Sampson Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 Surely this is going to be the most pointless buildup to end of season awards ever. If every single player/pundit doesn’t vote Haaland to win all the PFA player of the year, Footballer of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards then someone is desperately trying to be a bit contrarian.

In Everton's case, they might want someone that can come in and get the club on the up like Rodgers did when he first got here. While I want Rodgers out, let's not forget the first period of his tenure here was actually quite good. As for Spurs, it's more hope than anything as in it's just another option for him to go somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFS Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 They won’t get Rodgers given the Liverpool connection. Was bad enough when they had Rafa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, genuinely trying to be impartial and see other views here but he did well here with what Puel built and the dirty work he did, Everton ain't got that, they're in disarray. I somewhat (although not completely) agree with comments of "Rodgers would do well for the first 2 years" when people have spoke of him going to other clubs. Everton though? I really don't see. Like us, Everton need a builder, Rodgers is not that, couldn't be further removed. He'd actually be far more suited to Spurs and be potentially somewhat a 'success' for the first 2 years as people speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unabomber Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 I don’t know where to post this but I have thought of a rule and can’t believe it isn’t already in place. Basically whenever a ref stops play due to a player complaining it’s a head injury, that player should be off the pitch for 5 mins. I think players are using this as an excuse to stop play and Mac Allister did it yesterday. It’s tough as the ref has to stop even if the player is faking it. My rule would surely stop this as teams won’t want to be down to 10 men for a period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should get asked to go off and have a proper concussion assessment for a couple of minutes. No time limit, and away from the managers who might pressure them to get the player back on.

FoyleFox Posted 22 January 2023 Share Posted 22 January 2023 Erling Haaland Goals - 25 Goals per 90 - 1.45 Minutes per goal - 62 And there are 18 matches to go, madness. He's just not human, I swear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
