Hitting Digne with a weapon and that pitch invasion when somebody tried attack Vieira Not to mention the dodgy Russian money Fair enough but its not like we dont have a set of morons remember when our fans ran on the pitch when the game wasnt even finished in a cup game? The majority of the evetonians are like us passionate and love their club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor teams like Everton will always sprinkle in some horror performances but overall I think Dyche might get them 38/40 points. You also have to remember that we are miles better than about 8 or 10 teams in this league. There's a big gap between top 10 and the relegation fight in terms of quality.

Mantis Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I would say they're **** but they're such an incredibly jammy club that no doubt they'll fluke enough results over the season to just about stay up yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 They were very poor yesterday, I thought we had a good chance of winning, but was expecting Everton to make it difficult for us, but was incredibly easy, to the point where we could afford to rest players half way through the second half and then just basically comfortably see the game out, not a good sign for them, although they apparenlty played quite well against Fulham and were unlucky to lose. They've got games coming up against likes of Wolves, Sheffield United, Luton, and Bournemouth, so coming fixtures aren't too unkind to them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you KNOW how much the commentators well remind us that is is United-Arsenal from now on. *Things that piss you off that shouldn't. This is the main reason I don't want them to get relegated. It's a nice bit of trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Dyche interview after the game and he pretty much through the team under the bus saying he would have subbed them all off at half time. When he put out such pathetic tactics 2nd week in a row he has looked downbeat and is morphing into his Steve Bruce phase, be gone by Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Still can't work out why he set them up with 4 central midfielders to defend narrow and leave our left side unchecked, when our entire system is designed around our left back being able to bomb forward. If Moreno had been playing we'd have scored 6 or 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 A lot of media sympathy for Everton and also from Villa fans but not from me. I still remember lack of sympathy when we went down seven years ago from the media and opposition fans and I recall Everton fans being the worst. Dismissing us a cr*p team (true, but so are they now) but also taking the p*ss out of us for comparing ourselves to them and thinking they were bigger than us. They have got themselves into this mess for running their club atrociously bad and wasting money on players not fit for purpose. They will be very lucky to avoid a points deduction if they are found to have broken FFP rules through years of reckless spending. Big club like us yes, and sad for them, but given how no one gave a care in the world for us I really couldn't give a f*ck about their current plight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as Digne had a decent game, the only real threat we had from him was Diaby’s volley - looked like poor defending. Their tactics seemed to want to nullify the centre of the pitch thinking their defenders could deal with the forward threat. I don’t think there’s a massive amount wrong with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other teams revelling in your demise can be looked on as a form of compliment in my opinion. It shows that you’re relevant. The bigger they are, the harder they fall and all that. We took the piss out of Newcastle big style when we sent them down - would we have reserved the same treatment for, say, Southampton? Fans of other teams taking the piss is part and parcel of football. Personally, I have no real axe to grind with Everton and reading their forum, there’s an air of resignation around the club like there was with us in our dark times. I’d far rather reserve my energy for the hatred of multiple other teams (Sky 6, SHA etc) before them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
