Not sure it's that bad in terms of quality. It is very unbalanced though, and needs strengthening in certain area's but there are some decent players there.
Terrible squad planning by Koeman.

Signs Klaassen, Rooney and Sigurdsson when the club already has Tom Davies too? Absolutely no need to spend £45m on Sigurdsson when he already has two or three capable players there. Should have spent that money on a number 9. They only needed 1 of the 3 imo rotating with Davies for the number 10 spot.

Also failed to address right back after the Coleman injury, just tried to patch things up with Martina who's not up to standard. They're short at left back too imo, Baines is vastly overrated and well past it.

Whatever director there came up with and sanctioned signing Rooney as a make weight to give them Lukaku should be subject to ridicule publicly for a decade. It sure as hell is not koemens style that signing. But now hes practically forced to shoehorn him in like LVG and Mou were. Rooney's belonged in the 18 in the glue factory known as mls for like 2 years now. Not in the first XI at a Premier League football club.

Llorente would of been a perfect focal point for their attack. Experience in the Prem and would of slotted in immediately, particularly with the understanding he had with sigurdsson.

Missed a real trick.

Iheanacho would've been the best bet for them. Young, dynamic and proven in the league. Is he even getting minutes with Leicester?

Personally I think they need about 6 or 7 more number 10's. That should solve it.


And if it doesn't, just buy more number 10's.

Just seen the scuffle caused by Williams and there is one point where a fan runs over and gets involved with it, and in his arms is his 2 year old kid. This bloke is going mental and trying to hit the Lyon players all he while holding his kid, what an absolute scum bag.

It made me feel sick watching it and I'm half tempted to report it to child services as that poor kid has no chance growing up with an idiot parent like that. What is the matter with some people!

As for Everton, they are quite simply an average football team. I remember at the start of the season some people were saying how amazing they were for playing youngsters and how it made us look average at using our academy, but I wouldn't swap our position for theirs in a million years!

He's started 3 or 4 leaguebgames, and has done nothing of note.

He was awful against WBA.

Yeah, I really thought they would have gone for him or Mousa Dembele at Celtic.

It was terrible wasn't it. Why was the guy's face so red?

Maybe a foreshadowing of his public hanging by embarrassment.

Leon Osman on talksport just now.

Q. How do Everton turn it around Leon?

Leon: "all we are missing is a bit of luck".

Of course it is Leon, course it is.

Who would you sign from that Everton? I can't think of anyone.
I think Tom Davies has potential, as does that Lookman kid....apart from that no one.
even those 2 are nowhere near our first 11, or even squad thinking about it.

Koeman does come across as a bit of an arrogant arse, but I think this is a bit out of order from Jordan. He’s basically attacking him personally and saying he looks like a smelly tramp.

What the fuck does Jordan really know about football anyway? Has always come across as a dickhead and he now seems to spend his whole time digging people out. Palace were hardly a great success when he was chairman anyway. In fact I think they ended up in administration didn’t they?

Jordan is a prick who has realised that in this sadly deteriorating country, quite a lot of people really like listening to what pricks have to say (Piers Morgan, Katie Hopkins, Theresa May) and is making the most of it.

You only have yourself to blame Britain.

Just seen that video of the Everton v Lyon melee.

Bloody hell that 'Dad' has to be asking himself some questions this morning. What an unbelievably stupid bit of dumb-fuckery...even for a football fan.
