Bit hard to judge Ipswich at this point like, their first two games were Liverpool (h) and Man City (a)

In fairness to Dyche, if not for the points deduction last year, Everton would have finished level on points with Brighton and only been 4 points off a 9th place finish. He's a perfectly good manager if your goal is survival, infact he's an elite manager at that specific task, anything more than that though is where you run into issues.

I wish I was ballsy enough to have triple captained Haaland

Steve Evans started really well at Rotherham.

You love brandishing the word disgrace around

Next week is going to be interesting, especially if we don't put in a decent performance tomorrow

Bowen is still my first choice RW like. He'd be perfect for our style of play. Barnes, Isak, Gordon, Bowen = Goals.com

I was expecting Palace to be decent this year (the still could, it's very early on) but the loss of Olise has hit them much more then I was expecting. They've been disappointing so far.

I think i've mentioned it before, but personally I've always felt that £35M for someone who has had one semi-decent season in a non top 5 league after getting him for £6m a year prior, is really good business. If he becomes a top player is moot to be honest, you can only look at the deal at the time of it happening, and at the time it was great business.

Has it been mentioned if what happened with their stadium last year, will be the same this? Would hate for them to be in a title fight and then be told they can't go up again.

Its the first time i've seen him play today, thought he did okay from what I saw, but didn't set the world alight and looked very raw, Dalot had him in his pocket most of the game, he certainly didn't look any more effective than say Murphy. Thats not to say he doesn't have massive potential, which he clearly does, it just on todays viewing, its not the massive disaster people where making out.

Not sure what Zirkzee was meant to do, he was diving in from the original cross, and his momentum carried him into the Garnacho shot.

Was literally typing the exact same thing. Been a minute since i've seen something like that

Like Brighton's goal in the first half, thats come massively against the run of play.

I know they're winning, but Brighton have been pretty poor here. Certainly not as great as I was expecting.

Plymouth man

Ah nothing says "I'm sorry" like running to the Sun to spew shit all up the wall for a payday.

I can't remember a time when it been an issue every time he's played CB, LB it happened, but not CB. So i'm fine with it, especially since he's been utter quality since he went to CB last season.

Yeah, Burn may not be a great passer of the ball, but that doesn't make him a "Bramble esc defender". His stats compared to CB's are actually quality:

Burn has basically been imperious anytime he's played CB for the club, and Krafth solid under Howe. Weird statement.

Huh? He'd start for the majority of teams like

Quality player annoyed at not starting a football game shocker. Its basically a non-story and continues the trend of journalists trying to shit stir to add an air of negativity to the club at the start of this season.

He specifically said that he has a lot of input about what players are selected and that we go for, but naturally he doesn't get involved with the actual transfer deal.

I need to head to bed, so the nine are in the spoiler

Wales still technically haven't done it, they'll be the tenth next week if TNS hold on in the second leg.
