wormy

Seriously, Villa man..

Kissarse.

While I think Pope would've done better with the goals, that's why he's our No 1 and Dubs is back up. What I was more worried about was how much of an impact he had on our overall play. I get he can play it out from the back a bit better than Pope but I was shocked just how much we attempted it, especially when our players were getting utterly swarmed and looking terrified. His being rooted to his line impacted us a lot imo, too. Felt like every time the ball got punted in to our box it would just be bouncing around for ages, defenders looking petrified of it and I couldn't shake the feeling that Pope would've taken command of those situations with how he comes out to claim balls. I just hope a bit more understanding comes between the players. Still don't particularly want us going out and getting someone like De Gea, not that I think he'd come unless it was for stupid money anyway.

Please stop

Granted I don't frequent other team's boards but I can't shake the feeling there's a fuck ton worse than here.

Handiest resource is probably https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php but how accurate it is is anyone's guess with how close Eddie keeps his cards to his chest and how many times our players seem to have setbacks.

Hey it'll be good to see a bit of rotation though.

Fuck me. Throw some kids on, Eddie. Just have a laugh at this point.

You scouse bastard.

Night all.

You know we're not on it when even Schar's pinged balls are finding no one.

Argh that was some lovely work from Isak too.

Dubs on corners is absolutely terrifying.

Man why isn't AG just running full pelt at Coleman? Love him but it really feels like he's let the occasion get to him and is playing really reserved tonight.

Fuck me.

Are they hyping up the sub counter while the sub counter isn't there? EDIT: Oh okay they're there now.

Don't understand what people are seeing with the ref. Other than the weird decision to give Pickford the ball he's given both sides a lot of calls. If anything I think he massively helped us in one spell where we seemed determined to keep trying to play it through groups of 3 or 4 Everton players around the box. The match itself has been dogshit so far. Everton happy to drag us down to their level and unfortunately we've been all too happy to join them. Seems a specific game plan of conserving energy so far so I'm praying we've enough to take the game by the scruff of the neck this half.

I'm not sure I can handle another 45 minutes of this absolute tripe. How good we are most games makes these kind of games so much more jarring.

Fucking hell, man. This match is fucking dire.

Dear God.

We're playing a fucking risky game, here. Lucky the ref is pulling up for these fouls.

Can we stop passing it to Joe under pressure in the box, please?

Since when did Goodison double as an airport? Fucking bing bongs all over the shop.

Miggy in his weak as piss mood then.

Ah what a shame our quota for Everton fans is full already.
