Deulofeu as MOTM. We were heavily linked with him last year weren't we? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're so far in debt and they have one of the worst squads in the league. And who's going to pay new stadium prices to watch that group of players play Dycheball?

When you get that level of effort from players what are you meant to do. They could finish bottom below Luton and Sheff Utd. A lot of clowns in that squad but they had no attacking desire. The sub at half time Dutton(I think) was the only one to try take us on We conceded 5 last week and we should have been rattled in the first 10 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the new stadium and it's increased commercial revenue isn't going to give them better training facilities, youth infrastructure and sensible transfer policy They're an absolute mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 The new stadium is what will save them. The amount of European football tourism that it will generate will be good for the whole city and good for Everton. It’s a crazy night here in Liverpool, as sports fans from all over europe fly in and book up every hotel room to see Everton vs Plymouth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy7211 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I won't post the link here, but Onana has been racially abused after the game by one of Everton's fans on Instagram. Hope they go down, and the moron who sent the message gets what's coming to him. There's no place for it in this world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2023 All that talk after last season's narrow escape of "We must never let this happen again". It's happening again, la. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 They looked awful today, their end was almost empty 10 mins before final whistle. Gonna be a long long season for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 There’s a lot of similarities between Everton now and Villa before we finally dropped. This might be their year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Bad start to the season for them, then there's Maupay's long, long run without scoring, now DCL with a new injury...yeah they could go down this time. But like last season, again I don't think they will. Perhaps DCL has a small cheek fracture but he might be back playing in about 5 or 6 weeks with one of those face masks. Yes, today they were bad but Dyche is a good manager to sort them out, make them hard to beat and keep them up again. And last season their many demanding, passionate fans fired up the team to stay up and they started playing well again. That 5-1 at Brighton was stunning.

mottaloo Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Just popped on to their forum (grandoldteam) .....jeez..... they really are bitter and depressed ! Michael Keane seems to be the main fall guy there. Smacks of us the year we went down. Grim stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 They have been teetering for a few seasons now, maybe it's their time? Be a close thing as Sheff Utd, Luton might have a bit more fight about them than many thought. Dobbin and Danjuma look the best players they have... On paper their midfield looks OK, Dwight McNeill did ok for them last season too....maybe that might be enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 They've spent almost zero money. Luton and Sheffield United will surely be below them, they just need another disastrous club. Wolves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Danjuma seemed to have something about him - the rest were utterly rotten. They’re in massive trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
