Everton banter 2

03 Dec 2025 08:30:38
A thought, Dibling behind Ndiaye and McNeil in pecking order, not playing games, promote an U21 and put Dibling in U21's for game time. Same with Aznoue.

03 Dec 2025 15:23:06
We will see when Ndiaye goes off to Afcon. Hopefully Dibbling will do an O'Brien and have us wondering why the feck he hasn't been playing. Balls in his court literally.

{Ed025's Note - they are big shoes to fill Brass, but i would certainly like to see more of Tyler mate..if only to see why we payed £45m for him..

Morning fellow evertonians one damming indictment I have just seen whilst on the BBC sport website I was looking at the top scorers in the premier League from haaland with 15 down to the players who only have three goals and no Everton strikers name is on that entire list only KDH and ndaiye make that just goes to show that apart from highlighting or glaring problem it just goes to show how far we have fallen and how we have accepted mediocrity really sad to see .

{Ed025's Note - yeah we definitely need a forward in the next window TB, great win yesterday though in spite of that and the lads are really putting a shift in even though we look a bit short in numbers, a couple needed in January even if its just loans mate..

03 Dec 2025 10:20:15
Haaland is a freak of nature 100 goals in 111 premiership games. Arsenals wage structure prevents of course but with him they would be away and clear even at this stage goal difference.

03 Dec 2025 15:24:14
If we had Haaland we would be top four, that's how good he is.

03 Dec 2025 18:14:35
Yeah BrassingtonBlue but we could only afford to play with a goalkeeper and Haaland ???.

02 Dec 2025 23:48:59
One thing that appears to be different with this second stint for Moyes is that the fragility seems to be gone when being ahead in matches. We have only dropped 4 points from winning positions this season. 2 against West Ham and Sunderland.

We controlled that game very well after going ahead tonight. There seemed to be a maturity about us in terms of keeping the ball and minimising danger. We had a spell towards the end between KDH, McNeil, Ndiaye and Jim, where they kept the ball well and had Bournemouth chasing shadows.

KDH was brilliant again tonight and it seems that deeper role suits him more. The lad can only get better as well, as he has only just managed to notch more PL games than he has Championship games last month.

If we can get 3 pts at the weekend, it will leave 2 very tough games against Chelsea and Arsenal but then our run turns very kind, probably our best run of fixtures in the season. We play Leeds at the end of said run, a few days before the window closes. If we can keep picking up points and staying within reach of the top 4, I wonder if the Friedkins will get excited and get their cheque books out.

Hopefully more positive times ahead for us Blues and boy do we deserve it.

03 Dec 2025 05:44:09
I was thinking the same thing BN. We have players now who can keep hold of the ball rather than just wacking it clear and inviting more pressure on to us. We are definitely only a few signings away from potentially having one of our best seasons for a long time.

03 Dec 2025 08:32:27
And the Villa game was definitely there for the taking.

03 Dec 2025 09:35:20
KDH has been saying for most of the season that his best position is playing in a deeper role.
Keep him there alongside Gana, and have Garner stay at right back. Thought the lad had a good game there last night.

Defended well and got forward well.
Keep Alcaraz in the forward position he will get better with games.
Find that striker and a long term replacement for Gana and we won’t be to bad.

03 Dec 2025 13:33:45
Toffeebwoy Grealish the goal deflect genius.

02 Dec 2025 22:32:26
Jim's deliveries tonight were brilliant. Hopefully that can be the standard moving forward. Baffles me how only a handful of PL players are capable of beating the first man.

Can't beat getting a snide goal like that to win the game. Massive result. Hopefully we can carry on against gravel mouth at the weekend.

Up the Ev!

02 Dec 2025 22:13:58
Great result after getting a thrashing at the weekend. Barry needs dropping if he offers nothing. Oh how we need a striker!

Great to see another clean sheet and Grealish register another goal. To think we played Harrison on the wing last season who managed one goal and no assists.

What I don’t get is Dibling sitting on the bench and bringing on McNeil.

