LVG, ah?
I've gotta say, as a neutral he's always good entertainment value but obviously a huge risk. Personally if you can't get Silva I'd give Unsworth till the end of the season and think about getting a proper replacement in the summer. You're not looking good but I think you're just about strong enough to beat the drop. And if Unsworth isn't working out, there's always Pulis now ;) Watched Spurs v Dortmund. Who knows how long Spurs' run will last but they're looking the real deal in the CL this year. |
Did you guys see this already? This is a nice example of the level of Dutch football at the moment:

Thankfully he's ruled himself out. I agree with you that Unsworth should stay til the end of the season. It's not gonna be a pretty rest of the season, but get to the summer and managers will be more willing to move. That's the theory anyway, this being Everton they'l mess it up somehow. Watched the Liverpool game last night. Fuck me, how Moreno is STILL playing is beyond me. He's had a few acceptable games recently then comes out with that 2nd half farce. That's not to take anything away from how mentally fragile the rest of the team are though. |
I watched the highlights and it's the same old story. as good as their forwards are, Klopp's whole attitude puts too much pressure on them to outscore whatever better opponents will put past them at the other end. Even Pep seems to have learnt from last season but Klopp just seems destined to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. I don't know if i've seen a manager that tactically naive. Keegan maybe, and look what happened to him.
|
Problem is that they'll win their next game comfortably and all will be forgotten.
|
I dunno. The fans maybe but I think the owners might be wondering now if Klopp's actually holding them back. Would anyone say they've really moved forward since sacking Rodgers? They may be more entertaining now (although even that's debatable) but I'd say if anything their chances of winning a major trophy are even less now. Not that they were exactly massive with Rodgers but you know what I mean. Take away Salah, Coutinho and Mane and this Liverpool look crap, basically.

Sweet baby Jesus. Bring Sam in. Anyone has to do a better job than what everton have now.
|
Christ, listening to the reports we might both be enjoying away days at Brentford next season.

just kidding man. don’t do that. you get games at a decent hour. my condolences about your sorrows. you seen dortmund? how they doing with the ajax guy? |

anyway, according to Dutch news papers the German press want him gone, but the club is still supporting him |

I've actually not watched much more of the Bundesliga. Mainly cos I was watching the Friday games and I'm a busy bee at the moment. I'll get back onto it this week I suspect. |
looks like Big Sam's back in the frame at Everton.
|
Good luck tonight, Demo. May the worst team win.
|
Aw man, so that's that. Genuinely pleased for Unsworth and loved the Everton fan's singing his name at the end. Also Rooney's 1st Everton hat-trick.
West Ham are fucked. |
That Rooney goal was just something else. El symbols not you can find it go watch it. They needed that win desperately. I just don't get how players how suddenly decide "yeah, THIS week I'm gonna actually try" after being pants for so long *looks at Ashley Williams*
As for West Ham, I don't half feel bad for the fans and Moyes. Not the players. There are too many wankers stealing a wage and tonight highlighted that. Everrton have been fucking dire the last few weeks but at the very least they turned up tonight. West Ham (save for 10 minutes on the second half) couldn't muster that. And a shitty run coming to |
Rooney's goal was great but what in the name of fuck was Hart doing clearing it to the centre of the park? I've given up now. Moyes must be wondering what he's signed up for. After Sunderland this is the same: a club in free-fall. The players' attitude is beyond a joke, the board disgust me. They're ruined, from top to bottom I only hope Pep shows some humility at the weekend because if Everton can put 4 past us, what could DeBruyne, Sterling, Silva, Sane, Jesus, Aguero do if they're let off the leash?
And what made last night even worse was seeing Big Sam there, with his trademark smirk, loving every minute of it. Ordinarily I'd wish Everton well but seeing Sam lose his record for keeping teams up will likely be the only pleasure I'll get this season. And god only knows what state we'll be in next season. |
Quote:
Yeah, I do wonder if Moyes thought that he was getting a similar situation as he did with Everton when he joined. All the potential to actually push higher than expected and the like. I will say that Moyes should have had a longer break away from football. This isn't going to do his credibility any favours at all. If you were Moyes what would you do? Hahahaha yeah, I know the feeling. Kinda like seeing an ex on a night out and she's acting like she's queen bee. Man City win. Again. With a stupidly late winner. Again. Forget Fergie time, it's now Guardiola time! |

