Everton are playing the best we have for years! but yet i still feel like killing myself those 5 draws we have some of them should have been wins eg. Newcastle(robbed) Fulham(not taking our chances).
Seriously expect 3 straight wins with Sunderland, Reading and then Norwich and you have to give Jelavic chance this season he has a bit of pressure from how many he needs to score as he was on fire last season! but all i need to say we need to keep Fellaini in January secure a european place and i will be buzzing!

David Moyes is apparently montoring the progress of Barnsley right back John Stones and Leeds United right back/winger Sam Byram with a view to making a bid for one in January. Stones has also attracted interest from other premier league clubs and Byram is thought to be wanted by Spurs. I have heard all this but can you shed any light on it Ed?
Joe EFC {Ed025's Note - sorry joe, this is the first I've heard mate..

Not a new player as such, but am told that kennedy, one bought for the future, is playing so well ,that he may force his way into the first team picture !

05 Nov 2012 17:28:03
Tony Fernandes the QPR owner has enquired about taking David Moyes to takeover from Mark Hughes, my sources tell me he has been told what he can do with his offer.....

05 Nov 2012 18:28:04
As if Moyes would lower himself that much, ridiculous

The only way he'll get Moyes is to bring his cheque book to Everton and takeover the club. Isn't he quite wealthy ?

06 Nov 2012 11:44:11
I think he 'was' until Mark Hughes got hold of his money

Blue bones

When the day comes that Moyes moves from Everton, it will not be for a smaller club like QPR.

Moyes is right to say the strikers should take their chances. But when you've only kept 2 clean sheets in 10 matches, most of which have been against so-called lesser teams, it means that those strikers usually have to score at least twice for us to win. That's a lot to ask and I think it's our defensive failings that's the bigger problem

05 Nov 2012 15:56:43
It's got to be said, if Matty Kennedy keeps playing this well for the U21's then it can't be long till him earns a call up to the bench for the first team, looks a top little player!
Toffeepidge

I agree pidge, always interesting to see how our younger players are doing and he's not the only one doing well, George Green looks a real prospect too. Keep it up lads because you're coming into a golden era of Everton football club.

I think its a bit harsh on Coleman some of the comments made about him that its his fault we didn't get 3 pts. Yes he was at fault for the goal but how about our forward players who missed the chances to put the game to bed 27 attempts and only 2 goals I don't want to criticise anyone because I thought we played outstanding and 9/10 we probably be coming away with a 6-2 win. Coleman made one mistake and the boo boys are ready to jump on his back. The lad is still learning.

Robbie

I'm not a 'boo boy' - I'm posting on here to show the Coleman fans that he's not a great player - a few weeks back I dared to say he was awful and got a load of posts saying "you don't know what your talking about - he put two crosses over" etc - but I said watch him every game and see what he does - so I'll say it again - watch him in games - he's always out of position - tackles badly - miscontrols - can't get past a decent defender so plays easy passes backwards - OVERALL - he might be the difference between us getting champs league or not - he's easily our weak link - ok for the bench due to our financial position - but everyone else in our team is miles above him - do we really want to lose Fellaini Baines etc to champs league teams whilst we nurse maid Coleman into a half decent player? - your compassion is fine - but we've probably got one chance and one chance only to get into champs league - this year - rubbish or bust - before Felli goes - and that means wising up to coleman before he ruins that chance - harsh but true

If he is still learning then he had better hurry up. He is 24. If you are awful at 24, there is not much hope for you. You could let him off if he was about 18 - 20, but he isn't going to get that much better.

Mike

I'm with you all the way on that one. What did he cost, a 5 figure fee ? I think he's still worth that, he's that bad in my book.

He looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights at the best of times. It's a catch 22 situation, you have to play him for him to get more experienced and develop some positional sense, yet the more he plays the more points he seems to cost us. At 24, he doesn't seem to be developing any longer or learning from his mistakes, he's had countless opportunities to prove himself and deliver but, for me, he just doesn't do it at all. He's got pace and provides the occasional assist or cross but that isn't enough to merit a place in the side on a consistent basis. Very poor player

Sell him in Jan. he is a good lad, but we have moved on and got better. I think he has been left behind a bit.

We will easily get a couple of mill for him

Toffee ace

Can't get past a defender? Watch the third goal in the game against Southampton when he gets an assist. He is a good player IMO, stop slagging him off and get behind the team.

Bobcat

When it comes down to it, Coleman is only covering Hibbert while he is injured, once Hibbert is back and he is fit, Coleman will be on the bench.

