They told you that at RTG?

The physio won't know what's wrong with it by just looking at it ffs.

Why are you in RTG during our match ffs?

Flick makes it easier to him and he was nowhere near it.

Botman has to clear that properly with his stronger leg, inexcusable.

So fucking soft.

I miss ASM's reliability fitness-wise.

I don't think you have visited Las Vegas in the summer when the baseball season is on. Regularly hits 40C to almost 50C, it's not enclosed to protect the wealthy from some drizzle.

Because he’s a cunt.

If Ederson had more composure it's only a yellow for Nunez, massive dive before any contact.

Lovely corner, get in.

He absolutely is, one of the worst in the league for those ’get the ball and maybe break a leg in the aftermath’ challenges. Fucking buzzing that he was shown the red.

How are Saliba and Gabriel not getting booked, fucking hell.

Amazing effort by Toney.

This is the best Everton in ages and would be incredibly harsh if they were relegated.

Soucek tried to kick the ball to the moon ffs. The fact it happens to catch defender's arm doesn't mean it's worthy of a pen.

Fucking hell, that VAR ref should never be allowed to watch another match of football. Well done ref too, never easy to go against VAR on those.

Did the ref give it on the pitch? Or VAR wanted to give it?

This Roma resurgence not a good look on Mourinho.

Not much of a mystery, huh? Got homesick and wanted to go, nothing to do with his ability, And Diame was playing like a prime Vieira at that time.

Interesting that Howe adds the 'absolutely concentrated and really well-trained' line there. Remember reading some Swiss people wondering how he can look so good for NUFC but make simple errors in their national team. Think he has struggled a lot with that in his earlier career and probably one reason why no one thought he could be this good in a two CB system even among NUFC fans. It's obvious he has always had the attributes but he's been a real late bloomer thanks to Eddie. Even the weaker performance against Blackburn was IMO mainly down to lack of concentration and some arrogance.

It's great if a player with his raw potential and attributes also has a great work rate, I didn't know about that. Not the easiest combination to find even in the modern game.

Hasn't posted in a month, hope he's fine. Edit. As has been discussed, that explains it.

It certainly matters but I don't think it's that massive. I just randomly looked at Haaland (good finisher) and Sterling (poor finisher) from Understat. Sterling has scored 110 from 121.06 xG so underperforming by 11 since 2014 in the PL, roughly a goal per season. Haaland since 2019 has 115 goals from 103.45 xG in Bundesliga and PL, so overperforming by roughly two goals a season. I know Understat uses very basic xG data but it's still a class site considering it's free.

Think we would be fighting with Spurs and Villa for top 4/5 without the injuries. Still think we'll finish above Man Utd so 6th is very much a possibility this season too.
