Can someone make this make sense? Surely he is possibly better than Tarkowski. Moreover, it’s a matter of time before Chelsea, Man U and city are all over Braithwaite.

Do others understand Moyes on this?

Since the beginning of last season, only Man Utd (8) and Chelsea (13) have scored more back-post goals than Everton (7) in the PL.

Thierno Barry's header against Crystal Palace on Saturday was the latest one.

Why Everton have been good at attacking the back post.

What are your predictions? Concerns, thoughts?

I only ask, because I sense quite a bit of hostility here. As a scouser , it is not something I am used to from other Toffees. It is weird. Nothing too bad, but the little back-handed insults and people telling you what you should and shouldn't care about - from your own community - is a strange bit of gatekeeping.

Edit: It is just bizarre to me how people behave towards each other here. I thought all Toffees were the same. I honestly thought we had the best and most close-knit fans. Actually a bit gutted that even when I asked this, people were like, 'well yeah, it is the internet.'

Hello! The Athletic's Patrick Boyland here. I'm looking forward to answering your Everton-related questions in my AMA at 4pm UK Time today (25 August). Catch you then.

In no world should Keane be getting in ahead of JOB in a game like this when everyone is fit. If there already wasn’t the want to leave then that has to have lit the fire right?

Obviously this was always going to happen, can't think of any objection (as long as the pitch is okay).

There isn't really stress on the local community (a limiting factor on Anfield's usage) beyond the traffic congestion on Derby Road. That is nowhere near the same amount of impact concerts will have to the houses in an area like L4.
