• Les 23 (and other comments) Couldn't agree more mate, football at Hill Dicko has been awful, need to try something different, much faster and more dynamic as what we've seen up to now is shite. Only game I can recall feeling good about is the Palace game, and had Mateta taken either of his 2 huge chances and we wouldn't have got nothing from that game....

• Les (32): ‘We play dead football’. I couldn’t get T.S. Elliot out of my mind reading this Les: ‘ We are the hollow men / We are the stuffed men [ … ] Shape without form, shade without colour. Paralysed force, gesture without motion;’ I detest this sideways-backwards- backwards-three foot up the pitch-sideways shite that tortures my eyes and sense of what football can be (‘The eyes are not here / There are no eyes here’). No fecking wonder players have north of 80% pass completion rates: ‘Gana gives it to Garner three-foot away who rolls it back to Tarkowski who feeds O’Brien who feeds Gana who squares it to Garner who goes back to Tarkowski who plays it back to Pickford who plays it to Mykelenko (and so on and so on until) back to the safe feet of Pickford once again. I counted 44 consecutive Everton passes there Ally. They know how to hold onto the ball'. It can be soul-destroying Les. No wonder the crowd gets restless. No wonder they hum and murmu...

• George 4. Completely agree, Dibling was awful, is awful, looks a lot like more of our money sponked. 5.5, pff I'd have gone with a 3 max. The kid needs sending back for a refund ASAP. Mcneils time is up at us, he's the most uninterested player at the club, probably in the whole league, has done a job in the past, but not any more, his times up, cash in now. Beto us another one, Patterson too, cash in within the next day or so and try our hands with anything else, just don't tie any more bang average players down to long term deals. A right back with pace and crossing ability, a forward with different attributes/profile to Barry, Beto, DCL etc, someone who can play in more than just the 9, ideally the 10 and either wing. The players are out there, Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth etc don't struggle to find them, we need the last few days of this window to be useful and the summer window to be nailed....

• Dave @16 One could also say that had Moyes been given the money to buy players he could have achieved success. After all with limited resources he got us CL qualification only to be hijacked by a dodgy referee decision The facts are we will never know what could have been. All we know is the here and now and every manager in the last few years have been given money and we have got worse. Kneejerk management of our club. Now that TFG have taken over, the first priority was to stop this annual relegation battle. The next priority is to start building a team and identify a manager to fulfill the football we all would love to see. That however requires a lot of care getting in the quality players we need and a manager to get the best out of them. But be very careful is selecting our next manager. Some names preferred to Moyes in the past included Potter, Frank, Nuno, Postecoglu, Maresca and we all know how they got on trying to manage at a bio club....
