Pamplemousse

Took them to a Champions League semi-final, even PSG with their mega billions can't achieve that, an amazing feat for a French football team.

Do we need another striker? A defender, yes please.

I don't understand why we didn't sign him anyway, we only have one right back. Have him as back up for a season, sell Cedric in the summer.

Fantastic post

None of our "fans" are in any position to mock Puel considering how far ahead his team is at the moment. You can mock Marco Silva though - a relatively easy set of games and Everton have not made a good start at all. Early days though, I know they've had a few injuries and suspensions.

Admit it, you'd take 8th and a cup final all day long if it was offered to you right now. I do agree with you though, it'll take us many years to recover from the decision to relieve Puel.

I'm convinced that our problems are more a mental one rather then a personnel issue, on paper we have the manager and the players to at the very least compete. I blame Pellegrino personally.

I like Dave, he has a nice soothing voice. Who else would they have, it's a tough gig doing radio commentary, not to mention the long hours travelling (they have a third trip to Liverpool next week!) Adam and Dave work well together.

When's the next fan forum? Might be a bit lively if our form doesn't improve.

I've said this before, Long's most effective position is out on the wing. If we're playing Redmond and Elyounoussi on the wings, then someone else should play - Ings and Austin or Ings and Armstrong. If Mo is still injured then Long should come in.

The Leicester game you can sort of excuse, because we were down to 10 men. I don't think we would've lost with 11 on the pitch. The Brighton game was the one that we should have seen out. Obviously we did see out the Palace game but it wasn't straightforward.

The players need a confidence boost and are obviously low on morale. Lambasting them won't do much to help them. It's good management IMO.

Most accurate prediction so far...

Uh oh, back down to 2nd. Wheels coming off? I am clutching at straws here, yes.

I believe

I would fully support some sort of protest against the board. A second season of failure would be unacceptable. To go from 8th to 17th could be considered a blip if in the next season things progress, but another relegation battle and heads should roll at the top.

We'll score against them, the question is whether we'll be able to keep them out at the other end. A draw I reckon.

Won that second half 0-0 Let's look at the bright side, it could be worse like Cardiff and Bournemouth. Or Portsmouth conceding a last minute equaliser... Need to get something at Wolves next week really

VVD injured Here's our chance lads, let's blitz them

I hope there are subs at half time.

Our team wasn't exactly first choice Forster in goal, a defence of Yoshida, Stephens, Bednarek and Pied, it was asking for trouble really

Anyhow, as I said earlier, let's judge things after the Wolves game.

Yoshida should've been playing, that was a poor decision by Hughes. I'd get Austin on, we've been getting crosses in the box, time for someone to get on the end of them.

They haven't played particularly well, 3-0 down. Awful. This defence has to be sorted out. Start by playing Yoshida and getting rid of Hoedt.

Lemina has been absolutely shocking. No wonder none of the top clubs want him.
