grief rather than the player. That's good management. Alladyce also had him scoring goals. He had the player looking that well nearly every fan on here had him down to be our main striker over DCL the following season, you included.
    Given your phenomenally bad record I think just about every poster on here knows more about football than you, nevermind a manager who has about 20 years experience in the prem.

    People are acting like we're lucky to have him. We're a big club and should be aiming higher than a journey man who just wants to finally get a job closer to home. His biggest success was over 15 years ago and he's not lasted more than 2 seasons at any club other than Newcastle. 
    So far we're 2 points down than we should be thanks to him picking Keane. 
    We were lucky against Burnley. Could have easily been three down by half time.

    Seriously though - if Gana isn’t getting time at PSG we should be all over getting him back on loan.

    The point is that so many opinions are swayed by the current consensus. If you look again at messages posted around March, someone mentioned that a few members wanted James gone. Matt responded with disbelief and specifically asked who wants him gone? The answer at the time was "no-one". Looking at today's messages, though, you'd think everyone wanted him gone by December last year - but that's simply not true.
    So what happened? First, James needs a manager who encourages and inspires him. By January or February, Ancelotti had clearly lost interest in managing Everton, and that had the biggest impact on James. Second, James was injured, and we've had these discussions before: Some on these forums get frustrated and write players off for getting injured, but the truth is that it's a fact of life and not a player's fault. By the time James was ready to return, the managerial attitude was quite different - now one of apathy. Then Ancelotti was replaced by someone who has never gotten along with James, so dejection clearly kicked in. As a result, we are where we are.
    Things would be very different if our managers had behaved differently. They would probably be different if James was being cheered each week by passionate supporters. They would definitely be different if James had not suffered niggling injuries. What's frustrating to me, though, is how fans can so quickly and easily rewrite history and be carried by the latest current of opinion. If someone isn't beating expectations all the time - whether through their own fault or otherwise - they're written off. It's such a shame.

    Honestly, I thought 25 quotes would be enough, but you appear to have drawn a wrong conclusion from that. Let's continue...

    Given all the negative comments, maybe a little reminder would not go amiss...

    They wanted him. James asked them not to sign him.

    I think Villa were always the team who had the upper-hand but it certainly was still fairly even.
    The problem is that so was the Burnley game when we were only short of Dom. I would argue the same point in our other league games too. There have been just small moments (Soton defender switching off just after half time letting Richie in to score, the unnecessary pull on Dom for the penalty against Leeds especially when the same thing not being given against Doucoure against Burnley) that have changed games.
    We haven't been dominant for long spells in any games but we also haven't been up against it for too long either. Ironically the game we struggled the most was against Huddersfield!

    Still totally pulling a number out of their arse with zero factual evidence to back it up. Personally I don't think in a million years we'd agree to pay anyone £250k a week, not a cat in hell's chance. Not suggesting he's "only" on the £90k widely reported elsewhere, imo it's somewhere in the middle.

    Player being bullied out the club by a manager we should never appointed. 
    How many fans wanted rid of James before Benetiz was here and the media slagged him off?

    This .....  a player is happy to go and live in a country to earn ££££ with poor human rights, poor football league, and Thousands more miles away from his daughter?
    He has no professional pride whatsoever.  
    I defended him when he asked to be subbed in a game last year when I think it may have been @Palfy was livid.  He was right, that was the start of things in my book.  The game got a bit edgy and he didn't want to know at all. 
    Too many fans who indulge him don't realise the damage someone like him does to the squad.  Benitez got rid of a few this year, it looks like we are stuck with Delph, no one is touching him.  James needs to be playing to get his social media revenue which is ridiculous.  He just wasn't playing our fixture list - but his.

    I’ll be gutted if he goes with never playing in front of Goodison. What a shame it hasn’t worked for this season.

    Today is the last big step of the last 12 months. Just less than a year ago I was in A&E in Switzerland having collaped and cut my head. Since then I've left the country I love, relocated back to my old stomping ground with a new job (that's since been made permanent, that I'm loving and who appreciate me), finally got C's visa sorted and today we completed on our first house purchase. All whilst going teetotal on booze, sleeping medz and antidepressants. 
    What a difference 12 months makes.

    Hard to say mate. The corner is a very very difficult one to judge, I think that’s harsh. 3rd maybe but we should have never given him the chance to go through like that and he hit is with serious power. Huge save off Mings to keep it at 0-0 early doors, we had chances after that to take control of the game.
    Begovic wasn’t an issue in that loss for me.

    Thought so as well. Would have preferred to see him central with Gray out wide but he was okay.

    For me, Iwobi was one of the few bright spots. He hardly put a foot wrong in the first half but did fade in the second.

    It seems Benitez is determined to offload James no matter what. He's a stubborn man who plays favorites: always has been.

    Totally agree Palf.
    Once we have that leader at the back we will see more organisation, more fight, and more possession. 
    Funnily enough, Coleman is the only calm person on the ball at the back. Keane is weak mentally, Mina trips himself up, Holgate has a bit of a superstar syndrome, Digne just isn’t a good defender, and Godfrey is still raw.

    I'd say we need more of an experienced leader. Our centre halves get caught up the pitch too often, a more experienced player spots it and gets them back in position. If you're back four hold shape it makes it much harder to get through.
