These clowns again on Football Focus, Ince, Gudjonnson and Dyche talking about sacking Sam how its unfair. Would someone show these ignorant idiots the stats of shots etc under him and see their argument then. Doing my head in big time now.

19 May 2018 16:02:23
didn't you know we were 30 points adrift when Sam came in and saved us.

Managers club always stick together. I don’t know an Everton fan that wanted him to stay. Time to look forward. Whether it’s Silva, Emery or someone else, it can’t be worse than the anti football we had to endure this season. We’ll need at least 3-4 new faces to move things forward on the pitch too mind.

Dyche is no different to Sam. The same type of football. Burnley only won 7 home games scoring 16 goals in 19 games and minus 1 difference. The two of them wouldn't know attacking football if it smacked them on their face.

As for the other Muppet Ince. WTF does he know about management? He hardly has a glowing CV.

These changes are great but I can't help but feel a little bit sorry for walsh.
A- he is a scout not a DOF and should never have been given that rule, he should of been head of recruitment and reporting to a DOF, and the jury is still out on a lot of our signings especially the ones that have not played
Klassen
Vaslic
Lookman
Sandro
Now I don't know what the future holds for any of these but if they come good you could argue he did his job, getting them to perform is not his job.

19 May 2018 13:01:58
Klaassens agent said that he won't move this summer as he wants to be a success at Everton. At least he going to give his best and if that's not good enough then so be it. Lookman and Vlasic need constant games, not play one week then out of squad for 6 matches. God knows what Sandro wants to do. Maybe if he is willing to stay, we could give him another chance to see if he adapts to our league.

19 May 2018 13:03:56
The thing is these were players that before signing for Everton were doing amazing things at their clubs especially in Klassen and Sandro, I think the new manager needs to sit down and see what happens I still think they could donate job for us, definitely want to see Lookman back big decisions to make for whoever takes over but exciting times ahead.

Defo Lee mate.

Thing with sandro is even on loan at sevilla this season hasn't done anything and missed hatful of chances. He is probably a confidence player and if we can build that up then he may score loads of goals.

19 May 2018 13:46:55
They were doing OK prior to joining us - not amazing. To arrive and make an instant impact you need to be top drawer. We’ve shown that we’re not willing bed players in.

Truebluemetz feel sorry for Mr Walsh why? I feel sorry for anyone that loses their job and in football particular. I am not certain but in order to get Walsh the Scout we had to adhere to his demands (through his agent) and the main one was he wished to be DoF. As such he was way above his pay grade, so no sympathy here.

Pickford is clearly our first-choice goalkeeper - hopefully for years to come.
Robles is likely to return to Spain.
Stekelenburg is an experienced backup, but is he good enough?
None of the goalkeepers in the U23s and U18s look ready for the first-team, although they are still developing as players.
So, do we need to recruit one or two goalkeepers as first-team backup for Pickford? If so, what should we be looking for (experience or potential) and, if we do recruit, who (realistically) should we be targeting (especially bearing in mind that they'll be mainly sitting on the bench) ?

19 May 2018 13:09:08
Difficult one that Bobby I think whoever we target must know they will be a number 2 and sat on the bench, so in that we need someone with experience to maybe help nurture Pickford and help with his progression who that is though I can't think of any names.

19 May 2018 18:04:04
Begovic for me. In his twilight years but still a top draw keeper. Whether he’d come and be a number two is another matter.

19 May 2018 18:43:22
Hewlett is a good keeper and one i would play in league cup this season see how he handles it, failing that i wouldn't mind darren randolf from boro he would be more than capable if jordan was out for a couple weeks. maybe Carson from west brom would be happy to be no2 in the prwm over number 1 in the championship? i dnt no just some ideas.

19 May 2018 09:17:33
We have several centre-backs on the books: Jagielka, Williams A., Funes Mori, Keane, Holgate and Pennington.
Others - like Browning, Connolly and Galloway - are full-backs who could play centre-back.
Then there are promising youngsters (Feeney, Gibson, etc. ) in the U23s and U18s.
Of all these players, which would you say have to leave AND how many new centre-backs would you say need to be brought in?

19 May 2018 09:27:58
I would get rid of williams and mori, loan out the younger ones, Browning to me isn't going to make it, or callaway, jags I think we should keep as he has been a great servant and can really help the younger ones, I'd even give him a coaching roll to keep him at our club, he's the type of player the younger ones look up to, great to have around the club.

19 May 2018 09:55:14
Simontoffeeman69: good call - who would you bring in?

19 May 2018 10:11:09
Sorry Jags has been a good defiant to the club, but filling the coaching staff with ex players who have one nothing does not work. We need new blood in with new ideas, and a winning mentality.
Who would I get rid of. Jags, Mori, Williams, Pennington, and Galloway. Need one centre back and a left back, two attacking midfielders. Oh and bring back Lookman.

19 May 2018 10:35:41
Woburnblue: I don’t have a problem with ex-Evertonians coaching the U23s, U18s, U16s, etc., as the youngsters should hopefully know, admire, trust and respect those coaches, BUT the coaches must be good at their jobs (primarily measured by how many of their players develop and progress to the next level up - although winning trophies would be a nice bonus and breed a winning mentality) AND the coaches MUST all work to the “identity” being fashioned by DoF Marcel Brands.

19 May 2018 11:26:28
I know you could argue he needs more time, but I'd be tempted to get rid of Keane. Get two harder, more physical CBs in. Maybe give him another season but he seems weak mentally and physically.

19 May 2018 14:44:19
Could not agree more, looks like a boy amonst men, had we not had so many problem eleswhere, this would have got more attention, we are cutting our losses eleswhere, and we sould just try to recover as much of the purchase price as we can.
