Wasn’t there a rule that domestic football could not be televised on Champions League Matchdays.?
I seem to remember Hibs fell foul of it but I see Preston are on TV tonight and there was games on last week.

Spurs 1-0 up on Real Madrid. Two players clearly offside but there’s no explaining the quality of refereeing at all levels.

Ghoulan off injured, that’s a huge blow for Napoli with no left back on the bench. City’s bench is outrageous.

The quality of football in the Napoli v City game is literally out of this world, a complete joy to watch.

I normally can’t be arsed with the bloated CL but this is just an education on football. What’s most impressive though is Sarri has built this team on a relative shoe string, whereas City have recruited the best players and manager, at huge cost.

Eh? Net spend in the summer was £45m, for a team that finished 2nd in Serie A! They gained net £100m the season before after the sale of Higuain too. So they’ve gained £50m net in transfers over the last 2 seasons? That’s not exactly splashing the cash, is it. And a drop in the ocean vs City, which was my point.

:greengrin

Edit I should have said 3rd. Point still stands though, very low spend vs premier League equivalent.

Agree with that but fear it reflects the nature of the market they are in. Of the big spends, Keane and Pickford could turn out to be value for money in that they have the potential to attract a top six club, or foreign interest, should they continue to progress, in which case Everton would undoubtedly turn a decent profit on them.

Not seen enough of Klaassen to form a judgement but his age and pedigree mean his market value was going to be what it was. Similarly with Sigurdsson, they are paying the (inflated) market price for a player seen as having game-changing skills, moving within his league.

I think one of the key issues was highlighted earlier - they lost Lukaku and seemed to sign three number 10s instead of nailing down a striker. Injuries to Coleman and Bolasie haven't been helpful either, nor I guess the issues with Barkley.

I feel a bit for Everton as they had carefully built themselves into a strong side outwith that top six. One of the few teams in recent years where you could name their back five with certainty, for example. The investment in the summer should have pushed them on, but something went awry.

Whoever comes in permanently will have some decent players to work with, but will need to sort that striking situation, maybe by getting rid of some of the superfluous attacking players - do they really need Lennon and Mirallas? Also maybe a question mark about recruiting a centre-half given the age of Williams and Jagielka, though it looks like Holgate is being groomed for that role.

Good post, MA. They must get the managerial appointment right and rediscover some confidence. They also need a pacey striker asap. I think Shaun Dyche would be a good move for them, and he seems to be the favourite.

The fact they never got a replacement for Lukaku is a display of unbelievable incompetence for club of their stature. They knew he was leaving from about March and yet for the next 5/6 months, all they could muster up on a shortlist was Giroud and they left that until deadline day. Total shambles.

I do wonder if they'll be better once if and when they get the likes of Coleman and Bolasie back, but that potentially brings further problems. How long until Coleman gets injured again and will he be the same player? Will Bolasie regain form after a long injury lay-off before it's too late?

I think of their signings Pickford and Keane were still decent and the right call but other than that they've bought overpriced players like Sigurdsson or taken massive risks on the likes of Klaassen, they've not thought about their squad balance, they've not attempted to shape the team to a particular style, they have no depth and nobody who can score goals, meanwhile the likes of Williams, Jagielka and Baines have gone backwards and Schneiderlin has turned into a pub player.

So yeah, unless they get somebody in who can crack the whip and install a bit of belief and determination, and has money to invest in January in somebody who can score goals, more FB depth and some pace out wide they're probably bang in trouble

What's strange is that in bringing Steve Walsh, you assumed they would have gone down the route of trying to uncover hidden gems like Southampton did with Mane for example or more to the point, like Walsh apparently did with ****e & Mahrez for example.

I'm curious as to just what the **** he's been doing at Everton, seriously who have they signed where they needed his input?

Pickford & Keane had just had great seasons in the PL
Rooney is self-explanatory
Klaassen was clearly more a Koeman signing I'm assuming being a fellow countryman, again well known at Ajax played against Utd in the Europa final etc
Sandro was ex-Barca youngster had just scored 14 goals in La Liga season before
Sigurdsson obviously well known been in the PL for years and played a big part in keeping Swansea City up
Vlasic they signed 'cos he played against them in the Europa League

So who exactly did they have this guy scouting? Seems to have been a total waste bringing him in and not utilizing him, or is he to blame for most of these signings...

I thought they'd be up there, despite losing Lukaku. However, they have failed to replace him with a like for like replacement and haven't signed any players with pace. Much of it comes down to confidence. I'm sure they will improve if they appoint the right man.

They lost their only real goal threat and then bought 3 number 10s which seemed ridiculous without really replacing Lukaku. What was really bizarre to me yesterday was that for an interim manager who probably has only 2 or 3 games to manage played such a weak team against a decent Lyon team who were always going to be tough.

Pickford i do think has been a success already, he's a good keeper. Keane i think will be a flop, very average player who will quickly drop down to the level he's more comfortable at, its certainly not a top 6 club IMO.

And Rooney, WTF, why would anyone sign him? He was finished 2 years ago, he's still capable of the odd flash of genius, but he was a very good centre forward, and a decent number 10 a few years ago, now he's just a slow journeyman who just moves the ball on to the nearest player, and offers little else.

Smartie
03-11-2017, 08:27 AM
A decent manager, a quick centre half, a quick striker and a couple of quick wide players and I think they'd have a great side.

Unfortunately that little lot would cost them the fat end of another £150 million.

They have good players, their good players haven't become poor overnight, but the balance is all wrong and as a team they are hopeless.

They're exactly like immediately-post-Griffiths Hibs. Plenty of decent players, no pace, no width, no creativity, no scoring threat, serious relegation candidates.
