[South west gull]

I for one will be cheering them on in the next round.

As already said.

Everton at home will comfortably be the most perplexing 90 minutes of this season.

All their vastly more expensive (than ours) players were fit and were bothered, and Demarai Gray had his customary one good game a season. It has to be said, Rafa did a tactical job on Potter.

The one thing that they had at the beginning of the season was decent wingers, recently signed and looking to impress. With Burn, March and Lamptey injured, Veltman on the bench, not match fit, and Cucurella yet to arrive, we started the game with Gross and Moder as wing-backs/wide midfielders up against Townsend and Gray. It was a typical early season anomaly that suggests why the transfer deadline should be at the start of the season not a month into it. Very annoying but seems typical. It's probably confirmation bias but it seems that we never get to play teams when they are at their worst - Had we played Newcastle then and Everton now, we'd be six points better off.

No one has been docked points in the PL for 10 years since Portsmouth went into administration. With all the billions being chucked around, shows how corrupt the PL is.

To be fair we did play Newcastle at home when they were hopeless

And didn't beat them. And should have lost!

Unfortunately EVERY PL team will take one look at our home record and think "Right. Got a real chance here chaps. Lets not waste it"

Ish.

We had Moder and Gross as our wingbacks. Always a potentially bad situation. Everton still in early days of Rafa and feeling optimistic, he set his gameplan to mercilessly exploit those wing areas, and we had no answer.

You are right in that it is surprising quite how far they've fallen since then.

 

[AmexRuislip]

What for ?

For Alisher Usmanov putin money into the club

 

[studio150]

Still their new ground will attract a lot of away fans when they start their campaign in League One.

Not to blow my own trumpet, but not all of us are surprised it didn't go well.

It's a safe appointment, but in my opinion, an uninspiring appointment. I don't think he's a modern manager and while his team will be organised and difficult to beat, they won't be challenging for a Cup and they won't be doing anything they don't do every season in the league. I really think his time at the top level should have passed, but I like the man and while I don't think he'll do very well I don't wish him bad luck or ill fortune.

He did slightly better than I expected, but I did say Everton would be looking for a new manager in 6-10 months. [MENTION=38362]vagabond[/MENTION] also called it correctly.

Kind of. Bruce had been sacked and Howe was in the stand that day.

Sure.
But my memory of the game going in was no chance.
I don't remember us laying a glove on them
They ripped through us at will.
And it was all 'yeah fair enough'.

To only collect another 10(ish) points from then is staggering.

Muscle memory alone should have easily doubled their tally, esp with the 'quality' in our half of the division.


The very definition of a basket case club.

 

[Poyningsgull]

They have had a good run. Time to go.

 

[portlock seagull]

Leeds, I remember being shocked by the speed of their demise; Champions League semi to relegation in 2 years, due to horrendous overspending and financial mismanagement.

Everton went one better in their past. Division One winners, relegated to Division 2 couple seasons later. Obviously though this isn’t mentioned because Football started in 1993 as everyone keeps being told by the PL.

 

[schmunk]

Not quite starting from the same high, but Sunderland Are A Big Club's demise from PL to League 1 in 2 seasons was pretty impressive/hilarious, particularly as they have now reached the playoffs but failed to get promoted 4 seasons in a row...

I do agree, but their strengths completely matched our weakness on that day more by happenstance than tactical nous. Whippet wingers against slow midfielders, converted into confused wingbacks would always have ended the way it did. If we'd played them a week later with Cucurella and Veltman, I suspect the result would have been different. I'm with you on the "yeah fair enough" though, but more for the known reasons above than because they were that much better.

They are awful though. How I'd laugh if another of the "old elite" get relegated

 

[Jeremiah]

What for ?

Richarlison.

 

[swindonseagull]

10 point deduction from Leeds would be more appropriate.


Not for any specific reason but I detest them.
