The Skipper

He scored 20 in 26. That's an outstanding ratio whether you like it or not. 36 goals the season before that, arguably the most important player in his team - fired his team to the title and to the CL final. Before that, played out wide and scored 20. 5 games into the season and apparently Lukaku is a better striker than him. I'm taking everything you say about Costa with a pinch of salt anyway, since you think Lukaku is a better player than him.

What in God's name has Lukaku done for him to be even considered better than Costa?! Just wow, some people have very, very short term memory.

On Lukaku - not sure what you're on about. He was very invisible in the game.

Of course. He was on the bench the other day.

Don't agree with Pac on his Costa ratings but Soldado, Negredo, Kane - none of them fired their teams to titles like Costa did. Poor examples tbh.

Well, you're a Play Musonda connoisseur, I'm more team PLAY MUSONDA. I wouldn't say plagiarism, more like inspiration.

People need to look past the players tbh. The reason so many of our top players are under performing massively comes down to one man mainly IMO.

PLAY MUSONDA.

He won't get sacked, I feel like we're going to stick with Jose at least until the end of the season. This is very unacceptable though.

Do you know what. It isn't his fault that the manager can't see past his faults and continues to pick him. Another woeful performance.

No, we can discuss that in the Mourinho thread.

The players look devoid, not motivated to turn this around at all. We were happy at 2-1. We can't create anything decent. Another game where we just haven't created a good opportunity.

My God. Martinez will love this.

Unbelievable.

Just on Falcao?

Why did Ivanovic not release Pedro?

Kenedy - Hazard - Pedro. Interesting.

Everton are deliberately targeting that right hand side of ours.

Ivanovic so casual again... What an absolute joke of a defender.

Why are we basically playing Ivanovic at RW and Pedro at RB? Bloody hell Jose.

Oh dear.

That doesn't mean much to me. Oscar isn't a one man team. I'm purely looking at both talents and yes, they are on the same level to me at the moment.

Well, let's hope Begovic doesn't get suspended/injured.

I don't necessarily disagree with any of that, what exactly are you saying please to? The fact that I said Coutinho is on the same level as Oscar or? Both have consistency issues as well.

You're being very oblivious to our current form. We struggled against Palace, WBA and Swansea. Everton can definitely cause problems if we struggled with the former.
