    agree, those managers really hard to get behind, the wheels firmly came off - hopefully Moyes can get us back on track.

    Right, he's the manager now so let's just get behind him and the team is how I see it.

    Would a more progressive manager have been better for the long term, sure, but would a more progressive manager keep us up with the current crop of players, sadly I think the honest answer to that would be a resounding no.

    UTFT!!

    Not blaming the players ?? Apart from Pickford, Brantwaithe and maybe Ndiaye, they're not Prem material.

    I disagree. When they have been allowed play they can do it. 5-1 away to Brighton and 4-0 against Wolves.

    It’s a mentality issue

    Villa are a decent side. I’ll be happy with a draw.

    Need a (proper) striker and pacy winger as soon as - going nowhere with Harrison and Calvent Lewis, I dont know if his head is turned , but its like Maupay up front, one goal all season.

    His head wasn't turned. He just isn't that good.

    He had a good run for about 18 months but before and after that he has been muck.

    I'd bite someone's hand off if we could get 20m

    He shouldnt be playing if he cannot score

    Could have won that game 2-1.

    Villa are decent but didn't do much last night. They were gifted two gilt edge chances, both in completely needless circumstances, of which they took one.

    At least Moyes will have seen with his own eyes that Harrison, Dacoure and probably DCL won't win you football matches.

    Priorities for me would have to be a striker, no 10 and a right midfielder.

    I also think the three at the back should be explored further

    20m? Missing a decimal point there. He's out of contract in the summer so we're getting nothing for him.

    Moyes always used the 3rd centre back late sub - with Weir in the Past - the Picking of the same team was a big mistake , at least he seen how bad the likes of harrison is

    I didn't realise that DCL was out of contact in the summer. I'd say he was holding out hoping his form would return so he would get a better contract.

    I'd expect any new contract to be at a significantly lower level than what he is currently on

    I would hope that we start the re-build without DCL , as you said previously far too inconsistent, Beto is not much better either , need a new proper 9 - going to be very difficult at this stage , given Arsenal are struggling to recruit one.

    Real no.9s are like hens teeth. Most youth teams only play with one striker so it seems like fewer and fewer come through.

    Every team we (my u14 team) play at youth level play against have only one striker. It’s the norm now and has been for a decade.

    Who was the last great no.9 before Haaland?


    Even Haaland get stick for not working hard enough.

    Thers a few around , I really like what Bournemouth are doing with recruitment, they look potent up front.

    And an apology on Gordon , he really has developed at Newcastle . Newcastle recruitment being very good, given they have more money than anyone , they just brought in a few real quality signings each window, in comparison to the scattergun approach under Moshiri.

    Another big game tomorrow , dont feal good about it, cause of our non potent strike force

    I would maybe look at a loan for Richi if fit , it hasnt worked out for him at Spurs , given the scarcity of realistic targets, could be a long shot - if fit - he seamed to like Everton.

    Good to see a bit of positive play up front , DCL scoring and playing well will do him good , Ndiaye has been a great buy.

    Haven't enjoyed a half of football like that in a long long time. Playing footie with real intent. Ball on the deck. Those players showed that they can play. DCL looked reinvigorated.

    Dacoure remains a weak link and needs replacing. Keane was poor when he came on. That ball should never have reached Richarlison.

    Everton are going to find it very hard to replace Gana. I'll miss him greatly.

    Anyway In Moyes I trust.

    Oh and great stuff seeing Jake getting a run out. He did well. I prefer 3 at the back. We must have one of the biggest back threes in the league.

    I never want to see Keane play for Everton again. The guy is a disaster.
