It's dead easy putting up a graph of what someone has won as a manager. What do Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Man Utd, Spurs, Roma, Fenerbache have in common with current Everton predicament. Manager hires are all about suitability not reputation or history

Bournemouth 2nd in the Premier League on xPoints over the last 10 games. Everton 3rd bottom. Basically if you create more quality chances than you concede, you generally win more points. Relying solely on "nicking a goal" isn't a sustainable plan

But Thomas Franks a defensive manager isnt he????

People often call for managers to be given time or more windows. You have to earn it. Performances or developing players etc why should a club by into you if your not showing any shoots of positive work

Am in shock! Who could of predicted Everton would lose not playing in a low block and coming out to attack...

Funny what not being in a low block does to Defenders

People want a new Everton but want Richarlison back and potentially to sign a on loan midfield for good money who played a few games and been alright. Have we not learned anything from last 7 years (Mangala decent btw but review at end of season rather than paying money before you know for sure)

Think DCL gets unfair stick sometimes. He plays against teams best defenders who are Fresh for 70 mins with no service then Broja comes on against tired legs when its more open as City pushing for a win and looks decent. Not a fair comparison is it

Jack Harrison being made a scapegoat....

4 on 2 and they the decisions 🤦🏻‍♂️

Can see why City's attack has become blunted. Quality of wingers is down, to much Gvardiol and Lewis on ball in creative positions. Lack of usual penetration and third man runs

Always find that 99.99% of people who hate the use of data in football have zero idea what they are talking about.

Think people forget Dominic Calvert Lewin won that game against Palace not Dele Alli

With loan players always best to see a full season sample size before wanting a club to go out and buy them asap.

Lots of revisionist history on Anton Robinson. Wasn't near ready when he left Everton, couldn't defend to save his life, had Baines and Digne in front of him. If he doesn't leave and go play all them games he isn't the player he is today. Worked out best for the player.

I understand the clamour to watch u18's & see what Evertons future could be but its important to not put insane expectations on the young players. Just 18 months ago you had biggish twitter accounts hailing Lewis Warrington when anyone who watched him in the game would tell you he a League 1 player

Severance, Invincible and Reacher all back on TV early next year 😀

NFL -Belichick to North Carolina is really interesting, will elite defensive prospects flock to Chapel Hill to play under him. If you want to play in NFL why not go to the best defensive coach of all time 🤷🏻‍♂️

I wrote this in March 2018. Alot of it is still true today. I see alot of blues asking for the same as i asked for in 2018. elpivoteftbl.wordpress.com/2018/03/11/t...

Gladiator 2 is absolutely pants. If you liked the first or are into films don't go and see it. Most frustrating film i seen in a while and i laughed at parts i wasn't supposed to

Dave Brailsford is the new Clive Woodward.

Amorim should just keep playing Yoro, Garnacho, Diallo and Hojlund while he builds his side. Will only benefit United long term. Arteta gave Saka and Martinelli consistent game time in Arsenals "poor seasons" and as they improved so did Arsenal, it also saved them millions

Wobes 👊🏻

Standards still very low i see 😤

Good result but ok performance. Wont beat better teams playing like that. Doesn't feel like a marker been laid down for me

When you on top you need to score

Chelsea doing well now all there signings have adapted to league funny how that works isn't it. Not everything is instant in football

Last 4 Managers (Tuchel, Favre, Rose and Terzic) for Dortmund who have managed longer than a season have a win rates between 61% and 65%. Their current manager Nuri Sahin has a win rate of 61%. Is the managers successes due to the institution that is Dortmund or they all of a similar level

If your mates with a player and get work an perks through a club, i cant take your opinions in a debate seriously. They are massively compromised!

Weight of the ball from Pirlo, the touch and the finish. FOOTBALL

Moyes and Leicester just seem a good fit. Gets back to what made them successful in beginning

If Branthwaite doesnt go on that loan to PSV, is he: 1: Playing regularly under Dyche? 2: Still at Everton?

Everton had 27 shots for 1.15 xG thats a average of 0.04 xG per shot. Thats got to be up there for lowest in PL history for more than 20 shots in a game. So basically we didnt create any real quality chance. Maybe bar Beto one were he HEADED it to row Z

If there was no plan B, what the hell was Plan A for the blues?

Tom Brady was listed on every injury report for 6 seasons. He played probably 85% of the games. Patriots obviously thought it was a clever mind game

Would Evertonians want Lee Carsley as manager if he hadnt played for Everton?

Everton are not in the same position as Villa when they sacked Gerrard squad wise. Everton are not in a position like Newcastle were to spend significantly under Howe. Everton's road back to where we believe we belong is a longer road. So shortcutting it with "winners" & "hollywood" managers is a no

Whats everyone's guilt pleasure film? Mine is Highlander 🙃 yes you can point out the 150 things wrong with it including a Belgian playing a Scot and a Scot playing a Egyptian but its great!

Erling Haaland went for less, not sure he that underrated Nypan
