  1. I can think of a guy with those two qualities who might be available soon.
  2. I can't make a decision either but he has not been near the nuisance he was last year. My gut says he's improved but he's also playing in a better team and clearly benefits and should only be played with a pacey centerback next to him.
  3. I think he will kick on - would be ludicrous to sell him in January when DCL and Niasse are the alternative number 9s and Cenk has shown something here, if not consistently. Klaassen wasn't even getting into matchday squads..
  4. Still my favorite Everton manager we've had in my short time as a fan (January 2010). Hope Silva changes that.
  5. Terreira's tackle worse than what Jags got a red for... Just saying.
  6. 1-1. Everything from Roberto's first season just seemed rosier than it was.
  7. I love getting results against the big boys, and I'll point out that we can not capitulate against them like we did last year (pathetic) or be as cautious as Moyes was setting us up away from home.... But, the true key is going to be taking care of the dross home and away. Losing the past two was unacceptable (Huddy and WHU). I want to regain that ability to knock off the big boys, but I want more consistency across the board (refinding form away from home, beating weak teams)
  8. Championship though mate - completely different level. I would say he's one that I at least don't have to worry about fans wanting back (like Besic), but I could see him doing well and people being like "well, he's had time to get back in the flow since his injury... he deserves a shot!"
  9. We've shown a lot of energy and attacking intent despite having a lot of injuries and not being able to develop a settled back four, which is crucial for any good side! COYB
  10. He's done a good job in linking up play and we know he can finish, he just needs to get back in form. Let's not get hyperbolic on this one, I think Cenk is plenty good for this level.
  11. Disagree. Also, the whole "role model" argument is nonsense and hints at a greater problem, the lack of adequate parenting in society.
  12. Ah, an international break.... the time for all the old stories to come out so the journos have something to write about and us something to talk about it. Agree with this - we have no idea if any of its true or what exactly happened, and even if it did, I'd be happier if Dunc, Unsworth, and Morgan were all man enough to put it behind them - I'd be more concerned if they let one bustup or bit of drama ruin their working relationships...
  13. We should've sang "We've got a diamond in Denis Straquarlursi" back when he was around, though it would've been completely false Funny how we still talk about Straq but never say Saha or Bilyaletdinov or some of the others who here mildly longer. I guess it's better to be unforgetably average!
  14. Does he sing "Can't buy me Stones" in the shower?
  15. Can we please confirm that this died with a whimper?
  16. Rashford sent off rightfully given the Richarlison incident. Would've been infuriated if he was only given a yellow.
  17. Fair play and it would appear my suggestion has been voted down and that he's a much better footballer than Straq or Oumar (And Hibbo*). *Indicates acknowledgement as to Hibbo's defensive prowess but complete ineptitude in the attacking half.
  18. I actually almost put that caveat in. Agreed that he was a great 1 v 1 defender and a decent defensive rightback. Completely useless on the ball or going forward. Could we add Naismith to that list as well? Good workrate/positional sense that allowed him to come up with crucial goals, but really didn't show much technical ability at all?
  19. He's so image-conscious and thin-skinned it's sad. To be a football manager, you have to be able to take mountains of abuse, no matter how unfair you think criticism gets. Under mountains of pressure, Martinez was still polite and cordial here, Koeman still cool and collected. Allardyce? Combative and defensive. Sam expects to be treated like royalty, no matter where he goes. Better fit for tv than on the touchline.
  20. Wasn't Joe Yobo quite the character (Off the pitch - not his blunders on pitch). Seems like we've lacked some goofs in recent years.
  21. Club legend. He puts Hibbo and Straq to shame for how lovable yet bad he is.
  22. Achievable if we double our annual revenue as a club, assuming no growth in resources to the top 6 or big continental clubs. And that puts it at unlikely.
  23. Gigi Buffon would say you have a garbage bin for a heart Seriously, there are realistically two competitions we can win each year - The League Cup is one of them. I want to win a damn trophy for once and if it means finishing 8th instead of 7th, so friggin be it. The PL is so rigged in favor of the top teams these days, that every team that doesn't anticipate a relegation scrap should be going all out for both cups.
