Popular Post Shukes Posted September 27 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 27 Haf I have to admit I get frustrated and then I bait you. That’s my weakness not yours. I’m trying hard to change. You do sometimes attack people yourself though without realising it. You did it to me recently and I responded terribly. Again… my weakness not yours. We’re all guilty of it. We all have Egos. You recently accused me of being to emotionally attached. And I thought about, and admitted…. Your right. Im still not sure if that’s a right or wrong thing, but you are right I get emotionally attached to players and maybe that affects my own opinion. But we are all Evertonians and that is the most single important thing. Let’s get behind each other as well as our amazing club.

It’s very difficult to get a true sense of someone on a forum that is based mainly on opinions. I've had to PM people on more occasions than I care to share which tells me 2 things, 1 I can be a right dickhead and 2 I’m prepared to hold my hands up and try to make amends. I have had disagreements with Haf myself in the past and have felt the need to PM him, and I can only say how I found him on a personal level, that he’s a very intelligent personable person, who when you engage with on a one to one is not the person you seem to think he is. Dunlopp if I may I think your last statement shouldn’t have been shared in the open forum but PM’d directly to Haf as to how you feel, you’ve made a statement you can’t know to be true, if you had sent that directly to Haf you would have had true picture of the response. Anyway I’m not here to teach you or anyone one else to suck eggs, as Matt has said on many occasions people need to PM each other to try to forge a way forward before it gets too out of hand, and we are the evidence of that wouldn’t you agree.

Popular Post Matt Tiger Posted September 28 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 28 Deserves plenty of blame for how horrifically ill prepared we were for this one but also plenty of credit for galvanizing the side at the half and also for ensuring we were a bit more positive late so as to not concede chance after chance. Everyone seemed fairly relieved when the whistle blew and hopefully this allows us to play with more belief more moving forward.

I give him credit for the 2nd half turnaround, and for once his substitutions worked he kept his key players on instead of removing them and allowing the opposition to take control of the game, a lesson learned from previous games and hopefully one he won’t forget.

Romey 1878 Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 This is what Dyche had to say about half time. Quote Asked what happened in the dressing room to inspire the change in fortunes, Dyche said: “Not a lot. We just tried to correct a few things and told them it is a team game and everyone has got to make a difference and not wait for someone else. I just felt we played a bit cagey, which is understandable, it is a nervy stadium to get that first win, and I think we handled the second half very well.

As captain and current Mr Everton I would hope and expect him to do that every time it’s needed, we’ve heard in the past that he’s done a lot behind the scenes to cajole and rally the players. Any manager needs a good captain to rely on when things are not going well, Dyche is lucky to have a captain like Coleman and should allow him to take the stage, players listen to players who have the history that Coleman has probably more than they listen to the manager.

He deffo knows he's going cos he is taking churlish pot shots here there and everywhere. he said Dwight had one great moment and one good moment. Just say "he bailed us out today with match winning quality"....... from a technical view his second goal was better than the first. So I'm not sure what was great and what was good.

Considering the team have no show for 45 minutes and looked like they didn't know what they were doing they got behind the side. I didn't want to read too much into it, but I paused to think after that comment. I think it's no secret that Dyche will be off soon and it does seem to me that he's not arsed about it. There does seem to be an us/him type of relationship which I guess the fans aren't totally blameless for, but its a puzzling dynamic nonetheless. Edit: Just to add, if Dyche is saying (not that I'm drawing conclusions) that the fans/stadium are somehow to blame, even in part for the start we've had then he's utterly deluded.

They were moaning and groaning for most of it, brightened up when the goals in and sang, and then went back to being nervous watchers. Superb is not the word I'd use to describe the crowd at all yesterday. I'm not having a go at all, I was part of that crowd, but Dyche isn't wrong in that assessment whatsoever.

I was also part of the crowd, and we were nervous, first half showing made it feel like we didn’t have a chance of getting points, Palace we running rings round us, we were offering very little, 2 moments of quality from McNeil won the points, we didn’t really do much else after that. We did groan but also cheered when there was stuff to cheer about, Branthwaites crunching tackle being one of them. However we won, onwards and upwards from here hopefully.
