Sour Mash

If we finish 5th, has the season fizzled out?

Why on earth is it alarming? What quality would you be expecting from them?

Agreed, they've been very lucky stumbling across Kane who's made the difference to an otherwise average side this year.

Compare Spurs performance today to our recent performances. They're being completely dominated by Burnley. Kane or Erickson will probably nick an 89th min winner though.

Italy don't look a poor team to me. Phil Jones isn't a poor player and neither is Pelle.

What do you expect him to say? What would you prefer?

For what it's worth I thought JWP, Pellè and Long were key at really pulling Everton around in the first 20 mins or so.

The English are very similar to the Scots and Welsh, you couldn't get much more similar. But it's not to do with borders, it's to do with cultures.

It's not to do with borders, it's to do with cultures, language etc. Scandinavians are close as they have similar cultures, similar reasons many Brits would feel closer to Aussies or Canadians than Greeks for example.

855mins isn't a huge sample to take from. And it's all irrelevant anyway if he can't manage being part of the team.

I thought both yesterday and the West Brom away game were similar - if we'd got the first goal, we'd have gone on to win comfortably. Easy to say in hindsight I know, but it makes a massive difference to our game. Both matches the opposition sat deep, let us play in front of them and time wasted the game out.

What are the benefits? If a nation doesn't control it's own borders or make it's own laws, it's not much of a nation.

How do you know for a fact Koeman has been impressed?

Please tell me you're not being serious?

He wasn't woeful at all, stop f*****g moaning. Koeman should have used Mane better and we still lack a really creative 'No. 10', those are more our problems than Pellè (yes, he could obviously be better.....)

Why have you post it straight after today's game then?

Some of the reaction on here is an absolute joke, proper modern day football fan ******s. We went to Goodison, played better than a decent Everton side, just missed out on going 5th in the Prem in April. Have a word with yourselves. We've got a fantastic side, the best in a generation, enjoy it.

I thought Long played well today. Didn't he create Pelle's first half chance?

An example of someone that has never worked in business in their life I guess. Sad to see

What a load of crap. And anyway, who would you replace them with?

You talking to me?

Agreed. Lost possession a few times and didn't bomb forward and overlap as much. Still settling in I guess.

But one set has earned the money, the other hasn't. Most companies and self employed people find ways to minimise the tax they pay, only an idiot would do otherwise.

Fascinating. I take it you have an arbitrary amount that people can earn from just hard work? Loads of every day people would pay less tax than they can, nothing to do with the"Mega Rich".

It can't still stand as it's in complete contradiction to the post I was replying to, so doesn't really make much sense.
