Maybe if Swansea get relegated we get Sigurdsson cheaper too.

Wow what a surprise. Hope he's okay thoughts go out to him.

Don't think he looks that quick. Lookman looks like a class player.

Boo. That's too civilised for this thread ?

My guess is not too great. Hopefully next season we can add a player or two who can chip in from midfield on a consistent basis. Look at players like Ali, Eriksn, sigurdson, pedro etc, we need someone whose not afraid to have a shot! On that note my first choice would be sigurdson, I know he didn't live up to expectations at Spurs but he's been class the past 2 or 3 seasons at Swansea.

Or maybe he left the other 6 years out because he's the first to do it in 16 years.

I didnt expect us to win every game, just look as if we believed we could have done. Which we didn't. I'm happy with 7th but I'd have been happier finishing 7th actually trying to get to 6th.

At least we can agree that we need a new man come summer in between the sticks eh Shukes. Which is all that really matters. I'll cry if we don't sign a number 1.

Losing 3-0 at home to anyone shouldn't be praised. Not good enough and we need to improve.

The question you should ask is who would we miss more than Ross. My answer is quite a few.

Lookman can at least create something out of nothing and beat a man.

Nothing to do with his attitude. Great gesture and shouldn't be compared with his current contract situation, good or bad.

Exactly where his underlying talent lies haf, for a teenager he's very very clever. He should become a vital part of our next few seasons aiming for CL and if we can achieve that he could be an everton great in years to come. A box to box we've been crying out for.

I'm not sure about that Shukes I think Joel is the better shot stopper. He's 100% the better of the two in my opinion and although he's not the man for us I think if he goes to a mid level club and gets a full season or two he will be held in high regards.

I recall him playing out wide several times pre-Koeman and he was aweful, this season he's found his best form there. Needs to adapt better and find better consistency and decision making. Consistency and decision making are what makes a great player world class.

We could have been. If we'd have played for it and put pressure on Arsenal we only needed to be within 3 points of them for the final day. We've dropped form this past 4 or 5 weeks and given ourselves no chance.

Good point, theres nothing to lose. Would like to see a few, Dowell, Kenny, Sambou, heck throw in the u23 keeper too, no idea of his name or quality but he can't do much worse than our current two.

Can see us finishing the season on a low after these past couple of games. Probably a draw, maybe a loss. The players have nothing left to play for and generally won't be interested.

Yep. The basics are fuck all to do with how we set up to play.

What did Robles do wrong to get dropped?

Went for Davies. Williams, Holgate, Baines, Gana all done alright. Barkley can't pass a ball to anyone in his team despite being a professional footballer. Need a number 10 who can provide splitting passes through a defence, Ross has never been able to do that well, and never will. We missed Morgan today. Wouldn't lose sleep if Steklenberg and DCL didn't put on an everton shirt ever again.

Mirallas should have started. Only Rom as a forward has more quality in our whole squad.

Better than Barkley in the sense that he can actually time a through ball successfully. Also works harder.

Steklenberg. Not good enough. Koeman, not signing a keeper in the last 2 windows, not good enough.
