But none of them were fouls, were they? Stood on his heel, but I think ref gave it for second one and then got off the hook by way of the first one being the actual foul. Sky making out that he was playing advantage and brought it back for first foul, but there’s no way you play advantage when the ...

Absolutely terrible, but still enough to get 65%
More points than burnkey have this season.

…and so they should with a squad full of internationals and PL experience.

England should build their team around Palmer, and Foden, and Grealish, oh, and Kane, and Madison, and Bellingham.

…and Saka.

agreenwood

Bizarrely Palmer may not even make the England squad.

In all seriousness do England have the two most in form players in the premier league this season?

Palmer and Foden are looking out of this world at the moment

Newcastle, get out a beer. I agree with you.

Both are fantastic and a joy to watch.

How’s Everton’s fitness, effort and togetherness looking tonight?

agreenwood

Maybe, maybe not. Some of our players do noticeably look tired towards the end of games. Without wishing to draw comparison to Dyche’s sides I felt we used to be the opposite and would often not even make a single substitute. Perhaps we play a higher intensity game, also we have younger players who...

Well my mistake then. I thought it was relevant because the players who have barely played were the ones brought back.

It is easy to list it as something VK has done wrong though because it’s easy to see why it was wrong.

Why was it wrong?

Bring Vigouroux in and send both Trafford and Muric to Everton to work with Billy Mercer for a month or so

No ta.

I’m not sure if it’s fitness but we seem to run out of steam as games draw to an end. Not helped by the fact that our substitutes often don’t add any sort of spark.

Confidence and nouse, probably. Fitness, no.

agreenwood

No impact, which I think is the point. No. I think Milltown’s original point appears to be that VK brought them back too early. Otherwise I don’t see the relevance to a fitness thread. To be honest I don’t remember much critism of it at the time. Easy in hindsight to add it to the growing list of t...

Especially not given most of the players he called back have either been shipped out somewhere else now or have hardly featured.

What a braindead decision.

If they aren’t here or aren’t playing, what impact has it had on this team’s fitness?

agreenwood

I’m not sure I can see a team lacking fitness being in so many close games at this point of the season. You’d expect us to be struggling to stay in games at the back end of the season, but we’ve actually been in more games of late and even nearly beat Chelsea with 10 men. The problem is in the perso...

I’m not sure I miss his last 18 months, which seem to have been wiped from various memories whenever the current situation is compared to this season.

The lack of any real chatter about the Odobert incident yesterday, left me assuming that those who’d had the benefit of seeing a replay had decided it wasn’t a penalty. Having now watched it back myself, it’s a penalty. He crashes into Odobert before he clumsily gets contact on the ball. Completely ...

agreenwood

It was certainly off AFTER the mistake. I watched him for quite a while afterwards and it was clear he’d been affected by it. That then begs the question “where’s the captain?” I want to see a leader taking control and managing his players in that moment. Anyway, Muric carries on for me. I’m sure T...

agreenwood

He missed the Odobert penalty for starters.

agreenwood

Muric is a better goalkeeper for us than Trafford is right now. I suspect that might change as Trafford matures and gains experience.

No doubt Muric was poor today though. It wasn’t just the goal. His distribution was off.

agreenwood

It’s ******* pointless marking when people are giving 4s to a 19 year old who played in three fantastic crosses as part of some sort of myopic “no end product” narrative.

Travel to away games is all I’d be interested in I think.

Easy to ask for and far harder to arrange.

Every club uses the word 'project'

Imagine being triggered by the word 'project'

Agreed. Most clubs have a strategy that looks a few years ahead. Not sure what the difference between a strategy, approach or project is really.

agreenwood

It’s easy to deride things when they aren’t going well, but whether what we’re doing is a “project” or just an approach, it appeals to me and I’ve been more engaged over the last 2 years than I have been for a long time. I like the idea of bringing in young, technically gifted footballers. Of course...

agreenwood

Sounds to have been a hugely disappointing performance yesterday, but I always think you should search for mitigations, and I do think there's one yesterday that has been under-explored. We quite regularly struggled under Dyche with the third Premier League game of a 3 game week and Dyche would mak...

agreenwood

Do you want people to have a massive pile on Muric? He contributes so much more in a positive way than Trafford, that’s probably why there aren’t any threads on him. We had one shot on target. You can’t pin everything on him today, even though that was a huge turning point. I think Muric is great. ...

agreenwood

I do genuinely believe that last season was purely down to the ethos Dyche has imbedded in the key players in the squad. This next season will be a true indicator. It may sound harsh but I honestly couldn’t care less if we win every single game. He’s not a manager I want anywhere near this club “Wh...

