The one where Walcott is the alternative

Ayew’s first goal in 40 odd games isn’t it? Only Southampton…….

He tried something different at Liverpool, probably the worst place to do it, but that’s our Ralph, always on the edge 🙄

There is no evidence to suggest the booster will last just three months. They can’t add the booster jab to the Covid passport until a reasonable time has passed for everyone to have had it. And that’s a farce cos despite Boris targeting 31 Dec if other areas are like mine it ain’t gonna happen. I live in Bournemouth and the booking mechanism wants me to go to Salisbury. They can eff right off.

Leicester score 4 against a team coached by Eddie Howe……who’d of thought it? 🤣

Theres more chance of Liverpool getting relegated than there is RH dropping Captain Marvel JWP

I really want to be pro Ralph but the odds are stacking up which leave me questioning if he is clueless or just plain stubborn. We play 2 central midfielders that, when they get over-run, we have no answer to. Without Romeu we are totally gutless, nobody in midfield will or can put their foot in. He insistence on running Livramento into the ground is a concern, only last season he was warning about over-using young players (Tella) but that seems to have been forgotten. The treatment of KWP who was one of our three best players last season is shameful. Its linked to the above, give Tino a rest and play KWP in his natural position with Perraud at left back. Just try it Ralph, Tino is great but he isnt the best defender. Dropping Lyanco yesterday after he's been fairly good to bring in a very rusty Stephens is just, well its typical RH team selections I suppose. Throwing McCarthy under the bus after the Brighton game. Ok he's come out and sort of apologised but the damage was already done. Rigid formation which incredibly he changes away to Liverpool creating another shit show after the set up used against Man City and Chelsea (until Captain Marvel got sent off) worked well. Taking a third of the season to realise Tella is better than Walcott. Its all stacking up and despite some claims that he is, I really dont see where RH leanrs from his mistakes.

If you want to know why Ralph is still there just ask yourself “who are they going to get to replace him?” I don’t think they’d have a bloody clue so they don’t even address the issue and stand by the waistcoated one.

Long is fit 🤣

We have worse as well which makes it even more depressing

Yeah, for a bit of balance this is Tim fkin Sherwood saying this on Sky, he keeps rattling out the JWP king of set pieces line as well !

Exactly, Brentford didn’t.

I think you are right, I cant remember what it was but i read on twitter that some sporting event (a firendly tournament in Netball or Volleyball? ) this Saturday had cut its indoor capacity to 35% because of the new variant etc.

99.9% sure you guess wrongly but i have to assume you said this tongue in cheek.......right ?

Serious question - how the hell does Mike Dean from The Wirral get to referee an Everton home game? I thought there had to be a minimum mileage distance applied not somewhere he can get to on the local bus !

Danny Murphy basically calling out Ralph as a bloody liar re not knowing about the McCarthy injury when you’ve got your bloody centre backs taking goal kicks for him. Dont often agree with Murphy but I think he’s right on this. Ralph once again trying to be Teflon.

Yep, absolute shit show all round. I do wonder if Ralph has thrown McCarthy under the bus to deflect the blame yet again.

I’m giving you the reason, I don’t want or deserve a smart arse comment! The difference is, clever arse, those tens of thousands aren’t touching the ball are they? I ain’t made the rules 🙄

Something to do with a world wide pandemic?

Even stranger that he’s picked him then 🤣

Not unhappy with that line up. No Walcott even on bench. I still think Ralph picks the names out of a hat. Tella no game time then suddenly he gets a start…..at last !

I noticed that VVD didn’t really celebrate his goal which given all the abuse we give him was credit to him.

No, but I do wonder why he played a different formation than the one that worked against Man City and, bar the sending off, Chelsea. And oh look, he reverted to that when we are 3 down !

Any chance Ralph holds his hands up and admits he got the formation wrong first half?

Good of Ralph to give Tella a run out in another lost cause of a game.
