What a fucking move that was. Isak has to bury that

Love this, our press and intensity is back

Least we can avoid the former player curse. Happy with our lineup too - I'd have started Barnes but he could be huge from the bench.

Any uncertainty in the squad about Howe leaving for England resolved, Gordon supposedly agreeing a new long-term deal, Isak back from injury, back at home after a good away performance. We're getting 3 points today.

Given Liverpool will clearly need a Salah replacement in the next year or so, bringing in Minteh for a season deputising on the RW wouldn't have been that wild a concept tbf. A million reasons why they might not have gone for him though, not sure you can read that much into it (as much as I'd love the copium of it saying he's overrated).

Anyone got a river for this?

Don't have a particularly strong reaction to this either way. No issue with having a foreign coach, can see the arguments for both promoting from within and for getting in a proven tactician. Excited to see how this plays out

Get in

Gordon up top you think?

Yeah, it's more frustrating for me because we were so much better than them and just couldn't bury them. But positives to take for sure in terms of an improved away performance

Everton have the nonciest song possible. Fucking awful, up there with the bubble shaggers from the capital

Gordon at Everton seems to be the anti "returning player always scores". Needs one to break that curse and start battering them on the reg

Anthony

Murphy on the left feels weird, Willock on please

He literally scored a cool as fuck penalty against one of the best keepers in the world last weekend. You can't say to a player with his mentality that you don't trust him to step up and take it. Completely back the decision, as shit a pen as it was

Gutted for Gordon. Hope that doesn't effect him too badly as he's played really well so far against that unique pressure he'll be under

Even entertaining the notion that the dinosaurs he was lumped with as managers throughout his career may have been right should be an insta ban tbh. If nothing else because it's the most depressingly boring opinion possible. Pure, unfiltered misery distilled into a few lines of text.

Is Sandro fit? Had ice on his knee after coming off at the weekend.

Hold my hands up, I was one of the doubters thinking his head was turned and that was the reason for his performances so far this season. Well and truly proved that wrong there, great stuff.

What a point, and more importantly what a performance. Exactly what we needed.

Good game from Jacob Ben Arfa tbf

Get innnn

Lovely ball from Bruno

Whew

Thought we played quite well there. Much better performance than most this season. Little unlucky to be losing that imo
