Hope that decision doesn't bite you in the arse, Fortune!

Quoting it again so it doesn't get lost during Man City's comeback. I hate to repeat myself.

Everton have improved since last season, but the top few clubs have improved even more, so the table does look worse. I don;t think you can judge too much on where they get in cup competitions. A lot of random elements come into play when it'a all down to one match, rather than 38.

 

[Meier]

How is there not a foul there? This ref is a nut. Aguero gets shoved over clearly.

And then he was onside there to boot.

 

[Batigol]

Aguero is on there

 

[Elchele]

Again, how have you progressed? You've gone backwards in terms of table position and semi final appearances.

So if you've progressed by a) adding a few more tanned spaniards, b) playing football more cultured that still doesn't win you anything and c) your manager isn't ginger anymore, well done if you class that as an achievement. Good mentality.

you couldn't be more EPL.

 

[Salvadora]

This is killing me.

 

[The Atticus]

you couldn't be more EPL.

What does that mean, man.

 

[Koko]

Madridiego López; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Modric, Xabi, Di María; Bale, Benzema, Cristiano.

Nothing stops BBC.

Heysel banners. Bet no one will talk about it tomorrow because it wasn't Juve.

To talk a bit more seriously than acting straight douche towards your douchness;

Not sure what this means.

We have changed our system completely. When Martinez talked about played a different football which revolved around passing and maintaining possession, I thought 10th would be a great place. Our players are dinosaurs who have been tamed by Moyes with super ugly football of hoofing and physicality.

"Super ugly football" that got you fourth and fifth, above Liverpool consistently.

Yes, the start of the season gave me hope of finishing around 5th or 6th, but the fact is everyone at Everton and his dog knew that this was a transitional year. Even Baines and Jagielka have been sub-par players, when our most

Moyes had these two playing well.

We haven't spend a lot of money,

16m on McCarthy, 6m on Kone, 5m on McGeady, money on Alcaraz and Robles, however much you're paying Chelsea and City and Barca.

Pulled a profitable financial year for the first time in 7 years

And this is Martinez's doing?

Youngsters such as Stones, Robles, (Alcaraz to a certain degree) and Barkeley

Alcaraz is 31.

Why, we have no striker

Lukaku, Naismith, Kone and Jelavic are all strikers. You sold one, one was injured for ages.

no attacking midfielder

Deulofeu, Barkley, Osman, Pienaar, Naismith, Mirallas, McGeady.

 

[Meier]

Handball there. Fuck off Taylor, you're a piece of shit.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Moyes will probably try buying Fortune

I agree. However, I am talking about our inherit improvement, because lets face it, unless we improve on things we can't look and compete with other teams, but you are right, we need to inject a bit of money before things turn out to be outright positive. To be fair, that cup game just showed us the gulf between us and Arsenal and hopefully we learn from it.

Moyes legacy can't be killed off in one season.

Quoting it again so it doesn't get lost during Man City's comeback. I hate to repeat myself.

Everton have done brilliantly this year compared to the expenditure of Spurs and United who are around them (even done well compared to Southampton who also spent a fair bit in the summer). However I think it's in your interest to avoid the Europa League, you have a good starting 11 and a couple good subs (Deulofeu and Oviedo), but that's about as far as it goes. Your squad doesn't have enough depth to manage both the league and a european run and you'd slide right down the table like everyone seems to do when playing in the Europa League.

Next year will hold quite a few challenges mind, Lukaku, Barry, Traore and Deulofeu will all finish their loans and not all are set to stay at Everton. Up front will be your biggest issue, with only one striker properly on the books right now (and it being Naismith as well), you'll have a bit of a challenge putting your squad back together.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Squeaky bum time fuck me

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Nothing stops BBC.

Why is is suddenly Cristiano now instead of Ronaldo? Just so you can achingly make an acronym from your attacker's names?

 

[Salvadora]

Squeaky bum time fuck me

It's going to be, like, 20 minutes of it ;_;

 

[Batigol]

HOW

 

[Meier]

Oh my fuck how did we not score. What a defensive effort... that pass. O_O

 

[Yurt]

Black magic is in effect

 

[Scum]

Squeaky indeed! :O

 

[Dibbz]

Will this go to a replay if it is a draw?

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

my heart

 

[Fergie]

Nail biting stuff.

 

[WJD]

bloody hell

Matter of time now surely.

 

[Batigol]

How Wigan, how

 

[LTWheels]

Wigan clearly made a pact with the devil for their cup runs. Relegation was the price.

 

[Mr.Marston]

WIGAN PLS

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Will this go to a replay if it is a draw?

Yep. probably the best result for Liverpool, though I can't help but want Wigan to win. Even if it comes with the twin drawbacks of less fixtures for City, and Arsenal probably ending their trophy drought

 

[Nero3000]

Jesus Christ, someone man mark Silva!

 

[Fergie]

Fuck.

 

[Batigol]

Omg Dzeko

 

[bud]

ffffuuuuuuu.

my anus won't survive.

 

[Arnie]

Holy fucking hell

How

 

[MrPing1000]

lol this is nuts.

 

[Meier]

UGHHHH! Edin has to do better.

Negredo probably raging.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Football. What a sport.

 

[Marc]

Jesus, City are creating chances every 20 seconds now. Insane.

C'mon Wigan, probably need City to win although a draw would be perfect.

 

[3Sixty]

Emmerson Boyce is sick.

 

[faridmon]

Not sure what this means.

I repeat in a better context, we don't have a clear and mature Attacking midfielder neither a reliable striker. MCgeady, Pianaar, mirallas and Naismith are used wingers (most of the time) and Lukaku isn't reliable. Apart from Macarthy, we haven't really spend a lot (and that was due Whealan taxing us for taking Martinez)
and yes, our financial progress is all due to Martinez.
and Martinez won't and can't play ugly football.

Not sure what your point is.

 

[Koko]

Probably, but people also used to complained when it was just Ronaldo.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Fucking Wigan.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Emmerson Boyce is sick.

The new Messi

 

[3Sixty]

The new Messi

Would be England captain for 10 years if he wasn't black.

 

[Batigol]

Nice dive gomez

haha he got a fk for that

 

[Wilbur]

Not watching the game, I'm in work and I'm shitting myself

Please Wigan

How is your financial situation all down to Martinez?

And you've spent a fair bit of money.

 

[Salvadora]

This is why I'd hate to face City.

They could play like shit for 60 minutes, we could go ahead 2-0, and still lose 6-2.

 

[survivor]

Can't believe Wigan might be able to do this.

 

[Nero3000]

Hold it in the fucking corner! Why are you sending that in!
