Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

He picked players and tactics that he knew would fail because they had already failed many times before.

Shocking appointment really. IMO you would have been far better just sticking with Unsworth after hounding out Koeman.

 

My mum and her family were Chelsea fans since long before the early 70s FA Cup/Cup Winners' Cup days. if she was still alive she'd give you what for.

How have you calculated the number of new fans vs the number of old fans for each club? City's stadium holds nearly 15,000 more people.

 

They were ****ing awful under Unsworth, he made Pellegrino look competent ffs

 

City didn't sell out any of their home champions league games.

 

As you know I don't watch other teams so I know little about them. When something comes up on here that I know little or nothing about, I go and read about it [from good sources] before I comment. I learned that Silva started with some great results at Watford. 10 games in, Everton came calling and there was a dramatic change in results and performances. In all press conferences he refused to commit to Watford [who gave him a 2 year deal, not one year]. Rightly or wrongly the Watford board felt he had disrespected them and was showing no loyalty, so they too didn't need to show any, hence the sacking. In fairness all reports say he never lost the dressing room, the players speak highly of him.

Maybe my downed tools comment was wrong but I can't think of the right phrase that means couldn't be bothered and so didn't try very hard.

 

He will be a cheaper, less soundbite worthy Klopp.

 

It's 5th actually - and he shared 8th place finish with Rodgers. HIs only 2complete seasons average is 4th.

10th

 

They have a lot of them now and the future to look forward to.

 

Giving Unsworth 6 months to try to get up to speed would have been an infinitely better use of Everton's time and money than watching Fat Sam try to 0-0 his way to a multi-million pound bonus

 

Because he has nothing to say. Nothing manager for a nothing club openly admitting they aim to be the second best team in the city.

Nil satis nisi secundus

 

Second best, when did he say that?

 

I doubt it Like those before him, I reckon he's gone for the money.

 

Doesn't he want Everton to be the English Atletico Madrid - either him or someone at the club said it hence 'second best' ....

 

Not seen this comment.

 

The poor man's Klopp, gotcha

 

You just quoted it

 

Just the same. Nothing to put in the cabinet at the end of the season.

 

Perfect for Everton then...

 

Makes you wonder why Klopp has survived.

 

Probably nothing to do with us challenging, getting to finals, charging up the table, playing great football, amazing European nights ...... who knows
