I like Wilson. I'll never understand why Kompany wasted weeks playing as a number 10, when without Kolo he's our main threat out wide.

He signed a million wingers and then puts his best available in a position the player was not ready for.

RIP. Very good bowler. Back when cricket was great.

It was, even with figures like 40 overs, 21 maidens 6 for 43.

And yet for all the doom we may just basically need to be within 2 points of Forest before the final game. You can still point to refereeing decisions that would have kept us up and we are certainly a better team now than we were in August. Some of the football in the first half against a team that...

It's from Thursday, but it sums up his delusion for me. Does he think we are thick?

The one place Odobert should be playing is wide left. Does anyone other the Kompany think differently? Not playing Foster down the middle remains very weird as well. These types of choices and the poor use of subs are why we are going down.

summitclaret

It's worse than that. If Everton need an extra point or 2 after the season end, they can be given it, thus relegating a team that thought it had survived. This is all likely to end up in court.

summitclaret

Massive over valuations there.

summitclaret

How much are Trafford, Ramsey and Amdouni valued at? More importantly, Tresor?

My guess for the 4 is around £70m and it's a massive concern.

summitclaret

Suspect Vitineo is not playing because of the height advantage Everton have.

Maybe we’ll see Odobert out wide and Foster through the middle this time . We’ll have to wait and see.

Let's hope so.

summitclaret

Bring it on. This is THE season defining game.

summitclaret

To be honest regardless of whether they receive a further deduction or not I really don’t think it will help us. Had we beaten Wolves then maybe. Plus it’s a very tough ask expecting us to beat them on Saturday. Dyche will have his team well organised that’s for sure. Depends if we have learnt anyt...

I like Ekdal the only reason I listed him was if we keep o’sjea and esteve, we then have al-dakhil who is young and kompany rates highly, but then the question is Beyer, has his injury record put any club off making a move for him, I just see Ekdal being one of the ones we look to generate some cas...

Roberts 3m or 4m

McNally 1m
Bastien 500k
Twine 3m
Obafemi 2m
Weghorst 4m

Think that's about right and I'd be happy to see them all go for those amounts apart from Ekdal, who I'd keep if we go down, and maybe Twine. We have way too many players.

summitclaret

I thought this thread was going to be about our attempt on an empty net and would a goal have been given. It would have been natural justice if it had.

summitclaret

I have to agree. Odobert playing centrally, plus Foster wide and JBL narrow on the left blunted our attacking threat. Taylor saw lots of the ball on the left but doesn't have the trickery to threaten. Imagine what Odobert may have created from those positions. Add to that Fofana having a poor game ...

summitclaret

Absolutely shocking from VK to start Wilson in cm with Foster wide, instead of central. Then when he brought Jay on still didn't put Wilson wide left.

summitclaret

Couldn't give a sh1t. If we can defend a free kick like that we don't deserve to win.

summitclaret

My main concern even if we go down is the money that we may be committed to pay yet on Tresor and that we will be for Ramsey, Trafford and Amdouni. I hope that there a big proportion of their fees yet to be paid are performance based.

summitclaret

Yep, think he would be a good option at right back. We need to spend whay little is likely to be available next year on a left back, a dcm and a striker.

summitclaret

Everton could have 4 points added on by the Panel by then for being a super Club.

summitclaret

We somehow have managed to give ourselves a chance (substantially by bringing Cullin back) and the next 4 games are obviously key. They are all winnable, but surely we need to play Brownhill in cm, Wilson on the wing, with Zeki on the bench.

summitclaret

Still think he could do a Graham Alexander type role in front of our back two next year as a captain and an experienced leader on the pitch, would possibly help some of the young lads. IMO Well someone needs to. Biggest mistake of many this season is not playing someone in that role. Little sign of...

In the unlikely event that he got on, guess it would cost us a few million in add ons to City.

If true that should boost his confidence. Thrown in the deep end far too soon, without a life belt by VK.

Early to mid sixties. When we were a top 6 club. Followed by 1973 to 1975. Then the Dyche years.

summitclaret

VK is deluded. They play 5 in cm and we play 2. Odobert is not a nr 10. Brownhill should be in for JBL or Vitineo, allowing Berge to get forward. I'm sorry but yet again nothing learnt.

Agreed. Just about the maddest selection in a season of utter madness. If he can't see that we need 3 proper centre midfielders playing to be in games towards the end games there is no hope.

Moyes is such an experienced canny manager he will have already watched the Bournemouth video knowing it's what we will start with, Kompany must be the only manager who does the oppositions homework.

Well at least everyone so far thinks we should have only 3 attackers. Pity our manager thinks that we can play 4 and surrender midfield, when we can't defend.

This. If he’s not willing to change, adapt and accept where he’s gone wrong then there’s no hope going forward.

Correct. If he still can't see that we need 3 proper centre midfielders and at least try to control a game and be in with a chance of something towards the end, then all hope is gone.

I recommend you get the bucket collection going on Sunday. If the fans can raze £10 million or more, maybe there's a conversation you can have with Alan Pace - and Vincent Kompany.

About four times that needed and that's just for him.

From what I understand he is on significantly more than Dyche was.

summitclaret

The person responsible for the sending off is VK. Trafford obviously has had it drummed into him to pass out to a cm in such circumstances. Its utterly crazy and EVERYONE we play is ready for it. The stubborness on this and especially not playing 3 proper cm is appalling and no we can't get rid of V...

Enough to bankrupt us I would think.

No no yes yes

Vk stubborn as usual, but JBG is in for Ramsey, who is not a wide midfielder, improves us. Should really have Cullin in though instead.

summitclaret

Ditch 442 and we have hope. Cullen to come in as a third proper cm, allowing Berge to go more forward. Benson to play on the right of a front 3, with Zeki benched.

In response to your second question. I think it’s time for Amdouni to have a prolonged spell on the bench.

And be replaced by Benson, in a front 3, with 3 proper centre midfielders i.e. Berge, Browny and Josh.

summitclaret

Our defending of corners is consistently atrocious, including the crazy use of zonal marking, midgets marking giants and letting the opposition get in first to block Trafford. It a disgrace.

summitclaret

They are still looking for a left back.
