That Spain squad is weird. They'll have a great midfield diamond but a serious lack of attacking talent. Even the weak Spain sides of the 90s had Raul.
Man great achievement from Brondby guys. Underrated club in my opinion. Congrats to all the Brondby fans out there.

Interesting decision to not crop out your Europa predictions
By LabouredPatriot Go To PostGod we really don't know shit do we?It's kind of embarrassing actually.
Sterling top scorer? Arsenal top 4? Nathan had Leeds relegated and spent all season succing their dicc
Fucking Christ this squad is dreadful. There's really fuck all manager can do with this level of talent. 20 years ago we had a smattering it world class talent but most players in the squad would at least be PL quality. Now we're scraping the bottom of the barrel with championship and league 1 players. The damage John Delaney and his cronies have done to Irish football will take years to fix.

I don't remember if I put in my predictions or not. I'm sure I at least got City winning right if I did!
classic brøndby fans. invade the pitch, also fans from outside... and with ski masks on. cant wait for all their players to have covid.
Was Grealish any good yesterday?
TIL Martial has one goal in 27 games for France, which is pathetic whatever way you slice it.

Not really tbh. He could have had 4 yellow cards if the ref wasn't a pussy, just running around doing reckless challenges.
I don't know if anyone is interested or cares, but a forum poster summed up what is the crux of issue is at Everton and the basket case that is the upper management over the years, and put it more eloquently than I ever could.
I agree, but the problem within that is we went from Moyes to Martinez with no directors in place. Then we got a new owner and appointed our 1st DOF and a new manager who made it very clear that the previous manager was totally wrong about everything and went out of his way to do everything the opposite way to prove it. This meant alienating and replacing almost half of an entire squad in 2 years, and it failed spectacularly and expensively. So we appointed a 2nd manager to try and fix his mess, and let's be fair to Allardyce, we all knew it was a temporary, damage limitation tactic. Allardyce said what we all knew, the squad was a mess, but he wasnt well liked, so everyone dismissed it.
So we go and get a new Director of football and a new manager, both of whom felt that the previous approach was wrong. This negates the consistency of the DOF approach, as it was a complete reset. The new manager had similar ideas/ideals to Martinez, and was once again, a complete 180 from the previous approach. Unfortunately, like Martinez and Koeman before him, he was so stubborn and inflexible, that he refused to alter his approach for anyone, and if plan A didn't work, plan B was trying plan A again. On top of this, he was about as charismatic a leader as Gary Megson, and he had neither the tactical nous nor the gravitas or pull to alter things in a different way. At least Koeman was a name, even if he was an arrogant bully who didn't care. But safe to say, it didn't work. Again.
Then, the stars aligned, and we had the opportunity to sign Ancelotti, 1 of the best most revered coaches in the world. On top of being available, he brings experience, exposure, calmness, connections, and a track record of winning. He is also a student of the game, trained under Arrigo Sacchi and is tactically astute as well as pragmatic, something we have been calling out for for years.
But the problem with appointing someone of his calibre, is people expect miracles.
The squad was patchy when Martinez failed to get players to believe in his methods.
Koeman made a bad squad worse by selling 3 of the best young stars in the squad and wasting hundreds of millions on overly expensive, older, bang average journeyman players in hopes of a quick fix to make us the best of the rest.
Allardyce took over his mess and realised there were no goals in the team, so spent another small fortune on 2 more quick fix short term signings.
Silva went the other way and spent even more money on expensive cast offs (and Richarlison) from other teams.
Ancelotti is 1 COVID interrupted year in to trying to fix 7 years of topsy turvy mis management and is left with the onerous task of the squad rebuild Moyes left us with in 2013, but hamstrung by the expensive flops that prevent any meaningful movement 1 way or the other.
He needs 2 years minimum from now, and if that means 2 years of treading water until we are in a position to challenge again, then so be it. Sometimes you need to take a step back to take 2 steps forward, and this seems like 1 of those occasions. We need a bit of patience.
Football is never ending. Not getting Europe in year 1 is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

By Meier Go To PostI missed out on the origin of the Reirom/Scum beef.I would imagine Scum did as well
By Meier Go To PostI missed out on the origin of the Reirom/Scum beef.Same. I have a suspicion, however, that, aside from Reirom himself, everyone did.
By faridmon Go To PostI don't know if anyone is interested or cares, but a forum poster summed up what is the crux of issue is at Everton and the basket case that is the upper management over the years, and put it more eloquently than I ever could.Trusting your future to Carlo is a mistake. He alienates players, he trains them poorly, and his tactics are passé.
Flab m8 I've literally thought about that napolol game so often since it happened haha.
Not that I cared so much but just a mind-blowingly terrible showing. 2 shots on target. Can only imagine how infuriating that was as a fan. Stick to figure skating haha.
There was that one 10 minute period where Ruiz, Insigne, Bakayoko and Manolas had all done simple passes that went straight out to nobody. And the lack of urgency. Truly incredible.
I do think Politano did well too though, when you mention Rrahmani and Meret.

Its tough man. A club like ours, we will never get a better calibre manager than Ancelotti. I know that he ha his issues, but I rather stay with him than changing manager every 2 year like we do.
we have no choice
