  • Duran is a good shout. Why did Villa sell him? FFP perhaps?...

  • Ray #82, that was against Newcastle away in February '95. We had 2 men sent off and lost 2 nil, it was bizarre to watch us play a considerable length of time with every player back in our own box, we lost 2-0. In typical Everton fashion we did the same thing a month later away at Leicester and blew a 2 goal lead to end up drawing 2-2. It was Barrett and Horne(?) against Newcastle, Ferguson and Samways against Leicester. I watched both games on the Jumbotron or whatever it was called at Goodison. ...

  • Rohl, Dibling, Aznou and Barry are all players of real potential. Even KDH could have a bit more gas in the tank. TFG have clearly gone for this aspect for both financial and footballing reasons. I’d say their recruitment has been fair and there is at least a plan. We cannot go back to the Moshiri blueprint. I too don’t want January panic buys and trust the assessment that the market is not good value during the window. We don’t need to panic buy, leave that to the West Hams of this world. I’d like European football but wasn’t expecting it at the start of the season, it would be a bonus. Wouldn’t mind John Duran on loan though. ...

  • Mark 96, Dibling must be a better player than the one we are watching,the player we are watching doesnt look to get on the ball as much as he should be,looks intimidated by it all tbh. Playing on the right as a predominately left footed player means he, more often than not,checks back onto his left foot and mostly takes the easier option of going square or back. I would like to see him play wide left with instruction to get the cross in earlier. I advocated McNeill playing high up the pitch centrally last season,his best position imo,there are a couple ahead of him for that position there though. I don't think hes got the game as a track back wide man ...

  • I’d LIKE to see McNeil on the bench on Saturday with Ndiaye on the left and Dibbling right with KDH centre. But, as poor as McNeil has been lately I don’t think Dibling has done any better. Ndiaye plays mainly on the right - Senegal had him hugging the right touchline - and I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dibling play left, so for the time being, until we bring in a replacement for Grealish, I think for balance, Moyes will stick with McNeil. Hopefully it’s a temporary loss of form and fitness and Dwight will come good again soon, but the writing seems to be on the wall as far as his Everton place is concerned. Until he moves on though, we should get behind him with the rest of the team....
