Richarlison being mardy is great comedy.

Didn’t we offer Gray a new contract? If so then it was his choice to leave not ours 

Don't spoil the moment for the moaners, let them have their fun.

I think Rodgers can learn something from Rafa. Even when they equalised, he was not afraid to change it. 

Don't necessarily disagree with you here but I think Everton were somewhat assisted by statueque defending for the first, Ben Mee's horrific ball out of defence for the second and then the general implosion from Burnley. They've gone to pieces since taking the lead. Everton have taken their chances though.

We need a Dimi in our team. Come home Prince. 

[Dan]

I'm trying not to overreact but I want civil war. Anything to stop this Gray run.

Dyche must be wondering wtf is going on. 

There is a myth about Burnley being strong defensively, they do leak goals.

They are winning 3-1 and you can hear the sparrows breathing.

We did but Rodgers couldn't guarantee him a regular spot in the starting 11 so Dimi decided it was time to move on.

Top six will be hard to achieve

[Tielemans63]

You can hear the Everton coaches talking to the players

 

"You've been class tonight son!"

Without actually checking he must have made at least 130 appearances for us 

in 8 seasons he started around 50 games.. I think my point still stands

[Corky]

Burnley top of the league for bald coaches this season. At least 3 seen so far.

He didn’t play for us for 8 seasons.

 

It felt like it though.

He tended to play really well as a sub and then started the next game when he generally disappointed…back to the bench again ….

Everton won’t finish top 6 either, their start has been ridiculously easy.

 

Southampton, Leeds, Brighton, Burnley is last season’s 15th, 9th, 16th and 17th. 10 points from that lot is pretty much par for the course especially as Southampton have been significantly weakened and Leeds look a shadow of the side they were last season.

 

Let’s not forget they had a similar start last season.

 

Top 4 is a pipe dream this season but we should still be aiming for top 6. Absolutely no excuses for not finishing above Everton.

I wonder if someone can find the longest run of starts he had under us? There’s never been a doubt about his talent it  was being able to do it consistently. By his own admission he could’ve done more here but he also said when he did more he wasn’t getting chances. Too many people on here think he had a massive attitude problem when that’s all just conjecture. I really wanted him to do well here but for some people it just doesn’t work out at certain clubs. I’m pleased for him he’s started the season well and scoring goals. Often felt sorry for him the stick he got from our fans. He’s gonna get booed like mad down here and I can’t actually see a real reason why.

Who says you need to spend a lot on transfers....combined cost of Townsend and Gray £1.7 million.....total cost of Perez £30 million

Can we calm down? Last year we got 9 points from the first 4 games, and 8 from the season before. We’re not playing well at the moment but we absolutely know that this team can shine on the day. Give it time.

Everton really aren't the best example when comparing us unfavourably in terms of large spending.

If he’d scored 3 in 4 he’d have kept playing. But he was invariably shit, so he didn't.

 

You can argue he’s not been given Perez like chances. But he had plenty of opportunities to do something with his career and seemingly by his own admission his attitude wasn’t right.
