    Libby, it’s got FA to do with pricing I can assure you. You’re in cloud cuckoo land if you really believe that.

    What 0-9? Must have wiped that one from my memory :bandit:


    From what we've seen in the season so far though I'd be staggered if they didn't finish bottom.

    From tonight’s performance it’s pretty clear that we are gonna be thrashed again soon.

    If Ralph plays this 4-2-4 against Leicester away, then he is out of his mind.

    With Ralph, I’m convinced we will finish bottom. He’s clueless.

    No, not me. I just said I thought it sounded like a Fat Sam team. I felt a little bit dirty.

    I don’t want Allardyce.

    I wouldn't say **** all, I personally of people who want pay stupid prices for games. I decided as soon as they were released, for example, that I wouldn't be attending an A* or A match at St Marys this season.

    Okay maybe not an issue as such for Norwich/Watford but I'd say definitely a factor for tonight. Have we had one sell out this season?

    @tomw24 In answer to your earlier request, I’d take Marco Silva right now.

    We should try a back three with vestergaard in it. Or try yoshida in place of Stephens. Maybe we should give danso a go at LB. Adams has got to be a good option up front, let’s try that. Three in midfield with Romeu as an extra defender, we should give that a go.

    He’s not clueless but he’s definitely running out of things to try.

    Funny that, I remember saying something very similar just before when Mark Hughes was appointed. And before him!
    In fairness Ralph and co did get an improvement that is sure. But we have gone backwards now for months with rare glimpses of what they can do. So I’m left with feeling that with PEH being so far off his A game, Redders, Cedric too, there is a problem stemming from the coaching/tactics side of things, as clearly as we have seen time and again, there is no ‘way’ of teamwork happening on the pitch. The last thing I want to see or hear is a player put up for the post match stuff saying, ‘we need to focus more, work harder etc’. Three seasons of that trite has been increasingly embarrassing.

    Maybe, Based on the idea that he could bring Richarlison with him. And half the Everton squad.

    So tell me why you think Ralph is worth keeping then?

    I agree that the 4-2-4 was silly to play tonight and said so before and during the match. Was never going to go well against a side with quality midfielders like West Ham.

    I think there's a decent chance we'll go down but I really can't see us finishing bottom, I guess we'll find out though.

    I'm not convinced a new manager is going to do much better anyway, a temporary new manager bounce perhaps, but we all know our problems run far deeper.

    He is clueless. He played a 2 man midfield against a team whose strongest area is the midfield. Only realised his error at half time when we were 1-0 down.
