In January, I posted saying I thought we should have thrown caution to the wind and looked to bring another 2 or 3 in to the squad as this would be the best chance we'd have of breaking into the top 4. It's going to be so tight - realistically still 6 or 7 teams pushing for 3rd and 4th spot.
There's no doubt that all of the teams will drop points, just need to hope we can steer clear of injuries and that Carlo can keep he lads on track, believing they can do it. Must beat the baggies in Thursday! COYB!

Going forward - if we sign Aarons (or someone similar) our defence seems covered forca number of years.
If Pickford plays like he has last couple of games we have a world class keeper
Forward - Richarlison, DCL, King, Simm +- Kean in comparable to best in league

Gbamin, Davies, Decore, Allan seem good centre midfield options

James / Sigi / Gomes - they need to be addressed - especially if James not staying. Wait Maxime at NUFC is someone who would be for sale - he’s young and tries very hard - better option than Zaha.

Like pickford has played last 2 games? He was excellent in the derby, but most certainly not excellent in the saints game. You will point to the great save he made late on - the majority of goalkeepers in the prem would not have made that save. Why? Simple - because they would have caught the cross, drama free, that he flapped at directly leading to the chance. It wasn't the only time he flapped at a cross either. In the derby I thought, somewhat unusually, he was excellent with crosses. But sadly it is an entirely different story when he is under pressure. I don't dispute he is a decent shot stopper, but if he did the basics right he would have a lot less shots to save.

77.8 distribution rate - Pickford started the Everton goal. 2 clean sheets in a row

I’d take this.

We'll have to agree to disagree on his performance in the saints game. He looked an accident waiting to happen to me, but credit where its due on the occasion when his mistake directly led to an easy chance he redeemed himself by keeping it out. He's already cost us a lot of points this season but as I say I do agree that he's a decent enough shot stopper so maybe if he suddenly develops the ability to dominate his box in a calm manner he will be a decent keeper!

As a staunch evertonian of some 35 years living in Leeds i can't imagine me ever doing this again. I may get stick from some on here but here goes RIP Ian St John i grew up watching saint and greavsie when we could and would regularly give our red neighbours a good tonking great days in my early football supporting years.

02 Mar 2021 11:44:51
No problem Toffbwoy, he was part of the fun of rivalry with my mates as kids mate, Reds and Blues playing on the park jumpers for goalposts and so on '


RIP Ian StJohn.

02 Mar 2021 12:19:27
Good shout Toff. Might have played in red but was a proper player. Got to like him when he retired, he gave out medals to us at a local final I played in. I walked up with my Everton shirt on and he just laughed and called me a cheeky bugger.
Him and Greavsie put the Sky mob to shame. Loved that show.

02 Mar 2021 14:50:18
I didn't see him play as only born in late 70's but loved Staint and Greavie growing up.

02 Mar 2021 15:20:06
Nothing wrong with that mate he was a top man.

02 Mar 2021 15:26:49
Very sad to see him passing so young, I have to say that since I am one year younger than him. Watched him often, didn't like him too much then but hope he RIP.

03 Mar 2021 11:27:27
Cannot see why anyone would dislike Ian St, John, may have played for our neighbours, but was a very decent bloke, both on and off the field, agree with others, Saints and Greavie were a joy to watch, r. I. p.

03 Mar 2021 14:54:40
Didn't like any of the Liverpool players when they played us, nothing personnel, just one of those things.

02 Mar 2021 10:51:25
Nigel Reo-Coker is having a wobble comparing Richarlison to Ronaldo who Carlo has managed both being Brazilian 😂 when did Ronaldo change from Portuguese?
And then he talks about Jordan Henderson in goal for us, did correct himself there eventually 😂😂.

02 Mar 2021 11:30:53
He also said richarlison scored a great goal against Everton 😁.

02 Mar 2021 11:39:51
Not read it, but CA did manage Brazilian Ronaldo as well. Albeit towards the end of his career.

02 Mar 2021 12:21:27
Is that the fat baldy Ronaldo opposed to the tanned toned Ronaldo😂
To be fair both great goal scorers.

02 Mar 2021 12:43:22
Nothing wrong with fat and baldy as I tell the wife 😁.

02 Mar 2021 13:50:45
BB, fat and bald is the new toned and tanned. Well, it's that way in my house!

02 Mar 2021 15:21:34
Ricktee your wife took it as a compliment 🤣.

I think the Derby win has come at the right time in our season. There's a belief in the team. A massive psychological boost for us. We now know we can beat the best in their own backyard and that carried on into the game last night. We should go to West brom and pick up 3 points comfortably on Thursday. I'm not going to say typical everton to lose the game because I don't think this team is "typical everton" anymore. We look strong enough to have a good run in now. We are full strength. We have found our feet just at the right point in the season. I'm not going to throw predictions round either. We have too much for West brom and they will play a game suited to our game plan. I believe once we are in that top 4 we will have the better chance of staying there than the teams around us. Coyb.

02 Mar 2021 15:23:40
West Brom exploited our weakness in playing Rodrigues down our right. We cannot make the same mistake again.

02 Mar 2021 21:35:24
We beat them 5-2 and James scored a brace.

03 Mar 2021 11:23:29
Lets hope they exploit us again and we win by 3 and James gets a hat-trick 😂.
