    I originally said 13 that's just a typo. But it can stay 😅

    Sell him, just so we can get rid of this thread.

    More energetic than the player nicknamed Duracell bunny? And that player is Davies? And your high on what again?

    Hmmm the midfield is crap so let’s sell the only player capable of winning the ball back and see if that improves things, not sure that’s the best idea I’ve ever heard to be honest!
    If we can’t replace him don’t sell it’s that simple, selling Lukaku without a replacement hast worked out too well has it?
    if we keep weakening the side there is only one direction we will go

    But it will cost more to develop GP. It’s not just about the extra seats, it’s about the all round facilities. Anyone who’s been in the changing rooms will tell you they are not premier league standard, and there is no room inside the stadium to expand these things. Then there is the lack of corporate facilities, not enough room for the general fans in comparison with other stadiums, terrible leg room and small concourses. It’s the whole package. I’m sure you’ll love the new stadium when you get in it Rubes.

    "It is extremely expensive. It will cost us £100m more than other sites but it is like Mastermind. We have started so we will finish."
    Love it!

    I wouldn’t have thought the consequences of you not filling a few extra feet in your extension would be quite the same as Everton not being able to fill the ground
    i mean if you find you have no real use for the extra space you could just nip down to Ikea and buy a computer desk or something to fill the gap
    Not quite the same as Everton having 10000 odd empty seats on a Saturday

    I get it now , if we hide them we can pretend that they aren’t really there!
    Why don’t we just save ourselves a ton of money and paint a fake new tier above the Park End that holds 50k fake fans then we can pretend we have the largest ground in the Prem?

    I was confident before I went and had a look the other week, the scale of the site and the work needed is astronomical. Of course these things can be done and the Albert Dock and Echo arena attest to the fact, just that my brain can't take in the logistics of a project that size.
    Mind you I'm blown away by the design of the new IKEA in Exeter; who invents these places where once you're in it's impossible to find your way out without (your wife) spending minimally £200? Some clever people around!
    The docks are magnificent, I'd have loved to have seen them 150 years ago.

    Best scenario in my opinion. I’d rather a full 52k than a 3rd full stadium.

    I'm not. It's football.   Treat it for what it is. A game where the team you love is doing shit.  
    Got dickheads going to games slashing people's faces... scarred for life. The result will be a faded memory in a few years for many.

    Sad day for Everton but also a sad day for officialdom, does the cup have VAR or does it not? You can't introduce it in some games but not in others, if you enter a competition all should play by the same rules surely.

    Newty82 reacted to Bailey in Leicester City (Home) Tuesday January 1st   
    Leicester got lucky. We gifted them a goal, lets not carried away FFS.
    He has tried 5 at the back, probably due to the schedule and injuries to but it hasnt worked. His preferred formation is clearly 4-2-3-1. 
    Davies was coming on to go like for like with Gomes because Gomes was flagging and probably carrying a knock and he had just been booked. We werent as in control as we were in the first half but we were the most likely to score at that point so it was a case of being patient and keep probing. When we conceded that plan changed and he probably did what most people on here wanted by taking off a midfielder and bringing on an attacker. Personally I would have stuck with Davies and switched DCL and Walcott for Tosun and Bernard, bringing Niasse into the piece later in the game (if he was on the bench).
    We havent looked the same team, I agree. It was a big loss which took a lot out of the players and since then the games have come thick and fast with no time to regroup. Changing formations clearly hasnt helped but we dont have a back up for Gana so I can see why he went that way, even if I dont agree with it.
    The defence has looked solid IMO. They created almost no chances at 0-0 today, Brighton didnt do much, Burnley had a couple but again, they certainly arent leaky.
    Some fans just need to get a grip of themselves a little, stop panicking and take a deep breath. Talk of selling Pickford, not trying to sign Gomes is God knows what else you come up with next is just madness.

    It’s not the fact that Gana is a ball winner - nor is it that Spurs were missing their ball winners in Dier/Wanyama. It’s the fact that Gueye is a better fit than Davies. I won’t say better player as Davies has many attributes ‘better’ than Gueye but, for our current set-up, I’d much rather have Gueye playing alongside Gomes than Davies. Spurs have much better options in central midfield than us. Sissoko and Winks don’t need a label; they’re just very good footballers.

    Games are fluid; it might have been a tackle/interception he made several minutes earlier so the ball wasn't where it ended up.

    Not been in the forum for months. Noticed the title of this thread.
    Please don't tell me after the performances Gana has put in this season the same old argument rages on? (Although I accept in the few games before he got injured, I noticed his passing was going more wayward).
    Really missed him today. In his true role, he's vital for us. Just needs to polish up the consistency on his play at pace passing.

    If we rushed in to something and made a complete hash of it, we would all be whinging "typical Everton" 
    Id rather we get it right, we won't get another chance for many years.

    Newty82 got a reaction from Bailey in Liverpool (Away) Sunday December 2nd   
    Gutted lads!!! Unbelievable end.
    I said to my lad at about 75mins 'this games gonna be won by a daft mistake by one or the other'. But that was another level.
    Hard to stomach.
    BUT...really proud of how we played. Really pleased about our progress as this season has gone on. So the bigger picture looks much better than this one result. The direction we are going in is really positive. And that's all proper Evertonians want at this moment.
    Haven't posted for ages (international breaks proper destroy my interest!)...hope you are all ok? (Apart from this result).