![]() Heh. In other news, Gerardo "Tata" Martino has been offered the Chilean national team and apparently he hasn't definitively said yes or no yet, because he's waiting for —get this, Symbols— the U.S. Soccer Federation to offer him the United States national team, which he would prefer. |
i hope he comes here because i still believe klinsmann had the right diagnostic— ‘murka needs to take it to the next level.
klinsi’s problem i believe was with the execution— on the one hand he never consolidated an actual squad that was capable of achieving his wishes, and on the other hand when under pressure he retreated to basic tactics. martino could have the chance to take a young squad and shape them into something more functional. but, you know— a squad, not a permanent tryout. he fucked up a bit with argentina though so who knows. but team usa could use a bit of “latin flair,” as they say. he’s in atlanta now but i’ve never seen that team. not even heard of it actually ha ha ha |
Oh, and speaking of this shit, how about the following: Pizzi is going to the World Cup after all... as Saudi Arabia's coach! The fuckin' weasel!
|
eh, why not, he got you 2 copa américas right? or was the first sampaoli?
he didn’t peddle drink to your superstars— they did that shit on their own |

The anger from the fans is almost entirely aimed at the board and the players. Not that Moyes doesn't deserve some of the criticism for last night but I think everyone knows now that the rot goes much deeper than the manager. I'm not sure it's even worth wondering what he should do. Showing the door to Carroll, Ogbonna and Kouyate would be a start, I suppose, but who'd wanna come in to replace them? We're linked with Ben Arfa. Great, like the one thing west ham needs right now is another lazy prima donna. Just as well Berbatov's retired or we'd probably be after him, too. Spurs are apparently interested in Lanzini, maybe the only player Moyes should put any effort into keeping. Besides him, I wouldn't care if they were all sacked and replaced by the u23s, who actually aren't that bad. |

Zero, dude. That's just how these stars roll. |
Group A: Russia, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Egypt.
Group B: Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Iran Group C: France, Australia, Peru, Denmark. Group D: Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria Group E: Brazil, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia. Group F: Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea Group G: England, Tunisia, Panama, Belgium Group H: Poland, Senegal, Colombia, Japan Where's U.S.A on here? Oh, silly me I forgot! Looking at the groups there's none really enticing. MAYBE group D could be a good one. Either way I'll be watching them and praying it's a decent world cup. |
group a is fucking garbage. uruguay best win it with 9 points and mega-goal difference
portugal v spain should be fun. how’s morocco? c looks competitive for 2nd place, thinking france to win it d same thing w/ argentina tops if they get their fucking shit together e: could cr suprise? hm... f: poor mexico always having to go against germany! it’s a curse g: england got a gift in that group h: how is senegal? that could also be a nice contest where’s usa lol you bastard. usa is where it deserves to be today. |

Inexplicably, I didn't answer the second question yesterday: yes, Sampaoli was the coach on the first one. On the Copa Centenario the team was still on the Bielsa-style Sampaoli rush, but I give Pizzi credit for a key incident during the final: 28 minutes in Marcelo Díaz got his second yellow card. 11 players to 10, Argentina went full-on destructo mode, and under those circumstances ANY other manager in the world would have sacrificed one of Chile's three strikers to rebuild the midfield. But Pizzi held in there and whaddayaknow, two minutes before the end of the first half Marcos Rojo kicked Vidal from behind and got sent off. You know the rest. |
I look at England's players individually and see Belgium as the only real obstacle. Then I think about them in England shirts, in a big tournament and my optimism dissolves.
Also, bookies are currently offering the same odds on WH winning by any score today as the are MC winning 6-0. |
Quote:
We've been stung too many times. I'm just a shell of a man when it comes to internationals optimism. As for those odds for West Ham to win I'd actually say that's pretty low! Meanwhile in the Serie A, Juventus beat Napoli 1-0. That puts Juventus one point behind Napoli who are in first place. Let's just hope Napoli can keep their nerve. I really, really, REALLY hope Juventus don't win the league a-fucking-gain. |
So that Adrian, ey? Clearly an up and coming player who could be something ;) Think all that performance by him does is raise the question why has it taken this long for him to play in the league this season?? And all cos Hart couldn't play against City.
And you know what? Hart'll still be England number 1. Total joke. Feel a bit more optimistic after that performance, Demo? |
Happy they lifted themselves but frustrated the players can turn it on and off like that. We need 10 wins to probably secure safety, and I just can't see us getting them.
I like Adrian. He makes mistakes but so does Hart. He deserves a run but I'm sure the owners will insist Hart remains our #1. Butland should be England's #1. Big result for Everton. I think you'll be OK. |

Boy did Everton play West Ham at the right time! A great win for or West Ham there.
Joe Hart must be feeling miserable after being dropped for that game. Not like he hasn't deserved it though |
