Steele is so confident playing it out. Mad to think he's become this great sweeper keeper

Ten Hag is genuinely rubbish

1-1

Leicester often played the same shape as us though and he was quite capable as a number 8 type. Unless his move to Spurs was specifically to do with promises about playing as a 10

Reminds me of that Leicester away game in Bruce's first season. Some low.

Absolutely baffling Joelinton is still out there. Not exactly a show of confidence for Anderson is it

Pathetic press

The CL games are going to be absolutely brutal

Genuinely think after the intl break it might be worth going back to what worked last season. Joelinton on the left, Longstaff-Bruno-Willock in the middle. Balance has gone

We look rank

Pickford

Lloris is absolutely shit these days

It's also exactly how the squad was depicted on the transfer targets slide in the documentary. Burn gets moved over, Targett comes in. As I said on the previous page, it's the same trio that played together every week during the second half of 2022. It's much less disruptive and much more intuitive than bringing in Lascelles and forcing either him or Schar onto their wrong side.

I'd be incredibly surprised if he does that because it will mean putting either Schar or Lascelles on the wrong side. Much more natural to just bring Burn in as a natural LCB and pick between Targett and Hall (probably the former) as the LB, especially given those three played together for about five months straight in 2022.

Think Wilson and Murphy will come in. If you simply refuse to be baited into their press they're quite easy to exploit. But I think Eddie will want to make a point after last week and we'll try to play quite intensely. Can see another defeat unfortunately.

You lads excited for match cam?

We had chances but that was largely terrible. Subs were atrocious. Bruno was shocking again. Really disappointed in Barnes so far tbh.

God I wish. Can we give these cunts to Ireland?

Isn't it because Arteta's copying Pep and doing the full backs as inverted midfielders thing? All about flooding the middle of the pitch

Can't believe how bad Mudryk is

What a daft cunt

Please be the season Everton are flushed away

They're nowhere near as well equipped to play through our press as City if we're on our game. We're due some VAR fuckery though.

Think Longstaff's technical deficiencies were super obvious when he came on. Just not quick enough in the feet against this level of opposition at all
