Works his socks off, but is no where near premier league quality. Unfortunately.

Rice would immediately and significantly improve the team. For me, if we could only make one January signing, it should be him.

Just the Animals and Sam Fender left to go!

Master tactician Southgate sees Jordan Henderson as the saviour. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Right royal balls up by Benitez selling Toney........

All over. Pens.

3 minutes extra time.

I've said it before, but I'd keep him, he's a good squad member. With his pace he offers something different, especially coming off the bench when teams are pressing us and we need an outlet, or when we just need a tactical change. And, totally irrelevant, but he's a toon supporter and he seems like a decent lad.

Accurate crossing with his right foot, who would have thought. Goes back to an earlier comment I made after the Bournemouth game, why doesn't Howe switch wingers, Fraser to right and Almiron to left, if things aren't going to plan?

I still fully support Howe, but, why can't he switch the wingers during the game when things are not quite working out, even for 10 or 15 mins? A basic tactical change that he never seems to try?

There is a player in there somewhere, but he is a coward, he doesn't even try to win a 70/30 tackle in his favour. If he stops ducking out of tackles he'd be 100% more effective.

His work permit is probably through, we are just keeping Liverpool guessing as to what team we put out.

Tielemans, no thanks. Decent footballer, but he's so slow. We need someone with athletisism to complement Bruno.

Wliilock's soft as shite, no heart whatsoever. He could be half decent, but he never will be. Get Anderson on. Longstaff. pure average. We desperately need at least one quality midfielder.

Darlow would be fine on the bench, imo he's nowhere near as bad as some would have him. Just like Dubravka imo is nowhere near as good as some would have him.

Can someone explain to me the significance as to why some words are written in a mixture of lower and upper case? I've seen it in a number of posts and I know not why.

Dubravka keeping up his record of never saving a one on one.

Excellent player, he'd be a great signing.

Marc Cucurella would be my choice.

If we sign him I hope my memory is wrong, but I recollect him being pants when he replaced de Gea for that spell.

Managers spitting, there's just no need. Wonder if they walk round the town with their wives, spitting as they go. Don't understand it at all and seems to have just started in the last few seasons.

Definitely a useful squad player, we wouldn't have gone 1-0 up against the run of play if it had not been for him and his pace.

Good performance today. Underrated by many. Solid squad player.

I now, I know, early days, but he didn't look very athletic to me, which is bit worrying? (Ducks for cover.)

0-2. Everton will be too strong in attack for us. We're are going down, too many key positions still need a serious upgrade to stay up (striker, centre midfield and centre back) and now it's too late. Ashley + Bruced, no new manager bounce and an average transfer window. Championship winners next year, no doubt, but a year wasted. Just how I see it and I hope I am completely wrong.
