I like Jack Grealish as a person. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. And, in all likelihood, he has personal problems—just like any of us. Should that affect his work? Absolutely not! And this is where I believe the club has a responsibility, especially when a 31-year-old seemingly has so little control over his private life that it ends up harming the club.

Is it a tsunami? Is it a plague of frogs?

No, it’s a pop up on a website and we are being beseeched to abandon ship.

Press the little x for fucks sake

They’re a feckin’ nightmare.

It’s like being attacked by digital gremlins.

Please stop with the pop ups. PLEASE!!

It’s not just on iPhone they’re all over my Android tablet screen. Almost ready to bin TW know they require income but these are well over the top. Really frustrating!

Player of the Season up to now Tarks.

Long may it continue

Score a few goals

I’m not sure I agree. We’re plodding and ponderous at times but usually seem to be in control. I’ve seen far worse from other sides, like Villa, Man U and Spurs recently.

I can’t think of a goal we’ve conceded yet due to pfaffing about at the back?

9 for Tarkowski? What does he have to do to get a 10??

Is there an international break right now?

Good article thanks.

Is anyone else getting the annoying pop up advert on iPhone that can’t be closed? So annoying!

Grealish has always seemed to have been a thorn in a managers side when not on the pitch. He seems to think he’s playing in the 70s where partying was the norm right up till the start of a game. Maybe he thinks he’s a latter day George best. He has probably amassed a very large bank account and the need to play has gone, it’s now down to whether he wants to end his career as a consummate professional or a has been flop.

Moyes and Everton have given him another chance and he now has to choose what direction he takes. He has very little time to define himself as a player (age catches up with everyone)

Hopefully he truly wants to end his career as a great but has to now knuckle down and prove his worth. Whether he’s capable of that will be seen over the coming months.

It’s really down to grealish himself as to how people perceive him as a player.

Everton and Moyes have provided the opportunity only grealish can take it….COYB

Agreed.

Don’t think our players are as comfortable with the ball at their feet as many.

Scores generally fair, bit harsh on Grealish I think and for me AMN behind Garner and Rohl. Tarks playing his best for a good while.

Ray if he had a very good reason for not turning up for five days surely he would have told us so. 1/100 would be the odds that he was on a long bender and not for the first time with Everton, City and Villa!

Something that baffles me about Everton:

Whenever I watch other teams, they seem comfortable playing out from the back. Why do we always look like we’re gonna lose possession and gift the opponent a goalscoring opportunity?

You can feel the tension in the stadium almost every time Tarks, Pickford and others start fannying around in our half. Surely we should be comfortable by now as it’s been part of our game for years.

Really good to hear from Connor, who sounds llike a solid Evertonian with his own mind, lacking only the sycophancy that that was ingrained in far too many of his predcessors at the Red Echo.

I liked what he said about Grealish, I think he got this spot-on in every respect. He has not done anything of note for us so far this season (apart from being a bad lad and all that has entailed). Time to show he can still affect games…

Harry my optics take no notice of the raw numbers- stats? Harry seeing is believing — ask Doubting Thomas!

Fair comment.

If pop-ups and ads do drive you mad, I’d recommend switching your browser to Duck Duck Go.

It’s a stupid f’kin name for a search engine but it works brilliantly with zero trackers, pop-ups etc and, most importantly, you can swap the red app icon to a blue one!

Pretty close to spot-on, although the Grealish rating is harsh (unless you’re knocking 3 points off for the disciplinary issue).

He’s not been at his best but even mediocre Grealish has moments of quality and is a source of free kicks in dangerous areas. Yes, we’re slower when he plays, but Moyes picks the team so that’s on him. Jack plays his own style of football and the manager knows what he’s getting. He needs to be used as a sub going forward as our pacier attack has been reaping rewards.

Yeah hard to moan about ads if your not paying anything to use a service.

Someone’s got to pay the wages.

I like that Derek “ I’ll buy a toaster “ brilliant that.

Nailed it.

seconded and thirded

Will wait and see who gets the nod for the Spain game. If Jarrad is on bench duty only once again then it will be confirmed he’s down pecking order because Tuchel has issues with him and is not just sensibly using him judiciously.

Jordan Pickford still gets selected more often than not and Jimmy Garner is getting minutes when I think he’s had quite a patchy start to the season so I don’t see any absolutely undoubted bias against EFC.

Off the subject this site has gone down hill with all these pop ups

Adverts probably how TW pays the expenses to run the site.

Same as ITV,Channel 4 etc

Fingers crossed Christy.

WTF Just happened? I haven’t gone into TW for a couple of days. When I tapped on it, TW International opened and it’s just a gambling site now. I had to go seaching for actual Everton stuff. A disgrace. Totally agree with you zpaul, the site is now gone to complete s**t.

… Moyes also stated even though the result didn’t go our way on the day, ‘We’ (cop out weasel word) decided that on balance, the inclusion of Grealish, with his vast experience of Big Games compared to George was a justifiable decision – and that his straight red on 65mins for what was probably his first real tackle was extremely harsh"

Slap a tenner on Montenegro. They’re 5 points ahead in the group.

I want pop ups too.

It’s been like that on the home page for ages.

But just look down beyond the comments on this page, the odds are all under Recent Articles. Seems they float about the website.

Still not seeing pop-ups though.

Isn’t the number of chances also directly related to other team members? Sure, being in the right position to receive the ball is great, but if your teammates don’t give you the ball it’s worthless.

He probably wants to teach the lad how to play properly, he’ll never learn anything under Moyes.

Pop-ups? What pop-ups? What am I missing out on? I don’t get any.

Don’t faff about, Derek. Tell us what you really think.

He is English. Why is he stating, "I want to"? I thought only drab Yanks express themselves like that.

‘I want to apologise to the fans and (sic) everyone at the Club for not being able to help the team the last few weeks’.

You did ‘help the team the last few weeks’. You did not play. Apologies can seem a little hollow and shallow when made by folks like you JG with form and repeat dramas.

If you’re erm laughing at what Dave said he’s actually spot on lad.

SPOT ON Jimmy

Patric ridge shut the fuck up.

Burn had a great game

He’ll be on the bench Vs Brentford and its The Derby the week after, I just hope Moyes resists all ‘Tinkerman’ urges.

‘Repent’ said The Tinkerman. ‘Get stuffed’, said Grealish.

Branthwaite gets picked so United can keep an eye on his progress

Fuck off with the pop ups, if I want pop ups I’ll buy a toaster or read the red echo.

I’m sorry to say it, but this site is a bag of shite now.

Ads popping up left, right and centre. Virtually anywhere you click gives a popup for a gambling site.

I beseech all proper blues to move over to evertonia.com. The site is sadly relatively dormant BUT it keeps alive the original spirit of toffeeweb, so we can breathe life into in and turn our backs on this ridiculous aberration.

I’d take that all day Tony.

I had the same feelings at the time Steve, but I started reading a few of the things he was saying and then I thought that it was the right decision to give him a chance to redeem himself in the next major tournament. The way England conceded the pitch to Argentina, after taking the lead was really timid, I have also been of the opinion that in those very tight games, Harry Kane, can become a hindrance because he starts coming very deep, instead of staying high and giving his teammates an outlet, but I genuinely think England, have never been closer to winning a major tournament, and I definitely wouldn’t rule them out of finally getting over the line in 2028

Grealish coming off the bench to win us the Merseyside derby, would do for every single one of us John, but he will probably end up getting bevied and missing the next few games!

cyprus v montenegro odds in latest news ?? more pop ups too

its getting a bit silly
