Armstrong MoM for PNE.

04 Oct 2025 17:35:56
Super Frank 😃.

04 Oct 2025 17:24:24
My fellow evertonians if if Gabriel Jesus is better than what we have he is not that reliable goal scorer we need and not for what he would cost I am not necessarily a fan never thought he was prolific enough that's just my personal opinion I would take a punt on Barry's former team mate and striker at his previous club.

04 Oct 2025 17:58:19
He’s a good footballer and he works hard

But:
1. He can’t finish
2. He’s on big wages
3. He’s very injury prone
4. His movement for a striker off the ball is absolutely awful.

04 Oct 2025 16:39:38
PNE Armstrong for season! How about in Jan we take Osmajic on loan.

Not very optimistic about the Palace game, we have trouble scoring against sides at the bottom of the league and Palace are a good side on a great run. However any team can win in this league so keeping my fingers crossed. I know all the arguments about keeping the Beto/ Barry combination but would like to see Moyes try something else, anything else actually. Hope that Grealish responds after being left out of the English squad by making the difference in a tight game.

04 Oct 2025 07:19:06
Not sure any team can win the league Mike. Not in this day and age of financial restrictions favouring certain clubs.

We’ve a history of ending clubs on a run and we have a good record against Palace so I’m hoping that we get all three points tomorrow. Oh for a striker who could score! We could do with a Mateta type player like Palace have. Once we get some proper scouts in instead of using the 33rd Allerton troop, we would have a half decent side. Instead, we have Beto and Barry who are still working on their scoring badges amongst others.

04 Oct 2025 08:44:58
Time to give someone else a go up front Mike can’t keep shipping points as we have been doing mate, still going for a win myself 1-2.

04 Oct 2025 11:58:03
GB do you honestly think that if we change the striker but continue with the same tactics we’ll see the striker score goals?

Personally I don’t. Persevering with a loan striker who gets little service is pointless. Moyes subbing like for like and keeping tactics the same is also pointless.

Until we set up to give our strikers some service and support it doesn’t matter who the striker is.

04 Oct 2025 11:58:36
GB going for a Palace win, that's a turn up.

We make plenty of chances and beto misses them all it's the player not tactics any hald decent striker would of scored most of the chances he's had, can't blame a manger that has little options.

04 Oct 2025 12:45:06
Sorry Bluepasty but if you actually look at the chances we create hardly any of them are for Beto.

Grealish has apparently created something like 17 chances but only 2 of them were for Beto and he scored 1.

Saying it’s Beto is nonsense, our strikers need service and chances being created for them and that’s not currently the case if you actually look at the stats closer.

04 Oct 2025 12:48:52
Agree Bluepasty he absolutely useless.

04 Oct 2025 12:51:14
Still a win for us thought we were playing away hence the score, sorry to disappoint a couple of you lol.

04 Oct 2025 13:24:49
Having watched the first half of the Leeds game, Dom would have been a 3rd striker in the squad that couldn’t hit a barn door.

04 Oct 2025 15:25:48
Beto has had plenty of chances created for him, he just isn't good enough to convert them! To blame the tactics etc is a bit of a stretch mate, we can all see it's his inability that is hampering the team.

04 Oct 2025 15:45:44
Of course bluepotato mate nonsense to say otherwise.

03 Oct 2025 23:06:38
Predictions for Sunday?

I’m going with 1-0 to us. Someone has to score out of our forwards - it’s got to happen soon.

Think we’ve really thrown away points against Villa and West Ham so hoping we make up for it against Palace.

04 Oct 2025 09:58:09
Palace haven’t lost a game this season and had a good result in Europe. Think the best we could hope for is a draw. I’m going 0-0.

04 Oct 2025 10:15:07
I think Palace will score. Obviously I’d love a win, but this is a very good side, so if we can get something out of it, rhat would be ok.

The thing is, one of our forwards has to score at sone poibt.

