Even if Pope is back quickly, Ramsdale should keep the shirt. Pope has made loads of fuck ups this season, no reason Ramsdale should come out if he's doing well.

Agree with this. Against the low bar he's set so far it was miles, miles better without being a performance for the ages.

Much, much better. Picking Miley was a great decision and I'm delighted he's blasted away that away winless streak.

Not a peep out of the much hyped Grealish. Class act.

Full backs, Miley and Ramsdale made such a difference with retaining possession. That, clinical finishing and not having a massive individual fuck up from anyone made the away performance hoodoo absolutely fly away. Delighted for Eddie on his birthday.

Man of the match for me, just ahead of Thiaw. Really hope that's a proper breakout performance and he pushes into the side regularly.

He's making a huge difference to us retaining the ball, made some good tackles too. Brilliant corner for the opener as well. Hopefully giving Howe a selection headache and pushing for a run in the side.

Before the assist I was going to say that was his best half in our shirt, without being electrifying or anything. Had cut out the short passing mistakes, largely linked well with those around him and played a part winning the corner for the opener. The goal is all about Woltemade but good he's got an assist one way or another and hopefully he can use it as a platform to greater things.

Think I might have came all in my pants at that goal and I wasn't even at half bat. Ridiculous finish.

That's the best half of football we've played in god knows how long. Absolutely brilliant. Please lord let the second half pass without any mental individual mistakes or massive slices of misfortune. Can we just have two halves of playing well together in one game

That's an insane finish. Elanga finally off the mark with an assist too, great to see some green shoots from him today

Short arms get in

I hope the cunts go out of business. Brazil 1970 every time we play the fuckers but if you ever want them to win otherwise you can't rely on them for toffee.

Glad to see Miley in there. Hopefully helps us keep the ball, along with Ramsdale. Hopefully some signs of life from Elanga. Ramsey can't buy a start though.

Ange to Liverpool would be the most incredible thing to ever happen, ever. Give us a few weeks of Stevie G as caretaker first just to stick the cherry on the cake.

Isak 35 yard screamer that hits the crossbar, bounces down, hits the mackem keeper on the back and goes down as an o.g. for a 1-0 win.

He needs to be absolutely nowhere near the side for the weekend. Time and again he throws in a stinker against his former club, even when he was playing well a few years ago.

Loads better than he has looked in a while, tbf.

His heart isn't truly in it anymore, you can see it in his performances. An absolute busted flush and we should sell.

Arsenal's second goal Brighton's second goal West Ham first goal West Ham third goal Brentford first goal Marseille first goal 6 goals this season that have come from his mistakes. And that's not a "could he have saved it" type argument where you question the shot stopping, these are all positioning, rushing out, poor distribution or that fucking obsession with punching crosses. Ramsdale must be absolutely chod if he can't force his way in now. He may as well be Ruddy or Gillespie just with better wages.

Looked decent enough at RB I thought. We're not good at keeping the ball at the minute and he's probably one of the best we have at doing so, even if he's slightly less progressive as a result. Would like to see him get more minutes.

I don't understand what you're referring to.

Everton are 10/1 to win from behind at the weekend btw. Already got on for the next chapter of the weekly away game protocol.

Needs to fix this away hoodoo. Drop that cunt between the sticks for starters please, Eddie.
