I just don't want to have to sell Bruno, Isak or Gordon.

If I was Bruno this news surely would make him have second thoughts

Worth pointing out that changing the PL rules doesnt mean we can go wild, UEFA will still ban us for failing their rules

I was just thinking that

Feel sorry for non-Foden owners.  Many will have taken him out for a hit. And many owners kept him because his value is too low to get to Salah without more hits.  Brutal variance. 
 

Im up to 28k.  

Sums up my season. Nothing has gone right.

Foden just took a wrecking ball to my rank

Doku looks off

Finally a ref not listening to VAR (Brentford game).

If he were to leave would rather he go to PSG than Man City.

I would be GUTTED to see him go to City. Do they even need him? Am not sure where he would fit in..just be pure greed.

Only at left back as Trippier, Livramento, Burn, Taggert and Hall weren't available to play there.

Just beggars belief that through all that Dummett still manages to find his way onto the pitch.

Performances like today just make me even more convinced he is off in the summer.  He looked like a man on a mission today.

I know what you mean but I only have that rage when it's an injustice, when we've been robbed or cheated out of a result. Like a bent ref or a bullshit offside or whatever. Tonight wasn't about any injustice at all, we simply didn't finish them off when we had the chances too and we ended up paying the price and throwing 2 points away because of some shit defending. We got exactly what we deserved, we had several chance and took only 1, they had a few chances and took a golden one handed on a plate

I feel the past came to haunt us today in the form of Dummett.  I am frustrated by the mountain of injuries that meant he had to step onto the pitch and gift Everton some undeserved points.

Was a class above today - him and Isak stood out by a country mile.

He's been excellent since we signed him. I'm going to be fucking gutted when he leaves tbh

Today was one of his best games in a while.  Was just outstanding.

Even taking away the foul, every time he got the ball, his first instinct was pass inside to the LCB. Again, he's done that all of his career. 

It brought back horrible memories.  I forgot what a frustrating player he is to watch.

Genuinely looked like a Sunday league player. 

Always has done tbf.  He's Ashley to thank for having a career in the Premier League.

He just looks a player totally lacking any confidence.

Not sure how I feel about him still. His physicality is good and he is decent at driving with the ball at times, but I feel like he doesn't take the game by the scruff of the neck enough and doesn't really take as many risks as you'd want in the final third, both on and off the ball. 

 

I thought we looked more disjointed when he went off like, having said that.  

He was always after the ball in the 1st half - he made some good runs as well.  Just looked spent in the second. Clearly not match fit yet.

Won't have played with VAR very often but he's got away with they sort of thing most of his career.

Thought it was generous to Howe to say it was a 50:50 - more like 90:10.  Absolutely idiotic thing to do.

Barnes - Isak looks to be a great partnership

Feel a bit for him, but that cameo was a snapshot of the Dummett I've viewed for 12 years. Awful, awful footballer who's stolen a living at this level.

If ever that was a reminder of how bad things were it is Dummett.

I thought he was really good for 60-70

minutes or so. But then faded out of the game, the same as Isak. But we did struggle to build any meaningful attacks towards the end of the second half.  

Absolutely skinned Tarkowski to put it on a plate for Isak.  He should have scored - giving Barnes two assists.
