It&#8217;s not his fault.<\/p>\n<p>Sure he will find the net now and again but where else will they come from except from the free kicks that Grealish may win now and then.<\/p>\n<p>Unless George or KDH become support up front it seems Moyes will be obliged to use the same conservative tactics he has used for years.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage we cannot expect any change to the negativity that Moyes employs but it&#8217;s not all his fault  with the dilatory board we have.<br \/>Okay we needed to release McNeil but did we need another winger who doesn&#8217;t find the net.<\/p>\n<p>George could conceivably be a target man to help Barry as he has a lot of skill but would need the right coaching which would take time.<\/p>\n<p>I am not really sure the next window will produce any better handling by the board than this last one.<\/p>\n<p>The next game against Manure will be a real test and our record at this new stadium is not good.    <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"1565310\" id=\"1565310\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Posted<br \/>\n        02\/09\/2026        at<br \/>\n        18:25:17        <\/p>\n<p>\n        I like Barry, if he doesnt get injured, (everything crossed) he will do a good job. On the whole its a good team. I suspect however we will be looking closely at some of our younger players to step up.    <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"1565314\" id=\"1565314\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Posted<br \/>\n        02\/09\/2026        at<br \/>\n        18:37:26        <\/p>\n<p>        I&#8217;m no lover of Moyes and his dour tactics.<\/p>\n<p>This will play right into his mindset of negative football, but on the other hand&#8230;he hasn&#8217;t been given the tools to prove otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Genuine shit show of a window.    <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"1565331\" id=\"1565331\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Posted<br \/>\n        02\/09\/2026        at<br \/>\n        19:42:56        <\/p>\n<p>\n        O.K. Guys &amp; Gals time to let it go, it happened, it was incompetence of the highest order, but there&#8217;s nothing to be gained by cultivating a toxic atmosphere around Hill Dickinson &amp; the club in general. Draw a line ( but never forget) and get behind the players who are here, starting Sunday.    <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"1565332\" id=\"1565332\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Posted<br \/>\n        02\/09\/2026        at<br \/>\n        19:50:06        <\/p>\n<p>        Easy Edward, I am still on phase one of the five stages of grief.<\/p>\n<p>As Tony said, we are best with our backs against the wall.

False Dawn. Ian, I couldn&#8217;t agree more, it&#8217;s the hope that kills you.    <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"1565355\" id=\"1565355\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Posted<br \/>\n        02\/09\/2026        at<br \/>\n        21:00:06        <\/p>\n<p>\n        The whole saga is a mess but what worries me is our valuations. No one at the club has challenged the stated fact that we offered \u00a335m for Richarlison who has 10 months on his contract! The turks have offered \u00a38.6m. Meanwhile city fans are calling \u00a365m for Illy a steal and its 20m light of what he is worth with 3yrs on his contract. Meanwhile some of our targets are signing for hull and Sunderland before us. How come?    <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"1565370\" id=\"1565370\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Posted<br \/>\n        02\/09\/2026        at<br \/>\n        21:27:06        <\/p>\n<p>\n        Terry#10 When you have an owner who\u0092ll fly to France to persuade a player to join his club, and an owner who never went to Goodison or Hill Dickinson, that\u0092s your answer.    <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"1565382\" id=\"1565382\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Posted<br \/>\n        02\/09\/2026        at<br \/>\n        22:00:58        <\/p>\n<p>        Please sign this and share with as many Evertonians as possible<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/c.org\/kYjMmkN5KG<\/p>\n<p>online petition to get Kinnear sacked    <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"1565389\" id=\"1565389\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Posted<br \/>\n        02\/09\/2026        at<br \/>\n        22:13:17        <\/p>\n<p>\n        Signed Colin \ud83d\udc4d    <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"contribute\"\/> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"midemphasis\" href=\"https:\/\/www.toffeeweb.com\/members\/patrons.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">How to get rid of these ads and support TW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 ToffeeWeb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Patric and Jon are back for the latest episode of ToffeeWeb Talk, where the pair mull over Deadline&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":612617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-612616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=612616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/612617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=612616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=612616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=612616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
