At the moment I'm not sure who is challenging Leicester for 4th. 3rd and 4th looks a straight fight between Leicester and Chelsea, everyone else, on current form, are also rans.

Yes, Silva is on borrowed time. We need a win against Southampton next week as after that is an international break. Just enough time for a twitchy owner to sack a manager and get a new one in. I'm not saying that is the right move but I'd be nervous if I was him. The obvious move, imo, would be for Arteta. Ex player, in the area already as assistant to Pep. Ready for the next stage in his career. Whether he is up for a dog fight, our December fixture list is grim, I'm not sure. It may be the wrong timing for him.

If you beat Saints and we lose at Leicester Emery might beat Silva in the sack race during the international break :o

There you go again that’s more trolling, you’re so bad you don’t even know you’re doing it.

Lighten up mate I promise never to mention Mane and cheating in the same post ever again. 😗

It could happen but I don’t want it to.

Emery under a lot of pressure but I think he will survive the season at least. I’m hoping he can turn it around he deserves time, 18 months isn’t enough.

I heard that Ozil is not training very well which is stopping Emery picking him. This isn’t going down very well with the powers that be and if rumours are true that Emery was told (against his wishes) to play Ozil then that doesn’t bode very well.

Emery may well walk before getting pushed.

Can't see him walking. I know you keep going on about 18 months not being long enough to fix the Wenger problems but its a result driven profession and ultimately a business and surely CL is the target for the board at least.

Can you really see Everton going down? Think Watford and Norwich are going to be in big trouble and can't see them getting out of it. With Southampton 3 points behind it has the feel of a real relegation 6 pointer next week. Win that and its a far more comfortable gap. Arteta in the summer as manager?

No I don't see us in that sort of trouble. It's looking like a wasted season though, a season that is up for grabs and we have chucked it away. Lots of money spent, no real improvement seen, quite the opposite. He had a good pattern of play by the end of last season. That has disappeared this year.

I don't mind iffy results if I can see progress or a direction we are heading in. Not sure I can a direction right now, not an effective one.

I agree it’s not the main issue but i think VAR at the moment is frightened to go against the ref decision. Maybe if VAR had just 2 or 3 interventions maximum a game they could then just focus their minds on getting the right decision regardless.

They should focus on all decisions !

Emery has lost the dressing room. Players are clueless as to what he wants, players are liking Emery out tweets, he is bog average, and has to go.
He has alienated Ozil, and from what I hear, he is training fine, but Emery doesn't like him, along with Torreira. Emery will lose this battle, it is just about how much damage he is allowed to do before they pull the plug.

Mourinho? No, thanks, but this is following Uniteds mistakes. He is done at elite level. Lets move on and break new ground please.

I saw a post/tweet the other day that summed it up really well for me. Something like...

Leicester are the team that Everton thought they would be a year ago.
 
Horrible injury.
But have put my crash hat on and must say I am siding with Sawtooth ( can’t belive it)
I have been saying for years this sort of tackle needs stamping out .
Son played the man NOT the ball , it was a matter of time before this happened.
All “ unprofessional fouls “ where there is no intention of playing the ball should be red.
The ball was nowhere near Gomez when Son hacked him down.
And I don’t feel sorry for Son that was abysmal.

Hope Gomez heals ok he is the one I feel sorry for.

That's fair enough ,but even though you gave warnings of the content you still told people they could see pictures of the incident on twitter.

Well I'm not squeamish and I wouldn't judge anyone else for wanting to see what happened. I read earlier they're not going to show it on match of the day either.

No no no and no. How would that help refs and improve the game? Scrap VAR until the standard of refereeing has improved. The only way to do that is improve the quality and not just be happy with the likes of Moss, Friend, Mason, Tierney etc

I'm pretty certain if you were paying £1k a season to go the game you'd have a completely different view on VAR.

So shall we get referees from space then?

The whole dynamic of VAR is wrong, instead of the ref on the pitch or the one at Stockley deciding when to use it, take it out their hands, 3 reviews per game to be decided by the captain of the team within 30 seconds.

That’s no guarantee they would get the decisions right though!
If you used one of your calls and they didn’t give a pen like Everton today you would not be happy.

Son is one of the nicest guys in football, there's no doubt in my mind it was simply a late sliding challenge with no malicious intent. Unless he comes out and says otherwise. It was simply appalling luck that he snapped his ankle on the ground while off balance. There are 10 or 12 tackles like that every game. People get tackles wrong and they get booked. The injury was extremely unfortunate.

I don't feel sorry for son either tbh. He has a real nasty streak in his game.. he isn't a saint at all. Yes in this case he may not have meant it but he leaves dirty tackles in now and again so you can't be shocked when you actually hurt someone.

When we beat spurs last season he left a nasty late stamp on snodgrasses ankle when he "won" the ball , clearly meant it and knew what he was doing but in such a way to get away with it.

Only matter of time before someone got hurt

Disagree he's got a proper nasty streak in him which he just hides behind the nice guy imagine
