Shukes

You don't need a world class forward to compete though do you.

You need someone who can put the ball in the back of the net and a team that will create chances.

Are Vardy and Kane world class?

 

go for it, feel free to pay for a few months of ToffeeTalk if you win.

About time I payed in anycase to be fair.

If I haven't paid a tenner on Friday please remind me.

 

I don't think it's strange he's so sure at all. We've got a fair few who are simply out of contract, and Howard is already confirmed to be going.

Ye now someone's posted the numbers it does make more sense.

Damn, hoping there was a story there.

Top four next season.

I can feel it.

I am going to put a bet on now.

I did notice that. Wasn't sure if it was because he wasn't taking the pen or whether he didn't care. I'm assuming the former point, because he worked his ass off in that game

Ye me to.

He does have an ego and I bet he would have had a little smirk if Baines missed.

We're all only human after all.

....Unless your an Everton fan.

No it wasn't just you.

He seemed a bit disappointed as he missed the last one.

Strange for him to he so sure.

Maybe it's not just the manager but a few players that are disrupting things too.

We need a fresh start.

I wouldn't mind a complete overhaul.

Sounds like Moshiri has come in and reined on wasted time.

Probably moved further forward more in three months than we have in three years.

Going to be an interesting next twelve months.

The manager is more about buying players and working on the set up.

The coaches are a lot more important these days. Get those right and the manager can use his influence to buy players and out his stamp on the style.

But any manager will fail with the wrong team behind them.

De Boer is a decent name you would think and could maybe influence some top players to come our way.

Martinez's head must really be hanging low of he's keeping up with this match right now.

Na, he will be smiling. He was an honest bloke and always tried his best.

He just wasn't good enough.

Gonna volunteer myself for the vault already. If Mirralas can play this freely consistently then we are going to feel like we have a new player.

Still in his prime too

Lukaku a different player today.

Davies looks amazing. Confident lad

Been looking forward to seeing him. He sou ds a classy player. Looking good so far.

Howard, Baines, Stones, Jagielka ©, Pennington, Barry, McCarthy, Davies, Mirallas, Lukaku, Dowell

 

 

Joel, Lennon, Cleverley, Barkley, Osman, Connolly, Kenny.

I am liking that.

Few young lads in there and I have been waiting to see Davies.

Just had another look...don't think thier looking at Roms feet....

Haha look at Roms tiny stiffy!

That's funny, there all looking at Roms feet and laughing.....Haf was right, you do have two left feet!

Right I'm ready to start taking this more seriously and climb up the table now.

I would actually live to heat what really happened now he's gone.

And again I reiterate...massive respect to Kev for not hanging his dirty washing out for all to see.

Doesn't get enough credit for that.

When Kone and Cleverly play in a left wing poition over you and you're a natuaral left winger there's an issue Shukes. How many times where we losing and he still never played him.

Again...not disagreeing mate. I just said he wasn't refusing to play him, because he did play him. Maybe not enough, maybe not in the right position and maybe not in the right matches.....but he didn't refuse to play him.

It's like saying Linekers goals won us the double!

Lukaku's goals didn't keepers up. The team kept us up.

And I don't for one second think that without Lukaku we would have played with ten men.

Are you still coming out with this stuff Shukes. The guy was completely dropped after being a key player.

Just stating facts that's all.

Opinion is one thing and that's fine. Facts are pretty much that though.

I am not saying there wasn't any fall out and I'm not defending Martinez for it....no one needs to now.

But I do try to keep it real.

Fact is that he has started matches recently and he has also has substitute appearances in the other matches.

That's all I am saying really.

He hasn't refused to play him.

He's started a few matches recently.

Too late though.

I voted De Boer for the simple reason I think he's the best REALISTIC target we can get.

Agree with you Pad. But the question was who do we want as manager and o would choose Mourinho over De Boer if I had a choice.

I agree with you though De Boer is more realistic.

If you go back a page there's a picture of him with the new kit on..

 

Assuming you are talking about Barkley?

Ahh thank God. I was really thinking hard about it haha
