What a strike! That's how you do it DCL, Beto, Doucs, Gana....etc

@duncanmckenzieismagic You've made a very valid point there regards Dyche and the shackles. Remember, we were playing quote open and fairly good football before the deduction. We had to rallied to get those points on the board. With a lot of effort, we only managed to get on an even standing with the bottom teams. Now we're cautiously trying to pick up points. It's a really tough predicament to be in.

Is right aswell. You can tell its creating an unnecessary anxiety around Goodison Park. Do we know, at all, how many clubs are facing failing PSR? The January window would indicate a fair few! I wonder if there really is a decent amount and that's why the PL want to change the rules next season. Sorry, I know this has probably all been talked about already.

Beto: I think he has more than being credited for. Very rough around the edges. Like DCL, is left fighting for scraps with crosses and passes that go all over in the final 3rd. I like him. Chimitti: Absolutely no idea. Harrison: He's done good. On a shite run in line with the team just now. But isn't he up at the top 3 or so for goals and assists? He's certainly chipped in his worth. Danjuma: Looks a threat. The problem is he's a greedy selfish cunt. I wouldn't play him. Young: Thought he was a good signing to fill in. Problem is he's filled in too often and in positions he looks awful and has let us down. Defo Weakened Dyches credibility. I think the signings we've made are reflective of the market we're in. We'll have to get used to it I'm afraid.

It should all be 'suspended' pending clear improvements. Whatever it ends up being. The other thing that bugs me, I'm sure it does you and everyone else, and I can't quite get my head around, is that the next charge is to be announced in April? But then I guess that has a right of appeal too. But the timeliness of these things, so far anyway, show that the season would be finished! As we all know, the more we talk about it and look at it, the crazier it all gets.

It was a cheeky one

....probably because we couldn't pay for the blokes

No, honestly, I get you. I get the point . And it's valid. BUT...its all hindsight. At the moment. In my opinion, Beto isn't as bad as some think. We, as Evertonians, tend to be very quick to write players off. Beto, like any player...and we've plenty of evidence of this...needs proper consistent game time. So, again, we could have not bothered buying any striker because our price range means whoever we get would be a gamble. That's the realistic market we're in. Which means, we still would rely on DCL either way. It's the sort of catch 22 we'll find ourselves in again and again. End note...I'm not sure Chamatti was a good idea. I wasn't sure about that one at the time. Didn't seem to make sense.

Yeah. And then they want to do us for the exact same offence for the exact same reasons. Because they haven't thought it through. Mad ain't it? So I'd the 10 points stick, realistically they can only take another 10 points off for the 'new' offence. It's fuckin crazy.

Yeah. You're right. But that's not the original point we're chatting about. That's a different convo in my opinion. We couldn't clob the money together from both of those players to buy one because we didn't have the money. Anybody who wants to sell a proven goalscorer, would want the money there and then. So we either go without and leave an area of the team we know we needed to improve with absolutely no back up at all...which we all would have been fuming about back in August. Now you can say they've done nothing blah blah blah...thats the beauty of being able to look back from the now. But 100% at the time, we all thought it was shrewd business and clapped it. I don't believe that we go out to buy players to contribute nothing. I believe we buy players to improve the team. And with us being skint, we have to do so with care. Again, now the opinion MIGHT be we shouldn't have bothered. At the time, there would have been a kick off. Guarantee it.

You've got to remember the deals constructed for those 2 mean we haven't yet paid a penny. We wouldn't have been able to combine their fees for a better option on a 'buy now pay later' deal, because no club in their right mind would let a proven scorer go on such a deal. We're still absolutely skint remember.

I give up guessing why managers do what they do a long time ago. The points you are making are right. As are mine, so

Proper poor tonight. I think we all knew we'd hit a poor run at some point, this one is going on a bit longer than we feel comfortable with! I think we have to remember there's a unique pressure around the place. The 10 points off puts us in a pressured position that we wouldn't otherwise be in. Its hard, but we have to remember where we should be. And that we have been good enough to be there. Was never going to be an easy ride.

So fuckin hard when you can't score! Really need DCL to find it...like, 7 games ago really!!!

Must admit I thought McNeil was a lot faster than he's looked tonight. We've no pace on those wings at all.

Need more going forward. McNeil and Young aren't giving us what we need.

I think the fact the January transfer window was so shit shows its too low. Too many clubs needing to play it safe. I think it was said on here already, but the PL could quite possibly stiffle its own business with PSR. Although, of course, it's much more complicated than that.

...by the way, which would also make me feel that they know more clubs are going to break PSR and couldn't possibly dock 'everyone' points.

Be fucking fuming...like everyone...if we get these points kept off, then more off in April... Then they change the rules next year. They surely aren't that fuckin incompetent?!!

...although I do kinda get where you're coming from. Those clubs would have been more 'defensive' and smart I guess. Whereas we tried to be the nice club willing to get out belly tickled in hope.

....because they've been better run

Hopefully he steps away. 76 year old. Getting shit spat at you from gobshite fans. Better things to be doing in your final years. Fuck that.

An agenda against us? No. I've never believed that as I can't see why it would be us specifically. So, yeah, for me badly run. They've brought out a bunch of rules without actually having any rules in place. Headless chickens. Not sure how Masters is still in a job.

At this point I'm seeing the PL being run worse than us. That's how bad of an impression they're giving.

I'm struggling to see how we can get points back via appeal, which basically means we 'won', to then be taken points off again for almost the same period we've appealed against? When, from what I've read, the latest accounts in the latest period show us to be doing much better? Either way, the PL know they've fucked this up massively. Everytime they speak, they dig the hole deeper.
