Cue the ribbin that Barkley will get on MOTD not consistent enough etc etc, I honestly think the mood and the sad news today effected the whole club massively today R. I. P Howard true legend.

{Ed025's Note - you may be right lancer..

Don't think that can excuse the performance, have a look at Ian Rush' interview after the Liverpool game about Howard Kendall. Brilliant.

18 Oct 2015 08:45:25
Your right Swan it isn't an excuse but don't think it helped matters either.

18 Oct 2015 19:16:59
The players are humans not robots like some people think they should be, don't forget they would have all probably of known HK as was still around the club at time, so to expect them to go out and give a performance just hours after hearing the news unreasonable. They were probably still in a bit of shock as they had no time to take the news in so for me I can can totally overlook yesterdays performance because of the unique circumstances surrounding the game.

18 Oct 2015 20:08:06
Well said Mike S. People do forget that the players are only human like the rest of us at times. No doubt they'll want to put that game behind them and be encouraged to make HK proud after everything settles down. No doubt he will be proud looking down from above R. I. P. the legend that is HK.

Well, things started badly with the sad news about Howard Kendall then quickly got worse with the shocking result against United.
Then, when I got home, I found my wife had left me; things are finally looking up.
Pub here I come, yay!

17 Oct 2015 21:31:53
Haha quality

18 Oct 2015 14:41:12
then you found out she had only popped out to the chippy.

17 Oct 2015 18:55:17
From a spurs fan but have a soft spot for the toffees gutted to hear about Kendall. In the 1980s he had Everton as the top club in the country playing fantastic football and I still think about sheedy linerker Trevor Steven and co as one of the greatest football teams I have ever seen.

{Ed025's Note - cheers mate..

Oh I forgot to mention, what is with the booing? Booing Schweinsteiger? WHY? Oh yeah he used to annoy me when we played Bayern in the Champions League. Do half our fans watch Football? Why boo Schweinsteiger? Robbie Styles in the Lower Bullens needs to shut up as well. Anyone else heard him? Fella who shouts instructions all game? Tells us to launch it then play it short then keep it then run with it then pass it out the back then launch it.

17 Oct 2015 17:37:58
Well, what a bad day for all of us blues, starting off with the sad news that Howard had passed away this morning. RIP HK, gave me plenty of great childhood memories when we took both the English league and, although cut short, Europe by storm.
Then we witness the current team labour away for 90 minutes without actually seeming to do anything. Defensively we were shocking, not something we have been able to say too many times this season. Maybe bringing both Stones and Seamus back for this game was a mistake against a united team that took their chances. Only Rom and Lennon can hold their heads up, the rest might as well have stayed in the changing rooms. This is up there with the Watford game as the worst we have played this season, at least in the second half of the first game we turned up and salvaged a point. As I said, bad day all round.

17 Oct 2015 18:19:58
If a kopit tells me it's cold at the north pole, knowing what bull shiters they are, I would be inclined to book a two week sunshine vacation, however the one that came on here and said we now had the spanish Brenden Rodgers, was, regretable, spot on. Now if we only had a yank with some ball to give him the tin tack.

18 Oct 2015 05:18:25
JCW I understand it must be hard for you. You have the spanish BR, very average team, you get ripped apart by Utd, and your Wales team lost an all. I guess it's always blue on the rubbish side of mersyside.

18 Oct 2015 07:41:23
Didn't you get ripped apart by Utd? 3 times in a row? Did Norway qualify for the Euros mate? Or Scandinavia?

17 Oct 2015 17:34:43
Hi guys, unlucky on today.

I'm here as I want to pay my respects to the man Howard Kendell.

Thoughts are with his family.

RIP Howard.

Howard-2-IM SICK OF THIS GOALKEEPER. Goes the wrong way all the time, doesn't react like most keepers do, he decides which way before the shot. Get Joel on goal now.

Coleman-5-Nothing going forward and I stick to my point that he is the worst crosser in the team.

Stones-6-Read Jags.

Jagielka-5-I love our Centre Backs, they are brilliant, today, they look like the Glimmer twins taken over by Titus Bramble and Gary Caldwell.

