@Everton Thanks for everything including your patience and commitment when times must have been tough. Good luck and let's hope you get the game time and opportunities your deserve.
@ElBobble I don't understand Ndaiye wanting to go there. They may have a plan but not in Europe and I can't see them being any better than us. Big stadium, big wages maybe. Richy isn't the player he was either. Doesn't make us better but removes a player that doesn't want to be at the club
@ALANMYERSMEDIA Got to agree with all the O'Brien comments. Crying shame if he goes, and has to be replaced. Would like to have seen Aznou but other than that, a decent strong side and should be straightforward win (yeah I know, sorry!)
@Everton "Supporters who purchased a 2026/27 Everton shirt featuring a player who has since changed squad number, between 2 July and 10 August, will be able to exchange it for a replacement shirt featuring that player’s new number.."
@ALANMYERSMEDIA Our passing is sloppy and frustrating. Even with Pickford in goal I'm worried about the breakaway with this defence, doesn't instill confidence.
@ALANMYERSMEDIA Bottom line is we're not yet in a position to buy as many players of the quality fans are looking for yet. They said they had a two window plan but it will take longer. We have other positions we need to change more urgently IMO. Myko will do a job, we back the lads #UTFT#COYB
@ALANMYERSMEDIA Was it just coincidence they both retired at the same time Alan or did they decide to move because of changes at the club they weren't comfortable/happy with? Obviously I hope it's just their time to relax and nothing more (we're a cynical bunch at times, or maybe just me 😂).
@ALANMYERSMEDIA Need to be realistic so RB and CF(s) are priorities. LB if Adam isn't considered ready, DM if Gana goes. Decisions on Dibling (is he ready now), George (do we try and keep), Grealish (can we go again) will dictate any others. Squad needs freshening up (current youth or new).
@Everton We have to avoid being too reactionary and small margins can make big differences so I get his points but we were poor for the first 70 minutes today. Gave Spurs an easy ride. We need more quality, desire and goal threat added now. For the first time I'm now unsure about Moyes.
@Everton How it's turning up for the last 20 minutes of a game isn't good enough. Really poor performance seventy odd minutes. Wasted opportunity and only small progress compared to last season. So disappointing and questions on future direction needed.
@ALANMYERSMEDIA Time and again I think the same thing - consistency. We just can't maintain any. We're too up and down to allow us to really step up. Not sure if that's the players or the tactics from the manager not working. Bit of both I reckon.
@ALANMYERSMEDIA I'm sure plenty will suggest the technical difficulties at Spurs are convenient so they know the Hammers result 4/5 minutes before their game ends.
@Everton Attitude and desire needs to change in the second half. Second to everything and poor communication. They need a rocket. Everything is too easy for Spurs right now.
@ALANMYERSMEDIA Been the case most of the season unfortunately. Look lacking in confidence but get the feeling if we went ahead or pushed harder it could put doubt in the Spurs players. At the moment we're just playing into their hands IMO.
@ALANMYERSMEDIA Heart says Spurs but my head says West Ham. Not convinced we'll turn up sufficiently to get a win, regardless of how Moyes sets them up/motivates them. Out players are running out of steam. Hope I'm wrong but see Spurs getting a draw at least so West Ham result won't matter.
@ALANMYERSMEDIA No, but also think it might be a step too far if we qualified this year. Yes it would encourage better players but honestly think we'll not have a big enough squad and we'd suffer next year. Consolidate, strengthen and go again next year. A risk I know but could be a blessing.
