Finch farm

I think it's that, actually, as much as the result itself and the record.

I think that starts to wrangle, together with the typical Everton that stuff, which is like, Arsenal not scored from a set-piece all season, which is what we were discussing in the Finch Farm press conference room on Friday before the press.

I think we mentioned

it last week, didn't we, on the show? Yeah, we did as well.

A Premier League debut,

this picture goes on the wall of Finch Farm with everybody else.

The academy graduates who played and all of that.

He's an inspiration to the rest of the lads.

And therefore, you start going... we don't even look like we want to get back in this game and you're still hoping you're thinking why we get a corner or equalise the crowd there was nothing we had one attempt at goal in the second half one we weren't even shooting from 35 we had one attempt which was a loop tether which was a comfortable catch

And if you're really confrontational about it, we'll never get the opportunity, will we? Because we're never, unless me and you win a billion on the US lottery or something and buy in and we're allowed to walk down the corridor at Finch Farm, knock on David's door and shut it behind us and say, what the bleep bleep expletive went on there, right? We're never going to be able to do it, but you can't help, no matter how half full you are versus half empty, thinking that for 12 games a season, the culture leans more towards a low scoring defeat is acceptable.

than trying to win.

Now, the perversity for me is if you start off with that belief, I don't know, did you put this in one of our WhatsApp groups? Somebody did.

So put him in the under-21s.

Give him practice games, bounce games at Finch Farm.

Get his fitness that way.

You can't throw a player on who looks like he's wearing concrete shoes in the middle of the park in one of the most important areas of the pitch.

He said Everton was fine.

Finch Farm training was good.

Only black mark was no food.

They didn't supply them any food.

Well, I think it's g- I mean, I love the optimism.

Today's agenda, obviously the latest fitness issues from Finch Farm, key selection dilemmas across the pitch, as well as predictions, as well as team selection predictions as well.

Um, we might as well start with the, the pre-match press conference.

David Moyes spoke to the media around quarter to two this afternoon.
