Bring us positive news on full backs and a striker and we will put you forward for the Honours List 💙

And the start of one if he keeps playing like that

*17 with one to play. Can’t please everyone

Merry Christmas, Paddy. Thanks for being so informative and engaging on the blues

Agreed on that but it’s clear that he doesn’t trust most of the subs. Huge rebuilding effort was about bringing in competitive players for first team then adding depth. Part of the first element has worked so far

And play who? JOB centre back, Charley at 10, McNeil and Dibbling wide with Tim holding and Patto at right back? At Chelsea…
Probably would makes sense given the easy banker next weekend.

We play 1 game per week and 4 outfield subs on the bench last week who had any level of fitness/experience…

@pbsportswriter.bsky.social @paddyboyland.bsky.social how they nearly got hold of us is up there with the Samuelson, McGeady and Niasse mysteries for me #efc

Equally, any of their U21 players look like they might be good enough for our first team?

No mention of “full backs” is a surprise @paddyboyland.bsky.social

What’s so annoying is we were 3 points off 6th. One stupid moment and we look downwards.
Newcastle made 6 changes to freshen up. We made 2 forced changes to plug gaps, 1 which massively failed.

Sorry, I thought it was as the goals went in!
You all do a great job so no disrespect at all… just surrounded by non-Evertonians I guess!!!

Doesn’t look like your fellow professionals were as enamoured 🫢

I heard if Toney leaves Saudi ever, then he has to pay Gerrard’s tax bill. Might not be true thoigh

The problem isn’t necessarily moving Garner, it’s more how do we replace him in midfield. Rohl has been injured and Tim still leaning.
In an ideal world, I’m sure the switch would have happened earlier but our squad doesn’t equate to an ideal world.

Ps. In an ideal world, we’d have a right back!!

A manager on a 2 year deal is never going to have eyes on the future over picking up points.
Think he will start on Saturday if IN not fit. He was scared on debut at HD.

Wigan, Tranmere, copious derbies
