Just looked at a list of strikers we have had over the last 10 years. DCL, Lukaku, Richarlison, Beto, Barry, Tosun, Keane, Maupay, Rondon, Niasse, Josh King, Sandro, Broja, Valencia. Apart from the first 3 on the list the rest were an absolute waste of space, so is it any wonder we have struggled to compete for honours never mind mid table security.

Mark your allowed an opinion, and I won’t call you for it. If we all thought the same life would be boring.

We should be able to take our pick of left wingers here. https://www.irishtimes.com/world/2026/10/26/brazil-and-serbia-show-that-progressive-forces-can-defeat-the-far-right/

Hahaha. “Moyes contradicts himself without realising it” ???? John Collins – “I put a bet on opponents because I want my team to lose. I cant tell you which bookies because I realise the odds I claimed I got, were not available at ANY bookies. I give my season tickets for the North stand 9 times last season. but when challenged on another site, I forgot and said its for the South stand and I only gave it away 7 times. I dont know what I did for other matches, I just know I was on TW during all of them. The number of times I go depends entirely on what site I`m posting on. In summary; I dont know where I sit. I cant name the bookies I placed my bet with, I dont know how much a ST ticket cost and I dont have a scooby how many I have” TGT sounds quite consistent in comparrison

You reckon he will try to get them on the cheap Andy. We don’t want our club standing in the way of the two lads careers.

Harry, Surely ‘newest first’ should be the way to go?

3 matches in 8 days, he HAS to utilise the squad…but will he?

Just heard that if United sack Carrick, they intend to tempt Moyes to join them. He’s likely to poach Barry and Johnson. Déjà vu?

I actually write that in the piece, Mark. I think that’s important perspective. It wasn’t about Bournemouth on the grand scale (I have serious doubts over Marco Rose) but I thought Hill’s comments about them focusing on themselves, their strengths and how they could hurt United were a sharp contrast to some of Moyes’ rhetoric as of late.

I think Moyes has always been risk averse as a manager its in his dna and he isn’t going to change at this time of his life. Most pundits applaud him for the job he is doing on limited resources, but the difference between fans and pundits is fans want excitement and a team that wants to try and win games were pundits just look at how little he has been supported by the owners and seeing most pundits are ex players they look at the league position and how little h ehas had to spend and base their judgements on that. I have never heard the pundits ask why Dibbling who came for a lot of money and Hackney who was voted playe rof the championship and to a lesser extent why George aren’t getting more minutes. I thought Moyes comments on Jake O,Brien after the game would hardly fill him with confidence, stating he had a lot to learn and has Branthwaite and Tarkowski ahead of him. I don’t know if Irvine or Baines ever suggest a more attacking approach in games.

Patric they also lost 5 1 to chelsea and are below us in the league patric . Whats your point.

Okay, Paul. You’re entitled to that view and I’m entitled to mine. I thought the context of my piece was pretty clear. Everton mean everything to me, so no, I cannot be happy that they do ‘merely exist’ – that’s not enough, is it?

I would go for that magician Mark. His first job is to make Moyes disappear

Mark tell me whats realistic about Pauls post . TFG are definetly Dinosaurs . Quick sale you believe thats going to happen Mark no chance what so EVER.. YE the squad is not that bad at all Paul is right about that but how are we going to change tactics with out Quality players maybe we get a magician .

Thanks John. I still care, of course I do, just found it hard to care too much about the game at all on Saturday because it’s how I expected it to play out, and that’s the frustrating thing!

I`d have a good bet Paul H has been to more games than you by the way. A long standing Blue Paul

You said “if you think a young manager will save us,your mad” (paraphrase) I`m interested in what age you consider a manager to be a young one. Easy question Mark

John i’m not the person asking for a younger management i am saying no one can move us forward until we buy Quality players . And the reason i ask Paul if he goes the game is simple you get a better prospective watching these lads giving there all and more if they have it . For instance lots on TW are having a go at Johnson well 1st he had no preseason so is playing catch up but in the games he’s played he has had a goofd goal dissalowed and been close to about 3 or 4 times coming in at the back post these things you pick up on at the game . As i have said lots of times its about opinions and Moyes has been unlucky with some decisions lately .

You’d seen enough in training to suggest—- what the fuckin’ Hell did it suggest —- you never said . That’s the answer to quite a lot of fans who say “ He knows more than you lot he sees them in training every day”. —- What do him and his coaching staff actually see? What do they see during the game? Whatever it is it hardly ever changes the result while a few players are still struggling to get enough minutes in the actual games and he’s fuckin’ about putting unfit players on the field. The team selected for Thursdays game v Newcastle and the result will be very interesting — I hope we win for Moyes sake but mostly for the only real asset my club has got — That’s Us with a capital U.

At last sane supporters thanks . It,s all on dinosaur moyes for me and total negativity and illogical everthing . TFG were staying he would have been sacked last year !

Concerned about and often too much respect for/ fear of the opposition plus safety first focus. This is the Moyes way, it isn’t changing anytime soon. He has a small squad ( not his fault) but still doesn’t use it. I do think we will see a few of them on Thursday however. He places a low priority on cups and we will see a different side for once, no PL points at stake.

It’s the manner of the defeats Josh. Barely a chance created in the last 2 games, if you’re happy with that fair play, but im definitely not

He talks some shite this manager. Contradicts himself all the time without realising it.

2 wins in 8 games Andy. We have had a gentle fixture list apart from Chelsea and Arsenal,both of who trampled all over us. It can quickly develop into a struggle mate,especially with a negative manager

I’m not an armchair Evertonian nor do I attend every game, but I don’t understand why people who don’t physically get to the match shouldn’t voice their opinion on the games or the tactics? If I’m not at the game I watch via a live feed. I almost certainly get a better view of the match plus I get replays than if I was at the game live. So why ask if someone goes the match or not when they air an opinion? FWIW I don’t always agree with Hewey but that’s a fair enough post he’s made.

