GOAL

5 loses in a row. Rafa = Pardew levels of incompetence. U2 = Trump levels of weapons-grade miserable horse s***. f*** off. God I hate Bono

Yeah, important game this. Just win ffs.

WTF I've just moved to Brixton, f*** off Mike. When he kicks on your front door, how you gonna come? With your hands on your head or on the trigger of your gun? I cannot read this in any other way than one big euphemism. Bet you feel like Ivan

Confidence and narcissism are two different things.

Yep. I don't really care about starting elevens anymore. Sure, I have opinions but at the end of the day, I trust Rafa.

Welcome to N-O

I wouldn't. He's a good finisher but he disappears if he isn't given decent service. We can't afford any passengers at the minute and he doesn't do enough work or have the hold-up play for a team that's struggling. I remember Cisse was often a passenger towards the end of his time here for similar reasons, with games just passing him by. Sure you can blame the service, but we need someone who can make the ball stick up front and relieve some pressure, and/or chase down defenders and defend from the front. I'd go with Mitro and Perez, back to the 4231 that was getting us results. If you have no attacking quality, all you can do is make yourself hard to beat and hope you can nick enough games 1-0 to keep your head above water. Shelvey and Merino are capable of feeding him with through balls and he's more likely to score than any of our other forwards.

Win. I'd start with Gayle.

When did Rafa lose 4 in a row?

2 games in a row without scoring is always concerning.

Great start

That's a strange approach, I must say.

Hopefully they'll chop Ashley's head off at Eldon Square.

Really?

Ayoze's development curve doesn't look good. It's a mystery really.

Nothing we didn't know before - we're desperately lacking in the final third. Pretty solid defensively, Shelvey is important with his passing range, Atsu looked lively.

Swansea or Stoke perhaps

We deserve it, after years of absolute shite.

I don't see it tbh. His Anfield bond, he loves it here and is really building something, takeover underway, Everton are struggling...

No way he'll leave a Europa League giant for a relegation battle.

Cabaye, the little twat. Should've been sent off.
