Great to see Johnson come on and make an impact tonight. He seems a really decent and polite young lad.
The difference in raw pace he offers to anyone else in the team give us a really decent option to utilise.
That being said, gun to my head, I think I would still rather have McNeil!
26 Aug 2026 23:11:20
Great win tonight, made up for Barry, he’s looking more of a goal poacher than anything else, which is fine, when he’s on goal or 20 yards out he doesn’t seem to have a clue but finishing crosses and interchanges he’s your man, his movement tonight was really good.
Moyes has said he doesn’t think there will be any more new signings, I hope that’s a bluff and he’s really trying to apply the pressure, as we do really have the makings here of something special if we can just put the last few pieces in the jigsaw.
26 Aug 2026 22:58:13
Moyes interview after the game. Asked whether he feels they will be able to get players in before the window closes: "I'm not sure we will but it's not for the want of trying that's for sure."
Why doesn't that fill us with confidence!. I sincerely hope he's being coy and keeping his cards close to his chest.
I've said on here before that I'm neither for or against Moyes, but recently his gob has gone into gear without thinking!
If that interview response is sincere then it doesn't look good for more signings. I hope it's not obviously.
Wonderful!
26 Aug 2026 23:27:00
Blue blood, surely his interview is a positive thing.
He's trying to get the powers that be to move.
We aren't offering enough to clubs or players and that seems obvious.
He seems to be getting the blame for Everton not identifying a new right back for the last 4/5 years when he wasn't even here.
Last season he stated Everton should be a club that is challenging and that seems to be forgotten.
Let's get behind the manager and players for once.
26 Aug 2026 22:47:56
With what is happening at Villa, the mass exodus of players, etc., we should see if Emery wants a change of scenery. Give him the keys to the castle. He has done wonders at that club since he took over. I feel sorry for him that his good work keeps getting undone.
26 Aug 2026 22:38:15
Wolves at home next. Hopefully he learns from last season and goes full strength.
26 Aug 2026 22:33:57
Just watching the 3rd draw and I think that teams in Europe can't play against each other is a load of nonsense.
Unless I'm being Stupid would this solution work?
They draw round 1&2&3 at the same time.
If the teams in Europe get drawn against each other when they enter in round 3 can't they just play their 3rd round game when round 2 is on and then play in round 4 when everyone else does?
Am I missing something and then at least no one gets an advantage?
26 Aug 2026 22:48:54
Sounds very complicated and also I like draw when you don't know who you are getting - drawing 3rd round on day 1 spoils the draw for me.
26 Aug 2026 23:03:19
I know it's to avoid fixture congestion, but it also feels wrong that a couple of so called big sides avoid each other.
No tasty Manchester derby possible.
26 Aug 2026 21:31:38
I don't care who the opposition is, if for example.. Kroupi Jnr from Bournemouth was scoring like this would be raving about him. Let's give Thierno the credit he deserves for how he has started this season.
26 Aug 2026 21:51:50
Four goals, one assist in two games.
{Ed025's Note - have we had it wrong all this time?.. :)
26 Aug 2026 21:56:34
Absolutely, three goals, no complaints. It was great to see us doing so much attacking and quick passing. Looking forward to the Bournemouth game.
{Ed025's Note - me too Mike..
26 Aug 2026 21:59:37
Looks like we have ed 🤣🤣🤣
26 Aug 2026 22:08:31
He was awesome today. His movement has improved massively, yes, he's a big, clumsy oaf at times, but he's scoring goals, which is his job.
Armstrong, by the way, looks like a £100m player in the making.
26 Aug 2026 22:09:02
I'm not sure what people are judging him on this season, yes, he was horrendous last season, but give the lad credit, he's scoring, that's all you can ask. I remember we used to slate Lukaku for having the touch of an elephant, but Barry is getting better, I don't care what anyone says, but let's hope he can keep it going.
26 Aug 2026 22:09:45
The lad has started well and looks a lot better.
His goal against Palace was going out for a throw in, and 2 goals tonight were 5 yards out and open net; however, his movement to get in the space for both was probably the most promising thing about the goals. The other one he showed good instinct to get the rebound, and the assist was meant for Ndiaye.
There was a moment where he was played in on the edge of their box and 1v1 with the last defender.
He didn't attempt to get at his man and drive in the box, instead he had a tame effort straight at the keeper.
It is much better for us that he is scoring goals, of course, but he has a long way to go before I change my opinion that he is the answer to our no9 problems.
They were shocking tonight, we can't forget that.
26 Aug 2026 22:25:33
He's not on the wing and playing centrally. It's no surprise that if you get in and around the six yard box, you get more goals.
Let's give him credit where it is due but remember it was against a championship side. He said at the start of the season he wanted to work harder and write off last season - looks like he's trying.
Still think we need another striker, RB and LB (and a cover CB if Job goes) . Thought we looked good on the wings and Johnson's pace was blistering.
Do we resign Grealish? I'm not sure.
26 Aug 2026 22:34:04
The lad will never win it. We can find fault when he scores a hat trick. If it was Barry rather than Ndiaye who was through in goal and never even got a shot off, he would be getting even more pelters.
Ndiaye should have scored, and it was poor from him, but nobody calls it Gary Lineker for scoring most of his goals in the six yard box.
26 Aug 2026 22:50:29
I'm still not convinced by Barry, but one thing is certain, he's pushed Beto out from starting. I now pray we sell Beto for what we paid and get another striker in.
God forbid Moyes ever plays 2 up front!
I'd be happy with our preferred choice at rb Guela Doue and a loan striker, maybe Jesus, who is a clinical forward.
26 Aug 2026 22:51:14
Gary Lineker was a top level finisher on a consistent basis.
No one is finding fault and has given him credit for tonight. They just refuse to get carried away when he scores a few tap-ins against a very bad Championship side. It is simply a bit of context.
26 Aug 2026 23:05:35
Good post BluePasty, I feel the same, you want your striker to score and he's doing it, so keep it up, Barry! 💙💙💪🏼💪🏼
26 Aug 2026 21:30:49
Moyes out.
26 Aug 2026 22:07:59
No, we just wanted him to change his tactics from the defensive crap we saw last season, and going by the first two games he has. No good debating the reasons, but now we have some exciting young players who can get us off our seats, and, more importantly, win games and long may it continue.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely Mike..
26 Aug 2026 20:59:43
65 million for Jackson to Villa. You’d have to think there’s shenanigans at play. 😂😂😂😂😂
26 Aug 2026 20:32:13
COYB Enjoying us go for it, usually we sit back in these type of games.
26 Aug 2026 21:31:09
Can someone tell me when we last cruised into the 3rd round of the EFL Cup?
26 Aug 2026 22:52:18
It was 1912, I remember it well.
