Big Reg, don't stop posting. It's the fans that get behind the team that will kick start our season.

I'm personally not overly happy with what we've done in the window. Think we've made some good signings but we haven't set ourselves up to start the season well and that is not acceptable for me.

However as we proved last season, when we all get behind the team, we are the greatest fans in this league, our passion for our club is second to none and fighting between ourselves on forums is not going to help anyone.

People are frustrated and allowed to vent on match days let's try understanding that and not shutting the optimists or the pessimists down as we all want the same thing!

Things will get better when we bring a forward in.

We will all have to hope PB.


3.) 13 Aug 2022 20:39:32
Yes mate we can only hope, like him or not but we’ve not replaced Lukaku.


4.) 13 Aug 2022 21:06:42
Before the transfer window shuts I'd rather spend the few remaining millions we have on a clone of Tim Cahill.


5.) 13 Aug 2022 23:22:03
We’re ok, better than last year, the division is weaker than last year too (in my opinion) . Once dealings bed in, it’ll be fine, defence looks very good, just need to start scoring. I’m sure a signing is on the way, let’s judge the window at the end of the window, as we have been asked to do.


6.) 14 Aug 2022 02:09:29
Well we have improved over last year, we are only losing by one goal on average rather than two. On the other hand non of our players have scored for us and our injury record has not improved. Things can only get better.


7.) 14 Aug 2022 12:05:26
Good post that mate.

Nkoukou out on Loan it seems, beginning to get very confused here, feels like we are aiming to just have a starting 11 come the end of the window and nothing else. I really hope we put a recall clause in!

EFCONE

{Ed002's Note - What is a "recall clause"?}


1.) 31 Aug 2021 13:17:13
The kind where you can recall them if you get injuries - maybe the kind of clause that exists in champ manager only, I'm sure you are about to enlighten me either way🤣.

{Ed002's Note - That is not how it works. You can only recall players if the terms of the loan are not met.}


2.) 31 Aug 2021 13:24:11
My bad, I thought you could recall them in January if agreed in advance.


3.) 31 Aug 2021 13:26:31
Hi Ed, think I can shed some light on this one. In the game ‘Football Manager’ it allows you to loan players out to other teams and insert loan recall clauses in the agreement. That way during the same season you can effectively cancel the loan / recall the player and it does not effect you being able to loan them elsewhere in the same season.
…. Thanks his is all football manager of course!


4.) 31 Aug 2021 14:40:53
FIFA also, loan someone out. If you pay a small fee to the team you loaned them to, you can get him back. Its bloody brilliant. Loan out some players to rivaling clubs and then just get them back and bugger up their transfer window.


5.) 31 Aug 2021 15:38:42
Sky sports news has reported a player has been loaned "with a recall" clause.

{Ed002's Note - How could that player be registered? They also need to read the rules then.}

On DCL I was about to agree with all those in support of him in the below thread - he feeds off limited supply and all that.

Then I looked at his xG by season for us, for his first 6 seasons his goals scored and xG were uncannily close. Even when his chances were limited before Carlo, he put away what came his way. Last 2 seasons he has 5 goals from an xG of over 15! Yes it his xG is significantly lower so he is feeding off a lower supply but he's simply not putting away even the good chances he is getting - and of the 5 goals I am pretty sure 2 were penalties!

EFCONE

1.) 13 Feb 2024 18:10:36
He is a good focal point but a very poor finisher.


2.) 13 Feb 2024 18:42:15
Is it a coincidence that in the last 2 years he as struggled with injuries and setbacks EFCONE and his own mental health resulting in him losing that scoring instinct both mentally and physically.

The lads struggling in front of goal but his playing style is key to how we set up, is Beto any better? For me we stick with Dom or change our tactics.


3.) 13 Feb 2024 19:15:47
Agree there may well be multiple reasons for the issues - I'm not saying specifically we should drop him now but from a financial standpoint we should move on the summer. Any sale would be 100% upside for FFP and since there is no way we can make back what we paid on Chermiti and Beto our only course of action is try and make them better. They won't do that on the bench.


4.) 13 Feb 2024 19:54:22
Could well be why we are sticking with him EFCONE financially, a few seasons ago we could probably commanded £50+million certainly when Carlo was here, now we struggle get £20million with his public knowledge of his injuries etc and his loss of goalscoring form his stock isn't as high, maybe the club are hoping that he gets somewhere near his best as nearing his prime and maximise a cash out with him to help FFP as decent profit margin on the £1.5million we paid for him.

Agree on Beto and Chermiti, need game time but not upto premier standards ATM, catch 22 ain't it and Dyche isn't 1 for chopping and changing all not helped by our periolous league position or exits in cup.


5.) 13 Feb 2024 21:03:16
How about playing him as a link (10) between Beto/ Chermiti/ Dobbin whoever we can get to score. Will then take pressure off and he might even score.


6.) 14 Feb 2024 13:59:22
Beto will omly be here another year maximum. He's not premiership standard by a long shot.


 

 

27 Sep 2023 08:03:24
After some thought, I really think we need to go all out in Cup tonight.

I get the league is more important sentiment, but the quickest way to change the constant negativity in the press surrounding our club is to do something worthwhile on the pitch.