Bobcat - I said he can't get past a decent defender and you drop the word decent and then mention a Southampton goal - durrrrrrrrr

Have to say watching Coleman last season I wanted to get rid of in the summer, did feel a bit sorry for him as he got a bad injury in a preseason game a terrible tackle from a Spanish lad I think. In which I think was carrying in for most of last season. Granted he has been at fault for a couple goals this season, as has Tim Howard. I have to say I have been very impressed with Coleman going forward he looks fitter than ever. Some great dribbles, one-twos and superb crosses. Under the guidance of Moyes improving his defensive and positional problems dont see it been to long before we have a top right back for years. Think he has improved every game this season and for that reason hope he stays right back for a few more games as I think you will see the defensive mistakes been eradicated and we will have our long term right back in position.

He plays on the left, He plays on the right, Kevin Mirallas, makes Suarez look rubbishe!

Good effort. Although lets be honest, Suarez is the better player.
Now before people have a go at me, I am not saying Mirallas is a bad player, (he is quality), but Suarez is on another level to him. IMO.

Mike

HAHA, I bet I know what that last word was supposed to be before Ed done his magic.

Comical :)

toffee jack

Give him some time to find his feet and get to grips with the English game and I'm sure he can be as influential for us as the number 7 for the reds is. From what I've seen thus far he's going to be some player for us. He's only shown glimpses of what he is really capable of and if he can reproduce the form he showed in the greek league then £5/6m will prove a bargain in the long term. I don't recall their number 7 making such a big impact in such a short space of time, 10 games or so. Yes he's borderline world class, pains me to say it, but I feel Mirallas has lots more to offer given time.

Why would that pain you to say it??

I don't understand?

Gods Doctor {Ed025's Note - is that a diagnosis doc?..:)

Just don't understand why "It pains me to say, Mirallas has more to offer"

Unless I've read it wrong twice, I don't understand.

Surely "It makes me excited, that Mirrallas has more to offer" would make more sense, or words to that effect!

Gods Doctor {Ed025's Note - i think he meant that it pains him to say that suarez is borderline world class mate..

I meant to say the reds number 7, correct Ed. Apologies for my obviously terrible grammar

Excellent performance on Saturday, Fulham supporters coming away from the ground saying we are the best team they have seen this year. The only down side was those persons (and that is polite) singing about a party and Gerrard dying. Why are you d...heads obsessed with the bloke -he wasn't there - when you should be like the rest and get behind the team. Unfortunately we then all get tarred with the same brush as you. 55 years a blue but at time some of you make me ashamed, as well as shaming all those other blues who show their true support. Do us all a favour, stay away. Rant over

Well said fella, I absolutely concur

I agree with you mate, apart from the bit where you said 'he wasn't there'. Even if he was there, singing about Gerrard dying is not on. The obsession with some fans about Gerrard and Liverpool is a bit pathetic.

Mike

I totally agree, forget them and concentrate on the blues

04 Nov 2012 21:22:44
I still we need to add another quality striker to our squad because jelly's form doesn't pick up soon or he gets injured we have no other quality strikers and we need a striker who had difefferent qualities such as pace and direct play just to change the game what do you think ed?

Eddy {Ed025's Note - another striker would be great eddy...but a holding midfielder would be top of my list mate..

I think Mirallas could do a job for us up front if anything happened to Jelavic , then we have big Vic (ok not the best), and Vellios, who has scored some important goals in the past and deserves a crack in my opinion. It's the middle of the park where I'm most concerned also, as P Nev isn't getting any younger and simply can't continue to play every minute of every game. We need a good, solid, steady partner for Gibbo and that man is Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe. If we can get him in I'd be over the moon and top 4 is a real, distinct possibility. Arsenal and Spurs are weak in comparison to yesteryear and if we're gonna make it then this year is out best chance.

as they have nothing to cheer about, nor do they have team to talk about the darkside come on here to call us bitter talk **** well how did you do against swansea i seem to remember we destroyed them,also did you do any better against man utd hmm let me think we beat them in fact played them of the park.the only thing you have to talk about is the derby and how hard you were done by when the goal was dissallowed. the ten years Dave Moyes has been here we have spent hardly any money and you correctly say we have not won a trophy,on the other hand how many managers have you had how much money have you wasted. we are a better club than you we are a better team than you like the queen Kenny said the table dont lie.our manager spends wisely jelovic mirrallis naismith gibson fellani all that for less than the donkey you signed lol your a joke moan on your own site and leave the best team in the city alone
