Like 'English'. I probably meant grammar.

Hence, I don't do it. I'm shit at it myself

Now that Moshiri has pulled the plug on 777 before the PL did, and now he is working on deal with MSP to buy 25% of his shares, if this deal comes off I believe that the money raised will be used to finance the completion of the Stadium, well at least I hope it does thus keeping the Stadium hopefully in the hands of the club. 
What concerns me is that Moshiri will still own 73% or so of the shares, will he now stop his money embargo and start investing in the club again and take interest in the club again, or will we still see the poor owner we have witnessed for years. 
We need to know more the ins and outs of this deal should it happen before we get excited, and if it doesn’t happen what next Voluntary Liquidation ?

Where's this come from?

Oh...and now no capital 'i'...

I quit.

...and then the 'd' went missing off changed.

This is going very well. isn't it?!

...also ironic that my phone change 'in' to I'm.

Absolutely bloody fantastic.

What a plum.

Fuck me...I've never had the honor of correcting someone's (what's the word?) before.

Ironic that I can't think of the word

I really hope neither us or Forest go down now (even though I don't like Forest after them being one of the clubs originally whining about us). If either of these points deductions result as the reason why a team get the financial hit of what relegation brings, then it would truly be an unjust travisty for that team. 

Fair enough if a point deduction results in the lost of a few league positions as not much more than the 'cost' than a fine (although the only teams that benefit are the two or three that leapfrog you), but to condem a team to relegation truly is a case of a punishment not suiting the crime.

Lets hope its 'football' in the end that determines who is relegated or not this season. What a stressful season for all associated with Everton. 

 

Yeah. Be so harsh for a team to get relegated off the back of a points punishment.

It's simply backward thinking by Masters. Mind, what can we expect when there's no actual process in place? And then the panels are pretty much admitting they're working blind with no clue to a starting point etc.

We all know it's crazy from bottom to top.

Still fucks me off that they're changing the rules next season and we're going to be done twice in one season.

Barmy bastards.

not sure if this has been posted before. It is an encouraging read, I  would guess it is the blueprint for our planned future under 777 ownership.

To be fair, that all sounds pretty good.

He is capable though.

I think as a team we use him for all his other strengths and neglect him in terms of allowing him to be in the best places to finish.

Let's not forget, before this season he had 2 injury riddled seasons where his appearances were very stop-start.

Before that, he had 2 seasons of getting 15 and 21 goals for us...when told to focus on just being a striker.

He also netted 4 times for England.

It's mad frustrating for us all that we know, whatever opinions on other matters are, that a scoring DCL...even just another 5-10 goals this season so far...would have us in a very different position.

Hopefully he can now get some confidence back and have some sort of impact for us.

It's in our hands as long as we aren't deducted an additional 5 points or more. Until we know the penalty it's impossible to know who controls their own destiny. Burnley on Saturday is MASSIVE. Begging everyone on here who is going to be in full (and united) voice. We've kept this club afloat for almost 3 years now. What's a couple more weeks. COYB!

Ah shit I forgot about that.

Bollocks

Still...could be argued we have 18 points to fight for where we mostly have a favourable chance to win (I write off the Shite and Arsenal. Chelsea can be done though).

Well if you look at the "watch him go when he leaves Everton" comments then yes.

He will leave, he's playing like he's leaving. Will he become this world class player? - no.  
 

I hate to use Gerrard as an example but physically and athletically he could do what Gerrard did for Liverpool for us.  He's clocked the highest top speed for a midfielder this season - he's literally a gazelle, he can tackle, he can pass, he's strong, he should dominate the air.  Can't shoot but I'd have thought he would practice that.... 

ultimately we don't see it. We don't see it cos it's not in him. Simple as that. 

Onana? Top speed out of any midfielder or just ours? Honestly wouldn't have thought he was pacey. Which kinda says it all.

Another good cameo from him last night, if he is fit enough I would like to see him start v Burnley although at the moment he seems to have more of an impact coming off the bench

Then we bench him...

And bring him on in the first minute.

Hope so mate, starting with a midfield of Onana, Gana, and Doucoure meant we never going to be in control of the game. Gomes and Garner gave us so much more creativity and time with the ball, the difference was like night and day. 

Won't change it though

I'd probs feel 'safest' with Gana in along with Garner and Gomes.

I know Gana causes debate, but he's the best we have at cleaning up. So leave him back to do that. Let Garner and Gomes off the leash a bit.

Doucs and Onana, away from all out effort, aren't giving us what we need.

Just now, Btay said:

To be fair to him, he ran himself in to the ground tonight.

All I’ll say, is we looked a lot more like an actual football team when Gomes & Garner came in to midfield.

Gana had some loose moments on the ball as per usual but he buzzed around. Onana had some decent moments on the ball but strolled around.

We deserved the point from that, much better performance from the squad & credit Dyche for the triple change.

Ai. Hopefully Dyche see's how the dynamic changed with Garner and Gomes on and is brave enough to allow more creativity to play.

Fuckin McNeil at the end there. Simply tap it forward for yourself to run onto...ballsed it right up.

Anyway. A point.

It was a gutsy performance in the end.

Nothing to sing n dance about. But there was some fight, at least.

Take it game by game, limp over the line.

I agree here. We haven’t actually been that bad. We’ve had some good moments. 
But there just seems to be something not connecting. 

Yeah. I guess the 'something' is not having won for 12 games and struggling to score for about 3 years!

Can't see anything changing here so a draw at best.

What was the status they showed earlier? We've only got 3 or so points from a losing position?

Eeeeeh.

I know it's easier said than done, but I kind of hoped, with our lack of goals and winless streak, we might have found a way to play DCL and Beto.

I also know we don't have an abundance of options. But it feels a bit like 'hit and hope'. Just keep going and hope something changes.

I guess we'll see plenty of balls being played out wide, and crosses coming in for the defence to clear.

Don't expect anything from today regardless. Hoping for a gutsy, hard performance like we had for the first 4months of the season.

Newty I like what you said, but can I just add Haf is a decent bloke he is with me and we disagree on more things than we agree on, now some who will disagree with what I said will probably say it’s because we are out the same pod, and that’s fair enough but all I can do is try and be as honest as I can. 

Yeah it is what it is.

I see what I see and know what I know. One of my few strengths is being able to read people.

At the end of the day...I ain't part of no gangs, cliques or whatever. I don't want to be. I don't need to be. Not as a fake persona on here or in actual real life.

I see what I see and that's more than enough for me.

Back to Dychey then eh...
