    FairWooney got a reaction from Heath in Richarlison   
    I do feel like his passion for the club would be wasted at a club like Real Madrid or other teams where he's just another player in the squad.
    I can fully understand us selling if we get the right price though especially if he does express that he'd like to move for the chance of more success.

    FairWooney got a reaction from Heath in Arsenal (Away) 22nd May   
    for the first time in a long time there is no pressure or need to do anything here.
    Hopefully the team relax and enjoy the game and go out with a decent performance.
    I don't have any great expectations and after getting the win last night I'm really not that bothered either!
    Frank has said he will take the game seriously but change a few players.
    Players I'd think might get a go would be Tom Davis and Ben Godfrey, maybe Kenny in place of Coleman.  Could give Branthwaite a game but I wouldn't bring both him and Godfrey in.
                            Pickford
    Kenny        Godfrey   Keane      Mykolenko
                Iwobi         Allan      Dele
    Gray                 DCL              Richarlison
    Dele needs to get given a start after his performance in the last game, and with Iwobi and Dele in I'd rather have Allan working the defensive side than Doucoure who gave the ball away a lot against Palace.
     Final day of the season throws up some weird results some times, Arsenal desperately need to win whilst we not only have a terrible away record but nothing to play for.
    With that I'll say that we'll win 2-1
    DCL and Richarlison
    Glad to be done with this season!

    Yes Iwobi going into the middle was an obvious change but an important one to make and he was able to get more involved.  I'd like to hope we don't have to see Iwobi playing wing back next season!
    A lot of jibe's on Twitter of Lampard's "great job taking Everton from 16th to 16th since coming in".  what they miss is that we were a sinking ship, players low on confidence, a lack of fight and spirit from the players and the same from the fans who were watching Rafa's team resigned to a poor display and a likely loss, filing out quietly after another defeat.  Frank both through his attitude and what he got out of the players helped to get that fire back in the fans and really lift the spirit of the club as a whole.
    I hope that he gets backed to help us progress and whilst we may not have a lot to spend, even if we make a big sale or two he needs to be backed by the club in every way they can and by the fans who all too often help to force a manager out.  You can see the passion he has for his job and that whilst he makes mistakes he learns from them quickly and with the support of the staff he has around him I think he can keep improving and improve Everton.

    People on the outside really don't get it and probably still think that other fuck was doing a good job and should've been given longer. What was it, 1 win in 14 or something? How on earth is that a manager doing a good job? If we'd given him longer then we'd have been gone. It was almost too late as it was! That might seem an extreme view because we were outside the relegation zone and had a bit of daylight between us and the bottom 3, but we were in absolute freefall. We looked disorganised, confused, we were shipping goals, didn't look like we had a clue how to attack and were relying on a few pieces of individual brilliance to get anything from games... Then you add in how divided the fanbase was during all of it and it was a recipe for disaster. I think we'd have finished in the bottom 2 and been nowhere even having a chance of staying up with 2 games to go.
    Frank Lampard made Everton Everton again. Those that don't understand don't matter. The other one might've known the city but Lampard knows the club and that'll more than do for me.
    And, Newty, cheers for calling me a legend. It's much appreciated .

    Tough one, based on that second half everyone worked so hard, ran themselves into the ground and actually played some good football.
    My main mentions would be Iwobi, was everywhere, always showing for the ball, looking to drive forward, play it and keep going and never stopped.  Richarlison, just gives everything every game but some great work to create a few chances that didn't come off.  Loved his solo celebration after DCL's goal!
    In the defence I thought Keane and Holgate both had superb games, Keane with a cracking finish and both defended brilliantly against good attackers.  10 clearences between them.
    DCL was immense, I know someone said he "huffed and puffed" but we played a lot of direct aerial stuff and he won 15 headers in that game, that's massive!  We really need to make sure we get someone backing up those to get someone on it after he wins it but we have seen his value in the last 2 games with someone to aim at up front.  The early chance against Brentford was the perfect example of how effective he can be when winning the ball when he won the ball which Gordon got on to and combined with Richarlison to come close.  Brilliant header for the goal too.  Shouts to Gray for being the only player in the team capable of a decent cross!
    My man of the match goes to Dele though, he's been knocked a lot and clearly hasn't been fit enough or up for the fight enough to make Frank think he should be getting game time but he put in a real shift when he came on, was calm on the ball, playing it round well, winning fouls and really making things happen when he had the ball.

    Lampard’s most game changing decision was to bring Iwobi into the heart of the midfield form his wingback position, as soon as that happened the game changed.

    Allan seems to have lost favour with Lampard but I'd like to see him back.  I'd have brought him on yesterday for Gomez to help sure things up in the middle as he would have done a better job winning things back and getting around their midfield.
    The main danger we saw from Palace in the cup was their tricky attacking players particularly Eze and Zaha along with Gallagher.  We need to ensure we have the right cover on them.
                                       Pickford
    Coleman           Keane          Holgate          Mykolenko
                       Allan         Iwobi     Doucoure
          Gray                  DCL                Richarlison
    Gordon was looking a bit tired as the game went on yesterday, he did provide some good stuff early on but I think a break with him there to come on off the bench when required would be best.  Gray also provides better set pieces than Gordon (doesn't take much).
    Fingers crossed Keane is well.
    Allan needs to get over that side to support Coleman against Eze.

    I think we went to defensive in the 2nd half to look after our points which actually didn't really help us as it invited them to attack our box too often.
    I got the not wanting to press too much and burn players out but we did need to put them under some pressure rather than letting them control play.  Allan on for Gomes may have helped this as he's someone that will get about and pressure players around the midfield area.

    Probably Iwobi.
    Richarlison worked his socks off as usual, did some great stuff but a bit of poor defending on the corner also cost us a goal.
    Gordon for their 3rd by the way, was ambling around like a sulking child, a bit of tiredness along with the emotion of the goal we conceded a minute earlier but really costly lazyness that let them have a free header.

    It’s not just about refereeing decisions that have on balance cost us over the season.
    The main issue is that we are terrible. Terribly run, terrible judgements and decisions, terrible signings, terrible on and off the field, terrible errors, terrible attitudes. 
    The most recent symptom of that was yesterday. At 2-1 up even with 10 men we should have set ourselves up to get at least a point.
    If we go down it will be because we have been terrible, with poor refs a contributing factor.

    Gordon           DCL            Richarlison       
    As with Romey, can't be arsed to discuss thoughts on DCL apart from that he seemed fairly lively when he came on and I think that while Richarilson has been playing great I don't think he provides us that focus in the box as he gets too involved elsewhere.  I want to see DCL doing what Carlo got him doing which was getting into good spaces in the box as well as some good hold up play around the middle.
