Sarri is the new name for Manager, who is next "the special one"?
1.) 25 Sep 2024 12:12:15
Sure that will infuriate the Roma fans even more to Friedkin.
Mind you sure local shops near ground would do ok when he calls in for his fags! ??.
2.) 25 Sep 2024 13:25:59
why would it bother the Roma fans? because he's ex-Lazio?
3.) 25 Sep 2024 14:16:49
Exactly!
4.) 26 Sep 2024 19:46:26
Means nothing, we took on Benitez .

Anybody see the Under 21's today? Evidently Branthwaite played well including an acrobatic kick off the line at the end of the match. Should be ready for next game.
1.) 23 Sep 2024 00:42:54
Patterson played very well also I heard. Played 60 mins I think and Branthwaite played full 90 mins.
2.) 23 Sep 2024 09:13:19
Did Young come on for Patterson?
3.) 23 Sep 2024 10:32:36
??? made my Monday a but better.
4.) 23 Sep 2024 11:15:30
Love it?.
21 Sep 2024 14:48:35
Well, Young and Keane playing, we can only pray and hope that they can play better than the last four games. Dixon and O'Brien on the bench. Just proves that SD will not try anything new!
1.) 21 Sep 2024 15:47:24
Wrong he has 3 of the new ones playing, stop moaning just for the sake of moaning, Kean didn't do anytging wrong in most of the games he's played in this season, yet still people can't change the record, why aren't people hanging out gueue he's been useless, what about Harrison he's been rubbish, it's always the same stuck record, obviously he isn't playing them. as they aren't ready, he doesn't just not play them so he looks bad.
2.) 21 Sep 2024 17:05:08
Because Keane and young are playing in a defense that has let in 10 plus goals. Anybody and everybody can see they're not up to premier league standard.
3.) 21 Sep 2024 17:06:31
Have you watched Keane he's been beyond awful and just like yourself everyone is entitled to an opinion.
4.) 21 Sep 2024 17:10:32
OK tell me how many winning games Keane has been in over the last two seasons. Also tell me why we sign an expensive center-half to leave him on the bench. Once again we don't capitalize on a winning position. You are deluded if you believe either Keane or Young are up to premiership standard. We have let in 14 goals over five games and you tell me Keane has done nothing wrong, the whole defense is a mess.
5.) 21 Sep 2024 17:19:32
We only had 7 or 8 subs and two of those were goalkeepers. So Everton that.
6.) 21 Sep 2024 17:19:43
He was crap in the last one.
7.) 21 Sep 2024 17:24:13
He didn't do anything wrong in most of the games we've played?
He's been terrible. He has the worst defensive record of any defender we've had since he joined.
Statistically we concede more with him in our defence. Give him a reprieve because he's been OK for 4 games and terrible for the rest of his Everton career.
Please remember He's been in a defence that has conceded 14 in 5 games.
8.) 21 Sep 2024 19:28:38
Historically one of our worst defenders, but ironically one of our best strikers if his career had gone just a little differently.
17 Sep 2024 19:13:25
I guess Keane is undroppable! Don't we have any young center-halves in the Under 21 side that we could play?
1.) 17 Sep 2024 19:27:53
Think we loaned them out BM.
02 Sep 2024 12:50:58
I know that he is interim England Head Coach but that presumably is only temporary, so how about Lee Carsley for our next Manager? Young, not old school, knows the young players, is a good coach and has good management skills according to reports and has a good reputation!
1.) 02 Sep 2024 13:57:17
I have been thinking about this too. I’ll be interested in the performance of the England team for the games he’s in charge.
2.) 02 Sep 2024 14:07:20
Me too I like the cut of his job. He's done very well so far and obviously has a couple of games. Hopefully he does well and gives the FA a real dilemma. He is the proper choice for the England job because that's what the entire St Georges park project is all about. But if fan power forces the FA to look for a big name, we should definitely give the guy a call.
3.) 02 Sep 2024 14:14:51
It is a good, sensible suggestion BM. Certainly fits the type we should be looking for.
4.) 02 Sep 2024 16:10:09
I am full of good sensible suggestions Scottish Toffee, problem nobody including the television listens. During the game the other day I was screaming for Dixon and O'Brien to be brought on put to no avail. I am just wasting my time and bringing my blood pressure up to unhealthy levels. At 84 you would think that I would have more sense!
5.) 02 Sep 2024 17:23:53
Hahaha its easily done. It is incredibly frustrating watching the club you love make bad decision after bad decision. and get payed millions to do it. Here's hoping for some more positive times ahead.
6.) 03 Sep 2024 01:54:55
I suggested carsley last season when we wanted rid of SD and got slated because he doesn't have any experience in the premier league. oh how time's change lol ? ? I actually put £20 on him being are nxt manager and got 40.1 so I hope we do get him the under 21s play decent football and he only has a week or so with them to get how he wants to play. so how come SD has been in charge for 20 months and we are a shambles still. ?????.
