Moyes gets first win over Everton

Swan song

Looks very attacking to me.

I would like to think that when Baines and Coleman go forward there will be bodies in the box for crosses but that would be an aberration given the evidence of this season.

Anyway we shall see. Hopefully we shall get the win against a poor West Ham team.

We'll see how the game develops but I ain't holding my breath.

Goodbye season 2017-2018.

I really hope we don't see many of them wearing it next time around, whoever the manager is.

Embarrassing.

I would not lose any sleep if we sold all of them.

I have no love or emotional attachment to any of them unlike in years gone by when selling Rooney in 2004 was gut wrenching or losing fan favourites like Tim Cahill or Arteta left me feeling deflated and sad.

But this lot ?

I just hate them to be honest, they are not worthy of wearing the Blue shirt.

If Moshiri doesn't address every facet of this tribute act of a football club, then he deserves to lose every penny invested.

Are you physic?

Actually I would have agreed with you anyway.

No need to wait until tomorrow, get rid now.

He could then make his way home on his own, because he will only blame the players for his demise.

Thank you Sam, you did what you were asked to do.

However, if you stay (god forbid) I will never go to a game home or away again (and I do quite a few away games) until you and the other hangers on are gone.

No Cup run.

A disgrace in the Europa League.

Minus 14 goal difference.

Most appalling embarrassing diabolically unbalanced Everton midfield I've seen for years!

Absolutely appalling season and if Moshiri has anything about him he'll show this standard should never be tolerated or seen at Everton again!!

These lads will score 8 or 9 goals sporadically across the season but they are not 20-25 goal strikers nor do they possess the hold up and technical qualities required and seen by the strikers at the top clubs.

I remember when many on this forum used to argue about the relative merits of Lukaku.

If only.

I have to agree with you.

There have been a lot of lows, however, being an Evertonian since 1964 this is the lowest I have ever felt.

Moshiri, you probably havn't got a magic wand, but whatever you have got wave it before we disappear into oblivion.

The problems run deep, but the biggest one for me, is that the spine of the team, hasn't even got a spine!

For a clear out of this messed up squad and a manager with vision.

No leadership qualities ( Phil Jagielka tries but age catching up and a lack of a Sylvain Distin or Lescott figure in his pomp beside him means it's useless now).

The midfield possesses not one drop of creativity nor pace.

The days when we could call upon leaders like Carsley or Phil Neville or creators like Pienaar and Arteta or goal grabbers and nuisance factors like Cahill or Fellaini are now replaced by brain dead sideways crabs and circus acts like Bolasie out on the wing.

The goal machine of Lukaku and pace and power has never been replaced and we are back to the days of honest toiler strikers that get a goal here and a goal there but not enough to get you sitting up thinking we have got a deadly marksman.

I don't know where Everton start this summer but there are many many areas that need addressing and not just brushed under the carpet once a new manager is in place.

He will go. The long Everton tradition of sentimental, cruising underachievement will remain. It's going to be a challenge to find another scapegoat quite so perfect as Sam.

Being based in the USA I've seen just about every Everton game live on TV and judging our performances many other games I've seen concerning the rest, we are easily the poorest team in just about every category.

If we start next season with this lot in place we must surely be relegation certainties.

As we all agree, a major change and clear out will be required starting now.

And when he's gone take a pat on the back all those that stood up or hired a plane to get rid of the Giant Blood Sucking Leech,but please let us all be alert if a similar imposter takes his seat in the future.

Onwards and upwards we can all but hope (yeah and pray !)

We may have the worst players in the league or play the worst football but our players were obviously motivated enough or whatever it was to achieve way, way more than WBA, Stoke and Swansea.

We're dire, but we're only the 13th worst in the league.

Back to May and Trump for me!

In my view the starting set up today was the recipe for defeat.

No lessons learnt from previous sad dabbles with is set up and basically the team plays like an ale house team on Sunday mornings.

Time for Deliverance, and the hope of better times mus5 come soon.

Uninspiring.

What he sent out today was the same old same old failures of the season and guess what ? They played the same old way, ineffective.

Only Funes was new today so it's unfair to point a finger at him.

What was the point of Walcott on the bench if he wasn't match fit when there are others who are fit ?

This man Allardyce has to go right now !!

They were both totally powderpuff today. and with the exception of Niasse and Davies the rest werent much better either.

I hope whoever comes in gets proper backing and not interference from Kenwright as we need wholesale changes to the squad and coaching.

That might be the most pathetic statistic of the campaign. Even Swansea - who just got relegated - managed to beat Liverpool, Arsenal and Burnley in a four-match stretch.

To Allardyce's supporters in the media, I would ask - can you point to a single signature performance during his tenure this season? The closest was probably the draw at Anfield - a match in which we conceded 80% of the possession and basically prayed for a penalty. Inspiring stuff.

The stench in the GP boardroom, needs sanitising now. The clubs board has made a mockery of the team and has no genuine respect for supporters.

