He always has some really nice touches every game. You can see how much confidence he has with his pace to best people on the wing now and he’s improving with his passing. I feel like he’s getting closer all the time to being a really good player. The only thing is whether he can stay focused and on it for the whole match game after game, he’s probably one of the less consistent members of the team

I thought he was slightly sharper yesterday, not necessarily in gaining space or getting a shot off as he was wasteful there but at least physically he managed to do a bit more hold up play

Shit, must be serious, didn’t even realise he was unwell. Hopefully he can make a recovery. Wonder how it will affect Spurs

Couldn’t even get Fraser over the line. You can bet Dyche is raging right now. What a shitshow. If I was an Everton fan I’d be feeling like we did under Ashley

Sure I’d love our first trophy that we win to the champions league but I’m not going to turn my nose up to a league cup. It’s amazing that we’re in a final for the first time in 24 years, let’s enjoy it and enjoy the fact we have a team that can genuinely go into any match with the expectation of winning it

Great work Boehly, hope he loves losing money

Was extremely classy tonight, he’s our most reliable outfield player aside from Schär and Botman

Thought he was just going to let the game play on until they scored, didn’t seem arsed about keeping everyone for an extra three minutes

Yeah, the challenge itself was an unlucky red in that a split second difference and there’s no contact but you can’t come down on someone’s ankle like that and expect to stay on the pitch. Nothing dirty about it, I do think that Bruno’s only weakness is keeping a level head. I hope other teams don’t target him for it

I think they’ll come out hard for the first fifteen, think it’s their only chance to try and throw us off. They can’t afford to let us dictate otherwise the game’s over for them

Reckon we’ll save it for after, sometime this week

Walker-Peters was their best player in the first leg. Keep him quiet and don’t allow them to get any free kicks for Ward-Prowse and let the Brazilian boys hound them all game long. Willock is going to be eager to have a quality game with Gordon having arrived. 2-0 win

Yeah, he’s still too good for a championship club. Last season his commitment, running and crossing caused other teams a lot of problems. He’s a tenacious player and could still be playing in the premier league for a bottom half club for a good few years yet if his body doesn’t fall apart

Wait, is Dummett out of contract then? I thought we’d extended it but maybe it was just until this summer. Really hope it’s only until then as he’s essentially broken glass

I see everyone’s chilled out in here

It’s a loss to not have Shelvey with no replacement but there’s easily enough cover for Fraser

Probably on balance a very sensible move but we need to be really active in making changes if we don’t score / control the game

Multiple clubs eh? Time for Chelsea to stake their claim to one of Scotland’s greatest exports, a £65m bid might see this one over the line

Think my order of wanting clubs to miss out on Top 4 / finish lowest is: Chelsea Spurs Liverpool Man U Normally Man U would be near the top but Chelsea are vile, Spurs would be the spawniest fucks ever and Liverpool are so awful that I’m not remotely worried about them getting there. I’ve basically accepted Man U are finishing top 4 at this point

Extremely grim

When Chelsea say so, and that’s the bottom line

I think he’d choose us but if Chelsea don’t want to sell to us then it’s not going to get done and I don’t want us giving them a ridiculous amount to get it done when they’re the ones inflating the market

I thought he’d be up for going there given he had a great experience and it’s still in London. Would imagine they’d be high up on his list

Are Chelsea against selling him to Palace? Or do they just not have the cash to make it work?

Wish I could be a fly on the wall in Dyche’s office right now
