You don’t rate him? Fair enough, but there’s no way you can pin the first half performance on him.

You made that assessment with him on the pitch for 20 mins? Incredible.

Just a shame it’s against Liverpool. The one team I’d love to beat into obscurity.

Anderson didn’t make Miggy miss his chance or Pope have a rush o blood to to the head or allow Nunez to slip between the lines for the goal. A baffling statement tbh.

Wonder who Rafa is supporting?

Murphy to come on as a sub and hit the post. Bruno to bury the rebound.

Personal experience is of Arsenal fans as the most arrogant and entitled in the PL. They can get fucked.

Candidate for worst 45 mins of the season.

We look totally flat, have done for weeks now.

Gordon on the bench is a good move, he can replace anyone across the front three.

Cheers, wonder how they could fit more into that space?

Anyone know the current capacity of the East Stand? Maximising that space - the stand is now 50 years old - with a new improved stand looks the key to a 60,000+ capacity.

That is predicated on the East Stand also being extended. It would need very clever architectural sleight of hand to create additional seating in that space. I may be wrong though.

Will the new owners really sign off on an expensive extension to the Gallowgate that only adds 7 or 8 thousand seats? I think the ground will still be too small. We need to be looking at least 65k approaching 67/68k in my opinion.

ASM can have no complaints, he was poor.

A lot on his shoulders already. Without Bruno and Isak he’d the only one on the bench with the potential to make a difference.

Really poor, passing sloppy. The formulaic passing patterns, especially down the right between Tripps and Miggy are being disrupted too easy.

Would love to get a ticket - have put out feelers but not expecting much. Still have the shirt that I wore at the 1998 Cup Final which would get a reprise. Oddly enough it swamps me now so I can only imagine how baggy it was 25 years ago. My recollections of that day somewhat clouded by alcohol.

Five three piece suites and a bed side table?

Must have been the reference to eating bacon.

Everton were the big losers of the PL in my opinion, they were instrumental in the formation of the PL as part of the 'Big 5' but immediately fell away as soon as is started and were immediately taken over by teams such as Keegan's NUFC and Blackburn. They've always had a chip on their shoulder and for years were flirting with relegation before Moyes had them briefly pushing for the top 4.

No worse than Bellamy.

Following a similar pattern to recent games, our final ball is rushed or lacks quality. Need someone to step up here an take a chance.

Got tickets for Athletic Bilbao v Real Madrid on Sunday. Anyone been to San Mamés? Any tips, good places to go on the lash?

Fantastic game today, my MotM. Makes defending and coming out with the ball look effortless.
