Nearly as gorgeous as Callum tbf.

It's really annoying.

Schar with the trademark clanger. Luckily not punished this time.

Think we've looked ok tbh.

Targett looks solid as fuck.

Yeah he regularly rattles those in

Right idea by Fraser, but Wood very slow to break.

For such a technical player you would expect Jonjo might look for a cute pass in those positions rather than blasting a shot in from distance.

Eddie very measured and confident in his interview as usual.

Well that's the thing for me. Was he really likely to be less effective than Willock? And Willock would be a great sub to bring on in the second half if we were chasing a win.

Rob Lee saying Bruno should be starting.

I just hope he can still make those runs, Burnley fans seemed to think he's been sluggish this season.

Alli is one of those who I think presents more of a danger from the bench, especially if he's not up to speed. That's actually quite a smart decision tbh. Willock would have been similar for us.

Yeah, I mean I don't expect to outgun Everton with our forwards, but I was quite confident of winning the midfield with Bruno in there.

Thing is, it doesn't work on two accounts for me. Not only would Bruno have given us more control for the first hour or so, but IMO Willock is much more dangerous off the bench.

Klaxons sound for the new challenger to Ando7

That will all change with the arrival of Bruno tonight.

I do fancy him for a goal tonight. Two games under his belt, and a week's warm weather training. He should be starting to get a feel for how we play now.

Yeah that was my alternative to Shelvey, but he is loose in possession. I would bring him on as a sub, he was really effective coming off the bench last season.

I've actually got quite a lot of work done today, been trying to avoid getting too involved in this game because there's too much tension. Feels like there's much more at stake than just three points. Their transfer window signings vs ours Howe vs Lampard Barcodes vs scouse mackems Rafa's legacy

Was it against Hull under Steve Bruce when we came back from 2-0 down? I was there, it was absolutely soul destroying.

Record the game because it's unlikely you'll remember any of it.

Really excited to see how he lines up with Bruno in the same midfield. I'm not a fan of Shelvey for reasons mentioned too many times, but with the legs of Joe and Bruno in there, that could really have the makings of a sexy midfield trio.

That's what I mean of course. Typo.

This. All I will ever remember this absolute fraud for is he made me so disillusioned with where our club was going, it was the first time I actively wanted us to lose games. Even Bruce didn't manage that.
