[Albion] Premier League 23 - 25/8

[lizard]

Surely that can't be Everton's first team. Absolute garbage. Massive shame to see a weak Villa side pick up points.

 

[GT49er]

Doesn't alter the fact that they have been woeful tonight.

No it doesn't. But it would be good if we could be that awful and still in the top flight in 70 year's time (not that I'd be in a position to know anything about it!)

Nah. They, like Newcastle, Sheff Utd and Norwich need to pick up points through occasional wins to delay the panicky sacking of their managers that could bring about a bit of a boost and make staying up more hairy for other sides, possibly including us.

 

[Guinness Boy]

My word that was a hard watch. Nothing to worry us from either team. As pointed out Gomes was absolutely shocking. Walcott couldn’t finish a Mars Bar.

Imagine spending £90 million on Walcott, Iwobi and Schneiderlin. Awful players.

That’s just a sample. Moshiri has spent £500m on transfer fees in building this Everton squad, that’s more than either Arsenal or Spuds.

Thought Villa looked OK....well organised, didn’t give Everton space. A few decent players (much as I can’t stand him, Grealish makes things happen) and Jota is a live wire. Don’t think they’ll be anywhere near the drop.

Sounds familiar, wasnt that us in season 2?

I know it’s a cliche, but I’m just looking at Potter’s positive football on a match-by-match basis, yielding a load of wins. And not worrying about the others.

I don’t think there’ll be a repeat of 2017/18 where helpfully Stoke, WBA and Swansea were all awful, with a brief resurgence in 2018 that gave them a better final points total.

I have many Everton fans as friends. I am really not sure how 'good' it is. Unless one is ancient or remembers the Howard kendall days, they have been forever in their rival's shadow. I am pretty sure we've had a lot more interesting history than them and had way more fun on the way. I wouldn't swap, being mediocre year after year in the premier league isn't all that.

I had, they were ****ing awful. How much spent on that team?

Especially when you spend £££££ to try to SMASH the top six. But are still shite.

It must be soul destroying.

I still get excited when I see the Albion badge on that Premier League wall thing they do on SSN.

Everton are like CPFC on steroids when it comes to transfer spending.

Using the widely reported basic transfer fees.

Pickford- £25 million

Coleman- 60k
Keane- £30 million
Mina- £30 million
Digne- £18 million

Schneiderlin- £24 million
Sigurdsson- £45 million
Gomes- £22 million

Richarlison- £50 million
Calvert-Lewin- £1.5 million
Bernard- Free

Iwobi- £35 million
Kean- £27.5 million

Also Delph (£8m), Bolasie (£25m), Tosun (£27m), Gbamin (£22.5m), Niasse (£13.5m), Mirallas (£6m).

I make that a first team squad worth roughly £400 million.

Cost £400m.
Worth £200m.

Both Goodison and Smellhurst are happy hunting grounds for clubs offloading unwanted players for extortionate sums.

Marco Silva still stealing a living then.

The man with the best PR in football.

I wonder if there's ever been a point in Jack Grealish's life when he hasn't had crap hair.

He’s had a few different hairstyles over the past few years, all awful.

Perhaps he has lost a number of bets?

Yep. Absolutely nothing to get excited about since the FA Cup win in 95. Some Premier League armchair fans talk about clubs like ours being tinpot with no history, etc, but imo the worst clubs to support are those such as everton, who have bumbled along doing and winning absolutely nothing of note for donkeys years. Must be so boring. Can probably draw parallels with why the atmosphere at Goodison and from their fans both times at the Amex is up there with the worst I've witnessed in a long time despite the number of fans
