With the caveat that, of course given FSGs history, we’re in no way guaranteed to sign a new 9 in January - who would you want if Slot gets the green light to sign the striker he wants for his system?

A Firmino type? (Cunho perhaps, linked with Arsenal yesterday)

An out and out goal scorer? (Gyokeres, albeit much to prove outside of the Portuguese league..Isak when on form?)

Genuine aerial ability? (Sesko?)

A pace merchant? (Openda)

A gamble? (Osimhen on the cheap?)

Some hot poo young starlet?…

What says 6CM?

Quick turnaround. I hope the players can pick themselves up from that rollercoaster game.

This is our last ever PL game at Goodison so should expect Everton to super up for it.

Macca suspended. Not sure how Slot addresses this as Jones shouldn’t partner Grav IMO. But i suspect he will.

Kelleher

Trent
Quansah
Virgil
Robbo

Grav
Jones
Szobo

Salah
Diaz
Gakpo

We need to fix the first half mindset for this and get back to winning ways. We’re at the start of a tough period and are teaching opponents that they can come out of the blocks early without fear of us matching them.

Yes, today wasn't a great day. Felt like a loss. Dropped 2 points while all three teams below us won.

7 points ahead still and we need to get back to winning ways.

It was never done and dusted despite what was being said in the media.

A brain fart and lacklustre first half brings our run of wins to an end.

Pick your top 3.

Kelleher
Quansah
Gomez (Alexander-Arnold 67’)
Van Dijk
Robertson
Gravenberch (Szoboszlai 67’)
Mac Allister
Jones
Salah
Nunez
Gakpo (Diaz 67’)

Stay forever, paid whatever it is that you want. FFS, he's relentless...

Hi guys! I am new to this forum and i've joined here to explore my knowledge on dream league soccer game! i hope you answer my question just type yes/no....so that i can contact you directly and ask my questions on this game and can play friend matches with you.

We have got them in the FA Cup third round at home.
And for those who are too young to remember the thread title is a reference to an advertisement for I can't remember from a long tie ago

We're home to the mighty Accrington Stanley - 19th in league 2.

Few decent draws in there, Arsenal v Utd. Villa v West Ham.

Rest pretty shite.

Kinda feels like the way he's playing lately he deserves one...

To the tune of Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones:

Na-naa, nananaaaa, na-nana-nana,
Na-naa, nananaaaa, na-nana-nana,
Co-dy Gakpo,
Dutch Sensation,
Co-dy Gakpo,
Dutch Sensation,
From out wide,
Cuts inside,
Checks his stride,
Then let's fly
CO-DY GAKPO!!
CO-DY GAKPO!!

etc.

It's easy to take the good times for granted. Many of us have experienced enough good times and bad in the last 2 decades, to enjoy good times when they come. We might not win anything this year, but we are performing so well, currently.

Here's my starter list of things to appreciate, for the Arne era.


Most departing managers don't care how they left the place
Most departing managers don't create chants for the new incoming manager
Most departing managers don't plan to leave 7 months beforehand, allowing for succession planning
Most former sporting directors don't return and again, hire ANOTHER seemingly excellent manager
Most teams dip when they lose a once in a generation manager
Most teams struggle to adapt to all the new "behind the scenes" coaching staff
Most clubs don't hire amazing managers so well (twice in a row) without being supported by bazillionaires.
Most clubs will buy a few new players for the new manager and waste money/make mistakes in process.
Most players take a season or two to adapt to a new managers ways

And now..
New manager is a tactical whiz.
New Manager gets the club
Players taking to him well (not a given, after Jurgen)
Improved our defense
Improved our attacking players
World class Goalkeepers coming out our arses
Blessed with so many leaders (Danke Jurgen)
We beat the Champions of Spain
We beat the Champions of Germany
We beat the Champions of England
We beat the Champions of Europe
We've lost 1 game out of 20.
We are top of the Champions League
We are top of the Premier league (by 9 points)
Winning every game
Great Owners (yes, they are)
Players dying to STAY (even the ones out of contract)
Being one of Europe's best
Expecting to win games
Total preparedness
Expecting signings to be great
Seeing youth players coming through
Lots of unity and a lack of politics
Total respect from our opponents.
Terrific rotation...
Great squad...
No more being dependent on just two players (like Torres and Gerrard)...
High performance rebooted midfield.
Sensational reinvention of a #6.
Top managers in the mix for the Liverpool job
Top performances from the overall squad who step up
EVEN more youth coming through....
Players want to be here.
New players will want to come here.
(add your own)

Who knows what will happen... but it's a great ride again this year (Ride, Sally Ride).
