Everton are so bad and hilarious. I know the work starts next season but ever since Ancelotti got in there, they have talked and talked about all their grand ambition of competing for titles and qualifying for Champions League but have been so useless on the pitch. Haven't even proven anything to suggest they will do anything meaningful next season. 

Think its been more of a deeper routed issue than their managers though. Players haven't been good or consistent enough. Think if he gets to get 4 or 5 good players into that squad they can push on a bit but I have to agree it will be a tall order if they finish top 6 next season which is probably where they want to be. Coleman came out and said players cant keep hiding behind managers at some point this season and that is spot on. They've invested heavily and have some good players in there and even some less good but more experienced ones who have really shirked any sort of responsibility.

The point is, if you're gonna shout from the rooftop about this and that, then you better perform on the pitch. Action speaks louder than words. Instead, Everton kept talking and talking but haven't proven anything and they have finished even behind Burnley!

Liverpool losing Lallana and Lovren. They will struggle with team depth next season if they do not bring 3 or 4 new players.

For all the games Lallana started he wont be a miss. Plus Lovren as well, 16 games in all comps, hardly a huge loss could easily give them minutes to a young kid. If it were more used players yes but can’t really see them missing those 2

Both are terrible players tho. They are lucky to get rid of them. I can’t see them having du ja. Frugal summer again. But with the team they have there is only so much they can improve upon. Their main threat will be ageing, their style is not exactly energy preserving

As kids going to Stamford Bridge in the 70s our second club was Brentford (though we used to go to Craven Cottage alternate Saturdays).

1-0 down from the first leg so no pressure then :P Come on Brentford !

I cannot go against Gallagher.

What a stupid camera angle on Brentford stadium btw.
