I always rated Walcott 😜

We are on a good run - hopefully keep it going into Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, and Liverpool games

One game at a time - palace next - 3 points please!

Lastly - I know Pickford has been dodgy last couple of games but he had no chance with either goal - their 2nd was a great finish.

I disagree bud I thought Walcott sigs and Delph where terrible and as for Iwobi well he pulled out of every 50/ 50 challenge and is another player who should be moved on.
I thought Delph was very unlucky to get sent off though and I thought we deserved the win I also want to give a shout out to Holgate I have argued with fellow blues over the last 13 months that he is the answer and he is now showing them I was right funnily enough they have been avoiding me 😂😂😂 great win though and onto palace next week which if we want Europe is a must win.

Holgate has been one of our best players this season. He's really stepped up.

02 Feb 2020 10:12:08
I was being sarcastic about Walcott.

Holgate has been brilliant. Our strength seems to lie in the younger players atm. I think that loan at West brom did him the world of good. He is significantly our best CB and arguably our best defensive player this season. He has been like a new signing. Walks ib the team every week and is one of the first names on the team sheet for me atm.

iwobi gets so much unfair stick. everygame he's picked out, he made a clear cut chance that richy maybe should have done better with and has our most successful rate of passes forward. he's a positive player who does fine, but still gets abuse for no reason.

You know a lot was being made of Everton signing a 29 year old midfielder. Well i have just watched Moutinho for Wolves who is 33, and probably the best passer of the ball on the pitch.
So let's not write off 29 year olds boys. If they are good enough, then it doesn't matter.

01 Feb 2020 19:33:17
Blue I said this about a month ago, I don’t care how old they are as long as they can do a job.

01 Feb 2020 19:36:04
I don’t think people have written the likes of Allan off due to their ago in isolation, it’s more a case that with the clubs situation i am not sure he fits the recruitment model.
But I would take each case for a player on its own merit, Gueye is now 30 and he can boss the midfield still gutted he went.

01 Feb 2020 20:00:49
Not sure what you’re on about Brassington?
Moutinho has always been class - regardless of age he doesn’t play for us though.

01 Feb 2020 20:08:36
If there good enough why not a 28+ player the younger players can learn a lot from them, in the short term we could possibly grow and raise reputation and attract better players. As southern toffee says we miss gueye and did any of us ever question his age?

{Ed025's Note - and we could bring back yakubu dunc...after all hes only 23...or so it says on his passport mate.. :)

01 Feb 2020 20:33:02
Ginger, try reading one word at a time, and then put a sentence together. It has nothing to do with who he is playing for.

01 Feb 2020 23:46:33
I have read your post and still it makes no sense to me.
What 29 year old was being written off?
Just because moutinho a 33 year old was the best player In the Man U game in your opinion doesn’t mean much.
We’ve got Schneiderlin, Sigurdsson, Delph and Walcott who are all 30 but none of them can dictate games for us or pass a ball that well.

fantastic result well played blue boys will have drink for that tonight well done C. O. Y. B.

01 Feb 2020 17:01:56
Not sure how I feel about that game or the performance. But coming from 2-0 down away from home is something that Everton can't usually do. Good 3 points. Watford only had 2 shots on target, not good for Pickford.

01 Feb 2020 20:22:51
Who cares really about how we get the result? I for one don’t as long as the 3 points are secured. Watford have been on a good run and I’m just glad we won (however it came) !

{Ed025's Note - im with you leicester, actually mate i thought it was quite an entertaining game..

01 Feb 2020 14:58:51
Gutted to see moise dropped woukd of likedto see moise an dcl upfront an Richarlison on the right for Walcott.
Fancy us todsy though to win and put a performance in.

I'm not CA and obviously he is seeing things I'm not but I'm disappointed Bernard is missing today and that he hasn't found any space on the bench at least for Gordon.

So just to recap our January transfer window.

In:
Jarrad Branthwaite (Carlisle, undisclosed)

Out:
Kieran Dowell (Wigan, loan)

Callum Connolly (Fleetwood, loan)

Cenk Tosun (Crystal Palace, loan)

Morgan Feeney (Tranmere, loan)

Lewis Gibson (Fleetwood, loan)

Jonas Lossl (Huddersfield, loan)

Antony Evans (Paderborn, loan)

Kieran Phillips (Huddersfield, loan)

I think it was always to be expected that we were going to have more going out than in. There are players like Martina (contract expiring in the summer) and Niasse who I genuinely expected to be going in this window if I'm honest. The biggest challenge will be to offload the unwanted players. No doubt it will be in motion approaching the next transfer window or months before. The summer should be interesting at least.

{Ed002's Note - The fee for JB is £1M plus £50k payment to The FA. There are no agent fees and relocation and other fees do not need to be disclosed, but won't be much.}
