Isn’t Ramsey going to miss almost the entirety of next season (assumption, if it’s an ACL)? Certainly up to Christmas at minimum I’d think? I really hope we keep Brownhill for a year - Cullen, Berge, Brownhill wins us promotion for sure I think. The vital signing is a striker though. We simply must...

Can see where you're coming from. It hasn't been an easy watch. But I would suggest giving it a sense of perspective and not over-thinking it. After all, we all have choices.

Muric makes one mistake and he's docked almost the same amount of points as Everton, to those given Muric 3 or 4 FFS give your heads the biggest wobble ever.... CLUELESS The one mistake was terrible and so costly. It's understandable he's getting similar scores to when we played Everton including 3...

Then I don't get why you're claiming he doesn't know him well, if he's basically saying everything that you think too!

I'm saying it because if you know him well you don't say this:

Only Jay will know what he said and what he meant

It's not difficult

You disagreed with Tony's point about Jay, so what do you really think?

Was Jay being racist or not? Tony stated he didn't think he was.

Nope.

I don't think anyone who thinks they know him well would say this:

Only Jay will know what he said and what he meant

Does that mean you think he's a racist?

Nope.

I don't think he was cleared - more that the case couldn't be proven. I know Jay well and was shocked at the time thinking he just couldn't do that and I had a massive row with Andy Naylor (then Brighton Argus and now Athletic) who was branding him a racist. Only Jay will know what he said and what...

For the 10,000th time My 'agenda' is wanting players to play that: - Did nothing to be warranted being dropped in the first place - Are suited for our play style to maximise our chances of winning games of football Hence why I wanted Muric as I believed that he fit both of the above criteria. Even ...

You honestly have the mental capacity and temperament of an 8 year old girl. Wrong and wrong and wrong. I said it was a poor mistake, and reflected it in the ratings. If I thought Traff would give us a better chance of winning I'd want him in the net - what is so hard to comprehend? His central poi...

Can someone explain why this is bad? It seems like it's just clubs wilfully employing people to help them.

The agent acts on behalf of the player, not the club employing them.

Largely irrelevant now after the 3 points we handed them on Saturday.

It's not just about us though.

Bent is the right word.

taio

Of course - but if it's a high risk gameplan then every now and then stuff like that is bound to happen. People take poor touches all over the park, the problem is a poor touch or a misplaced pass deep in your own half usually leads to a key chance - Dyche knows this so he doesn't instruct it. Yet ...

Why would anyone not renew.

I've renewed, and I look forward to next season.

I would have thought there could be multiple reasons, including affordability and employment, to name just two.

taio

Muric's was the worst error this season when you consider the context. I'd have scored him a 4 but can understand the several ratings of 3 (not sure why one poster is being singled-out). A shame because he'd been doing very well on his return - he still needs to start on Saturday though.

Keep Brownhill and Taylor and let the others leave.

Arsenal won't win it
How are City the biggest cheats in PL History
Klopp is a decent man
So your wrong on all 3.

We weren't being asked who we think will win it.

Arsenal probably because I really dislike Liverpool and Man City have 115 pending charges for cheating.

What a plank you are! Playing to the audience. I haven’t said Kompany is ‘the worst thing to happen to the club’. I think he should go and I’ve said that since late Sep/Oct. I got banned for starting a Kompany out thread. Some of us discuss what we believe in not just want you think people want to ...

taio

I wouldn't be too bothered if we let Kompany go. This season has been calamitous. The number of times we have shot ourselves in the foot is beyond belief and far far far too often we just haven't been competitive. Everytime we find a rhythm he has to tinker with it and it always makes us worse. The...

Stats can show when someone is right and someone else is wrong. Like with you in this case. We have conceded 42 from non set pieces. Chelsea have conceded 38. Brentford 46. West Ham 40. Yes, we are poor at it, but there are worse sides. It isn’t the reason why we are going down. Attack is. And, I w...

I didn’t say I can’t see our defensive frailties, although I don’t think they’re necessarily something that didn’t exist last season, just they didn’t get exploited in the same way because the opposition was lower quality. Everything has to be done a lot quicker now and therefore our quality But th...

63% possession and just a single shot on target in a match where it was imperative that we got the opening goal (Everton 22 home matches without winning when the opponents have scored) was simply just not good enough.

Agree but our defensive errors had the greatest impact on the result.

taio

He might well be - still aren't going to win the league. Look at his goals in big games, talking final/semi finals, top 4 games. Just falls apart. Very different from a Drogba type who was ice cold in big games. Tremendously talented but it's a mark against him, sadly. Superb record against Arsenal

I think this is about the most sensible and reasonable post on this thread. I can’t remember any other mistakes like yesterday.

Interesting debate about Kompany and Dyche above, but it is harsh to call Everton a terrible team. They are TOP on expected goals scored from set pieces, near bottom on expected goals conceded. These stats show they do what is needed. Ugly but effective, as ever from Dyche. They would never go down...

taio

It's never a red card that, doesn't deny a goalscoring opportunity, it's just a mistimed tackle, a yellow at worst. It's Oliver though, who consistently makes wrong big decisions because he doesn't give himself time to think about the situation. Proper toaster pocket ref. Certainly not denying a go...

Any club wanting to sign Berg will be a great bet for relegation.

Our best player this season as acknowledged by many supporters, although they can spell his name correctly.

We were the better side in first half. Muric's huge error obviously changed the game, not helped by O'Shea that followed.

Top class striker and walks into the England side.

They have to or we are royally screwed. I'm caught between being completely baffled how much of a pigs ear they made of it in the summer and having faith in them to bounce back next season. Logic says we should but last summer does make me concerned - I just can't figure out how 'smart' people in K...

We don't have the technical ability to play out of the back as much as we do. It's led to far too many mistakes. Yesterday’s being the worst of the lot.

You would have to be pretty naive not to correlate the fact that previous owners didn't spend anything for a couple of seasons just prior to a leveraged buyout.

I reckon if that action had taken place on the halfway line there's every chance a free-kick would have been awarded.

Difference is Leicester went down because they weren't good enough to stop up as they didn't get enough points.
