We need to calm it down here. 9 is far too long to be playing like this.

What is this 8:15 nonsense? Any reason why its 15 minutes later than a normal kick off? Sky just wanted to make sure as many people as possible have to choose between leaving early and missing the last bus home?

that was a lovely build up. When we're good, we're very good.

Everton's defence have almost been as bad as Bick Nick's finish was sublime.

Are you Jak Alnwick in disguise?

Along with Gordon, this bloke seems to be doing his best to make sure he has the summer off.

We've got enough people making an arse of themselves as it is.

Cheers Nick

"JUST PUT IT IN THE NET!" klaxon time

Good positioning by the 3 defenders back there, held the line really well.

I wouldn't wish pain on 99.9% of footballers but if we were comfortable, I'd have no issue with him coming off the bench to absolutely smash Greenwood.

I mean we should have 1-0 up within the first minute thanks to his pressing. He has been combative (which we need against Man City) and while not as obviously as Hall and Barnes, he is helping our play down the left where we've looked most dangerous.

Thank Christ he looked offside on the replay.

Went off in tears and noticeably a few on the bench went to comfort her as she went off, didn't look a good sign.

What is Pope doing there man

Joelinton has been looking better lately I think, West Ham aside. No issue with him starting but I would like to see Ramsey getting more games, I've been pleased with how positive he has looked at times.

Durham have been growing into the game, a bit lucky their second got ruled out as it was a great bit of skills by their winger. Our back line look very error prone at times.

I'm almost the opposite. I'd rather a shite performance and the 3 points. Get over the mental hurdle of playing away and the performances will follow.

All came from a poor error at the back and almost did the same straight away. Such a shame after such a positive start.

1-0. Didn't see the game against Ipswich but we look so much better in these opening minutes. Boddy being back makes a massive difference too.

A reminder, our last regime bought him to be our striker

That is a genuinely world class header.

Was worried we wouldn't here 'ENJOY THE GAME' for a second there but he just squeezed it in.

Not many changes. Given Howe's words after Sunday, I wonder how much of this is a "Go and prove you're better than that" idea.

Why is Bruno pouring his drink on his shorts?
