First half is one to forget, really slow start, messy and lacking any quality from anyone. The Dubz "iniury" was perfectly timed and seemed to swing the game. I thiugh Burn at LCB has been faultless and dare I say his partnership with Schar looks better than that with Botman for the last few months. Willock was poor before he limped off and the change for Anderson was a positive one, he's really starting to look class and made a big difference today. Gordon was his usual menace today causing them all kinds of problems once we settled and Bruno scoring a goal like that on his 100th appearance was just perfect. 1 point behind Man Utd and West Ham with a game in hand on the latter and a massive GD advantage on both is insane when you put this season into context. It makes me want to vomit but hopefully Liverpool do us a huge favour tomorrow.

Chalk that off you prick!

No need to brag

How is this still 0-0? we're getting absolutely bummed here

Made us out to be the bogey man while the real bogey men hid behind their nefarious rules. Got the whole league believing their crap until it came knocking at their door.

I quite like the idea, i think Gordon will probably drift across both sides but less cutting in for the shot and more early crosses can't be a bad thing.

It looks like related party transactions may be abolished also as more and more clubs realise what they've signed up for. Mentions at the bottom of the article that there has been a seismic shift in power from the traditional "Big 6" to a big 7 as we have steamrolled our way into the conversation, this is what we've been waiting for.

We have such an exciting team on paper and with some quality additions in the summer we could be a force. However, after this season and with some key players now missing for the start of next season I wouldn't blame any of our "purples" looking for something else. I hope specifically Bruno, but players like Isak too will give us at least another season to really have a go at something. He is undoubtedly better than we are at the moment.

Got to hope any extended contract is an attempt to get some kind of fee for him but can't imagine a lower league team willing to pay him anywhere near the wages he'll get for taking up a squad place here.

Just another hangover from the Ashley era, bloated squad of championship players stunting our growth, it's going to take years to fumigate the place with PSR. Our bench and one or two of our starting line up have no business in a team looking for European qualification regularly. Ultimately we're at that point again where we need to seal the win in the first hour or we'll struggle to put an impression on the game.

Daylight robbery that Everton got anything from that, proper Sunday league hack jobs, "get it in the mixer", didn't have a sniff on goal while Dummett gift wraps the draw for them. Having said that, but for s couple of great Pickford saves and some poor play around their box we should have been home and dry in the first half and the penalty is inconsequential. Super frustrating and it feels like we just don't have the bodies to push for Europe and when we do now I feel it will be too late. Also, absolutely despise these Scouse blues.

Decent first half, Hall and Anderson both looking good for their starting places, Everton's only threat has been Longstaff. Isak is looking sharp too, can see us scoring at least one more but really should be 2 or 3 up on balance of play.

What a solo goal! Isak is ice cold

Honestly we must hold some kind of record by now, this is just horrific.

Am I the only one confident of a win?

Halls time to shine, MOTM performance for him tonight, hopefully Krafth getting hauled off at the weekend focuses him for today. Just hope we can do the business early on because I'm pretty sure that bench is in violation of the Geneva convention.

Ashworth will probably be there less time than his gardening leave at this rate, 18 months, 2 years max and he'll have done whatever he enjoys doing and want to move to the next "project".

Can you imagine the hell on if it was NUFC kicking their players off the pitch like that? ? different when they do it though, not a peep on twitter.

Supporting NUFC is never boring like, we looked done and dusted at 1-3 and players dropping like flies but what an amazing show of steel, grit and determination to carry that to the end. West Ham went to bits after the 2nd pen and we smelled blood, the injuries showed us who has a future here and who doesn't though. Hall surely has nailed his position down for at least the Everton game as Burn will have to deputise at CB, Barnes needs to come in for the banned Gordon and Anderson deserves his chance ahead of Longstaff (The only one I'm not convinced will happen).

How shite must West Ham be for us to get on level terms after what's happened today?? Switched it off at 3-1 down, maybe I should watch less games

Literally no one has said they're done for the season, everyone is saying they're done WITH the season, comprehension is important.

I've been Eddie Howes staunchest defender but this is unacceptable now.

I'm done, checking out for the day, 2 week warm weather break for this clown show? Get fucked.

I'm on about him getting kicked by a team mate
