on the plus side of the new managerial appointment we get Sammy Lee as the assistant manager. No bad thing.

Perhaps you should look at the Everton web site. They hate him. Perhaps you don't know about the difference between Everton and Liverpool.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Given my family are from Liverpool, I lived there, my grandfather played for Everton and my great-grandfather had some role ( what?) In Everton's founding I'll stick my neck out and say I do.

Further, I've met Sammy Lee and thought him OK.

Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

You obviously don't .          My point had nothing to do with Sammy Lee. The fact is he is a Liverpool man. ??????????????????????????????

Next Monday it's Liverpool. This clip shows the first derby I went to. Play 

And...just heard...we play them in cup 3rd round.

Normally I'd complain about a performance so poor as that, but anything goes in the derby.  Onto Newcastle.

Do this and get an away point. Hardly School of Science.

"Everton posted a 21% possession figure in the game, their lowest-ever in a Premier League match since 2003/04 (when Opta started recording possession).

Liverpool midfielder Henderson completed 60 passes - six more than all of Everton's players put together - in the opening 45 minutes alone."

I thought it was a penalty, yet one of the angles makes it look like a 100% dive.

I wonder how a VAR would go here.

Great to see Rooney slamming it home.

Clear cut pen..no question.

Interview with Klopp was great. Just oozes passion.

It's a boring appointment. Same old managers being rehashed time and again. Boring.

I find it amazing to see pundits, repeatably attack talented foreign mangers when they move to the premier league, blaming them for a lack of young English managers in the league. When it is actually this group of middle aged or old British managers who continually cycle through various teams blocking young English managers.

Ramble, and incoherent at that, starts...

It's not them...it's those that hold the purse strings. They seem to have bought into the discourse that , essentially says, younger domestic managers don't cut it. What drives that?

When Neville Southall stopped playing he made that particular point. He highlighted himself as an example of someone who would never get hired.

Can't think of the name but an ex Chelsea player was saying he got interviewed for a role. This after demonstrating his coaching ability. At the interview he got asked about an episode in which, twenty years earlier, he'd been sent off...eh??? It was, he said, clear the interviewer wanted some, any, reason to discount him...so as to appoint the lesser experienced , coaching wise, candidate from Europe.

In respect of Royce987's post I found this. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/42312029

English coach Graham Potter speaks to Football Focus about reaching remarkable new heights with Swedish side Ostersunds who will play Arsenal in the last 32 of the Europa League.

I think Liverpool will rest everyone for their next CL game and maybe that will give the toffees a chance... as long as rooney and morgan dont play in the mid together, both are too slow. 

I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological. 
07 Apr 21:40

decent match . thought we'd sneaked it at the end...aaaargh!!

Watched with a group of friends, all supporters of either aside, and the craic was immense.

"Allardyce, in his defence, can now point to a Premier League table that shows Everton lying in a comfortable eighth place after another three points, and a joyless season will end without anxiety.

He will regard this as the successful completion of the task he was recruited to perform - but it is increasingly hard to see how Allardyce's pragmatic style will win over the cynics among Everton supporters."

Hmm...

Moyes coming home?

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

Thread bump. Good win over Wolves after the shocker v Villa. Hopefully the new signings are settling in. Iwobi and Delph look like good buys. Fullbacks need to sort their sh1t out though. Digne and Coleman at fault for both goals v Wolves.

Its no longer a problem.

06 Sep 07:51

Coleman has done nothing for my fantasy team!

This season we seem to be slow to start....

Glad that season is over. Fingers crossed we have a productive "off-season" (7 weeks) are recruit a functioning midfield.

Its no longer a problem.

09 Sep 00:33

Allen, James and Doucoure. I'm happy so far. We may even start to fight for European spots again.

Its no longer a problem.

09 Sep 08:50

James could be huge for us... just depends which version of him shows up... Arsenal Sanchez or Man Utd Sanchez for example.

14 Sep 00:35

A first up win and the new recruits impressed. I have a glimmer of optimism now :-)

Its no longer a problem.

04 Oct 21:10

Unbeaten. Top of the league. Best attack. Playing beautiful football. New signings looking very impressive. Just need to stop the soft goals (Pickford). Liverpool up next but on their current for I'm very confident :-D

Its no longer a problem.

16 Oct 01:23

MASSIVE game this weekend. Best opportunity in a looooong time for us to "knock the bastards off". Fit, confident and in form.

Its no longer a problem.

17 Dec 20:17

I'm back to talk to myself :-) Great wins over top 6 sides Chelski and Leicester and both without James, Coleman and Digne. Up to 5th and only 2 points off second. A very out of form Arsenal this weekend is 3 points for the taking too. Top 4 at Xmas is highly possible.

Its no longer a problem.

You basically only have to score one goal or two if Arsenal get awarded a penalty to take all three points. Our attacking threat is nil.

5 passed Spurs (4 in regulation time) and 3 passed Man U. I think we have our scoring boots back. Hopefully we can stick a few past Fulham this weekend and then Man City midweek before the return Merseyside derby.

Its no longer a problem.
