Watching the Brighton v City game and Cole Palmer is so impressive! Plays left wing and he’s 21 - not yet a first team regular, so time to move on?

Look at what we have with Trippier on the other side. Now imagine that on the left as well. Once we have a mobile, technically-gifted left back with pace we'll realise how limited we've been with Burn playing there. All credit to him for what he's done but I want a proper modern full back doing proper modern full back things, not a CB filling in

I'm sure the neglect will come across loud and clear but Ashley made the new owners sign an agreement that they wouldn't criticise him/his reign

There still seems to be quite a lot of value in the French market. It's when they leave France, have one good season in Germany, Holland, Italy or Spain that their pricetag rockets.

They'll have to edit out any criticism of Ashley and his poundshop approach, which is a shame really. Hopefully they'll be able to allude to it without incurring legal action from the fat prick

Also fits into the Will Grigg song - Isak's on fire.............

Perfect time to bring ASM on. No time to waste!

When were Everton successful though? Certainly not in the modern era. 80s was it? 40 years ago, and what since? That's not to say we've had success but we have contributed to the league significantly. We've impacted title races and European competition etc. They need to go down, have a reset and come back as something other than a place filler

In all the time i've been watching the Premier League, Everton have never done or been anything other than a team that exists. Rooney was a very brief highlight and the team that contained Peinnar and Cahill was good to watch but that's it, in what, 30 years. Even when we were shit there was always chaos, entertainment, players who did some thing a little different, mental decisions that were gut wrenching to see as a fan, but at least they provided entertainment for the league and other supporters. Everton are just a dull nothing team that never do anything. I would love to see them go down just so another team has the opportunity to actually make some sort of impact.

Whoever suggested Bamford needs to get in the sea. He's absolutely fucking terrible. He's a 1 in 8/9 Championship striker at best. That team under Bielsa created so many chances that it masked Bamford's wastefulness. Leeds would probably be staying up this season if Bamford hadn't fluffed so many guilt edge chances.

This guy man! Absolute hero!

Mental! Thank God football expert and all round in-depth analyst Clinton Morrison was there to pick it apart for us. Such incredible insight!

They’ve only spent a billions pounds. I’d take second place

Yeah, that!

Thought he was gonna kill Caciedo at that set piece.

Never gonna beat Dan Burn, he’s from Blythe!

If he had a bit more composure he’d be a £60-70m player.

I’m going to take back what I said earlier about Burn, he’s played an absolute blinder tonight

I was properly welling up as well. Thought I was just being soft but good to hear I’m not alone. What a moment!

Is ASM still alive? Have I missed something?

Dan Burn finally getting on the end of set piece!!! And scoring!!! What a time to finally play to your strength big lad!

What is he seeing in Burn that we’re not? Fair enough to leave him in when we were winning every game but we’re not now and Burn is playing shit

And also a bit non league

I know it won't happen but Burn benched, Targett in and ASM starting would give me more confidence. I doubt he'll drop Burn against his old side though

Inevitable that fat mess was going to get something today. I actually felt like we were going to lose today before the game, but I put money on 2-2. I’d have taken a draw before the game so fair fucks. We just played them at exactly the wrong time
