Yeah. Everton have at least found their scoring boots. They concede too, but that's irrelevant with our woeful attack.

Expect Marco Silva to be in charge [of them] by then.

Not seen us play for a while?

I might be barking up the wrong tree, but do you know why Gareth Rogers left the club?

I would say pundits have seemingly been pretty blind to our plight until the last week or so.

Unless Gao is a double-agent and appoints Guy Whittingham.

Imagine if we landed him & Everton eventually nicked him off us as well You are right about our due diligence though. I'm not sure what was on MP's CV that indicated much of what we were after.

Are you officially now 'Not ITK' ?!

The more worrying thing is that we need to sell to generate money.

Everton offered him silly money though.

Whenever I read the name 'Gao', I always think of the mysterious ninja woman from Daredevil: I hope they are related, as she makes Cortese look like a puppy dog. *MLG Disclaimer* - Yes, I'm aware she's fictional.

I'm in full on meltdown mode currently. Big Sam in & Crouchie up top!

Indeed. Who sat in a room in the summer and carried out an in-depth review of last season, looked at our forward line and said: "Yup, that's fine - lets go with them this season".

At least you could see what Claude was doing with his interesting possibilities. We didn't high-press, but we had a style that you could see what we were trying to do. He also had a decent run at bringing in a few new lads. McQueen / Stephens / Sims all came through well. JWP had his best season. Ditto Romeu. I've no idea what we're doing under MP aside from not getting shots on target.

Today's result isn't really the problem. It's the games against the sides we should beat that's the problem.

Right now, so would I.

Maybe we should sub-contract Paul Mitchell to choose our next manager?

I'd still love to see a team goal/assist stat for when Tadic / Boufal play together at the same time. I'd rather Tadic makes way for JWP for a few games.

Would you have Boruc back?

We can't score goals though.

Yeah, he should be - if he's not, he's blocking the pathway for players like Alfie Jones.
