The NSNO Everton Forums

The defence is the most sorry bunch of mopes I’ve seen since I started watching the blues under Walter Smith. We’ve always had at least one good player in there. I’m really worried about JB and getting a full season out of him, and due to playing right back so much I feel JoB is still untested in the middle for any extended period.

Cant get my head around having to watch the chuckle brothers sat on Pickfords knee and Mykolenko aimlessly wondering around trying to look busy.

Should Moyes be moved on early enough, I do see a decent season from Dibling and Barry to netted double figures by the end of Feb. We’ve got issues but we’ve also got some alright players.

15th in the league for XG conceded last season.

Just gotta pray branthwaite can stay fit. Even then I’m not sure he’s enough to cover for the rest around him.

Fucking woe is me.

Could be worse. Could be Newcastle.

Have you seen the consultation on their new crest design? Funniest thing ever - basically "What do you want the seahorses to look like??"

A club in our position is always going to do deals late so I’m keeping the fume powder dry until the close of the window. I have faith we’ll get a RB and an attacker maybe 2.

Agree with the last bit but based on last season's body of work, Dibling and Barry would be 2 of the least representative of the point.

They'll finish higher than us
