Everton Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2024/25

Well done blues. Staggering progress being made under Lampard. Real bite and togetherness developing in these players.

Although, I've still not seen anything from McNeil to be say he's going to bring anything. Weakened the side for me when he came on.

When DCL returns we will have a decent team. Hopefully stays fit, given FFP our recruitment under Thelwell has been much improved , except for McNeill . with Pickforrd, Patterson, Coady, Tarkowski, Onana , Gueye and Iwobi we have a decent spine to the team , first since maybe Moyes era . Clement is a good coach so expect us to start winning a few , mid table is our main expectation this year, until we get better forwards thats our level, but better than lat year.

Watched some highlights , the Forest collapse was like us last year. We'll be grand

all quiet, maybe puts Saturday into perspective, and now Pickford is out for a few weeks.

Its happening lots of teams - too much football - the European teams are playing 2 competive games a week, we have another international break (which is more games ) - then another break (only a World cup) - players aren't robots, top players are been flogged for more money

You'll shortly be begging for football with the wall-to-wall Queen coverage these days

a few weeks - meanwhile the rugby and everything else is business as usual - madness - one week would have been sufficient, she was 96 , had a happy privileged life, alot more tragedy happening in the world, including in the UK.

Great to get a win. So much more solid this season. Not playing Keane makes a massive difference

Important win. There's a metal developing is this team.

Strong back 4.. Patterson is the business.

Gueye is still as good as ever.

Onana is going to be a beast and Iwobi is at the highest level his career has ever been at.

Gray was excellent today. Thought Gordon was utter sh*t.

Nice finish by Muapay but he can't lead the line all year. DCL needs to get and stay fit.

Overall, really building on something. Definitely progress being made.

Patterson off on a stretcher for Scotland tonight. How unlucky is this club. So far this season we've lost DCL, mina, Godfrey, holgate, doucoure, Pickford and now Patterson and we're only 7 games in.

Heard that about DCL alright. Hopefully a minor setback.

Allan leaves for UAE on permanent deal

I had such hope when he arrived, delivered very little - a couple of decent games.

But at a much slower pace. He was so slow and not able to cover the ground. To get Allan Gomes Delph out the door and replace them with onana gana and a revistilised Iwobi is a big upgrade

Well I would, was rubbish all last year, and might have been decent at the start of Carlo reign, but if you remember we were rubbish for much of Carlos last season, and dont remember Allan covering all that ground and setting a high tempo -Gueye did much much more effective work in his time.

PS But we have much worse on our books the past few years, Gbamin, Delph, Gomes, Tosun and won't mention Siggy

I think, and hope, Gbamin and Alli are gone.

I think they are both in Turkey - ther was something in the Alli contract where he had to play a certain amount of games before we paid, dont think he did (or will) come anywhere close to hitting that number .

seams the worst signing so far , from a fairly decent summer widow (at last) . I'll be shocked if he develops.

The signings this year, have been much improved, and needed , bound to get one wrong , McNeill looked promising when he started out at Burnley, but unless his confidence is shot , lpoks a Championchip player now, to me.

Patterson out for 5 weeks - not the worst - but realistically won't be back until after WC

I guess I have to start believing now 👍
