Wouldn’t a draw be better ? both sides are still in the hunt and a draw takes 1 point out of the equation it could be argued that an Ipswich win is better than a soton win because it takes soton pretty much out of the game

Turnover isn’t currently part of it will be from next season

Ricky surely won’t play every game ?

I just assume that they needed to be instructed from the bench to do it (once it was clear that norwich were flooding the middle of the pitch as an actual approach and not just doing it to try and trap us into making a long diagonal pass I think we are very much robotic with our tactics

Would assume that Ricky will be on the bench at millwall to allow him to play the three games in a week when we have soton. We can’t afford for him to break now. perhaps wilf may need either milwall or Plymouth on the bench for the same reason

The cross field passes ( and we did lots of that in the first half of the season) were because they flooded the middle of the pitch and left the wingers one for one. Hence with the ball on one side of the pitch, there is a cross field pass available to the opposite winger. You have to play depending on the tactics of your opponent. I posted this quite early in the MD thread. Winks and Ricky had no space but if that’s the case then there must be room somewhere else. second half they attempted to get a second player closer to the wingers which meant we made more passes in the middle of the pitch. Imo we were just more aggressive and pro active with our movement off the ball which gave the passer an option other than the safe sideways or backwards pass.

We slowed the game down a lot in the second half plenty of opportunities to go forward on a break and we decided to turn back and rather keep the game compact and move it all into the final third

It was totally enzoball it was just with more intensity and movement than we’ve seen for a while

Wilf needs to come off knackered

Abdul plays it to kdh’s right foot and winks shoots with his left foot triffic

So does the three year rolling number fall away ? if so then you’re best to get as much rubbish as possible into one season and take the sanction ?

Yes im saying that his income could be seen to cover the missing euro and PL finishing place income so that leaves us in line with the previous year of neg 92m if you take madders in then surely that should deliver a loss nearer 60m ?

Question next season in the PL, the psr rules change to become percentage of turn over does that mean the three year rolling total falls away? Or does the new measure simply deliver a figure calculated a new way and the three year rolling 105m max loss stays in place ?

Which would be £214 m three year running total ( not for psr purposes) if the loss is really that high then I reckon we’ve stuck a fair bit of bad news into last season and maybe even dragged madders into this one. the previous one was comparable and whilst we sold little wes which brought in approx £35m profit, we didn’t have European income and we’re 10 places lower in the league. Hence wes’ profit could be seen to cover the fall off in euro and PL finish income. So where is madders’ £30m profit?

It would be very quiet - most will be in shock

You think they will make changes to their approach in less than 48 hours ? whatever they thought would work on Friday will be rolled out again today …… etc etc

Lcfc - hold my beer !

I think the club now has loans with lenders other than moshiri Anyway, my point is that Everton could be in a way worse financial position if they hadn’t been making efforts to meet psr over the past two seasons

If I were playing devils advocate then I might express that without the constraints of psr then Everton could be in a level of debt that might not be recoverable

Leicester fans know who rudkin is no one else in football does ! hence the writer of the article must be a fan

Complete antithesis of yesterdays games

you can be sure that drury will have a Jesus at Easter line ready

To a degree yes but watching us it’s clear that we’ve lost our bottle to make the brave passes and make the movement required to give the passer someone to find

Intensity doesn’t necessarily equal success or good performances but it does reflect desire are we just too controlled ?

Our drop off in results has coincided with a spell where we’ve had lower possession stats (ergo - we’ve been more direct) but that’s unlikely to be deliberate and a consequence of a confidence drop off
