• Given our 2024/2025 net loss was £8.6 million, I am guessing there was headroom on the 2025/2026 P&L until TFG extracted £44 million as a dividend payment in December.rnrnPerhaps TFG don\'t want us to make Europe this season, although the manager obviously does. It will enable them to spend 85% of football-related revenue and net profit/loss from player sales rather than the 70% UEFA will permit.rnrnPlus if you qualify for the conference league we will need to bolster squad numbers, which means volume over quality when it comes to recruitment....
  Steve Brown in Everton's missed opportunities
• We never really had an answer for the striker, who licks his lips, every time he plays against us earlier in the season either mate, when we played with the same defensive pairing.rnrnThen one of them got injured and we had to move our right back into his proper position and suddenly the game changed.rnrnMateta, suddenly stopped missing chances, and Everton, started playing higher up the pitch and getting after Crystal Palace. People claimed they were tired because they had been playing in Europe, but others were more interested in watching us suddenly beginning to play on the front foot.rnrnI think the answer that day was already on the pitch?...

  Eric Myles in Moyes insists Everton ‘not out of it yet’ in race for Europe despite latest setback
• Paul Tarkowski had another Weston mate. Took his goal well. Very well in fact, those chances are not as easy as they look. Take a look at the first Palace goal. yes keane's clearance was very weak and he has rightly taken plenty of stick for it...But look at Tarkowski's contribution. he retreats to his go to position (right in front of the keeper) and if you slow down the progress you will see it his deflection which takes it past Pickford. Then look at the second goal. That's his ball. Thats why center halves take up that position. He got his positioning right, but he shows the lateral movement of a 40 ft wagon. then he turns his back. He was lucky he didnt give them a third. Mateta was licking his lips when he came on. Previous encounters between the two have shown he is bigger, faster and stronger. Here's the thing. Both players knew it and it was no surprise when despite having a big advantage, Tarkowski was out-paced, out-muscled and put on his arse. An embarrass...

• Mike G, it had better be a whole lot of dry powder that TFG have stored up (unlike Guy Fawkes) since we now need three defenders and a striker at least, and a winger wouldn\'t go amiss.rnrnMakes you wonder if that £40m payday TFG paid themselves couldn\'t have helped find someone available....
