@Benjwinst Stop crying it in. Been relegation fodder for the last 4 years with a squad that’s been underinvested in. It was always going to take a couple of years to get moving in the right direction

TFG, Angus Kinnear and co need to set high standards and genuinely show some ambition now. Stagnation and treading water won’t take our club to where the fans want us to be. Pragmatic forward thinking approach, proactive not reactive planning. Over to you now to set the tone 🔵

@MattJFootball @lgatesphoto @Paddy_Boyland Is there a manager on the planet who could do better with that side when it’s one injury away from having the back 4 that’s started recently

🗣️Will have a Bank Holiday Bine out late morning/lunchtime with @Paddy_Boyland today. If you have any strong thoughts on the season/players/manager would be good to get them on here. Or on evertonbyline@gmail.com for anything longer form. Will read a few out #EFC

@Benjwinst They can’t spend loads of money on transfers due to the financial rules so it’s going to take time. This squad has seriously under invested in for 3/4 years. That defence alone needs at least £100 million to bring it up to speed

People are frustrated and disappointed ( me included ) with everything Everton. Upto the new owners to change that mentality and subsequently change the mentality of a suffering fanbase, any successful business has strong and ambitious leadership.

@elpivoteftbl I can appreciate that but for me just do whatever it takes to win something. Then worry about rebuilding the side. If we have to wait another 30 odd years then so be it.

@78Blue18 For me I have to believe there is a way to do it or whats the point

Average age of Villa’s starting lineup is 29.2 years old. They have had relatively poor transfer windows under Emery with the odd huge success (Rogers) but unless they start getting it right this cycle will end very quickly.

@elpivoteftbl I just don’t see any clubs outside of the “top 5” ever having a sustained period of success. Got to take your opportunity when it arises and make the most of it.

@elpivoteftbl We bought very poorly and almost ended up relegated twice. I know which I d prefer

@elpivoteftbl I’m sure they do but it’s not realistic to expect that for most of the teams in the league

@78Blue18 Yeh but sure they want it to continue and not end with one trophy

@greenallefc Would prefer their recruitment team

Something tells me Iraola is out of our league, lads

@PED7 @ToffeeTVEFC Can imagine how well those talks will go. We’ve got a fan base who want top6. The club has been circling the drain for years oh and Mykolenko and Keane are still first choice.

I've said this over the last few weeks consistently on @ToffeeTVEFC if Iraola is available we must talk to him

@Benjwinst Good luck to any manager getting a tune out of that back 4. Relegation fodder players need replacing.

If the manager is available that fits with the clubs strategy, plans, philosophy, recruitment for years to come you make the change this summer. I really hope they get it right, today like all season I really don’t see any sort of plan going forward. Include TFG in that aswell.

@Everton Special? Just fuck off. Club is a fucking joke.

A special moment for Seamus and his family. 💙

@campbellclaret @adamboultonTABB @AndyBurnhamGM Honestly just bore off. Your brand of politics has opened the door to Farage and co.

Lots to chew over in @AndyBurnhamGM itv i/v. Has worked out his big message, (Westminster doesn’t work, I’ve shown a different way can) and potential weak spots (eg markets/fiscal rules). Avoids really going for Farage as a way of showing respect to his supporters. Long term commitment on PR. Vaguer on EU rejoin. Solid on scrapping VAR!! Good manner, lots of passion (though over use of “not point scoring!” V interesting (and sensible) choice of first interviewer given @DanielHewittITV track record on serious policy choices esp housing.

@greenallefc @Benjwinst The manager has a track record of building and improving sides. Just over 12 months ago we were heading to another relegation battle now we are potentially a couple of wins away from Europe with the likes of mykolenko and Keane still playing most weeks.

Strikes me that the club are fine with another season like this one after the recent turbulence. I get it, but it does feel like next year might just be spent waiting for Moyes to leave in the summer. Standing still is a risky game to play in the Premier League

@daviddownie17 Say it again Dave please

Maybe not

@DaleJohnsonBBC @pbsportswriter Based on what? A possible foul on the goalkeeper? At what stage do you stop looking at the “incident”. There was definite fouls going on by Arsenal players too. Whole thing is a complete shambles. Feel got westham fans not a chance that given if it’s the other way around

Imagine being Darren England at that moment. The pressure to get the decision right as the VAR must have been immense. Monumental decision at both ends of the table - and the right one.

@CitizenSuburbia @TheGreenParty Would you claim a vote for Labour is a vote for sex offenders? Is that how it works?

@78Blue18 @TheGreenParty So on that basis 1. Badenoch is black so Tories have no racists 2. Zia Yusuf is Muslim and Reform have no Islamophobes. Not really true is it.

“What you get when you vote Green are local, very hardworking councillors who are absolutely committed to two vested interests - people and planet.” Green Party Deputy Leader Rachel Millward contrasts Green councillors with other parties on #BBCQT

@CitizenSuburbia @TheGreenParty Strange that when you consider the leader of the Green Party is Jewish

@TheGreenParty No, what you get when voting for Greens are race baiting, Jew hating, IRGC useful idiots

@RyanSoccerAA There’s been plenty of examples of players who have took a year to settle and not played much in their first season, it’s nothing new. Especially in Rohls case it’s the position we have the most depth in. Theres hardly any players TB ages playing regular minutes in the PL

I would dig out all the quotes over the years from top managers saying how the most important thing for youth development is meaningful minutes, game in game out, in difficult environments, but this is such a common viewpoint at this point I would be wasting my time.

@Refsplaining @Bjarne147 It’s not evidence is it? It’s like saying Dermot on ref watch agreed with the VAR decision. Without wanting to sound like Roy Keane, that’s why they are employed. It’s their job to do that.

@Bjarne147 I didn't defend anything, just pointed to the nearest we have to evidence rather than supposition. I don't agree with all the verdicts, but this is how referees are judged officially, so everyone may as well know these outcomes

There have been five refereeing errors in Everton matches according to the PL’s independent panel, which comprises four ex-players and one ref. Everton benefited from four, against Wolves (a), Villa (a), Arsenal (a) and Chelsea (h) 1/2
