triggs

The environment was not right for them in that they were in the Premier League and now they're in the Championship

We controlled the game from start to finish and never looked in any danger of not winning it. We didn't though. They controlled the middle part of the game and missed a sitter

Armstrong isn't going to get a chance anyway. He didn't even get a minute yesterday and that was with probably our 3 most favoured strikers unavailable. I think it's a bit shit tbh that he isn't going to get a chance but I guess Rafa doesn't put much emphasis on playing younger players

Think the performance is being a bit overrated here. Really good first half an hour but from then until their guy got sent off we were pretty poor and they should've got an equaliser

Always picks the best pass

Canny save considering the conditions

Ref clearly not looking at that and gives the free kick

He's a bit all fart no shite like Lallana

Outstanding team goal

Not really, Man City were an established decent club around the top few divisions for years 8 years ago. RB Leipzig weren't a club 8 years ago

He wasn't involved in our 1st two games. We lost both. Since he came into the team we have won 4 in a row, kept 3 CS in a row, scored 9 conceded 1. WTF are you whinging about? He says, in reply to the least whinging post in the thread

I'm not going to change my opinion on players based on them being somewhat alright at a much lower level when we all know he'd still be completely shit in the Premier League

SEE HIM COME GOOD?! AFTER 3 YEARS, AT 30? He's not going to turn into anything better than what he is now - and has been for the duration of his time here - which might be generously described as a passable championship winger. Okay, don't wet your pants. A passable championship winger at a championship club in need of a winger. He hasn't really put a foot wrong this season, and COULD just be warming up. I think everybody on here knows his history at the club. Some of us are looking forward. Being an attacking player isn't about not making mistakes, it's about getting on the ball and making things happen

If Payet leaves I think there's a chance they get relegated. The rest of their team don't impress me at all

If Messi couldn't find a club we'd be talking about it for years.

Fucking Atleti

wat Dickhead

Agreed, Everton fans don't rate him at all. Ireland's CM has been a huge problem for years and this lad has been a mainstay. If he can't look like one of our best players then how good can he be? He'd just be a complete waste of a player in the Championship, never wants the ball, when he does get it he just passes it to the nearest player. Decent defensively. Only seen him play twice and obviously at a lower level but I'd prefer to play Hayden Don't see him that much for Everton but the general opinion in Ireland is that he's not that great, or a "waste of space" as Eamon Dunphy put it

If Diame performs to that level every week he looks twice the player. At a much lower level

He was good as he generally has been at right back. Much better there than midfield

Booing players is pure like

He's able to play football which I like

Knockaert did nowt today Well that isn't true

Yeah that's class. Both Real goals from Celta messing around with the ball in their own box

What a goal by Celta. Canny game this
