Now now mike. Stay on topic please.

Some real nice touch n go stuff goin on.
 
Slowly, we are getting 'it' back.

Because naismith was knackered. He was blowing out of his arse. Mirallas wasnt.
 
At the end of the day, RM could have brought traore on...and if it didnt work, the same peeps would be saying 'why did he bring him on and not McGeady/Barkley/Gerry?'
 
I think if we had taken our chances in the first half, we would have seen Traore. But as we were chasing the game, RM threw on those who had already had game time for us this season.
 
It didnt work...it did vs villa...but no one can say we didnt go for it!

Cotto...so you had no expectations at all? But now that we are sat comfortably in 6th with a game in hand, its not good enough?! And whats all this 'grow a set ffs' stuff about?! As you can see from the responses, your views are thankfully in the minority...again. But at least you stirred up some convo, it was starting to go a bit stale!!
 
Honestly, I cant believe fans exsist who wouldnt want us in the europa. Unbelievable. Spoke about this in another thread.
 
And as for the illusion that the CL will automatically bring in a load of cash...it bloody doesnt!!! Again, have spoke about this in another thread.
 
I understand there is a bit of natural frustration that we arent sat in 4th, having been there for a short while, but you have to remember...no one expected 4th this season...and to get it we have to out gun some big spenders.
 
We'll get there eventually. ..but we'll do it the Everton way. And fans will have to be patient and appreciate the Everton way will become the only way.

What? What have they got to do with us getting into the Europe??!!!!
 
Laudrup was sacked, as Swanseas well respected chairman Huw Jenkins has said, because the board felt that the club was loosing its fabric, its feelin, the culture that had been carefully and successfully built up over time with Martinez, De Sousa, Rodgers. They also couldnt carry on with the constant feeling that Laudrup was looking else where. This alone was causing issues.
 
Europe will be a challenge...but no club or its fans should steer clear just because it might be a bit tiring!!!

Chelsea earned 10.7mill euro prize money when they won it.
 
It is a hard slog for teams, but I would never turn my nose up at getting there.
 
Its not just the prize money...its getting the club back on the euro map, raising the profile etc (not to mention extra gate receipts, merchandise and hot dog sales).

Possibly.
 
The 3 to go off were bang on. They had faded out of the game.
 
I thought we would see Traore too, especially chasing the game at the end. But he maybe just isnt ready and/or RM thought the 3 who did come on were the best options.
 
Its quite impressive being able to bring them guys on, but all 3 looked a bit short of match sharpness.
 
So collectively we can analyse it and call out the ref, RM, whatever whoever....but in reality it should have been game over by half time.

Yep. This game underlined that all we need is a 20 goal a year striker. Everything else was pretty nifty, but we lacked in and around the box, kind of ran out of ideas.
 
In all honesty, we should have had it won by half time. Only the players on the pitch are responsible for that.
 
With the free kick that lead to their goal. Its seems to be accepted in football that freekicks can be taken further back, you see this all the time, maybe with the assumption that its a 'disadvantage' to do so??? In this instance, I cant see past how jags n distin were completely turned off. Whatever your view, it was a good bit of quick thinking that well and truly got us in the bollocks.
 
Its a shame we got nothing out of this game points wise but there are several positives that I hope we can carry into the Palace game.
 
Im looking forward to March when I hope that the likes of Barkley, Gerry, McGeady, Lukaku and Traore are all much more match fit and sharp. So long as all goes to plan, we should push hard for those euro places....and the fa cup of course!!!

Just lookin at that freekick again...hard to swallow that our 2 big men at the back turned off so much! Another defensive error. You just cant coach it!!

Fair play to you sir.
 
Enjoy the rest of the season...it aint over yet!!! ; ))))

This is a genuine question, so dont read it in any other way!
 
How would this defending deeper work? Say if we were 10-15 yards deeper. Shites attacking quartet are still going to press...our players would still make the mistakes, have a nightmare...the only difference being that it hapoens closer to our goal??? Does one team sitting deeper not just allow the other team to push up further?

This is great to watch.
 
Just need a bit more luck/finesse in their box. Maybe were an inform and fit Lukaku fits in.

Haha...your gonna love this if he keeps going!

Can't forecast where we are gonna finish on the back of one shite result....because if you do, then where are arsenal gonna finish?!!!
 
We are rank outsiders for 4th, in fact most out there think spurs and utd will finish above us. And fair play to the kopshites, they are rightly favourite for 4th...but they ain't to clever away from home????
 
So, let us be outsiders. We have done well this season so far. The changes made have been great. I didn't expect too much this season, a battle for 5th at best. Next season....that's when the real fun begins!!!
