Not a fan of his, so fine by me. It'll be very interesting to see what style of football he gets Everton playing...

All at Wembley, 3 wins, 1 draw, a net busting tally of 4 goals and non conceded, beating Germany in a knock out comp for the 1st time in 55 years, quarter finals, gong already in the pocket after a mighty world cup showing, surely now, arise Sir G Southgate. Another shockingly tedious display, but at least we're still in the competition.

Got the best attacking squad in years and an absolutely dog sh1t defensive manager. So bloody negative, like we're sh1t scared of them.

I'm in the minority, but I think he's the most overrated player we've got. Just an average keeper, good at some things and poor in others. Can't recollect him ever being linked with a top club in all the time we've had him, which says something?

We've got the players, it's Southgate, he is useless. Team selections, tactics, substitutions all absolutely crazy. Same as the last World Cup, we should have got to the final (we will never get it as easy again) and he comes home to a ridiulous fanfare and he gets a gong. Unbelievable.

Obviously, I'm in the minority but I didn't want to see Benitez back - he doesn't play the type of football I like, he also bailed out when the majority of fans wanted (begged) him to stay. Easy to blame Ashley etc. for him leaving, but I think the money (greed) was the main factor. If he goes to Everton I'll be very interested to see what style of football he adopts there - maybe he'll prove me wrong and they'll play great to watch football and I'll end up eating my words? Anyway, roll on the takeover asap and Bruce getting sacked...

He's a waste of a squad place. He needs to be sold (given away), out on loan, contract terminated or if the worse comes to the worse, just not given a squad place like Colback, Saviet etc.

Another very good game. It would be criminal if he didn't get a new contract.

Dubravaka's been absolutely shite. Stood on his line for the whole game. Kicking worse than a Sunday keeper. Handling of the ball bouncing everywhere. And the goal. Shite.

To answer the comments aimed at me by the Dubrava fans that have commented to my earlier post, my view as already mentioned, is that they are both very similar in terms of strengths and weaknesses. Neither can kick or dominate their area and they both like to stay on the line more than they should, especially from corners. They are both good at shot stopping and reaction saves but, for me, Darlow is better in one-on-one situations. So, it's a very close call, but I just prefer Darlow. The game is all about opinions and it would be a poorer place without them.

I agree with The Mag, I think he's okay but very overrated on this forum imho. He, doesn't dominate his area and his kicking has always been woeful. I know I'm probably in the minority, but I prefer Darlow although there's not much between them, they both have similar strengths and weaknesses.

Hendrick FFS. Longstaff or Murphy should be on before him. In fact Darlow before him.

Can't stand G Hoddle and A Smith. Rest are tolerable.

Willock, completely forgot he was on the pitch. Borrowed Hendrick's invisble shirt.

Agreed, I'm in the unpopular camp with you.

Hendrick keeps his place. FFS. :'(

Bruce can f*** right off if he's dropped Darlow.

Good performance. No better than Darlow. Spends too much time rooted to his line to make him exceptional.

Seeing as you're correcting grammar at the moment. There is no need for that. Damn, that went right over your head didn’t it. Go back and read the few posts before it. Oops I'll get my coat.

Just witnessed the best midfield performance I've seen this season. John McGinn, outstanding. Everything our midfielders aren't.

Darlow better than Dubravka for me.

Not a penalty imo and definitely a perfectly good goal. Referees and VAR, I give up.

I think I need to adjust me set. He's slow, doesn't tackle and can't pass a ball other than a simple 5 yarder. A shortstaff version of longstaff. It’s his first game of the season you moron , he’s doing ok as others have said ffs. Moron because I have a different view lol. He runs about and that's about it.
