Most fans’ strongest memory of Frank is of him dancing on the dugout after the Palace game, the emotions just pouring out of him. I assume that fond memory will generate a warm welcome back for him tomorrow.

Absolutely, Blues have class, usually. I got weird on Frank, but he is obviously a man of character. I just thought he took on too much risk playing how we did with him.

We’ve been stuck in neutral for several decades and I think will be so for as long as I live- and I’m not thinking of dying anytime soon.

It’s the way it is, many clubs are in this situation and as soon as they try and break the glass ceiling, they get their face cut up- that’s what the 70% rule for Europe is intended to do.

At least for us, it’s so long since we won anything, any cup, even the most minor one, would be bordering on orgasmic. Not likely, but at least possible with a lot of luck and it keeps you interested.

The league? Well the idea, the only idea is to avoid relegation.

He illustrates that we don’t need a left back to be in a position to put crosses in John, we just need a winger, which George is. I just hope he can be as good as Johnny was.

A monumental political event Dale.

If you find it difficult to pronounce my name just call me Senator.

Classic.

Up The Blues

Those bastards!

You’re up to -3 now. I’m a bit jealous. Oh wait, you were at -5.

Everton’s debt is round four to six hundred million, would you buy into tha. Of course moyes will get a new contract, TFG won’t pay a penny more than they have to, and that means no transfers.

He is an unprofessional fool. But you don’t boo anyone in a blue shirt

You have minus 2 Dale.

They should nail their colours to the mast mate, post a reply.

You don’t, I do.

No problem.

Coventry were slow out of the blocks but appear to be getting ‘up to speed’ now. We have, however, improved a bit ourselves recently and the players should be able to build on that modest momentum.

I’m really hoping for a complete performance. First live game this season for me. Having to drive up quite late so will be going straight to the game. Would be very grateful if anyone could direct me to a good secure parking spot that isn’t too much of a hike away from the stadium.

Ged Simpson suggests booing him. Taxi for Ged

Could also be taken as a statement he is not going anywhere soon as he has unfinished business.

Rather watch a Moyes side than any side Dyche put out, no lover of Moyes but 30 times the manager Dyche is.

Does anyone care, not a political site this.

Everton fans and Everton fans only site fuck Trump and his UK counterparts.

Spot on in some respects John not so much on others. I thought Monday was a Moyes masterclass. Not for minute did i think we in any trouble and i thought his tactics were brilliant. That said we do miss chances to put the game to bed so we could well improve on that score Hull and Bournemouth should have been wins giving the chances we had in both games but er no.

Why would we boo any of our own players. Unreal.

If the rumours im hearing about Grealish, and they are only that, rumours.

I truly believe Jack has well and truly pissed on his chips, think Shandy Andy and Royston, Davey boy if anything is ultra professional and wont tolerate any shenanigans.

Be honest though have we missed him and the answer to that would be an unequivable no.

Tom Finney and Andre Gomez in the same side, wow would liked to have been at that game.

He wont though will he itll be more or less the same side that perormed in my view excellently on Monday night, if he does make changes and i hope he doesnt it could well backfire.

Reserves come on Hurbert your showing your age there mate.

Mark have you been away the last 5 months? The owners are selling up mate.

Good shout David, totally agree.

He’s happy to take the 5 million wages per year while being under no pressure whatsoever to do any better than mid table finishes

Can’t agree with this. He’s a top player and clearly has an affinity for the club and fans. He’s got my support. We should all want this to work out well.

Mark he said "I wish I had the trophies…they had". Not really a direct admittance that he’s responsible for failing to win a trophy with Everton.

He’s always been happy to play the role of manager with little cash to spend while other managers with less have won trophies. Glasner being the latest.

I think O’Brien played well, Brian, but as the article headline suggests, it should be horses for courses. At home against Coventry, I think there needs to be an attacking outlet from RB. I would like AMN to come back in, but I expect Moyes to play Rohl there

Hi Paul, they are Evertonians who are regular guests on the show, but we’re also lining up other guests as we look to grow the podcast.

don’t boo him , certainly don’t cheer him ! ignore him

typical stupid everton renewing the loan…we never learn do we ?

Moyes won’t walk away, he walked off to United granted but that was different.

So while he can polish his own halo / legend in the the media every presser AND get £5 Million a year plus the carrot of an extension – his boots are deffo Not made for walking

john – dour davie won’t walk TFG won’t spend (in january) we could be in a bit of a pickle ..

there may just be 3 or 4 teams worse than us – fingers crossed !

usual suspects will say -what are you moaning for , we are in 7th place or top 5 .

as we know fixtures have been kind to us so far..

Is this Frank Lampard`s first time back since he left us? If so, will he get a good reception?

Don’t be daft Ged, we love a trier and an underdog…Teary Bill (deceased) knew us oh so well…I predict when he eventually comes on as a sub Vs (probably – but who knows when) Brentford he’ll get a big cheer – anyway, time will tell and – as we’re apparently stuck with paying for him well be playing him if he’s fit, we’ll give him a chance to redeem himself.

Paul,

They’re Evertonains who’ve been with Patric Ridge on most of these podcasts.

Underestimate Coventry at your own peril, completely different proposition to Newcastle. They have full backs that can cause us problems in Van Ewick and Da Silva, I wonder how Moyes will approach this one? Hopefully done his homework, im a bit worried about Coventry

How do you know that Jack?

Do you really think that would help him? We are supposed to be supporters and he needs support now.

Ged, your quoted first paragraph refers to Branthwaite not Grealish.

Who are Alfie Biggs and Jon Shea?

Newcastle treated Eddie Howe in a similar fashion regarding players.

Eddie walked away.

ironic david , bemoaning the loss of those 5 players as only ndiaye and beto were the only 2 ever considered worth a start !

iroegbunam , aznou and patterson bench warmers …davey rotate the squad a bit and not just on 86 minutes .

If he isn’t booed next time he plays at home then we are stupid.

Will I think be a tougher game with Coventry than the 2 with Newcastle.

They will run and battle for everything, and a point would be good for them.

Have to show a bit more creativity, patience and craft as they will sit deeper and hope to counter us.

“We are just nursing him a long a little bit and checking to see he is ok. We need to see how he is.”

Wonder what this prat and his entourage and EFC can see in his contract.

"Grealish fined £20 but bar in London offer to cover it" roars The Sun on Nov 20th 2029

I’m guessing he’s also lost the most too just on average?

With a 40% ish win rate.

You forgot Alcaraz— he’s getting treated like a leper!

Definitely — if we can’t expect to beat teams like Coventry at home then we are really in bad way.

As long as it’s not The Seaman’s Mission

I would definitely took 4 points at 7pm on Monday Mark.

Having won 3 at Newcastle it’s got to be 6 now

John before monday 4 pts from these 2 games was more than acceptable but now where all over 6pts and they say greed is a terrible thing .

I’m only saying what Moyes is thinking .