Galloway-5-Caught out way too much.

McCarhty-4-Been poor for a while now, you know it's bad when Michael Carrick beats you for pace.

Barry-5.5-Not much better.

Lennon-6.5-Worked hard and caused trouble when on the ball, but I will talk about Martinez in a minute. Had to do Coleman's job for him.

Barkley-4-Lost it more than usual, poor set pieces but it doesn't help when imbecile 'fans' hurl abuse at him.

Naismith-3-Just, just awful, that hattrick is a distant memory.

Lukaku-7.5-Bullied Smalling but had no help at all. Held it up well and was a tank.

Martinez, get rid of Howard, take Naismith out the team, the formation was odd. Naismith like a centre mid and Barkley like a right forward. Galloway got no support. No idea why Lennon went off, poor all round.

17 Oct 2015 17:32:52
U must of watched a different game to me mate if u think Lukaku bullied Smalling.

17 Oct 2015 18:15:36
Must of done mate.

17 Oct 2015 18:55:56
Agree with Swan thought Lukaku got the better of Smalling but got no help.

17 Oct 2015 16:25:27
. well we struggled to draw against a poor Liverpool team on the day and getting thrashed by the Mancs today and both at home. I think our season has now taken a turn for the worst. where the hell we'll end up by next May is anyone's guess!

17 Oct 2015 16:43:28
Always taught do not change an unbeaten side. We find a way of playing that brings Lukaku into play and then yet again the 'New Tinkerman' thinks he knows best so the side and tactics are changed.

17 Oct 2015 16:47:28
In answer to where we finish up, 11th the same as last season.

17 Oct 2015 15:25:01
Just heard about Howard Kendall.

So sad, no matter what team you support, everybody respected him.
Massive loss to football.

RIP Blue Legend.

17 Oct 2015 14:20:13
I had the honour of sitting a couple of seats behind Bill Kenwright last season against Lille.

At half time I was walking back up to the Dixie Dean suit when I noticed Howard stood next to me. I put my hand out and shook his but was in such awe that I forgot to let go and ended up walking up the steps holding his hand.

With a chuckle he said could he have his hand back then gave me a warm pat on the back.

I'm devasted today but I'm going to sing my bloody lungs out and make sure wherever he is he can hear how much he meant to us blues.

RIP Mr Kendall

RIP Howard Kendall, gutted I never got to see us play under him. Gentleman and our greatest ever manager.

17 Oct 2015 13:27:08
Sad day to be a blue, RIP Howard. My thoughts are with your family and friends.

17 Oct 2015 12:38:38
I was a 10 yr old boy in 1984 and I'm not ashamed to admit I started supporting Everton because of the success of Everton at the time so I can say without any doubt Howard Kendall is the reason I support the greatest club in the land and for that I say thank you Howard Kendall and rest in peace.

17 Oct 2015 13:44:18
I SAW HOWARD KENDALL PLAY BEST PLAYER TO NEVER PLAY FOR ENGLAND. SADLY MISSED R. I. P TRUE BLUE.

17 Oct 2015 12:31:23

17 Oct 2015 12:21:56
RIP Howard Kendall. Respected from the red side of the park.

17 Oct 2015 12:02:21
Has to be my worst day as a Blue. RIP Howard, my thoughts are with your friends and family and fellow Blues. The memories will last forever.

17 Oct 2015 12:21:59
Legend that's all I say.

17 Oct 2015 11:59:53
Never even met the man, sure seen him at the games. A great man. The best manager we've had. I'm gutted. Really hope his family find some peace. Shocked. R.I.P BIG MAN. Once a blue always a blue. So very Sad.

17 Oct 2015 10:55:04
I would just like to pass on my condolences to the Kendall family, Howard will be sadly missed. A lovely man, a gent and probably Everton's greatest ever manager as well. R. I. P. Mr Kendall.

bought for 20m, asking price 225m, no our directors "never" make a penny out of the club! Gready, robin b. S. Money over and above the purchase price should be going into the club, not lining the pockets of those blood suckers.
