  Andrew Ellams in “I’m good enough”: Branthwaite sets sights on England place under Tuchel
• Good on Barry, for working hard, I hope his hard work pays off.rnrnI was going to add perseverance, but let’s face it the only reason anyone would talk about perseverance is because of the disgraceful situation that has left a professional football club, totally bereft of any other centre forward.rnrnAn absolutely shameful and ridiculous situation especially when you think about the people who sanctioned £27 million, to sign a player that has mostly looked like a fish out of water.rnrnKeep working hard Tierno, I genuinely hope you succeed and every time you’re feeling down just think about the unbelievable opportunity you have been given to succeed ...
  Tony Abrahams in Everton’s underlying numbers show the attack is getting better
• Way too early to draw any conclusions from stats or our season so far. We were doing well for much of last season until the wheels came off and Moyes refused to do anything about it. That said, I’m pleased with our start but we’ve been here before. I do expect TFG may be forced to make a signing in January though, to provide cover for Barry. But I definitely don’t expect two £40m players coming in. rnrnWhat will be interesting is what happens if we do somehow qualify for Europe or win a cup, the latter being very unlikely I know!rnrnWill TFG be so determined to call time on Moyes’s tenure then, as suggested? I wouldn’t be so sure about that. ...

  Ian Horan in “I’m good enough”: Branthwaite sets sights on England place under Tuchel
• Adam @ 44, so when we can\'t play joined together football it\'s the managers fault. We don\'t create enough chances or score enough goals because the players can\'t do it often enough. Why do you think the most successful clubs are paying £100m + for players.rnrnDo I think managers can influence a game, yes they obviously can, but can they increase a mature players ability, the juries out on that one.rnHow many managers have we tried in the last 30 years to no avail, to keep thinking a new manager will make us successful is pie in the sky.rnrnIt\'s a comforting thought, but then you run into the reality that most probably we will have to somehow spend a lot more money for players than we do to get some joy....

• Brian (86) Hear, Hear Brian that’s the way football used to be before Television introduced money into the game and a new sport was born with rules changing all the time and VAR bringing there own perspective on these rules and contradicting themselves every week with how they use them.rnrnTerry Venables wrote a book “ They used to play on grass” - Well teams used to play fair and square, mostly! Now it’s win any way you can and players are praised for the amount of professional fouls they can win - - trouble is fans call it cheating when players of other clubs gain these professional fouls! ...
