He's really good at kicking the ball in anger back into the net after conceding.

I don't think the criticism is for the cross for the goal, more so the cross before that which was looped in high towards the back post.

Agree with this pretty much. I'd get rid of; Forster Gardos Targett Jrod Clasie Sign a new CB, DM and GK and I think we could have a very interesting season next year. If Vvd goes then go large on another Cb.

Why don't you go and start your own thread and leave this one for the rest of us to debate the original OP? You're all over every thread like a rash at the minute, peddling negativity. Sad really.

I think Manolo has shown up just how limited a striker Austin is. For a start, it's nice to have someone leading the line that doesn't looked completed sh*gged out after 30mins.

Chelsea at home 2-1 and Newcastle away 2-1?

This. Some of the people on this thread - any excuse to have a pop at the manager.

First definitely, second possibly, third no chance.

Sure you weren't watching Fraser?

Which he fecked up in the first place. If he is injured, then I feel a bit for him. However, if it was that bad then surely we'd be sticking this Hassan lad in. Wouldn't be sad to see him go in the summer. Apart from 2 games against Arsenal, he's never had a game where I felt like he's won us 3 points.

Mane and Wanyama who t*ssed it off for 3/4 of a season when they didn't get the moves they wanted? And Lallana who wanted to strike to force a move? What's the motivation for Vardy and Mahrez now? They got their massive pay rises and have done something they know they will never do again. Now they can just sit back on their contracts, earn a sh*t load of money and put a bit of half ars*d effort in.

Heaton, Pickford and Begovic for starters.

I'm sure Everton would happily take Forster and I'd happily sell him to them. Plenty of better keepers we could sign for the money we'd sell him for.

And I'm sure if MoPo had managed one of the best teams in the Eredivise he'd have also won 8 trophies. But you knew that already. Much preferred watching us under MoPo than RK. I've no doubt when (not if) he gets one of the top teams to manage, he will lots of trophies.

Each to there own. If it was a straight choice between the two, I'd have MoPo all day long.

So no better than MoPo then.

And Koeman's going to land Everton a top 7 finish, which as you've been telling everyone repeatedly, is what they are.

This.

Go on then, lets hear them?

Sunderland seem to take one step forward, then two back. I think they'll finish bottom. Hull look a different beast and Silva's done a great job so far. As someone mentions above, they have some 'favourable' fixtures, so I think they could get out of it. Swansea I think as well will end up ok. Middlesbrough just don't seem to score enough goals, I think they'll end up going down. Final place a t*ss up between Leicester, Palace and possibly Bournemouth. Either of those going down would be reasonably funny for differing reasons.

As manager?!

No chance. If we'd been remotely competitive towards a European place in the league, then maybe. But there will just be too much interest in him for us to stand firm. I'd almost feel a bit sorry for him if he stayed, he is way too good for us now. He could play for anyone.

By all accounts, it would appear to be J-Rod that wants to leave. Plus, I don't see where Long would get a better deal than what he's currently getting here...

David Howells away at Arsenal - 1-1 draw?
