Darren — George Best was still a young man when he did that — Grealish is on the way down and being the most gifted player, if he is, I think he will have to a lot more than he has done since he came here — it’s a ninety minute plus game now and Grealish never gives anything more than 30 minutes, if that, in any game.Moyes wants him, I think the majority of fans would like him to stay, I’m in a minority who wants him sent back to the club who couldn’t wait to get rid of him.

I posted the other day after the Newcastle game that you can see a side really growing in confidence, usually when we go away from home we tend to sit back for the first 10/15 minutes, but on Thursday they were at it from minute one dominating possession and territory and I cant remember doing that very often. Seems the workrate has gone through the roof and I also think we have some very good players in this squad, that are now beginning to show their potential, certainly KDH is definitely worth an England call up this Friday, could we have 4 players in the squad. Harrison and Hayden are both flourishing and bring youthful exuberance to the team. Defensively we look as good as any team. Just hope this positive play continues and we now believe we can play a more attacking style for the remainder of the season.

Thats just so typically spineless of you. You know what you were doing and so does everyone else. You`re a complete idiot who repeatedly takes the entire TW comunity for mugs. You`ve had your advice – Stop looking for me and you wont find meWho said anything about escalators ? you dont need steps to show your credentials before you enter a ground….But then you already know that dont you ? See ya Jethrine.

Can you show me where I posted George should play left back John?

He’s possibly the worst, good player that I’ve ever seen play for Everton. Surely you mean ‘he’s the best bad player’ Patric?

I agree Eric ,why did you post it?Can you post the formation that would allow George to overlap Grealish please?

Delusional.I posted a reply to Paul G.Where are the escalators please?Save my legs from walking up the “stairs”

Hahaha. You came looking for me AGAIN today. You found me AGAIN and now you are bleating AGAIN.Little tip for you – Stop seeking and you`ll stop finding. Stop finding and you can stop bleating. BTW; Stairs ???……Stop digging you fool

‘When’ Paul, as in, we ain’t paying £275k a week for him not to play.And if the Club can tell Moyes he isn’t playing, then I reckon they can tell Moyes when he is playing.

I don’t remember Ray Wilson being an attacking left back?

Spot on Derek.

That’s a stupid idea John.

20 minutes to reply.He`s on my case.Pathetic attempts to gather a group of fellow toffeewebbers to dislike me as much as he does.Schoolgirl playground tactics at best “eee look at the state of her trainers,lets all gang up on her”Cant you put your point across off your own opinion?Or do you always need back up?Worse,you make blatant lies up,you know nobody would be foolish enough to trawl back for hours like yourself to check.Get your 100 page dossier on me out,you will see what stand i sit in,you will also see i posted i paid near 3k for FOUR season tickets.An easier way for you.Post my posts today were you claim the nonsense you said i posted.The bell is about to go for assembly,you can do it at playtime.you could walk up i will show you my seat,but i`m top level,you probably cant get up all those stairs.

I’m looking forward to Friday, and that worries me!

Of course You wouldnt be stupid enough to make false claims about having a season ticket you give away every week, Paul. There`s only one postter who takes the TW comunity for fools with idiotic claims like that…..You need a good memory to be a liar. Not a head like a sieve. Maybe we should have a TW poll to see if there is a single poster who believes his repeatedly contradictory lies….Or maybe HE should arrange to meet the genuine match goer he tried to question yesterday at the next game….Some hope of that

I think logically this means GRealish needs an attacking left back behind him, and we don’t have one, so if it aint broken……..

For me KDH is our star player no matter who is on the pitch.

Grealish is, for me, the most gifted player we have. It will have been difficult for him to see that we produced our best performance of the season without him. I remember the very Great George Best was forced to sit out some Man United games. The good results achieved without him had the press proclaiming Man United were a better team without him. He came back on fire and destroyed Northampton scoring SIX.Yeah. I know. It was over half a century ago and Grealish is no George Best, but he could come back having a very similar point to prove. I wouldnt be surprised if Jack the lad has still to give his best performances in a blue shirt

If he brings Grealish back in he takes all the momentum from Monday night away.

Play George at left back Eric?

Out of order Paul.He has his decent moments on TW before the sun goes over the yard arm.Dont tell him you have a season ticket though

Agreed Josh, could be a North East double for the drop, the Manager in his presser seemed out of ideas.

Completely agree Paul. Gives off all the wrong signals if he comes straight back in. If it’s not broken then don’t fix it, I believe you should never change a winning team. Bizarrely and based on the last two performances this could turn into a blessing in disguise.

Grealish-Gate has done one the thing that many thought nearly impossible – it made Moyes change his mind, look at other options.So big money or no, he’s now at the bottom of the totem pole, he has to sit on the bench and wait for George to get tired or injured.

‘When’ Eric mate? We are better off without him. Grealish should not walk back into our starting XI. We play better without him; our midfield core don’t need him: HH, TG, HA, KDH, JG, MR. Focus Moyes on that core for the rest of the season.

I learned that we do not need our resident unreliable drunk; that we are better off without him; that our two best performances so far this season were without him; that we must now concentrate on the midfield core of the last two games (HH, KDH, JG, HA, TG, and MR); and that there is no way in the world that the luxury lottery Grealish should walk back into our starting XI Mr. Moyes

Dibling with Rohl behind him at Home?Rohl with O’Brien behind him away?Garner, KDH & Hackney at Home?Garner, Armstrong & KDH Away?