Even after a good win at that weekend, the press are right back into trashing our name yet further by rehashing old stories in new ways. Let's shut them up the right way.

EFCONE

1.) 27 Sep 2023 11:33:06
Full team for me, that’s what they get paid for.


2.) 27 Sep 2023 12:35:59
Yes I agree mate, full team, good run will give the lads confidence, but Dyche will put a weak team out {his weak, not ours}.


3.) 27 Sep 2023 12:37:52
You’d be willing to take chances on DCL and Breto etc not getting injuries after what we have been through recently, our main goal must be to stay in the Premiership at all costs, this is an ideal opportunity for the likes of Dobbin, Chemiti etc to show what our second string can do, i too want us to win and progress in the competition but not at the expense of our best players, only my opinion lads.


4.) 27 Sep 2023 14:30:06
It is still only September GB and 32 league games left of the season.

Nil Satis, Nisi Optimum ??.


5.) 27 Sep 2023 15:46:38
So you want us to get beat tonight GB?


6.) 27 Sep 2023 16:06:57
Of course I don’t Blue2,we need our best Team for the Premiership we get injuries or heaven forbid a points deduction we will be up the creek just don’t think it’s worth the risk.


7.) 27 Sep 2023 18:27:07
Save players for the weekend can’t afford to get injuries to key players especially injury prone ones
Premiership survival is more important although we could do with he money, we will win whatever team he chooses today.


8.) 27 Sep 2023 18:28:27
I get your point, but quite frankly we pick up as many injuries in training as we do on the pitch, I just don't think we can afford to keep piling on negative news we desperately need positive results and stores to lift this club.


9.) 27 Sep 2023 18:37:18
We have to agree to disagree mate game of opinions eh.


10.) 27 Sep 2023 18:41:03
Yes CL gets injured going the bathroom.


11.) 27 Sep 2023 18:42:58
We are up against arguably one of the best cup managers in the world.
Beating them would be something special.


12.) 27 Sep 2023 23:36:32
Lee, the lad has scored two in two games, both important goals. Why feel the need to have a pop at him? This season he was unlucky to have a set back with that injury versus Villa you know, the one you called a black eye! Two wins back to back and we still have fans having little digs rather than celebrating a good victory on the road.

Is it possible the reason these are transitional/ interim appointments is because either no one else would do the job while investment/ ffp review is over our heads or because if investment is incoming they will want more input in the board make up.

EFCONE

1.) 23 Jun 2023 21:54:59
Someone is trying to sell up so they aren't really bothered with anything else. The skeleton crew is put together to make sure legal expectations are met, hence BK still here.


2.) 24 Jun 2023 04:12:17
Between a rock and a hard place. Moshiri wants to sell but everything he does brings the price down

Keeping Ken on doesn't help

His other yes men don't help

Him on the board when he clearly demonstrated he knows nothing about running a football club is a joke

If he thinks that this makes the club more attractive to investors he's an even bigger idiot than I first took him for.

All the comments below on a takeover, hoping for some new saviour with a football brain and more commercial sense, ask yourself this.

Who with a genuine football brain and financial common sense would spend £500m on a club in the state we are in? Verging on relegation, with an expensive stadium project, very few saleable assets and constrained by ffp.

Can’t underestimate the lure of the premier league.

Not enjoyed that first half one bit.

Diving, feigning injury, handbags out, not what we want at all.

Watching Onana jog around without a care in the world is driving me nuts.

The way I read it, the report admitted we gained no sporting advantage which for me sounds like enough grounds that we shouldn't be liable for other sides going down. If there is an argument that the timing of the PTS deduction may have impacted Leicester then surely that is a claim to make against the PL not Everton? Or have I got that all wrong?

EFCONE

{Ed002's Note - Absolutely, you have it wrong.}

And If ever there was a season with Teams bad enough that we could survive with a 12pt deduction, it's this one!

It's one of those articles. Headline is 12pt deduction, then read on and it says up to a 12pt deduction of found guilty which is a totally different thing.

I think there is misconception that 777 would be bad for our finances which I don't think is the case. They may very well be very good for our finances but at the expense of our soul and possibly even worse results on the pitch if there other clubs performance are to be believed.
Having said that, I think of all the Clubs they own Everton has the most potential upside of they can get the results on the pitch so it really is in their own interests to aim to improve us.

I think he must be referring to Mike, Rick, Vyvian and Neil - would certainly be more entertaining to watch at any rate.

Totally agree, sides in the bottom half all have ups and downs and Dyche probably has the toughest environment to work in of any manager in the prem. Personally I don't see him as our future but I would give him another season at least - we need to grow slowly and steadily.

Think it's clear that with the 1st 11 fit we can cope, we have ok cover for one or 2 injuries but when we are forced to play gomes/ Kean etc then we are in trouble.

We have better protection in midfield now, and the defense generally doesn't need quite as much help - means Gomes can hopefully play to his strengths a little more, but he was always best in games where he had time to do his thing. Will be great in some games and useless in others but if yesterday was anything to go by, it'll be like a new signing for the second half of the season.
