Mick was and is a good manager, up to a point. It's not his fault he was sacked around 6 months too late and to be honest his style of play and management gets the maximum out of his team but can't evolve.
Not great but we rarely looked likely to concede. Those little through balls just aren't coming off going forward at the moment so we look sloppy in attack. Excellent defence and thankfully Bennett played well 2Nd half and gave up his ridiculous and apparently 1 sided battle with Rhodes.
There have currently been too few games for the points gaps to really open. If the relative form of the first third of the season continues we will finish well over 20 points clear of Villa(!) and 6 ahead of second place.
Course that's quite a big if.
SEB was a fine goalscorer but did he have enough all round game to displace Leo? I don't think so but it would have been interesting to see. And certainly a fantastic option from the bench.
I'm more interested in the unlimited funds and other deals in the pipeline comments than Mr Ross' hyperbole and uninformed speculation. As for the club releasing their financial calculations to him words fail me. As this seems unlikely I'll assume that a multi-billion pounds outfit know how to...
Everton have potential but I'm not too worried - yet. Firstly it's certainly not as attractive a proposition as it was in June, secondly we were presumably not the best offer NES had in the summer, this is a longer term thing and thirdly Everton need some stability and Nuno would be a risk with...
It's one of the strangest things I've come across in football. They used to sing "we only hate Wolves and Ipswich" much to my puzzlement! Hating a team for 1 bad tackle?
As for the bogey team thing I haven't really noticed it (not like Boro away, Huddersfield away or Brighton anywhere). I tend...
As the thread is about remembrance Sunday the quote seems to me (and I could be wrong, been known) to conflate the event and glorifying war. I'm not actually sure that anyone in the modern world can be under any I'llusion as to what war or even so called "insurgency" such as Ireland or...
Remembrance day is not, as someone incorrectly posted above, about glorifying war but about remembering sacrifice. A sacrifice that most had little choice in making and certainly no choice in who or where they were fighting. If you don't support this fine but you should respect the event (if...
