Dear god the time it took Shelvey to get up there

Wood completely lost Dunk there. Could use a triple sub of Manq, Bruno & ASM to regain some control

Just saw highlight of Aston Villas second goal. Unreal pass by Chambers

I'm getting Swansea vibes off them. We're dismantling Brighton Rafa style the way we did them a few seasons back.

Brighton controls practically every match they play, which makes us not look so good in general play, but this seems to be the recipe to beat them. Solid organisation in the back, quick, effective counter attacks due to their high pressing. Well played by Howe imo.

I feel so bad for you.

Fraser needs some of that Ronaldo protection by the refs. He gets kicked to bits every fucking game

Excellent play by Wood. Great stride by Murphy. Great follow up by Fraser.

YESSSSSSS

Nearly the perfect start there

I suspect it's a precaution as there's doubt both Manq & ASM are ready to play a full match

With ASM and Manquillo back from injury on the bench together with Bruno, I hope Howe uses his substitutions more liberally than he has the last few games.

Good team, and good to have options in ASM & Bruno to change the game if needed.

Was a nice goal. Well played by Leicester.

@SiLvORStay away from the telly please

Never too late to do the right thing.

I think they've played a back 4 the last few games with Lamptey, Veltman, Dunk & Cucurella.

I don't know much about Flick, but can you really say any ot the others are world class? Van Gaal and Mancini only went into international management again after failing at club level. Deschamps did well at Monaco, but did nothing spectacular at Juve with a superior team in lower leagues. He failed at Marseille. Enrique failed at Roma but got results with the best team in the world. They may be better than Southgate, but I wouldn't consider them a class above him.

International management doesn't seem very sought after these days. What world class managers are there managing one right now? Southgate is of a very high standard compared to his peers imo.

It's not really worth posting or commenting on. Howe is not going anywhere.

It's not really fair to criticize Everton fans for blaming Rafa if they go down. They follow their club closer than we do. Remember the flak we got for outing Sam Allardyce? He had 7 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses (26 points in 21 matches) in the league but we all knew where we were headed if we hadn't sacked him. Keegan came in and didn't record a win in his 8 first matches (2 draws, 6 losses). Lampard got his first league win in his 3rd match. If we had gone down with Keegan that year, I guarantee you the majority of fans would have had one guy to blame, and it ain't Kevin Keegan

Forest is my go to team for random 90's players when testing my friend's capability of remembering every single PL players birth year. Don't forget Andrea Silenzi!

I don't really get it. What gets them thinking that the problem is the squad when they were 5th or 6th before Bruce took charge? Did they sell a few key players in January?

Fell asleep some time after 64th minute before their first goal Funny news to wake up to though.
