Everton Banter Archive April 30 2018

Fickle fans as per usual. get so fed up of the constant moaning from our fans if it wasn't Allardyce it would be someone else getting it.
From a dreadful position we are safe and almost achieved European football.
I don't particularly like Allardyce but we could have been in a lot worse position. if he moves on he should be able to do so with some level of dignity and respect as he has done what was asked of him. if he stays just get behind the club. could be a summer of positive transition or another false dawn - but isn't that why we are evertonians?

Big Sam or no Sam, the next season starts in less than 14 weeks. Everton plays onwards and upwards. Think of the next two games as the beginning of pre-season.

Stop the belly aching and fist shaking folks, we've been all making ourselves miserable. At the end of the day, this is supposed to be fun.

Good sensible take on things gents totally agree.

Are yous blind we are still terrible.

before everyone who wanted fonseca starts panicking at the column that balague has wrote in the express saying he has rejected us as arsenal are interested, firstly I really don't think he'll be arsenal manager, if you believe him go and stick a tenner on it as he has odds of 50-1 that will help numb the pain! and second I honestly think this guy is one of the worst sources out there gets 50% of his shouts correct.

30 Apr 2018 15:51:00
50% is by far the best strike rate of any footy journo.

for the title he has as an ITK European football expert, he's terrible fatchris.

Why would everton only approach Fonseca now? Surely if they wanted him the approach would have come weeks if not months ago.
As Ed02 said, he is on their list but by no means is he 1st choice. Surely his agent will know that.

He's also mostly pretty passive aggressive toward Eng clubs. got a chip on his shoulder. Often tries to make stories from nothing.

Part of me hopes these fables will be enough to spring FM into action to secure a new boss.

All feels doomed after the claims from BS.

New Kit looks boss, just hope we can actually deliver something in it!

30 Apr 2018 13:42:13
If it’s delivered by Allardyce, then it should get a big fat “return to sender”!

Just watched the video for the new kit release though it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I really like the new kit I heard everything that was said and thought none of it is true if Sam is still here next season what do you guys think.

30 Apr 2018 11:41:32
The new kit looks so much better than this years atrocity!
supposed to be worn in the Southampton game.

30 Apr 2018 13:47:27
If only the “in with the new” of wearing the new kit against Southampton was matched by the “out with the old” of Allardyce being removed :-)

Can any of the Eds shed any light on what the situation is with Klassen?
I think Davis has struggled with his pass accuracy this season, Rooney hasn't set the world alight the last 5-6 games, Bolassie - I know a different position but he;s not been worth his place
The last I heard Klassen was putting in the effort in training, not throwing tantrums like Schneiderlin and Miralles did, but Klassen seems to be no where near the matchday squad.

Are we just looking to sell him at a loss in the summer? If we do I'm scared he will come back to haunt us.

{Ed001's Note - I am told Sam just hasn't been all that impressed with him. He doesn't have the pace and workrate of Davies or the experience of Schneiderlin and Rooney, Sam particularly likes experience. The lad got his head down and worked but has struggled to adjust to the tempo of the Prem. Right now there is no plan to sell him but I would not be surprised if they were open to listening to offers. Playing as an attacking midfielder in the Prem seems to be a bit much for him. He was described as being like Xavi in his younger days, so a deeper role may suit him better, but he needs to become more physical to cope with the Prem in that role and it takes time to develop.}

I think, as you said, he got his head down and worked but we haven't then given him the opportunity to adjust to the tempo of the Prem. No games, virtually no squad inclusions and not even U23 matches except one. I don't think you can adapt with just training and in-house matches.
He was captain of Ajax so no mug and as I said previously our current midfield hasn't covered themselves in glory this season. I would be surprised if he didn't move and prove us wrong.

{Ed001's Note - I do agree with you, but the managers are paid to take these decisions, so they have to go with what they think is best.}

30 Apr 2018 10:23:33
So lack of pace? And of course Schneiderlin and Rooney have that in spades😂
Guy should be given a go in the last few games. Send Rooney on holiday, rest Davies and give Klassen and Beni a go in midfield. What possible harm could is do.

30 Apr 2018 11:11:37
It could cost the club a significant amount if we loose both fixtures and drop down to 10th.

30 Apr 2018 13:06:18
But could possibly save us millions in the transfer market.
I'm of the same mind as Woburnblue, unless fringe players are given a chance the club will never know their capabilities.
Remember Moyes shipping out Dier and Mustafa without giving them a chance.

30 Apr 2018 15:14:25
Mmm? Sa90 are you also known as Fat Sam? 🤔.

30 Apr 2018 16:45:29
No just answering the post with logic. Don't have a problem if either are played but that wasn't then question.