02 Dec 2025 23:24:04
So we win 3 out of 4 and you want bsrry dropped, he's been a great part of these wins, he's not scored but contributed, get off the lads back we are 9th.

02 Dec 2025 23:43:55
At the beginning of the season if someone offered us being 7 points off 2nd after 14 games we would've snatched their arm off.
Let's cut them some slack.

03 Dec 2025 04:58:52
Yes we are 9th with a center-forward who has not scored all season, just think where we could be with one who can.

03 Dec 2025 07:51:38
I’m sorry but Barry is one of the worst strikers I’ve seen play in the blue shirt, a striker in January is clearly a necessity. Send Barry back to Spain on loan or something, he offers less than Beto.

{Ed025's Note - agreed Peter..

03 Dec 2025 15:27:20
Don't know I have seen a few that could give him a run for his money for that title.

02 Dec 2025 21:29:11
3 wins and 3 clean sheets in 4 and 1 absolute shocker. It's the Everton way and I'd take it in the next 4 too.

02 Dec 2025 21:39:10
We’ve reacted well to big defeats this season which shows great character and that we’re building belief that we can win games. There will be hiccups along the way.

02 Dec 2025 21:42:05
1.5 points a game, will take that. An average striker and we could be on 29 ish.

02 Dec 2025 21:27:22
Great away win. Is that the 1st time we have won at bournemouth?!

02 Dec 2025 21:39:22
Yes, Witty, and well deserved.

02 Dec 2025 21:11:05
YOY as he brought O Neil on the pitch.

{Ed025's Note - i am now banning the words.."at least Barry works hard",he is absolutely garbage and Beto is twice the player...and thats saying something..

02 Dec 2025 21:36:39
Agree ED no excuse for finishing (not) like that, seriously I watch non-league and there are guys there would put Barry's chances away before breakfast. Let's not hear the words young lad either, 23 . Take my hat off to Grealish aswell shooting at last. I said there would be a performance, us 'real' supporters know that ?.

{Ed025's Note - i was a non-believer tonight DFS and very glad to be proven wrong, terrible game but we were certainly the better side, we do need some players in January though mate..

02 Dec 2025 21:39:37
Couldn’t agree more Ed.

02 Dec 2025 21:50:20
Well a good away win at a difficult to win venue. Barry should have scored in the second-half, open goal and he skies it over the bar. I have never seen him have a good shot since he joined.
I have to say I love DH, he is like an old fashioned Everton midfield player, busts his guts, is all over the pitch, never gives in for 90 plus minutes and can also score.

Hopefully we can pick up a few more like him in the next few transfer windows.

02 Dec 2025 21:57:30
Robinson LB, Sanchez RB, Frendrup in CM and then McNeil heading out would be a great window Ed.

Don't think we will find a striker in Jan without having our pants pulled down. Hopefully a loan.

{Ed025's Note - sign me up BN..

02 Dec 2025 22:09:48
Keeping mine firmly up (not a pretty sight) just about impossible for a striker in Jan, be better off playing Keane as support to Beto and putting Barry as toffee ladies assistant. Bring Armstrong back from PNE.

02 Dec 2025 20:06:19
How does Stuart (hate EFC) Atwell nearly always on VAR against us.

02 Dec 2025 20:02:39
Barry’s positioning is just dreadful, he’s never in a position to receive the ball in the box. Make a run to the front post every now and again!

02 Dec 2025 20:35:59
JB he's never a footballer, I've never seen anybody run like him.

{Ed025's Note - he runs like a friggin Giraffe..

02 Dec 2025 21:39:34
He is chicken.

02 Dec 2025 21:40:35
Loan him back to Spain and get a striker in January.

02 Dec 2025 18:46:47
Didn't realise how thin are squad is when you look at tonight's starting 11 and the bench i will take a draw now.

02 Dec 2025 20:30:12
And no Tim on Sat, just been booked.

02 Dec 2025 20:38:27
Hope Garner doesn't get booked aswell.
