That seems to be the case perhaps

whats happened a Man City???

I wanted to give him slack, but it is sad that it is not going to work. When he got the 3 wins in a week there was hope that things would turn, but the bizarre Lavia sub and whilst Theo has been a good player (not since his return) coming on was enough for me. Let alone Jans starting in 2 games

Not then but earlier

I havent watched the game. Have we been playing long ball.

I gave up when he took Lavia off and brought on Walcott. Whilst it wasnt a direct swap I couldnt see the sense, apart from a yellow card

I haven't been sleeping well recently at least I dont need to stay up and watch match of the day. Another weekend of avoiding watching any football programmes

Was it a set piece

Oh ok, not so ridiculous. Lavia with yellow card I notice

I could understand some of his decisions, but Walcott !!

I suspect the board will start to wonder. Especialy seeing the other results. If we need Walcott to be the answer then we are in big trouble.

Walcott getting the nod and taking off Lavia, just seems total madness.

Now I have lost any of my understanding for him

Eveton have imo a better balanced squad and have a lot of players who'd get in our first 11. Ours wouldnt the other way around apart form JWP and Lavia

I agree, Everton do have a good squad and should never be where they are. Dyche has brought that out, no excuse though he has given them a bounce. Still not who Id want long term but he will keep them up.

Still havent come back with posts highlighting your claims what I said. It is your opinion of NJ style of football. Dyche is winning and so you csn do the told you so stuff

You think he's throwing shots at the fans lol? You obviously didn't read or listen to what he said about our fantastic support at Newcastle and apologised that we didnt get a result. Often, we sometimes dont listen and only chose what we want to hear, Iam not above that

Please, like you haven't done when you posted your claims that I thought fans should treat him as a hero, also show where I was pleased with his appointment? I dont think he is like Dyche, but if you mean up and in the oppos faces and playing the dark arts then perhaps, but DYche is not the only manager who plays that way. . I dont want a long ball game no, but I also dont want our backs tippy tapping to midfield who then pass it back again. I dont want the midfield by passed as Dyche used to do in the main

Worth a listen to Dyches first interview on BBC football daily this morning. Our PR machine should have got NJ to issue a similar thing. Asking fans to get behind the team as that would make the job easier and players not under such pressure. He said the fans do make a difference. Obviously this is what Ive been asking for, not whether he is the right choice but to get behind us in our moment of need.

If he is not going to try and help himself then he is indefensible, he isnt my choice, just wnt to give him the chance. No idea who could come in anyway

Did I readsomewhere that ANkerson had told him that he wanted NJ to play a 5 at the back?? In the back of mind I thought I read that early days

I do wonder why the clubs PR people are not giving him advice or recommendations how this is making his and the clubs situation harder.

A very measured and fair assessment. This whole defence reminds me when we went down under Harry, when we bought Jacobson in and we never had any commanding centre back. oh for a Killer

He's hot and cold for me. I agree DCC seems calmer, but Lyanco does give us an edge. Be interesting how he deals with Toney. Personally I dont see any of then really up to it. DCC was skinned by the Newcastle player who crossed for Lintons goal as SMS, they may have counted against him. My head is in a mix knowing what is best, the next 2 games are the acid test whether the groundswell becomes an avalanche

Having watched Orsic play, I dont think as yet he has made himself a must pick