31 Aug 2024 14:06:13
SD and Keane, a match made in Heaven? or Hell?
I guess O'Brien is not ready for the Premier League.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 14:21:00
I’ve just asked the same question, Blue Mike. I’m baffled by SD sometimes.
I get loyalty, but that should never come at the team’s detriment.
I’d also ask if that makes O’Brien fourth choice centre half then?
2.) 31 Aug 2024 14:39:25
Well remember last year Benny when Keane played the first few games and Branthwaite was on the bench? SD just does not lean, stubborn to the extent that he should not be in a management position.
3.) 31 Aug 2024 14:54:13
Totally agree with you there mate!
4.) 31 Aug 2024 15:54:47
Pointless dropping Keane for this game when he's played OK so far this season, obviously I'd prefer he was on the bench tho. When were going into the international break and will be playing behind closed doors friendlies to give the likes of dele, O'brien, mangala Dixon and jesper etc runs out. I fully expect a massive improvement after that break.
5.) 31 Aug 2024 17:42:20
Pointless dropping Keane when he's been playing ok? We've been hammered in our first 2 prem games where he is centre back. He is rubbish and I'm sure every opposition team target him as a weak link.
6.) 31 Aug 2024 19:53:20
That was really funny Anom. We have conceded ten (10) goals in three games for fecks sake.
7.) 31 Aug 2024 22:48:07
How many of them were from errors by Keane? Pretty much the whole team were poor. I'm happy to criticise players if needs be, but I'm not going to single out 1 player because everyone else does. Pickford gifted spurs a goal, why mot single him out and call for him to be dropped?
12 Oct 2024 21:08:39
Some of you guys either have short memories or are too young but didn't one of our former players become one of our best managers with more trophies than any of the so called big shot managers of late? Howard Kendall is his name. I don't know if Carsley is the answer but rather have him than Fonseca or Jose. We need a young manager with passion for the club, one who has up to date coaching skills and one who has knowledge of the young players around the leagues who we could recruit for reasonable cost. Unfortunately non of us will do the picking so we could well end up with another costly has-been.
05 Oct 2024 11:54:05
Thanks Ed025 mate, what I do know is that Keane is not premier league ready. Well as usual, regardless of who plays, I will have my Everton jersey on and be yelling for the blues, we need a win and against Newcastle and Gordon, it will be even more satisfying.
{Ed025's Note - i think we are all the same Mike, we dont always agree with Dyche on his team but once they cross that white line we are all rooting for them mate, im not a fan of Young or Keane but once they wear that blue shirt i am praying for them to do well (actually Young has done well the last 2 games), a win today would be massive but they are a decent team and a draw would not be the end of the world i feel mate...i just want us to move up the league so i can breathe easy and enjoy my golf tomorrow without my red mates giving me stick.. :)
05 Oct 2024 00:08:50
Ed025 Well we see Keane game after game and he is useless and the statistics tell us that if he plays we have a good chance of losing. Not sure what we have to lose in giving O'Brien a chance. If you remember SD said the same thing about JB last season and played Keane with the same losing results, when he was pretty well forced into playing JB things turned around.
{Ed025's Note - yeah i agree BM and im not condoning the selection process of Sean mate, im just saying why i think he will play Keane, he actually said Iliman was not premier league ready a few weeks ago and he has been probably our best player..
04 Oct 2024 21:47:01
Well one would hope so GB but SD has to shown any willingness to use him over Keane. Can't really see why we bought O'Brien if you prefer to use a player like Keane who has shown time after time that he is not good enough.
03 Oct 2024 19:35:14
OH God, not Keane again. Last season Keane played nine league games, we lost seven of them. This season he played five league games we lost four of them.
05 Oct 2024 19:52:29
Well a point is better than non but we have 33% possession at home, give the ball away constantly and run around like headless chickens. Can't wait to get rid of this Manager. Yes we should have had a penalty but we should not have to rely on refs decisions, we have to play better, play to win rather than not to lose and play some decent football and that will not happen under this charlatan.
{Ed025's Note - hes on borrowed time Mike...i hope..
02 Oct 2024 20:51:45
Everton Arena or Everton Stadium. Let's keep the name Everton, that's who we are!
29 Sep 2024 19:35:12
Well the problem is dentielad that the club was run into the ground not Moshiri (who presumably is still a billionaire) so Kenwright being chairman with all that boys pen stuff should have raised cane or resigned. It was not just Kenwright but the whole board who were happy to take their millions and look the other way.
29 Sep 2024 15:30:56
I don't believe anyone could be as bad as Moshiri. However the problem with Moshiri was that he had poor advisors and people at the club, possibly Kenwright who were the ones that dished out the ridiculous wages and contracts to mediocre players. Hopefully Freidkin will have better football advisors and people running the club who can identify young talent and put an end to these ridiculous pay and contracts to players who are past their best and/ or no good.
28 Sep 2024 17:50:41
Yes thank the Lord! I couldn't watch the final ten minutes since my blood pressure hit the roof. Two great goals from McNeill.
