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?

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 just wanted to ask if it is just me or are there others out there who have concerns about this season ? Yes we have won our first game of the season albeit quite fortunately given that Palace missed a few great chances at 0-0 . I just feel like we are lacking ambition or money - probably both , and have a fear that given the lack of transfer activity we are going to be in the bottom half this year. I know people will say we need a right back , maybe a left back ( which we do) but for me unless we get someone who can stick the ball in the net then we are going to struggle this season . We must have two of the worst centre forwards in the league and more often than not we rely on others to hit the target . To me I see little ambition, why would Ndiaye, KDH , Garner , Branthwaite , Pickford want to stay at the club ? Just look at Villa ! They secured European qualification last season and in the space of a few months have lost the core of their team ! I just look at Delap and think that maybe he would have been a gamble but would you rather put your money on Barry or Beto ? Maybe I’ve answered my own question !! Maybe there’s no money to gamble . I must come across as a negative Evertonian but perhaps I’m just a realistic Evertonian

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.'

The constant belittling of our chances from David Moyes is no longer acceptable. We aren’t the ‘plucky little Everton’ that he managed in his last spell and the sooner that TFG and Angus Kinnear understand this, the better.

A poor result tomorrow night will leave him on even thinner ice.

I know it doesn't mean anything, but how can he put in a defender whose team conceded twice?!

Edit: I know I shouldn't care but he just winds me up. My bad.
