Everton fans call their players rats so I can understand them wanting a love rat.

I'm all for having a decent 2nd choice keeper, but I pray to god there's more than this in the pipeline because a substitute Gk isn't going to solve the issues with our last 2 performances

seems suspicious when key targets keep slipping through (Oliseh, Guehi), doesn’t it? If you were into conspiracies, you could spin it like this: Mitchell and his crew didn't like that interview and are playing some long game to undermine Eddie’s progress by constantly missing out on his key transfer targets. Maybe they think that if they keep “failing,” Eddie will get frustrated, results will dip, and they’ll have an excuse to move him on. It’s like they’re quietly sabotaging the success he’s built to push their own agenda. But hey, that’s just a theory… or is it? 👀

 

canny imagination there. sadly lacking in your match day thread titles.

Was that only a year ago? Jesus thought that was a lot longer!

Pissing the bed eh? 

[Gemmill 49749]

Did you see the bit about the VAR yesterday though?

 

Makes you think.

The situation with Trippier is an odd one. His body language yesterday didn't look right at all.

I feel a bit sorry for this Greek lad we signed from Forest. He's now probably gonna be loaned out, having been used as a makeweight to meet PSR. This is a bloke's career being fucked about with cos of these stupid rules.

Absolutely. But his whole demanor just looked off. Is this what Shearer is talking about? If he's like this what's he like at training etc? We don't want him stinking the place out

That’s just speculation. As long as he’s contributing when called upon, who cares about his body language or what may be going on his personal life? He’s not to blame for our below par performances so far. He helped rescue a point when he came on and played a big role in how much better we looked second half

Na he’s on about the whole set up, I think. The players look like they can’t be fucked and Howe looks absolutely miserable. Howe has had a cob on since June tbf like.

I was right by the corner flag against Southampton and he was constantly on the side line and giving Tino loads of advice and keeping him right. Then loads of backchat whenever a Southampton player was about to take a corner / throw in  

 

He’ll look miserable because he’s just flushed his personal life down the shitter, but I have no doubt he’s still a top pro around the club.

I noticed on the telly that he was doing the leadership stuff still. Even yesterday, despite them showing him with his head in his hands and what not.

 

He might be a fuck up off the pitch but he’s still a model pro on it IMO. 

[Holden McGroin 7546]

The longer this goes on the more you start to worry that Howe is unhappy (whether it’s with new management or just in general)
 

He can’t improve the club if the players aren’t coming in.  I wonder if he is thinking now would be a good time to take the England job.  His stock might drop if he has the shackles on.

He only trained twice last week apparently

His personal life must be in massive upheaval.  I actually wonder if he was injured last season or just mentally injured.  He has never been the same since he left the England camp that time.
