Topic: Everton - The 777 Unflushables

[Crosby Nick]

Worst start to a season since 1994-95.

Jeez, that is bad. It’s hardly like they haven’t struggled before. I remember them losing 4-1 to United one October (98/99?) and at that point United had scored more goals at Goodison than Everton. and plenty of other years they’ve seemed doomed at this point only to recover.

Guess, as ever, they’re lucky there’s 3 or more equally bad sides knocking around this season. Still think Wolves and Palace look more likely to haul themselves out of trouble so just a case of whether one of the promoted sides can get it together quickly enough to overtake them.

How shite is that Beto - they coulda been 2 up within about 20 mins if he wasn't dogshit

MOTD highlights suggested Everton were better than Utd for 35 mins until they threw the game away. Hope they do that fucking mad kickoff v us on Saturday, we'll be 1 up in the first 20 secs

Pissed myself at the one that ended up in Salford Quays, absolute shite

Fella who I know through work went to watch them play Donny last season and said he looked a great player

The trouble with our friends across the Park is that they still hanker after the days of the big centre forward and Beto is tall

Other than Southampton, the other sides look like they have goals in them. Ipswich are starting to get used to this level and they have a couple of match winners. Leicester have goals in that side and obviously Wolves/Palace are better than the bitters.

I do actually think this is the season they go. Ipswich should have beaten the Mancs, Leicester should get the new manager bounce and RVN could get them playing better and as you say Wolves and Palace are both better sides - Everton are in the worst two in the league now.

11 points from 13 games and 10 goals speaks volumes.
It would just be their slimey luck to finish 3rd from bottom and the cheats go down instead.

It’s weird how they profess to want exciting football but disdain our type of football with pace goals and passing.
The days of a big centre forward diving onto crosses have passed.
Football has come a long way, with Liverpool leading the way in England with a passing game decreed by Shanks and developed by Bob Joe and then Kenny. Jurgen spiced it up with athleticism and some outrageously skillful players but look back at some of the games from the 70’s and you will see Liverpool pressing teams to distruction.
Everton fans still want to see a big centre forward piling in on crosses. It explains their weird devotion to Ferguson, who was a thug on the pitch and hardly what can be called prolific. Indeed their last great centre forward was Bob Latchford -who never scored a Derby goal. I recall when Lineker was banging in 40 goals in a season for them, hearing complaints that it was “boring” and “not how Everton play”.
Even Lukaku got stick off the made not manufactured brigade.
They hated the Martinez, Koemann, Silva style of passing game.

They've been a direct team.who rely on set plays and lumping it up to the big man throughout the Premier League era at least.

Played a bit of football under Martinez for a bit, but even then the attack was built around Lukaku.

[Kopenhagen]

The thought of them starting their first season at BMD in the Championship is just so funny.

It could be many seasons in the Championship if that happened.

Can see Moyles back there by the new year.

Shame as he's seemed ok since he left

He was decent in MOTD2 last night.

Yeah, even referenced his own failure following a legendary manager as a way of praising Slot who has succeeded in doing so (so far)

I agree with that mate. Ipswich are a decent side who have been a little unlucky and as I say, are playing some decent stuff. Liam Delap looks a real talent as well. Hell even Southampton are starting to look a little better. Everton are no doubt in deep shit

It was absolute madness. He was the best available goal scorer in the league, they were champions, he turned up and scored 40 goals in 57 games and the wanted rid of him. Probably didn't help that we won the league mind.

The excellent Pythagoras In Boots has done a video on Braithwaite's limitations, says his transfer fee should be £15 million.

Must admit, the £100M defender looked like a lower league player on Sunday

[Fromola]

I see The Winslow's closing on Goodison Road. The ground move won't be good for the local businesses.

Leicester looked woeful at the weekend. Did score one goal completely out of the blue largely thanks to Vardy but there was no pace about them, their midfield was just full of defensive midfielder types and they ended with a back three of Wout Faes, Connor Cody and Vestergaard.

And their fans hated them. Called for the Director of Football to quit, sang “this is embarrassing” and “we’re fucking shit” and gave the players dogs’ abuse at full time. All very entertaining but they did feel a bit doomed unless Mr Edd gets them going.

Roma's worst start in 46 years and losing at home tonight. 15th in the league.

That will quickly change if he gets the gig there.
"The return of the people's club".

Everyone seems to go a bit weird when they work for Everton. He'd have to go back to talking utter shite again, just to fit in.

No longer serving this:

[Only Me]

Had a lovely afternoon on satdee going round all of the boss boozers around Dale st with a load of old mates. A few proper blues among them, and they are suffering.

One lad said he started with his season ticket 30 years ago, and because it was his main source of enjoyment. Now he said he just sits in the pub after every match drinking 6 pints to drown his sorrows, and questioning why he still does it.

He mentioned their protest on Sunday, and one of the other lads said “how will anyone know it’s a protest? All you lot fucking do is boo all the time, and leave early”. Great question

Too much red on those bottles anyway.

Leicester, Everton and Southampton to get relegated then

At some point, Ipswich will click in this division, Wolves are fighting back and doing the shite this week will help and we all know Palace are well capable. Hell, Southampton might even grow a pair and kick on.

Coady, Faes, and Vestergaard is surely the worst back line in the league. Beyond grim, that.

Someone else started who according to the program, signed from Atalanta but can’t say I’d heard of him. But he must have been better than the other options!

Okoli, never heard of him so looked him up, was on loan at some Serie B side last season so didn't play against us

Was hooked after 30 mins or so for Vestergaard, no idea if he was injured or just shite

[Qston]

It has all gone very quiet on the takeover front. I wonder if they have stumbled on a £200m problem left by 777 etc

[disgraced cake]

Imagine how funny it'd be if the takeover collapsed on the eve of the derby

a couple of solid rumours, starting on Thursday, might do the trick.
