Everton 2017/18

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

nah, that's like saying Aguero scores most of his goals against ''sh*t'' teams

if your're the top scorer of your nation, you deserve credit

It's nothing like saying that. Aguero scores his goals in meaningful competitive games against Premier League and Champions League opposition. What an incredibly silly thing to say

England’s top goal scorer ever deserves no credit is in my opinion more of an incredibly silly thing to say

Greaves yes, Lineker yes, Charlton yes. Rooney, not for me sorry. Too many penalties against sub standard teams in pointless friendlies. I get that he can only play and score against whoever he is put up against, but that too often was shite. When it counted against quality nations and in tournaments, he was like a ****

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

Allardyce is a far better manager than he's ever given credit for. He's assembled some top coaches on his backroom staff as well. Everton are lucky to have him.

Some telling stats about our Wazza.

He has scored 3 goals v teams in the current top 10 in the FIFA ranking - one in a friendly v Argentina in 2003, and two in friendlies v Brazil in 2013.
On the other hand, 21 of his goals have come against teams outside the top 50 nations.
He has scored five against San Marino, more than against any other country.

I make no comment. Draw your own conclusions.

You’ve never said this before. ;)

 

[Shuffs]

Just seen Rugheads goal. Thought it was gonna be alot better than it was, the way everyone was raving about it.

Great hit, but empty net, any pro should be able to do that.

But but but he scored a goal from the halfway line, surely an England recall is called for, he could lead us to victory in Russia.

Against whom, San Marino?

Agreed, an anti-climax.

Bolton is the only place he did a good job. Everywhere else since he ranged from average to disaster

Where exactly has he been a 'disaster'?

If you're hired to keep a team up and you keep them up, that's a success.

Newcastle got the big gig he harped on about him being capable of doing at the time and didn’t exactly pull up trees.

Best goal since the premier league started FFS do me a favour his mate Hart put it on a plate for him yet again...



Glad Pep seen through him..

 

[Larry Stranger]

What I see now is that there will be a problem for Everton post Big Sam. He will keep them up but I look at Crystal Palace as an example. After Sam they tried to hire a manager who played a more attractive style in De Boer, but he failed. The problem is they had to go from playing dinosaur football to try to switch to more of a progressive possession style which takes time to do and you won't get the instant results all the time. You can even look at us as an example going from Pellegrini to Pep. The players need time to adapt to the new system. With a club like Everton, with their new owner in Moshiri they have big hopes. Who do they replace Big Sam with and do they have patience if it doesn't instantly go their way?

They’ve been a mid table at best team for donkeys years - Give Sam 4/5 years and he will get them up near the top 6 - perhaps higher if more money to spend.
Problem is they will have a patch of poor games and every will point the finger at Allardyce, blame him for playing ‘dinosaur tactics’ ... yet forget they played worse under Koeman and other ‘exciting attacking’ managers.
