In 50 years time will it be on the club honours list that we finished 7th, 4th and ???. If we win a mere League cup at least it's another pot in the cabinet and another notch on the bed post!

Memories are memories. Phil King gets brought up almost as much Savo's belter. Probably more

Following us away in Europe is the most fun you can have as a fan. The atmosphere and appetite for the games at home is incomparable to the League Cup.

I'd rather be in the Champions League every single year than win the League Cup just once.

I agree with Ads - but - this last week we have reduced our chances of either goal this season... So maybe the approach didnt work?

Not worried...yet.

We do need to get the home winning form up and running soon. 9 points v Palace, Brentford and Southampton is doable if not perhaps on present form.

3 wins from first 5 away is still better than what likes of Newcastle and Spurs are achieving on the road.

We aren't winning the league and I'd be more than happy with 5th this season so today was just a very bad second half and maybe a reminder that we might need to start freshening up the first 11 now as we really haven't rotated that much in the prem this season and we have talented players on the bench desperate for a chance.

Last year and the year before I'd have posted exactly what you did Ads. I was all about top 4. I just feel now that we have smashed that off the list we need to address that near three decades trophy doubt.

As long as Emery and his team are here, and happy, I wont worry as they will sort

They are walking a near impossible tightrope - to try and improve the team with a near 0 spend.  And they've done amazing at it. 

For this season, Im not convinced we got the mix quite right, too much for the future in our signings maybe?  Maybe trying to change to much in the way we build our play.  I dont know - but they will put it right. 

Wonder if we could have got another forward player on loan - a bit liek Zanilolo but not shit - as that would have taken some pressure of Bailey and Jayden who currently both look like they have the weight of the world on them

My biggest worry is if we not get CL this year is players want moves to CL clubs. Emi, maatsen, ollie for example. We just dont know what impact this would have on them if lets say we dinish 7th or 8th and end up in conference again.

Top 5th has to be the aim this season for us

Surely, Everton in a good suit is just to impress a Judge

Everton are gubbins. Felt sorry for that poundland Bebeto up-front yesterday, hit the bar from point-blank range and got VAR'd-off later.
