Just when the team gained some trust in themselfs and the manager, starting a winning streak, ending the season with a lot of positive mood and optimism for the new season, they change the manager lol. So another "rebuild-season" incoming. 
 
Also: the players wont like this. The new manager will automatically have a squad of doubtful and grumpy players in front of him. Great. 

Yup we need another Ballack or Terry and quickly. 
To be fair to Connor, thought he did OK and had a good game. What he lacks in top quality skill, he makes up for (IMHO) with sheer grit, determination and leaves nothing on the pitch. He could step up, if the manager backed him to be like Terry or Ballack. He has the mentality, just needs the confidence.

i keep thinking about that Sarri and Kepa debacle in the COC final in 2019, Azpi was awful as a captain that day, he did fuck all to solve the problem, Terry would never have allowed that shit to take place. I have a gut feeling if Caballero came on for Kepa we would have won the pen shootout.

There was no doubt who the designated penalty taker was in real pressure moments like the games against Man U and City.didnt see anyone fighting to take it off Palmer then.but padding their stats when already 4 nil up, oh they want to be "heroic" then..
 
 
 

We had a strong captain for13 years, and this wouldnt have happened.  Madueke can be forgiven as he thought the penalty was for his foul, but Jackson has a bit of a 'start a fight in an empty room' about him.
End of the day its not important in the scheme of things, shows a competitive spirit.
 

To be fair, his reaction post Everton game has been spot on. 

🤣
Wow did you guys listen to any of the stuff after the game? Or we just throwing shit and hoping it sticks? 
He basically said after the game that all the players knew who the designated penalty taker was?
I mean is it really Poch’s fault Jackson and Noni acted like selfish bellends? Ate blame the guy for things he is directly responsible for but not for Noni and Nico going against something that has been established all season.
I mean why would it not be clear to anybody, yet alone his team mates, that Cole who has scored 8 from 8 this season from the spot, is the designated penalty taker? Are you both really going to say its Poch’s fault as opposed to the two lads who caused the scuffle?

Not really sure why Matt Law has become so toxic towards Chelsea. I know he often got inside information when Roman owned the team, but he has kept getting more negative since the team was sold.
 

Yeah penalty situation only bad thing about the game. Noni and Jackson have no right as they are both very very lucky to be playing for the club at all, yet alone having the audacity to try and take the penalty off of Cole Palmer, who has been our best player by a country mile.
 

Agreed with most here that the penalty spat was immature. Some of these young players need to learn to play for the team an not their FIFA ratings.

Rose may become prime minister one day, starting with Everton news from youtube.
But that's the thing I don't like about politics - you have to appear everyday and dream up an issue and talk.
I d' make a broadcast about the end of the world, the collapse of international communism, the
new pope and that's about it.
I will neve become prime minister.

The influence of Sterling. Disrespected their team mates,their coaches,the club and fans. Glad Poch was seething over it at the end tho personally would have substitued them straight away and sent them to the dressing room. Conor did somewhat intervene but clearly not respected by them as captain.another thing we have missed in recent years.
 

The immaturity on show in that penalty spat highlights exactly what is wrong with this group of players and why they fold in so many key moments. I can often forgive lack of quality when you give it all for the team which. Jackson and madurke have often enough put in the yards but playing for the team is also about putting it first, being disciplined when it counts. Yesterday it didn’t count that much in the moment but it shines a bad light on our leadership. When Gallagher is the only one to step in after it went on for seconds there is something wrong with the character of team as well as the authority of the coach. 

Yeah, but equally the opposition made it a game where technical quality on the ball wasn't really required and just being able to win the ball would make you look great. So, yes, best game from him, but I don't think he showed anything that will ally the fears of us who think he isn't technically good enough.
Yeah, Palmer's poise is insane. He has now had at least three pens with lots going on around him - City, Utd and this one. Each time he has taken them as if he is in his back garden. 
I put it down to no Disasi. Everton are the best team in the league on set pieces and we handled them pretty well. Disasi just switches off too much and is too easy to lose with a tiny bit of movement. Hopefully, Trev and Silva can stay fit and see the season out. 
Well if that is the case why did he not sub them off? We were 5 up at that point. Even worse he huged Noni when he came off. If he doesn't want to be undermined he needs to put down markers. 
 

It reminded me of the 7-0 (or was it 8?) Against Villa a few years back. I was at the game and was wasted after half time. I still don't know how I made it back to King's X.

Yeah - he's clearly reached snapping point.
We need to be a team not a bunch of egos.
Can't win anything unless everyone is pulling together in the same direction.

Great win that, nothing much more to say about Palmer, he's just elite level.
The fight was a joke, embarrassing really- only dark cloud on a very very good night
Nice to see Poch flinging verbal punches and getting angry with some of this lot, he's too nice and need more of that 

That penalty fight is the most embarrassing shit I've ever seen. Bench Noni and Jackson a couple games 2 clowns.

Palmer will be second choice behind Saka on the right. At least for this Euro I think. He’s brilliant but they have Saka, Bellingham and Foden behind Kane 

Unbelievable cool head from Palmer though to stick it in the net.
I thought everyone had a good game - except perhaps Cuca - I just can't warm to that dude 

Yeah - he's clearly reached snapping point.

Yup - there is hope.
Jackson shows there's not massive harmony in the team - shame, as if we had that - could be the makings of a great side. Need to lose the egos and play as a team. 
 

massive 4 difficult games in a row (if you count West Ham in there and they are technically above us on points)
win them all and we VERY likely get 6th and the Europa League
