In truth when I've done them it's been both! I didn't exclude them but would have just moved to the next player if they had been in the top two.

It's pointless when some of us moved on or released our star players, may as well just have everyone available. If I still had Lallana he wouldn't be available for lawyers but Gabriel Jesus (better and more expensive) is.

I'm willing to do a cash deal for one of my keepers no problem.

I thought the only loans allowed were emergency keeper. We might have to go back and redo Bam's game because I loaned him someone for a week.

I think that one qualified as a proper emergency as squads had cut off before he returned and he had no keeper.

Nando could have done something (and is) about his keeper

I think Europe suits them better than PL. I think they perform better when they are the under dog. Rather like Luton used to be in the FA Cup.

It’s certainly looking that way.

Part of me is glad that Everton won’t get through in the Europa League. Some of the quality that is looking like dropping down from the Champions League could embarrass us massively!

Not really and whats worse he's the CB I'd most want up against him. Whatever joy Grizzlyman could have against Jags, he'd have double versus Ashley Williams and Michael Keane at the moment.

Considering we've been managed by Koeman, a top class defender in his time and David Unsworth, a decent CB, our defending has been poor

Everton were known for a strong centre, likes of Barry, Fellini, Pienaar, Cahill, Arteta....even the likes of Carsley and Rodwell! They have lost that bit of bite in midfield....players who roll their sleeves up a bit.

Moyes was good at building a solid base and that brought success through not conceding and getting a goal (usually from Cahill)

Martinez couldn't manage a defence, but was good going forward. Had a season where his attack, combined with the defence that Moyes established (Coleman, Distin, Jags, Baines). Then when that started to wear off, we went backwards and Martinez was sacked.

Koeman came in and first season was good. I think this was because he had to largely work with what was already here.

This season, too many players off form and I think Koeman's personality and approach lost them, so they weren't playing for him anymore. He also tried to play too many number 10s.

You could see straight away a difference with Unsworth, which suggests the players were more prepared to play for him. But he still needs to learn tactically based on his first two games, so a bit more time learning before taking the top job might be best for him.

This is the problem for England, they hand out caps like confetti.

A handful of decent games and you get a call-up. I watched a lot of Tammy Abraham for Bristol City last year and there wasn't a whole lot to his game other than goals.

I see your point Bam, and at this time you could be right.

I just think you should be performing better for longer to earn the call up. Getting selected for England should be difficult and players should need to work hard for it, and even harder to stay in the squad.

Might make a difference to the team's performance if it wasn't so easy to get selected.
