Geordie Ahmed

Yes but it isn't always the case And he's particularly good at that aspect of the game

I think it's a bit unfair to call him a clogger, he's not totally useless on the balk and there is value for teams like Everton in having a defender that really puts their body on the line

Good finish from Beto even though he was well offside

Was just about to praise Branthwaite and Haaland just does that to him

Would love the floodgates to open here and for Everton to get battered

Generated some power on his weaker foot

Some finish from Haaland that

It's class the way he gets passed the full backs but just feel his final ball is quite underwhelming, when Everton are defending deep and in numbers he needs to be less predictable It's mostly that low cross which Everton are easily dealing with

When Doku can nail his final ball consistently he'll be elite As it is his final pass/cross is often poor

Some block from Tarkowski that

Been an awful half of football this

Looks shite but it's probably just him taking time to get up to speed after his injury Once he scores he'll probably go on a run

Same, I captained him

Ridiculous attempt, should have passed it to McNeil

I think he's managing his minutes after his injury lay off rather than him being dropped

The blue card idea is utterly absurd Less so the idea as I understand the frustration behind it but moreso the referees are struggling with things as they are, adding another element of significant decision making is hardly going to make things better I give it one game where the inconsistencies are highlighted and no doubt the bigger teams will benefit from it

Not a chance we get £15m for Ashby

Love Joelinton and would be gutted if he left but he's not our best player so shouldn't be our highest earner Based on his last 2 years he's no doubt earned a pay rise, though ironically he stole a living for the first two I think he'd do well to remember how much Howe (combined with a bit of fortune of Clark getting sent off) has benefited his game and realise he's the best coach to stick with

There's way more fouls in a game than there are red cards or red card incidents

He knows VAR can't get involved but he's saying they should, when you see a clear foul like that I get the argument but wouldn't want VAR to have an even bigger remit

Yeah, it's annoying when you see such a clear foul but not sure VAR getting involved in more incidents is a sensible thing

That's a foul by Ederson but outside the box so guess VAR won't get involved

What on earth was Ederson doing there?

True I do love watching him play and I like it when he plays in this position rather than when he gets put out wide

Foden is ridiculous
