Everton banter 9

26 Jan 2026 20:52:58
Here we go again can't pass Pass backwards And no heart in the first half.

26 Jan 2026 21:22:18
Left back mcneill and Barry are dreadful.

26 Jan 2026 21:37:45
And Barry the Terrible scores.

26 Jan 2026 21:58:37
Well better in the second half but why do we waste 45 minutes, happens too often?

26 Jan 2026 21:59:29
I don't agree about barry i definitely think he's on the turn.

{Ed025's Note - yeah like milk thats been left on the step for a month..

26 Jan 2026 22:09:03
Couldn't jump, couldn't tackle, pissed me right off watching his Sunderland penalty, then he gets goals.

26 Jan 2026 23:53:52
Trouble is Barry was left chasing shadows with Armstrong, is it any wonder the lad gets gassed out. Agree he might not be the best striker we have ever had but the lad is scoring goals now and could still develop into a decent striker. But he needs a lot more support around him, he clearly can't do it on his own.

26 Jan 2026 20:50:58
Absolutely dreadful.

26 Jan 2026 20:31:25
I see the playing at home demons are striking again…Leeds just go and score…just what is it about us at our new stadium this season ?.

26 Jan 2026 19:59:15
Got a horrible feeling about tonight, hope i'm wrong.

26 Jan 2026 20:35:34
We’ve been really poor so far Skylark.

26 Jan 2026 20:46:47
I sometimes wonder what it would be like to have a good feeling about a game ?.

26 Jan 2026 20:49:31
Looks like you are right so far.

26 Jan 2026 20:50:34
You might be right ?.

26 Jan 2026 20:58:05
First half, Pathetic. Why are we so bad at home. Just allow the opposition to play around with the ball, one shot all first half, bloody useless. We have the chance to go to seventh with a win, better see an improvement second half.

26 Jan 2026 21:12:02
Logical. Plain to see that an awful lot of comments on here regarding scores are not based on reality of our style and form at home.

26 Jan 2026 19:26:42
We could be a point behind our neighbours with a win tonight, wonder what their Team cost compared to ours.

26 Jan 2026 19:37:53
Not bothered and it will not be as easy as you make out. Leeds are a good side. Dry January is killing me nerves are shattered.

26 Jan 2026 19:46:34
Don’t agree I think Leeds are very poor and can see them getting relegated again.

{Ed025's Note - i have seen quite a lot of them this season GB and i think they are a decent side mate..

26 Jan 2026 21:23:57
If Leeds are very poor we must be shocking.

26 Jan 2026 18:59:40
I don't believe that we should let any player leave or go out on loan this window including Armstrong. We have seen how injuries, red cards and an accumulation of yellow cards can leave us short on numbers.

Even if we recruit the badly needed right-back and striker we should keep everyone, well if by some miracle that happens maybe let Beto go but no one else.

26 Jan 2026 19:17:59
Would keep Armstrong for sure, we get £15 million for Tim would let him go mate.

26 Jan 2026 20:16:58
First 15 minutes and we don’t look good!

26 Jan 2026 21:04:15
An we look worse the second 15 mins and worse again last 15 minutes so basically we been crap for first 45 minutes.

26 Jan 2026 18:54:45
Back four stays the same with Ndiaye and McNeil out wide. Nice to see Armstrong keeps his place, Rohl a little unlucky to lose his. Actually got a strong bench with only one keeper.

26 Jan 2026 19:14:47
Exactly the team I would expect Moyes to pick. My prediction is 3-1 for us with all four goals being scored by Everton players or ex-Everton players.

26 Jan 2026 19:38:48
I will take 1-0.

26 Jan 2026 19:52:32
So would I mate.

26 Jan 2026 16:22:08
Potentially selling Tim and loaning Armstrong back out seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Basically the only position in the squad we have some depth, but we'd be putting that at massive risk.

Plus, I think Tim has huge potential and Armstrong has been one of our best players since we recalled - he doesn't need gametime in Preston, he needs it for us.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Alex..

26 Jan 2026 18:24:29
Whos idea is it, and who would ok such a thing?

26 Jan 2026 19:01:05
Well that lineup is as I called it, mind you doesn't take a genius. Just look at that bench.

26 Jan 2026 15:52:06
Marmoush bids at around 26m from Spurs and Fenerbahce. Great price that is. Give them McNeil and bring the price down to 25.5 million.

26 Jan 2026 16:48:41
Decent fee that, I guess wages would be an issue. Plus we can't offer European football at present.

26 Jan 2026 11:54:46
If Armstrong is returned to Preston, might play another 20 games, but remain at Everton, he may only get 5/6 appearances of the bench.
But if those 5/6 appearances, help you see out a game your winning 1.0, those 5/6 games and those points my be the difference between a European spot or not.


In those circumstances, it would be crazy, not to keep the player, I don't have a Cristal ball but why take the chance?

{Ed025's Note - especially with Jack being out for a good while AB..

26 Jan 2026 12:13:44
Forget sticking him on the bench, just play him.

26 Jan 2026 10:44:19
Wish we had tried for Ethan Nwaneri. Scored on his debut for Marseille over the weekend and the goal showed exactly what he would have offered. Pace, intent, composure and goals outside the box.

26 Jan 2026 11:56:55
Do we know the Club haven't tried.

26 Jan 2026 12:13:46
We are probably still looking at him but haven't made our mind up yet.

26 Jan 2026 13:11:08
Love it Dev.

26 Jan 2026 13:12:55
If we had, he would be in an Everton shirt. Able to offer him PL exp, Arteta knows the club/Moyes, almost guaranteed minutes with Jack's injury.
