Does Woy then get the boot if they are suddenly 8 games without a point? Can a team survive after going that far into the season without a point? No, to both, hopefully. 4 hours ago, StriderHiryu said: Interesting reading the Everton forums. Despite their massive outlay and a start roughly as hard as ours their fans are not happy. They see Gylfi as a huge failure already and feel they have gone backwards. I think it's a good example when thinking about Leicester. Some want a bigger name manager and to splash the cash but it's no guarantee for success. Time will tell for us but I feel we are better than they are right now. I said in pre-season when people were talking up Everton at the expense of Leicester that they were shit. Their defense is full of donkeys and they don't have a goalscorer. Rooney is shit and will doom them to a relegation battle. Loved their 3-0 thrashing in the Europa league last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell for us but I feel we are better than they are right now. But Gylfi is exactly the type of player we needed. And exactly the type of player Eveeton didn't (with Barkley, AM Rooney etc.) and no striker? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell for us but I feel we are better than they are right now. I thought we had already proved success is not just about spending cash. Just like other fans moaning about our possession stats. It's not how long you have the ball but what you do with it that counts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 15 September 2017 Share Posted 15 September 2017 Not directly a Premier League thing but Clarke Carlisle has been reported missing, as many know he attempted suicide a year or so ago so family clearly very worried again! Apparently last seen at 6am in Manchester. Incredibly sad for someone who has done so much mental health campaigning whilst suffering himself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 15 September 2017 Share Posted 15 September 2017 I wouldn't take note of Everton fans. They follow Everton well and can't knock their followings away from home but they seem to turn and change opinions so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These "named" managers who attract the good players and are tactically superior aren't doing too well so far. Koeman has been a good manager since he joined the Premier League. Two solid seasons with Southampton and improved Everton last season. I am not a fan of buying so many new players though. Always felt they overspent massively, especially on average players. I understand your point about big names and great players don't always make great managers but I wouldn't put Koeman alongside De Boer. I think Koeman is a good manager.

I'm not, it's just a sly dig a people who touted people like De Boer as being worlds apart from CS, almost like it's a shoe in the fancy foreign fella everyone knows is the better bet. Or people rimming Evertons recruitment in the summer. If CS does a shit job, I'll say it. So many people seem desperate for him to fail that they aim unwarranted and baseless critisism at times. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 15 September 2017 Share Posted 15 September 2017 (edited) I know Roberto Martinez is a bit comical with his excuses and some decision making but at least they scored goals with him... and I can't remember too many 3-0 pastings on the bounce. I'm sure they'll click eventually but I can't see it being in time for anything more than 8th place. They need to spend big on a striker in January that's for sure. I also think, as I always have, it only solidifies just how fantastic a footballer Seamus Coleman is, how he has never got a big move when the likes of Walker and Stones have is beyond me. It also looks a little bit like Baines is starting to fade as a footballer which is understandable with his age, but the two of them on song down the wings make a massive difference for Everton.

Too many slow no.10's in the team, it looked odd that they were buying the same player 3 times over, but to play them all at the same time is giving them no real width or pace in the team other than the full backs.

For sure! I think perhaps he is only playing them all at the minute though as he has no fit wingers. I'm pretty sure Bolasie walks back into that team when he's fit.

I'm surprised Lookman doesn't get more time, always been impressed with him when I've seen him for them. Although other fans say the same about Gray and we know he blows hot and cold.
