15 mins Everton  looking much more potent than last year

I'm as pessimistic as I have been for the last 2 years. Club in big, big trouble. Can't see much hope. Racing Post did an analysis of the relative ese/difficulty of all the teams first 7 games (as compared to predicted finishing positions of opponents). Everton had by far the "easiest " start. If they haven't got a a couple of wins and a draw in next 4 they are in huge difficulty. Unsurprising given how appallingly they have been run.

Barely stayed up in 2022, barly stayed up in 2023, and basically have the same squad don't they?

So yeah, looks like 'it's their year'

I was surprised in the Carra/Neville season predictions on MNF they did not even mention Everton as being relegation possibles.

Think they just went with Sheff Utd/Luton and either Wolves or Bournemouth.

It was a crap segment though tbf, they both had Man United Top 4 without discussion.

Might be a good time to be losing while the transfer window is still open. Dyche was shopping at poundland when he was at Burnley but at least he was shopping

yup big big trouble without goals

pity they didnt get harry kane he wd have helped

we'd have soon ruined him Dragon.

there has to be some decent strikers knocking around who you could get even for just one year to keep u up and help rebuild

whats vardy up to- he can score goals for sure and might fancy a final dip in the prem

They're getting Che Adams aren't they. Someone with relegation experience at least.

Looks like they are getting this Beto for 30 Mill. 21 goals in 61 games for Udinese the last 2 years

Beto is tosh

I can hear the boos already

15 points in 21 without Dyche
21 in 17 with Dyche last season.
Competition for the drop looks a lot weaker so far but early days.
They should still be mentioned tho. Wouldn't really be a surprise. Been asking for it for a while.
They were the lowest scorers and conceders in the bottom 6 last year. They need goals but not as many as the others.

the thing is are there 3 worse teams than everton. thats the simple question.

last year there were all be it it went to the wire.

are there 3 this year - probably - luton, sheff utd, burnley and bournmouth must give everton fans hope of staying up this year... but it will be close again for sure

everton in talks with 4 strikers
a nurse
a train driver
a teacher
and a DR
hoping at least  one will be playing up front on saturday

hope that train driver is ok for weekend

Turns around the old

Latchford strikes faster than British Leyland

Banner.

1 NIL to Donnie what a joke.

Could almost start a new thread for 'Everton's museum of goals' to match the Nile Ranger thread

If you didn't know you'd be hard pressed to think that Everton were the premiership side.

Doncaster bottom of league 2 versus a full strength Everton.

The only logical explanation is the players have decided to get Dyche the sack.

17th place Harrogate losing 8-0 at home to Blackburn shows how bad Everton are doing.

It must be very painful viewing for the Everton faithful.

Saying that I've had a speccie punt on 1-1 @ 3.60.

They have scored!

Newbie, Beto

Beto makes amends for the previous effort.
Terrible defending though it has to be said.

1-1 is odds on now so took my stake back out of it.

Everton squeak through but it wasn't pretty to watch.

Crisp they are just not good enough and are doomed Sheff U Saturday going to lump on them about same level as Everton but have more appetite 2 - 0 Sheff when the going gets tough they will do them.

They are off the bottom at least after Luton lost last night

0-1

1-1

2-1

Anyone who had HT unquoted must have got a good price with these two

Have to feel for Pickford, that was a freak own goal.

Oops, meant HT Over 2.5

When your luck's out.......

Pickford in poor position for the shot
His short arms can't reach that far,

Always tough if they come back off the post
but he just dives for everything anyway, even
if its going 2 yards wide.

How long do we think Dyche will get before they bring in someone else? And who would be hood for the job currently?

Steve Bruce keen to get back
into football, and he's a great family man.

Not watching lads (radio)... was that a pen?

2-2

I missed it, im getting ready to go out. must have been close by the sounds of it

Commentators seemed to think it was

who predicted a goal fest in this game

Nice earner if they did. Odds had to be good. Never touched it myself.

FT 2-2

Sounds like Pickford pulled a rabbit out of the hat at the end.