The club is years behind the top 6 and in a rapidly changing world EFC can't live on its past glory.

At least no match day suffering for a couple of months, but the club has got to rebuild in the board room and build a new team. Gonna take time and patience.
Nice one Paul K.👍it's gonna take a miracle as the rest will grow stronger.

Hope eternal.

Time to pay off Allardyce, get in Silva or Fonseca & offload some of the deadwood. Bring in a couple of key signings but let the new manager have a full pre-season to work with what we have here. Instead of turmoil we need some stability.

I think the keys to Allardyce stabilising the club was his back to basics with defence & organization & settling on a first team & giving them a run of games together. Under Koeman there was far too much chopping & changing & too many players to bed in, though at the time it looked like decent business.

Niasse missed one or two chances but didn't seem to do too badly overall. Looked brighter than some of the others around him.

Fittingly I fell asleep in the first half and won't be rushing to watch a replay. It feels horrible to just not give a shit about a game. The only thing worth waiting up for is the announcement regarding Allardyce's removal and the exciting change I'm hoping we're about to commence.

Thank God this season's over.

I'm assuming Everton will be firing Sam at 9:00 a.m. BST, letting hime gather his items and belongings, and announcing his firing around 3:00 p.m. BST.

At 10:00 a.m. on my watch tomorrow morning I expect TW to be alight with rapturous posts about a New Dawn and hope for 2018-2019.

Those who say that Kenwright isn't responsible for 20 years of mediocrity need to do some serious thinking.

Evertonians have been cheated. We need a massive change starting with a much disliked, charlatan of a Manager. I just hope that we are still able to sign much needed "GOOD" players, and that we have somebody in charge who knows who are the right people to sign I live in hope.

I have been watching for seventy seasons since my dad took me to my first game in 1947. For a number of reasons this is just as disappointing as 1951 when we were relegated. Without a major overhaul it could happen again.

But the worst performer of all was the manager, who cluelessly played 3 at the back but started with 7 out of 10 of the outfield players all being defensively minded. Sam - last game of the season that we needed to win, in case Leicester did! Are you surprised that most of us think you are past it or an idiot or both?

If he continues in this vein and fails to act swiftly and with determination in firing Allardyce, he will lose what little respect I and a growing number of others, current have for him.

A saviour? Not yet, I'm afraid, and a very long way to go in proving he can make things happen to improve our status withing the premier league. Appointing Allardyce has put us back at least a year or too, so it's time he showed some guts and determination and acts swiftly to eradicate that mistake,TODAY, if he really cares about the football club.

"BREAKING NEWS "Everton sack manager Sam Allardyce"

The look on his face would be tremendous.

The “new “ Everton is the Club that is more interested in soup kitchens, yoga for the elderly, Unsworth spending nights out sleeping rough, anything but doing what it was set up for in 1878, play entertaining football and win trophies.

I have watched us as fans be slowly kidded along by Kenwright, the courtroom jester, for nearly the last twenty years and now the thought of Allardyce staying is too much. I for one am not interested in DVDs celebrating us beating Liverpool or for even finishing seventh (a few years back). Or sad songs churned out “ if you know your history“. Nor do I want ex-players, leeches on the gravy train, all towing the party line.

No, I want rid of them all – Unsworth, Jeffers, fucking Jose Baxter, Ferguson... P45s for the lot of them please. Then the likes of Sharp, “Snods”, Diamond” who try and brainwash us how great things are. They can go too.

Then there are the players. The worst bunch assembled in royal blue I can remember. If I owned Everton I would point blank refuse to pay them. Not one of them would get a game of a Sunday, the wankers.

I want Moshiri to come in and wield the biggest fireman's axe over the lot of them, write the lot of them off and start again. If he means business this is what he must do.

I think there is a board meeting midweek so they will release a statement soon after.

I will write it for them.

The board Everton FC have decided to part ways with Sam Allardyce with immediate effect. It has been decided that Sam is not the manager to take the club forward over the coming years.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Sam and his team for their hard work and professionalism in taking the club to 8th position and wish him every success in the future.

Everton F.C.

He still hasn't been sacked.

I have a horrible feeling...

Neither Niasse or Tosun have not really shown they can be part of an Everton revival next season.

Quicker players are needed especially coming from midfield and what they have at the moment doesn't give me confidence.

Some of the other lads, Vasic, Baningame and Davies may come on better under a better manager.

Allardyce is not going to do it.

Despite the mediocrity over the last 20 yearss we are 6th in the all time premier league points table.

City are below us but rising rapidly since 2008 (wonder what happened then. LOL) so it shows we can get there if we spend heavily and wisely starting with the coaching staff.

What he did this season was no different than what Tony Pulis did with West Brom or Mark Hughes did with Stoke last season. Being content to tread water in mid-table mediocrity quickly leads to stagnation and a potential downward spiral. He has to go.

Unbelievable!

I agree that he did look very uncomfortable when asked about his future and sweating like a stuck pig. Hopefully Wednesday is the day.
