The Doctor

Absolutely not. We'll be lucky not to become the first team to lose by double figures.

won't happen. If you intend to just defend the 9-0 for 90 minutes you'll invite more and more pressure and inevitably concede. There's a reason why Coopers PL teams concede on average 1.8 goals per game and it's because his tactics encourage goals against

I mean you saw the quality of the football on show right? there's enough fans that want to make noise but we really really need an end, rather than UFS being tucked away into the corner and the club doing their best to stop people joining them

he's shit, sorry. the sum of his skillset is to stand on the ball and then get pushed over, and tbqh I can do that for significantly less than he's getting paid.

let's be honest, this isn't pragmatic. pragmatism isn't playing like a League one side in a cup tie v Man City regardless of the opposition, it's setting up to play based on the strengths of your squad. Enzo was dogmatic but could afford to be as the squad was well coached and built to play his way. Cooper is as dogmatic, but about a worse style of football that the squad isn't built for and that he can't coach. get him gone

he's useless. his tactics are dogshit, his subs are dogshit and he's gonna take us back to the championship with ****ing Ayew playing every game. get the clown gone

for Mavididi? **** off cooper you ****ing moron

fatawu coming on, that needed to be with 20 minutes left, not 2

single subs from a bloke who doesn't know his arse from his elbow. don't let Mavididi being a baller delude you about this gimps ability as a manager

stephy rescuing spaghetti coops, now get that pensioner on the right off for Abdul

Sousa: P9, W1, D2, L6 Cooper so far P5, W0, D2, L3. anyone fancy us to get more than 3 points from Forest and Bournemouth at home, Arsenal and Southampton away? he's gonna have a worse showing than Paulo

god, nearly getting away with murder thanks to ol t rex arms

what is actually the point of Ayew in this team? he's utterly useless

and Abdul, like let's be clear, Ayew doesn't offer anything to any team unless you're trying to close out a lead by time wasting

10 minutes to be proven completely right about the exclusion of Ricardo, again. Learn or **** off Cooper and I really don't care which

Ricardo is straight up one of the best players in this squad, and the goals we're conceding from open play keep coming down the right. not playing Ricardo is a joke from a manager who is utterly inept (no league wins in 19)

harsh his money's good enough to buy a ticket.

Spaghetti Coops continuing to ignore his best player... how many goals do we think we concede down the right this week?

Yes, he's playing him as an advanced destroyer but wilf is not, nor will he ever be, the man to unpick a stubborn defence. Play him there by all means against bigger sides or away from home, where teams won't sit in and dare us to break them down, but Everton will do that and Wilf will be as useful in that role in this game as a space heater in the Sahara.

if he goes 3 dcms at home again he needs giving a pair of concrete boots and chucking the soar. Same with Ayew tbqh, Everton are shit, get Facundo or Bilal, Fatawu and Mavididi on the same pitch. Ayew can come on if we're leading with 15 to go and do the one thing he does well, fall over and cause breaks in play.

oh hey, we've already got 75% of that ticked off, given 50% of it hasn't changed at all from 2 years ago

it's turned half our fans into mad conspiracy theorists about how the PL is hiring referees to rig games to apply a points deduction so not surprising a manager who has the same level of coaching ability as the average fan is also on the same train

shut that club down for endangering players imo, senior team relegated to the regional leagues with an auto 20th place finish in their current league seems fair.

yep, that's ultimately the issue in football these days. the idea of a curbishley, Wenger, Ferguson, who spends decades at a club is long gone, the average tenure is 2 years. with that, and the length of player contracts, there has to be a long term plan that head coaches are recruited into. elephant in the room is that that's then the role of a DoF and why good DoFs are so readily headhunted these days

yes, because in future they'll definitely go "well that looks like Daka was offside, but we'll give it as onside so they don't kick up a fuss". this "we need to make the PL know we won't accept being punished for winning the PSR court case" stuff is a level of victimhood and conspiracy theorising that makes forests Sephiroth posting after the Everton v Forest game look comparatively hinged.
