im not saying anything this time. everytime i make a prediction, it seems the opposite happens....
-
I voted yes because I have no reason to call him a liar and I honestly do beleive he has done a decent job so far but knows as well as anybody that he cant take the club any further
If I was Kenwright I would be tempted to just leave the club in the shit and sell to the first cowboy who comes along given the way alot of ungrateful blues have treated him
im goin with this. i honestly believe he is trying and providing the terms are correct, he would step aside.
the bigger a question is: what the "best thing for everton" is in his eyes?
-
we also went on to draw 7 games in the second half of the season, some of which we shouldve won. its not really over until March. there is still time.
this made me happy, thank you!
-
that is quite literally fantastic....
-
No. It won't happen to us. Three reasons. 1) Wolves 2) Portsmouth 3) Bolton/West Ham. We may struggle but won't go down.
and Hull too....
yes, it could happen to us but no it wont...

ha, i didnt get to see the game last night. sounds like i was lucky...
-
i imagine he's just frustrated that its taking him so long to get back. now he is finally fit enough for training and playing, he has to wait until he is 100% match fit too. its been a long time and not getting service on the pitch again will be driving him around the bend. im not worried...
-
by then we should have Arteta and Jags back and reasonably match fit again, not to mention the others that should be back before then. i dont think it will be as bad as it looks....
-
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAMAAHHAHAHWHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! thats fantastic....

At the current moment in time there isn't much to choose between Fellaini and Cahill in terms of performance, both are playing way below a standard you would expect from a top flight midfielder, thing is Tim has done it in the past for us, Fellaini is yet to put together a string of performances. The novelty value is wearing off with Felliani for a lot of hs most staunch supporters, in the pedestrian way he patrolled the midfield on Saturday, is there much surprise? He will no longer be able to hide behind goals and team wins, cos we ain't getting either.
he was only pedestrian after he got booked, before that he was one of the harder workers. Tim has done it in the past, no doubt, but Screech has only been here just over a season and is young. he performances have been well below standard, but he doesnt deserve all the crap he gets, some but not all. 15 mill was a massive amount of money, but he is an investment, he will improve. To single him out is unfair.
This isnt aimed at you Hafnia, just a general response...

Maybe it'd be beneficial to do skill and ballwork in training rather than just working on running them into the ground.
you mean training them to be creative, attacking and exciting? you should know better than that mate...

Im going to say this here as i have no idea where else to put it. Does anyone else feel like we could have missed a little trick by missing out on Lorik Cana? ok he started slowly, but my god he would have been an ideal replacement for Carsley. Sunderland got him at a bargain price and he has an engine that has no limits, that guy is a machine and currently i feel that Everton are way too soft in the middle of the park. I wouldnt care too much against the big teams playing a 4-5-1 if there was someone in the middle, that the players can trust will keep big game players quiet. Cana did that against Aresnal, he stopped Fabregas playing (not many can say that). £5m for a quality player and someone who opitimises the 'Everton Way', was lost to a club with seemingly higher ambitions? Cana would have been a great addition and could have been the type of player to help ease our current slump by clearing up all the shite.
i agree with most of that, though i think Johnny could fill the void left by Carsley. The man is fearless and worked hard against Utd but needs better instruction as to what his position should be, playing along side Rodwell wont work for the same reason Cahill and Screech dont work next to each other, theyre too similar. 1 in front of the other would give us more strength in the centre and more clarity on where each player is playing!
-
i would like to see 442 aswell, though im not as confident that DM will. Seeings as that is pretty much dreamland, with the resources available, i may even think of 532 (just to try something new!):
.........howard
Neill Yobo Distin Baines
.......Heitinga
Cahill Rodwell
........Saha
Yak........Jo
Baines and Neill can push forward, Johnny holding the middle infront of the defence. Saha behind the front 2 because he is our only source of creativity at the moment would be a good outlet if he was dropped further back. Hull are hardly a dominant force in the centre of the pitch (or anywhere else on the pitch for that matter) so why not go all out and beat them into submission!
4-0, why not....
-
is this the same Jo??
look like he needs to get his dreads back! you know how superstitious these footballers are... i myself am not superstitious, it brings bad luck...

We've probably got just as many injuries as them, they have a bigger squad than us, so I'm not sure that's a huge help.Wont do any harm, them not being at full strenght, but I recon you will see most of those players you mentioned above playing some part, where as Most of our injured will be in the stand.
For me my money is on liverpool, huge squad, tactical manager, world class players and in a false position in the league....yep my money is on them and I hope I lose every penny
dude! tactical manager?! seriously? that berke will play Torres and Gerrard fit or not because hes an idiot. World class players, well most of them are injured so i think thats a moot point (unless i am right with the first point). their league position is a reflection of how theyre playing, ie shite. despite our dire performances we are only 5 points away from them, because theyre playing about the same as us at the moment. and that huge squad is full of nobodies, so again moot point...
normally i dread playing liverpool because we quite often get embaressed. but at the moment.... well, i dont fancy us but im more confident than usual. again, it depends if we get people back (Billy is back i think, hopefully Stevie P, Pip and Ossie too). I would like to see us play 442 aswell, Yak and Saha are both 20+ goals a season, IF they get the service. So yeah, more optimistic this time. Im with Reg...
-
honestly, there were a few people who impressed (well... more so than the others in that rather 1 sided game). Johnny played his heart out, Felli was giving a good go before his booking but died out afterwards, Saha was his normal busy self and the Yak looked good. thought we played much better in the 2nd half (stating the obvious but heyho...) with more to aim at up front, seemed more hungry too. Hope DM plays 442 again against Hull. if we play like we did in the second half against Hull, we should waltz through them.
anyway, vote is going too......... Johnny.
-
good blog that, i like McNulty, usually a good read.
Here's hoping Jack listens to support around him. I really hope he becomes our Steven Gerrard. Hes got the potential...
-
Not sure theres a place for Rodwell when Phil comes back, would rather play a more attack minded player upfield a bit, Cahill, Osman, or Fellaini.
Non have been setting the world on fire but i'm sure they would all prosper with a fully fit squad.
Rodders needs to to be brought along at a slower pace. IMO.
completely agree which is why i put a / between them (one or the other!). I still think Rodwell will get a fair few games though this season. Either way, its a midfield to be excited about!

I've heard Air Traffic, Shooting Star is an amazing track.
tis very good, but try empty space. makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end when the bass comes in. a good definition of epic...

OneRepublic - Waking Up (Album)
i saw them in Amsterdam last year, very good live. i wasnt that bothered until i heard them live. Check out Air Traffic (Empty Space is incredible, but needs to be played loud even though its a quiet track) if you like them, or the 747s...
im listening to the "no repeat guarentee" on the radio. why they dont apply it to the whole week i dont know, its no repeats in 6 hours. with all the music available, i should bloody well hope not! (i have to fly again today, so im a little more grumpy than usual...)

With our luck he'll probably fall over the history of Everton DVD and break his leg .
or slip a disc? (DVD... Disc... i'll get my coat...)

Shame he won't be touring South Africa.
it is, but look at it this way: its less chance of him getting injured over the summer!
