Everton Banter Archive December 27 2018

Think if we replace ON with Mitrovic would be a great upgrade think he is a decent striker but he also puts his graftvi. When needed.

Salah not to be charged with simulation by the FA after his blatant dive yesterday. The FA say that because there was contact, albeit minimal, he won’t be charged? I’m sure that would have applied to Niasse against Palace wouldn’t it?

Fair to say all we ask for is consistency, we accepted the Niasse ban, yet time and again, other players are getting away with it week in week out.

I may be wrong but only Niasse and a West Ham player have faced bans for simulation.

The Salah and Martial one got swept under the carpet, whereas Niasse was greeted with banner headline of diving cheat and hung out to dry by the media.

That is the way has gone, one rule for the top boys, another for the rest.

The sooner they have a breakaway super league, the better because at the moment, our game is being destroyed by biased towards the top teams.

you can't mean that about the super league mate that will be the end ov us.

I do Johny, see how they do on an equal par, after a few seasons of not winning anything they would miss the Premier leagues from their Countries.

At least we would be on an equal footing with the rest and hopefully an end to the bias.

name any half decent player who would sign with a team. outside the super leagie, it would devalue the league so much we would suddenly be in the equivalent of league 1 mate we would lose all the sky money as the super league would get it all and we would crash as a business.

The only way for me for the game to be killed off is if they relaxed the fair play rule in transfers in the super league.

Let’s not forget all those top teams and only one trophy available for winning the league, at the moment those teams have a huge advantage in their leagues, it would not be so easy in a super league.

My guess after a few seasons, some of those teams would want to revert back to their own domestic leagues.

Sky dictate now without the slightest worry of inconveniencing fans with fixture changes, could even see a return of 3pm kick offs on a Saturday afternoon.

None of the above will not happen Johny, clubs are not that stupid to jump ship and form a super league.

{Ed002's Note - There is another meeting with it on the agenda in three weeks.}

Bring it on.

Embarrassing from the blues AGAIN.

Great result and good performance coming off the disappointment against spurs. Good to see the doom merchants quiet, at least if only for a few hours.

Silva/ brands Everton showed the improvements that have been made since big sams departure, we would never of performed like we did today under the last regime.

Hopefully the improvements keep coming and the window might help address the squads weaknesses.

Great little late present from the boys today’s, thanks lads.

I agree PB keep those doom merchants quiet, never liked them anyway, and never let the truth get in the way of a good fairytale.

smokey we won mate we win again satdy then win against Leicester
then progress in the cup and spurs will be a distant memory.

Beating Burnley at the present time is no big deal, let's go to Brighton and win. Nice to win and win well but it does not change my opinion of the state of the club.
Only posting just to let you know that the so called doom merchants as you like to call us are alive and well happy new year.

27 Dec 2018 18:35:57
i expect nothing less cloudy haha i get what your saying mate burnley is nothing special but if we beat brighton satdy, same brighton who just drew with arsenal will u admit that the world isn't that bad and wer a work in progress but wer heading in the right direction.

Everton having a blip against Spurs is no big deal either, Spurs are no mugs and will roll other teams over as well, for me everything that could go wrong did, the disallowed goal, our mix up in defence and the ball falling right in the path of an incoming Spurs player, we certainly helped Spurs, but for me a bad Day at the office, will happen to most teams.

Just a case of taking the good with the bad, Silva and Brands are still in their infancy, you just cannot expect everything to click right away unless you get a huge slice of luck.

The players brought in are doing an excellent job, the key is trying to get Gomes signed and a top class striker, depending how Kenny progresses then a right back as well.

Not sure how many seasons Klopp has been in charge, but he certainly got time to build his own team, just give Silva the same time to build his team and I think he will most certainly take us to the next level.

Forget the knee jerk reactions after a poor game, this guy needs time and the backing from us all to get us there.
