I've said from the start that Bruno needs to replace Shelvey at some point, Willock is the only one capable of scoring goals and with Bruno's eye for a threaded early pass it could really unlock Willock's ability. We replace Willock with ASM and Wilson out then we offer no goal threat.

Classiest fans

Oops!

Still in our hands, if we can't get safe from here then it's our own fault. Huge game against Brentford, could be season deciding. We're on a 5 game unbeaten run and the teams above us are flailing, nothing to panic about.

I can see Howe holding him back because the engine room is doing its job at the moment, if we're in a losing position going into the 2nd half tomorrow or getting overrun in the middle of the park Bruno will get an earlier call up. If somehow we're winning again Bruno will only get a cameo.

This was it for me, I think he was more kept quiet than had a quiet game.

Can't be 0 when we're not mathematically safe, however for the first time I'm dropping from a 6 to a 2,we've got the wind in our sails now and I can't see us dropping back into the bottom 3 when you look at current form between us and them. Even better is the fact this is probably the last time we'll see this thread in a generation.

First 3 in a row in 4 years and 4 points clear of the drop, finally some breathing space and some confidence going into the most important part of the season.

Leeds are shocking

Preferably a draw today but would settle for a Leeds win, would like to keep a few teams in striking distance, the more teams we could put between us and the bottom 3, the better. Brentford are definitely in free fall so we could get the opportunity to leapfrog them and Everton if we can get our own results.

This Manure squad will be lucky to get Europa conference league next season

Everton are one of those teams that you think is too good to go down but isn't quite the sum of its parts, they don't have the character in that squad to deal with a relegation scrap. Dele Ali was a big mistake too, clearly a bad egg, believes his own hype and hasn't done anything of note for 2 seasons. The only thing they have going for them is the current bottom 3 are trash.

Everton haven't been been relegated since 1950, about time that changed!

Lampard had no answer to the injuries, no plan B, once we figured them out he didn't know how to change it. Everton are going to struggle to the end of the season.

Definitely a confidence player, he needs time to grow into a game, can be frustrating at times but when it clicks he's quality.

He did an interview after the game and nothing has been asked so looks like maybe it was just precautionary?

Absolute stellar display by Tripps, praying the injury is nothing serious as he's the glue that's holding the team together, breathing confidence into the rest of the squad.

Ok so my throat is killing me, ASM and Trippier fighting for MOTM, finally some positives to look at, some quality performances out there today. You can see the confidence building, let's hope they can carry it forward.

BRUNO! BRUNO! BRUNO!

I forgot what this felt like, bar 20 minutes in the first half we've absolutely dominated this, it's a thing of beauty.

MOTM Trips, what a freaking superstar

GTFIIIIII

£12m is an absolute steal of the century for Trippier, puts in MOTM performances every game

Trippier so calm

You beautiful little man