What weve learned is, hes never going to change, never ever. He’s stubborn, cowardly and a downright shithouse, weve won 2 in 15 yet the media would have you convinced hes doing a brilliant job. Hes not he hasn’t got a clue how to utilise albeit a small squad because its either my way or the highway. His treatment of Dibiing Alcaraz George and Obrien is disgusting oh.and Hackney. The sad thing is we are stuck with him, because not a prayer TFG will sack him even if we drop into the bottom 3 because thats where are current form is taking us.

What an embarrassing situation. The player has apologised for not being ready, even though he’s been injured all season. It wasn’t a difficult decision to bring him on because he had been training, but when you’re 32 and having played much football, in the last fifteen months, whilst also coming back from an injury that cost you a pre-season, then it definitely gives us an insight into the manager’s thinking. Experience over everything? Experience is vital, but what about “ENERGY” because this is something that Everton, have been lacking for most of this season.

Good article. Thanks for writing

Hi Tony, The format will be changed soon so comments are in chronological order. We’re not sure why Arena think a ‘Best’ order works to be honest… We’re told ‘Oldest’ first will be activated on November 6th. We’ve also asked if we can make that the fixed format. For now, you can change from Best to Newest at the top. Thanks.

Id say we are in one now John, given our current form.

What age criteria do you use for a “young manager” Mark

it seems soft lad moyes is waiting for another bad signing to make a superman impact on a very poorly orginized and motivated side with his mates playing and no real organiseation on the park we all would take a defeat better if they had tries when is he going to say fuck barry try any other combination it can not do worse no jhonson no grealish hacney must start put a lad who wants to drive in insted of large gaps in the middle for teams to walk through totingham won at chelsea bournmouth won at man u because they both won the midfield hacney armstrong centra mid k d h wide left gardner in front of the back 4 or rightback but kdh and gardner in centra mid is simply not working headless chickens spring to mind

A few people mentioning us getting a new striker in the window. It took us 2 years to get a right back who isnt a right back and isnt very good. I dread to think what they will piss the money away on come the Jan window. Thats if we even manage a signing.

I agree the owners lack of spending contributes a major part. No blame with the tactics or the managers approach Ian?

Paul can i ask if you go to the match or are you an armchair Evertonian. You just post the same rubbish like the rest of the sheep. 1st is i am no Moyes fan at all but if you think a young manager is going to move us forward your totally MAD. 2nd if you think we’re going get new owners with loads of money ASP your even more bonkers. 3rd is we have hard working players who give everything for the shirt but sadly we need quality and they cost big money. Everton have still not bought a 50 mill plus player EVER. So stop moaning like the rest of the sheep and get on with it . Oh by the way if the officials would of done there job against Hull and Chelsea we would probaly be top 4 ha ha

Morning Paul,sorry mate i`m not with you on the Cumbria coach?

The owners John. The buck stops there.

You’re a top blue John. I loved the hitch-hiking days – would it be the Cumbria coach or 2/3 lads with a space to spare?

Looking at the figures and the balancing act of maximum profit TFG will look for,while keeping us in the Prem,how much will they spend in January? My opinion if they don`t invest in the squad we will be in a relegation fight.

Hope you are well, Kieran, good to see your post. Our new system lets you go back and edit our comment (ling term; £150M) just hover over your comment and click on the three vertical dots to see the Edit option. Cheers.

Who do you put that down to Ian?

Morning Patric, I know exactly where you are coming from. They wear you down eventually this club of ours. I don`t have anywhere near the feeling i once had for them. Admittedly my starting point was,as a 14 year old,hitching to all the aways in London,South coast,Newcastle etc.Used to get the last 44 to the Lancs on a Friday night,hitch to Haydock Island,hitch to wherever then bunk the train home. Takes me all my time to go to home games now.

When do you think we will start getting them?

Good results are entertaining.

£468 million in debt. I wouldn’t go anywhere near buying us.

Id think they learnt the opposition fear none of our players. And that we dont have three regular goal scorers at the club. If we do, name them? We learnt our best player is now linked with an exit to United. Classic selll to buy from Everton. No doubt Branthwaite will go for under market price.

They bought The Club because it was cheap, finish BMD, see what we can get out of it – I mean its the richest football league in the world. It is; but the L post code isnt London or Rome. There’s no ‘bottomless pit’ of disposable income, there’s no plane loads of tourists to buy the Club shop out, there’s no Champions League, there’s no mega sponsorship. I’ll bet they’re already seeing push back on the year on year Merch profits

£468m is a big chunk of debt to be taking on. The sale may depend on how much it is costing to manage and pay down the debt, and how capable the club’s revenue streams are in managing this on a medium to ling term basis. The squad is also going to be an issue. To bring it up to where it should be, both in terms of numbers and even midtable level quality, will cost well over £150 potentially. For maximum benefit, and to even just keep pace with other midtable teams, this would need to be completed in one transfer window as well.

This

On this basis the suggested £1bn sale price may be unrealistic and maybe £800m nearer the mark, still giving a very good return to TFG for tidying the debt position and finishing a stadium. Depending on how quickly they want to sell, they may have to go lower. The new stadium is a major selling point, potential revenue earner. The failure to invest in the squad, whilst taking the club to market, a big mistake, likely to lower value. We would all benefit from the sale happening relatively quickly, to owners with deep pockets and a footballing interest in Everton fc.