04 Oct 2025 12:00:44
Palace will score, we need to score more.

04 Oct 2025 11:54:23
Palace have a game plan they play high press and are very good at it when they loose the ball they work hard to get it back their midfield are quick and their centre forward can hold a ball up we'll do well to beat these.

04 Oct 2025 12:00:44
Palace will score, we need to score more.

04 Oct 2025 14:25:25
2-1 good day for the Blues.

03 Oct 2025 22:21:09
I thought this a couple of weeks back but never posted. That Hill for Bournemouth looks a quality RB. Has only just really started getting minutes for them and is by no means a starter.

Played for Fleetwood, Hearts and Blackburn previously. 23 years old. I imagine he wouldn't cost too much.

04 Oct 2025 09:59:21
If he’s that good why would Bournemouth sell him?

03 Oct 2025 17:35:42
Martin sherif looked a handful for Rotherham last night and scored.

03 Oct 2025 19:57:33
2nd best striker we got in youth after Graham imo.

02 Oct 2025 07:53:45
No K D H for our game on Sunday. who gets to play.

{Ed025's Note - Dibling i expect GB..

02 Oct 2025 09:31:07
It wouldn’t surprise me if Moyes plays McNeil.

He could also go for Alcaraz or Tim.

Can’t see Dibling starting particularly after Moyes comments the other day.

02 Oct 2025 12:59:53
Is Rohl still injured.

02 Oct 2025 15:38:17
If he starts McNeil then he needs a slap.

02 Oct 2025 16:46:21
Alcaraz for me so he will probably start Tim.

{Ed025's Note - i really hope not Ron..

02 Oct 2025 16:53:57
He’ll start Tim.

{Ed025's Note - thats a nightmare Swan..

02 Oct 2025 17:02:57
Tbf BMD McNeil should be bought in on the left as he is probably the only player that could suit our strikers needs. Crosses into the box is our only hope for them to score.

Personally I would love Grealish Charlie and Dibling with Nidaye up top.

02 Oct 2025 17:34:50
Whoever comes in should have the mentality of 'must have a blinder' to try and get in the first 11.

02 Oct 2025 18:34:44
That would do me BN mate bring it on.

02 Oct 2025 22:11:13
Skilliman in the middle dibbling on the right sorted.

03 Oct 2025 02:01:27
To be fair, BN, it's not as if the midfield and wide men haven't been supplying the team with chances. Between them, JG, KDH and IN have created 38 chances. Not all have been for the forwards but a good portion of then have been balls into the box. It's time to try something else as our forwards are killing games for us.

03 Oct 2025 08:51:18
McNeil, Alcaraz and Grealish behind Ndayie for me.

03 Oct 2025 11:27:47
Totally agree BP. Not for one second disputing our lads creative ability but our strikers don't have the ability to deal with the chances that are fashioned. My point is, maybe throwing it back a bit more old school and getting balls whipped in for headers may bring more success in terms of goals.

03 Oct 2025 13:28:02
A tanker turns quicker than McNeil. Palace the form team of the league right now so Moyes will set us up not to concede. It won’t be pretty but without a striker we are fooked. Can see Liverpool first half all over again.

03 Oct 2025 15:14:04
Dibbling to come in on the right?
Or
Ndiaye Grealish McNeil
Alcaraz.

03 Oct 2025 20:02:45
I'd go

Dibling Alcaraz Grealish

Ndiaye.

03 Oct 2025 23:46:13
McNeil has gone from being our outstanding wide player to being derided by posters here.
Yes, we have better attacking wide players now but let's not forget the contribution of McNeil over the last few seasons.

NSNO IMWT UTFT.

04 Oct 2025 08:47:59
This site turns on a player quicker than McNeil turns, he’s not the greatest by any means but has and can find a game changing moment.

04 Oct 2025 10:02:00
What contribution? Oh yea scores the odd worldy, sorry I forgot about that.

04 Oct 2025 15:27:09
I get what you mean, BN. I just don't have faith in the forwards to convert anything at this moment in time. For a big man, beto is just as shocking in the air as he is on the floor!
