Jordan will not be England’s #1 five years from now. Not sure who it will be, but it will not be JP.

Oh, we got us a classic quote for the ToffeeWeb Hall of Falsehoods:

James Tarkowski — someone who is slow, over-aggressive, liable to make uncontrolled tackles, and get sent off.

That’s brilliant, John. Tarky never sent off in how many games???

‘… garner and dewsbury hall outstrip anyone tuchel picks’.

Complete twaddle is the kind word for this.

Erm: ‘He seems to have a mental block regarding Everton players’.

Pickford. Is selecting Everton players a ‘mental block’? Is bringing them on as subs a ‘mental block’?

File under ‘Amb: Ridiculous’.

Croatia have Nikola Vlašić, former Blue, playing under Slaven Bilic, former Blue.

I was struggling with some unpaid bills and financial stress for years, and I was constantly wondering how people are able to win the lottery so big because I sometimes play the lottery but never won any big amount, I sought spiritual guidance from Chief Ade after I heard about him, how he has been helping people with the lottery winning numbers, and not long afterwards I won the $16,000,000 MILLION Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball jackpot with the numbers he gave me. That incredible win completely transformed my life. I was able to pay off all my debts, purchase a brand-new truck, and make sure my children had everything they needed to pursue their dreams. I also chose to share my good fortune by supporting local charities and helping families in need, because I know what it’s like to struggle.

Dan Burn is having a very good game. He was towering in the Mexico game.

One of the most absurd and misinformed posts that I have ever read on here in two decades.

Anyone else think Tuchel looks like Timmy off South Park? Timmy!

He’s given us 4 goals in 44 appearances, since his arrival.

When Moyes arrived, he did play Charly. He was still giving him starts and minutes last season, until Alcaraz had injuries. Since then, he hardly plays.

On a positive note, he’s scored one goal thus far, in only 49 minutes of play. So his goal return "Per 90+ minutes" is 2.

An unprecedented level of production.

So you don’t think Barry is in form atm, Martin? I’m not sure what The Athletic did their list on; I don’t agree with Tarkowski not being on there, which is why I felt I’d use it as an example of him going under the radar…

So you don’t think Tarkowski is playing well, john? I didn’t base my case on stats, btw

Alcaraz is small-time, which is where he’ll wind-up next season.

got to agree with ian burns – as per previous comments desperate dan needs all his dosh for roma’s new stadium and his nhl franchise

lil ole everton will get zilch in january – same as last january…..the player in question seemed ok when i saw him against newcastle i think he only came on as a sub against us …can he play right back

Tarky has never been sent off in the Premier League (363 games), you might want to get those eyes checked John.

Id be gobsmacked if Branthwaite is here next summer….

Look a bit closer John.

Im sure I read he had never had a red card.

Absolutley john i think alot of the lads are growing in confidence we have some strong players .

I think the young lads are dangerous but 100 mins is way to far for them .

When we get going they seem to play with no fear its just moyes cagey starts .

I really fancy us against brentford just hope the internationals all come back ok

This modern obsession with stupid stats. It’s a cold measurement and doesn’t represent what the eye actually sees. I watch Tarkowski and see someone who is slow, over-aggressive and liable to make uncontrolled tackles and get sent off. Like Mick Lyons with big ears.

I already gave my opinions on J T, but it seems to have disappeared, just like the refs red card against Coventry.😋

Its no big deal being left out of the England team for the match against Croatia and after being hammered 7 – 1 recently, the opposition is not likely to have improved much since then. From an Everton perspective It’s more important that our lads remain fit and free from possible injury while playing in a relatively low key international fixture.

As for the other England squad members, what has possessed Tuchel to select Dan Burn and the young Bellingham? God only knows how his mind works!

If it was sell to buy in the Summer window, when TFG took the decision to sell the club, then can’t see how it will be different in January, unless a lowly position in league dictated it. They’re preserving cash.

Thierno Barry @ 38 in the 50 best PL players "on form" shows what a crock of the whole thing is.

How about pulling your head out of your arse / computerised stats screen and LOOK at how good or bad they are.

Its like Premier Manager 37.

Load of …..

Someone somewhere is making a vast fortune from selling numbers to idiot Directors of Football and recruitment halfwits.

You could be right, Ian, that’s what people are saying, that TFG won’t spend… and they could even do some profit-taking by selling off a few or all of our best players. But that would be a huge mistake, Mark says above, making us a much more unattractive proposition for new owners.

I’m just gobsmacked that Rudoni is from Carshalton and not from Capri or some other exotic Italian hotbed of football talent. Illusions shattered.

"it’s no use crying over spilt milk."

Tiz the Blue way Dave!

I think they will Ian. We are a more attractive prospect in the European end of the table. I think they will allow us to buy but what the feck do I know

Ian.

I know.

Anyone with a basic knowledge of football knows.

Your post comes across that it was me who asked for Johnson in a 4-3-4 and your explaining to me why not to play that system.

Gentle reminder ,it was you who advocated it.

Baffling why you advocated playing a 4-3-3 just to get Johnson on the pitch.

John, ive said multiple times id like to play 4-3-3, but currently the players arent up to it or are still developing. That is why I can see why Moyes persists with this shape.

If we played a front 3 that was high, then the defence has to play a highline as well, otherwise the gap between the front & the back are just too big for the midfield to cover. Mykolenko doesn’t get forward, and Tarkowski can’t play a high line. That is a big inhibitor.