“Everton showed what they can achieve if the players do what the manager asks of them.” – when Moyes finally decided what that was, after having his mind made up for him by Grealish-Gate

When Grealish comes back we should use George to overlap him on the left touchline, he put in some good crosses against Newcastle.

If barry had an all round game and could score goals, he would be gone in a flash.Me, i am just enjoying seeing a kid develop. He is raw, gangly, has no left foot, was misguided with his mates at Arsenal, needs better security arrangements, but is scorung, assisting, passing the ball & holding it up better.He should get 20 this season, and it’s not very often an Everton fan can say thst.

Newcastle are terrible. Relegation a possibility.

Agree to all of that. He’s very good at getting the most from a small group of hard working players but he can only take them so far. In that sense he has fit us perfectly for the largely lean times during which he has been the Everron manager.Apalling record against the top teams, utterly dismal cup stats and a high proportion of very boring football. If Everton want to continue their long modern history as a footballing irrelevance, he’s your man.

spot on derek –‘what would everton do ? ‘ one of blue bills infamous anecdotes !

There’s something wrong at the Club alright. The Owners want out and even before that decision was known we apparently had a transfer committee that spent all day vetoing each others choices.The ‘Chairman’s side of the Committee’ seemed to pursue wish list players the Coach didn’t rate – and consequently wouldn’t play.Selling Ndaiye seems a pure balance sheet jobMoyes always said he had the final say though.To this day nobody will actually admit to paying £40 Mill for Dibling, or selling Beto then trying and failing thank god to sign another £40 mill. Injured forward who’s only just started playing.Nobody will admit to Twice paying City £250,000? a week to take one of their problems of their hands.Moyeses addiction to favourites, Sq pegs, KITAP1 & his top 4 record seem only minor problems now that post Grealish-Gate, he’s (finally) stumbled on a winning formula Vs our fellow mid table teams.Oh and we have rumours of a 2yr extension too.As always – more questions than answers

Anthony Barry linked with the Palace job.

Agree Dale, its not often we want Manure to win.

Everton have also found a new villain, Fuck you Roma!

Mark in all fairness, no matter how well Barry is doing, we definitely can’t rely on ONE STRIKER, i know we still need a right back, but we have cover there, even if not a natural fullback, but another striker is our no.1 priority.

Pete, in his first spell Moyes is said to have had fantastic players like Yakubu, Cahill, Arteta, Baines, etc yet we still fell short against the Sky teams and never averaged many goals per season. I have rarely been entertained by his teams, though that can be said for many of our managers’ teams before and since.Moyes is a defence focussed manager, no matter what players he has available. And clearly prefers older players when he has a choice in the matter. These are the reasons I haven’t wanted him as manager since about 2006.

Barry, is scoring goals, but his all round game is still miles away from what is required, imo. The one thing that doesn’t surprise me is that when a young player keeps getting picked because he has got no competition in his position, the chances are that if he his prepared to put the work in, then he has got a great chance of really improving. Keep up the good work Thierno.👏👏

Seriously Mark? Even If Barry was a mixture of Henry & Bergkamp, I think that it is very foolish to even contemplate going through the whole season, with only one centre forward, in our squad, especially in a league as physically demanding as the EPL, mate

With players like Rohl, George, Hackney & Dibling, it’s been more exciting to watch. At least the small squad has forced Moyes to give minutes to these lads. UTFT!

Hard to teach the instincts he has to be in the right place at the right time and get on the end of stuff.He can improve on his touch & his finishing, composure comes with experience too .He also looks so much stronger than last year, could be hard to play against if he keeps getting stronger.He’s missed more big chances than alot of strikers that people would want, but they are not sniffing out them chances to miss them, haaland is next on the misses list, which says something.

The fight in them started when Tarks done two Newcastle players on his own imo.You could see how it galvanised the troops last night.

Exactly, Dale. Let’s hold off on the victory parade for now! lol

I said Barry months ago Barry will be in the top 3 strikers in.2 seasons .Well it might be before that relentless worker going up against 2 men every game and still having golden moments.Everton fc problem is by january Barry will have between 15 and 20 goals if he stays fit so how can anyone take his place they can’t.If cash is available go and finally find a top RIGHT BACK and get our defence spot on i believe this should be priority.

-2 for both of you, HA! How dare you not genuflect to the Ginger genius. It was Newcastle, so let’s not get carried away. Yes, it was good, and perhaps low on expended effort. That is a valuable thing this season. Do Coventry and we will talk about getting Dave a big mitre or something extravagant.

I learned if Tierno scores on Friday he is a one in two striker.

Squawka’s analysis of last night’s game address some of my feelings about things: “By no means was this an aesthetically pleasing game, with both sides having their in-possession struggles. But Everton navigated them much better than Newcastle, feeling a lot more comfortable with the ball.” I’m not sure about Everton being comfortable on the ball though, that’s the last thing they look like to me. It’s all panic and chaos and creating havoc, somehow preventing goals against with last-ditch blocks, while hoping to benefit from largely random fine-margin stuff up front. Yes, they are putting in the effort. But that is just a given for me. You’re a multi-millionaire footballer… the least that can be expected is that you put the effort in. A bit of magic now and again… that’s what I really want to see.

Hahahah. Tarkowski led the show at the back…..His defiance in the face of wave after wave of Newcastle attacks reminded me of just how good Jarrad is. Cant wait to see what Tarks is like when he comes up against teams that do attack, Like Hull. Arseeanl….Chelsea. He`ll soon learn that lot