Our form over the last ten games in our best form this season has us in the bottom two on 7 points.

We really haven’t improved just teams around us have been nearly as bad as we have

Limited you to fleeting visits though to be fair. Welcome back.

agreenwood

I won’t mark because my vantage point was the worst I think I’ve ever had in a stadium, but I’m amazed how many 5,6 & 7s Muric has received. His error was critical. We’d been the better side in the first half and it completely changed the feel of the game. The team looked deflated and so were the fa...

Has everyone forgot we now have the super Muric back in goals ? We won’t be getting batteredin our penalty area this time round .. and I’m going for a 1 .2 win … I’m confident we will beat Everton They scored from a corner (Onana) and a recycled cross following a corner (Tarkowski) when Muric was i...

They’ll try and bully us. They’ve already done it to us twice this season. We’re a young team with a lot less experience and know-how at this level. It could be a recipe for disaster or, as others have said, if we stand up to them and frustrate them for a decent spell early on, who knows what could ...

Sambo hasn't been getting in the team much at PSV.

Free transfer.

I suspect if he had been a regular at the team well clear at the top of Eredivisie and who reached the last 16 of the Champions League, he probably wouldn’t fancy a likely season in the Championship next season.

agreenwood

you would think that also confirms that Assignon isn't staying Wasn’t it £10m if we stayed up? We still look set to go down, so probably wise to act now if someone we want is available. Certainly don’t think we’d be shelling out £10m on a full back whilst in the Championship if his club insist on t...

No booking for Digne there. Deliberately takes down Doku as he’s gone past him.

Apparently not as bad as either Assignon challenge on Saturday.

It’s not constant, but they keep switching to it.

The TNT choice of camera angle in the Arsenal game is giving me motion sickness.

Our discipline has been pretty poor this season. Under Dyche we had six premier league red cards throughout his tenure and we’re talking games into the hundreds. This is definitely an area we should look to improve in It has and it hasn’t. We sit 10th in the “Fair Play” table and have one of the fe...

I think we’ve left ourselves too much to do, but there is a scenario where we could be out of the bottom 3 within the next few weeks. Obviously hinges on us winning, Luton losing and Everton getting a points deduction, but it’s not entirely implausible.

agreenwood

The most shocking one is only two home wins. That's killed us. The ridiculous decision to keep Muric sat on his backside until it's probably too late is also material to our pending demotion. Every single team in the PL would point out dodgy reffing against them, but make no mistake, we're the arch...

Three goals in 50 games for QPR.

He’s played out wide when I’ve seen him and I’d imagine a lot of those appearances will be off the bench. He’s only 20.

I’m not saying we should sign him, but he looks a genuine threat in the games I’ve seen.

Leicester just announced almost £100m in losses for last season. Some going considering they were in the PL. You’d imagine they lost a fair chunk this season too and as it stands there’s no guarantee they’ll make it back to the PL at the first time of asking. Brighton are sadly an outlier in this da...

I’ve been impressed with Sinclair Armstrong on the odd occasion I’ve seen him. Definitely raw, but aggressive, strong and quick.

I wouldn’t be surprised if one of he more ambitious Championship clubs take a punt on him before long.

We were spared any real tension last season, but I remember the run in the year we won the Championship under Dyche. It was a similar three horse race.

There’ll be some nervous Leeds, Ipswich and Leicester fans watching this.

Considering the outcry when Zaroury left in January, he’s hardly pulled up any trees at a side drifting out of play off contention .

CP - are Maguire’s player signings and sales figures the total value of players bought/sold during that period, or is it outgoings/income from player trading in that period (i.e. instalments from previous windows would be included)?

Despite all their difficulties, they reduced their wages by just 2% and spent almost £100m on players.

Feel for the fans, but the club deserves everything it gets.

He’s got a good chance to win the fans back around a little on Tuesday. I don’t think Newcastle have any players left after yesterday.

Maybe the increase is because we have to pay City another £4,000,000 now that our reserve goalkeeper has somehow got an England call up.

Guffaw. Your mates will like that one when you crack it the first 15 times.

Just looked at where we’d rank in terms of the cheapest adult season ticket if we’d be been in the Championship this season and charged next seasons prices.

We’d be offering the 9th cheapest.