Then to the forward players. If you commit 3 forward players up the pitch, then they best score regularly, as you will be conceeding more. Currently George & Dibling arent regular goal scorers, or look like regular goal scorers, in the way top teams have. So it looks a gamble that could back fire, as much succeed.

A winger for me hugs the touchline, dribbles, crosses and creates. A wide forward is more static, gets on the end of things, with higher expectation to be a goal scorer, than goal creator. Salah would be that category, Son,Messi

Shh Steve,Tuchel might hear you and play him 😄

Better centre half than anyone in that squad,get him back safe asap

The issue isn’t negative defensive football. Everton have played some great football this season, and we played some great football last season as well under Moyes.

The issue is the negativity when it comes to beating the big clubs. In the Premier League, if you want to finish in the top four or you want to win a trophy, you’ve got to have an aggressive strategy for how to beat Manchester City, Arsenal, etc. We play really well against the clubs in the bottom half of the table, but as soon as we play a big team, Moyes pivots to not conceding too many goals.

Jose Mourinho played incredibly defensive football, but always with an aggressive strategy for how to beat the best teams in the world, which is why he won so many trophies. That’s what Everton fans are upset about: nothing to do with defensive football. We want to win things. People might say that’s delusional, but we’ve watched Crystal Palace, West Ham, etc., all win trophies with pretty poor teams in the last few years.

It must have escaped his attention that Marc Guehi’s form has dropped off a cliff. Quansah is average with a capital A like Dan Burns has gone.

Other than that, he is convincing as he was at the World Cup

Tuchel is englands new Graham Taylor. Will not accept that some players are far better than those hes using. He seems to have a mental block regarding Everton players. Branthwaite,regarded as the best in the PL, is far superior to Dan burn, garner and dewsbury hall outstrip anyone tuchel picks. Tuchel is going to be a manager that fans will probably end up detesting.

If we continue this run, I believe it will be hard for Tuchel to ignore Branthwaite altogether. Time tells, and it will.

I hope so.

For Pickford and to piss off the dickhead pundits.

Thats my point Mark.

He didnt play aways like he always does at Newcastle.

He allowed more men to get into their box in open play.

More of the same please

John Everton do ok away to brentford Moyes will play like always plays away and i think we could win quite easy .

Thiago will be a big loss for them getting that red card might just give us an advantage john.

UTFT.

Michael – well articulated but I hate to piss on anybody’s parade but are the owners likely to make any funds available given they are looking to sell up? That said Rudoni definitely looks the part to me, I agree with your assessment of this player.

Branthwaite is a far better CB than Burn, but am I disappointed it looks like neither Branthwaite or Garner will get much game time if any, no I am not I am more interested they are fit for the Brentford game. I have seen tankers turn quicker on the Mersey than Burn can turn and he aint the best passer of a ball either but if Tutchel prefers him fine. How Jobe Bellingham gets picked ahead of KDH is remarkable, but again with my Everton hat on I am pleased that KDH who i think is our most important player wont get injured.

Stupid. With Pickford and Branthwaite understanding, not giving a chance to develop the up and coming one but to pick Dan Bum is dumb.

Hoping both don’t play (unlikely with Pickford).

Selfish? Maybe.

Can’t afford any potential injuries due to another shite snooze fest.

AND …. Newcastle are POOR … nothing to write home about …. "one swallow … "

Ian,

you came back with a smart arse reply about google the answer.

Its a simple question that requires a simple answer.

You said Moyes is playing defensive football to our strengths.

I posted a list of players asking was their strength in defending.

You advocated playing Johnson as a wide forward, (not sure what that is tbh)not a winger,i asked in what formation?

Do you think playing the formation required for that to happen would make us weaker or stronger defensively?

John, you asked a question, went on about the question, and then ive given you my answer.

It isnt a yes or no answer.

The reason that Moyes doesn’t play attacking football, is because at least 2 of his defenders wouldn’t cope with it. It would also rely on 2 wingers that have potential, but are still inconsistent. Dibling particularly so, in that his end product is virtually non existent.

That is 40% of the outfield positions. The remainder are decent enough. But even against top sides will struggle.

Barry got schooled vs Gabriel as an example. Dewesbury Hall is way behind Eze, Foden, Palmer, Rogers etc. Armstrong works hard, but isnt bringing a huge amount to the attack.

In total, this side is developing working progress, that is finding its way. A way that is being slowed by the financial tap being turned off. Tfg doing a Peter Johnson.

Given the run of games coming up Moyes will revert back to his go to formation KITAP1.

Sensible to not play in the manner of the last few games,if we play open football against the next few opponents we will get ripped in the midfield areas.

I`m hoping for somewhere in the middle,get men forward but at the right times during the game.

I think Tony knew it was AI Mark

And, of course, BBC running a column on why JP is now getting serious competition for his England place.

Off topic, pretty disgusted how Michael Carrick has been treated this week by the Man-U hierarchy. Whatever he has done or not done, he doesn’t deserve to be dangled like a mouse by a cat.

LOL a golf caddy who therefore has more authority than any of us to comment on Everton.

Getting fed up with the adverts now Micheal, even when I click on the x it just goes into the advert

You going to brentford

I’m totally confused here as to how to read and or reply to relevant posts but am I correct in thinking Mark S was / is a golf caddy to pro footballers??
