Jose plays virtually the same 11 players every single week ... despite any type of form ... this has introduced mass complacency ... favouritism on this scale destroys any work place harmony ... it must be soul destroying for everyone else ... Jose may be purposely avoiding playing any signings which he never sanctioned, who knows? ... at the end of the day a few changes needed to be made against Everton to freshen up the team and Jose bottled it big time ... The result was inevitable when the team sheet was announced ... if Jose sticks to his guns I believe there may be no way back ... Hope I'm wrong ...

If Jose shakes the team up a bit we will win this 2-1 ... which I'd be very happy with. However, I suspect Jose will then immediately revert back to his same, fav 11 for the Arsenal game ...

If Jose continues to stick to the exact same players for the duration of the season we won't even qualify for Europe. It's blindingly obvious for all to see, except Jose ... He could be sacked by Christmas and this time deservedly so ...

I new we'd lose when the team was announced ... no changes, no shake up, no competition for places, nothing !!!

As totally 100% predicted Jose starts with an almost identical team but brings back Mikel ... doesn't even have Baba on the bench ... I'm sorry but Jose's favouritism stinks, he's become much too predicable ... He's special no more ...

Nope ... Still 100% wtf totally baffling signing today ...

Totally pointless if this signing doesn't create competition for places to relieve a mentally fatigued first 11. Can't see that it will help or Jose dropping any of his untouchables to risk playing Papy? I may be wrong but I just can't see it ... Hector has to be the most bizarre signing I have ever witnessed ... Totally pointless ... 100% wtf!

No, but Man City totally bullied us off the park.

There's no logic in football ... No one on here had heard of Zouma and Dave ... yet both amazing cheap bargains !!! We are currently getting rolled over by Teams full of Papy's ... ie. Palace. Expensive players such as Torrid, Cuadrado, Fab, Matic, Costa, William guarantee nothing, at times or all the time (Torrid, Cuadrado). U just never know ... ???

He's a lump, like Zouma. And tbh we need a bit more physicality in our team. Mikel, for his size has zero presence. Man City just bullied us off the park ... Therefore, why not?

This thread will go into meltdown when Jose sticks with Bran. And the big shake up is to bring Rambo back, next to Matic ... U heard it first here, lol.

No ... Qualifying for Europe will be the challenge this year.

Jose has only himself to blame. Constantly picking more or less the exact same team every single week, regardless of form has created massive complacency and predictability ... it worked last year. However, it definitely won't work again. It must be demoralising for squad players as there is obviously zero competition for places. Fergie used to always manage to integrate some youth to keep things nice and fresh. Jose is the opposite and seems frightened to take even the slightest risk. It's become boring and predictable on the pitch and it's no surprise the season has started so stale ...

I suspect Jose will start with virtually the exact same team, once again. Bran and Dave to start. Oscar for William. Rambo next to Matic. Therefore, Everton to win ... comfortably.

Jose needs to mix it up ... a couple of fresh faces each week to bring the rest along and on-board.Sticking with virtually the exact same line-up, week in, week out has created zero competition for places, mass complacency and mass predictability. It worked last year but it is obviously not going to work again ... Jose has been shockingly poor, so far this season and if he continues to soldier on with his untouchable favourites, regardless of form then he's doomed ... and only has himself to blame. Unfortunately, I can see Jose starting Bran again next week and continuing to play Dave out of position ...

Past performance suggests not a single loanee (above) will make the first team ... ?

Man City ... full members cup final Wembley ... 5-4 win ... full stadium, almost 3/4 CFC ... outside, Chelsea dominated.

Some really memorable turn outs for me personally. Sunderland away semi-final league cup ... Incredible/huge, huge turnout! Leeds away ... the 1-1 draw ... almost 40% CFC inside the ground! Cambridge away ... 1-0 win ... 70% complete ground take over. 100s couldn't get in. Brighton away ... amazing turnout ... whole town CFC! Luton away 3-3 draw ... considering most games were snowed off that weekend we still totally dominated the gate and home end scattered! Sheffield Wednesday away 4-4 draw ... at such short notice for the replay date, on a weekday night we still took thousands upon thousands up there. Their hardcore seat area next to us was scattered. Cardiff away 3-3 draw ... home game, full stop. Pompey away ... surely one of the v. best away turnouts they have ever seen, if not the best? Seats dismantled at the end. Stopped by Ken Bates! etc.

Quote from weaintgotnohistory ... "It will be interesting to see how it affects Everton in the long run, however, especially in how young, talented players handle negotiations going forward" Spot on.

.

He was poor all last season ... there will be no miracle improvement this one.

Spot on ... Jose's judgement is wrong on this one.If I was Remy I'd hand in a transfer request and get out quick!

Marin even worse ! Another shocking signing ...

Should be first on the team sheet now. Very suited to the PL. An excellent signing
