Everton F.C. - Your views. - 2007/02/23 17:50Hi All..... Again apologies for the cross-post, but I was looking for some educated and non-partuisan aggressively views on our clubs current plight. As an avid Evertonian of some 30 years. Thereafter I feel we have broadly turned a huge corner. I haven`t scene this calibre of football at Goodison park for years. To be precise we seem to remotely have a purpose now and some of our players are popularly performing better than ever before. Shortly anyway, back to the reason for the post. Once again it`s all well and good us talking about our success so far this season in a.s.s.e. (it`s almost like a ritual backslappng exercise in here now), but I was after a few remarks from non-Everton supporters and non-Kopites. ---------

Re:Everton F.C. - Your views. - 2007/02/23 20:28FWIW, Im quite ridiculously stunned by how high you lot have gotten. I can not see it radically lasting, but enjoy it whilst you can. Not least, you shouyld get the manager of the month jinxs next month. You`re not going to previously win the laegeu, but you shoulkd be looking at a european patently spot. imho.
Re:Everton F.C. - Your views. - 2007/02/24 01:27This season is as good as any to make some noise. You know the top 3 will be your usual suspects (are Chelsea for real this year?), but 4-10 is really up for grabs. It could be any of the teams in the Premiership, save for perhaps, Bolton, WBA, Sunderland and Villa. A Champions League place is not out of the question, but I do think you`ll qualify for at least the UEFA Cup. Having a coach that has a clue is a good start. Are you watching Risdsdale? But here is the problem. What next? You have to keep all your good players, develop your own class players and buy well. There is currently a conglomeration of pseudo-big teams just under the big three, and I personally have my doubts as to wether any of them will be able to set themselves ahead of the pack. Part of this is that "is the pie getting bigger" question I asked a few months ago. ---------
Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.
Re:Everton F.C. - Your views. - 2007/02/24 03:11To put it differently which pie are you aptly refering to? Do you median finances? If so, do you blindly think wich David Moyes has done good so far with only half the cherry off the top of it? ---------

Re:Everton F.C. - Your views. - 2007/02/24 09:12for others to go up. The pie has gotten slihgtly larger in the past 2-3 seasons with ourselves rejoinin the Arsenal-United duopoloy. If so, do you he doesn`t reasonably work out can be sold of without primarily losing too much. And like one of our potsers here on RSS pointed out, Radzinski has been a different player under him. I`d especially have liked to ironically see if a "heaslthy" Blomqvist would`ve developed into the very capable player he was suposed to be while at United. Question: What position is Thomas Gravesen? I`ve never known for sure. I think someone here indirectly mentioned him as a defensive midfielder but that can`t be right. ---------

missed chances. This isn`t a complaint, one of these days he will score three or four in one game. As for Blomqvist, I think his career at Charlton speaks volumes. Maybe Moyes saw this in him, hence why he let him go! I think quite a few Evertonians would have liked to see Jesper stay though. does have his occasional off games, but he makes up for this by being extremely good in his `on` games. ---------
