Cant see anything beyond a draw at max, which will do mind - keeps the dream alive and Europa in hand. Though woudln't be surprised if this group of players and staff could pull something out of the hat. Just wish we could give a fair account of ourselves with only the sort of injuries you'd reasonably expect and not a full blown crisis.

Shit the bed man. We needed the squad to cope and recover with the fixtures, our lads giving everything every game and give a fair accurate account of ourselve, have no squad at present. Gagging for this international break now just to take stock

Might be looking at it too much but you never know with this group but for a nothing goal there's a few things possibly going on in it. They've got six back as Willock collects, more than enough, but in the end its Gordon and Jo against Gabriel and the keeper. Murphy comes back, the right thing, which creates space for a run, but also Willock could have sold a few the dummy with the way he shaped to cross and they've come and left themselves open. That defending is a disgrace, embarrassing in a supposed top league.

I'd say so. Steve McMahon wasn't at Everton when they were good. Maybe Alan Harper.

Think match cam has sneakily used angles where none of the elements questioned on the goal look questionable, for posterity. I've heard the Arsenal version is like the zoom in on the Zapruder film.

Weird. Reading that, they were the team that came to mind for me and only because of a random thing in the mid 90s, think their's was the only game on one day or something. I've already forogtten that team that beat Aberdeen last year.

The ball looked no more out than modern corners look out of the corner section on any angle. I still cant always get my mind around how they look having been so used to them being clearly within the quadrant but if someone scores from one of those corners now nobody would analyse it.

Wondered if they'd taken our win, unrelated to them, in their stride, particularly badly, or normally and see were pro Hamas and pro Nazi because we won a game of football. So just the normal reaction then.

If that was more controversial than Sheffield United's penalty then it wasn't by much but the difference in behaviour from Arseholeteta and O'Neil is worlds apart. Especially considering O'Neil had one last week, maybe he's more used to it instead of being a brat used to getting his own way. I'd probably have gave it but Joelinton is expecting a more robust challenge from the Arsenal player rather than trying to push him and angling for a Burn v PSG style towering header, which is why the flight of the ball was totally misread.

If we go down there with a fully fit squad and roll them over, I reckon between Tindall and the away fans we shatter Arteta like.

Didn't do enough really for a title contender against a bereft team - but thats not simple or sexy enough to analyse and discuss.

Don't know how we keep going with the injuries, suspensions and weak squad. To be where we now are in the league with all that considered and the champions league is wow stuff. Cant have anything left for the games ahead but they'll go again with everything.

You're not wrong. It triggers my PTSD from 95/96

Its one thing to undeservedly win - but the late winners, penalty saves feels like sheer effrontery.

Horrible b*stards. There cant have been a team play this badly in every game into November scam this many results. They've been absolutely horrible to watch, flat, disjointed yet again.

Thought that said Headstone for a second. Tease.

Something I've noticed us do quite a bit. Tonali for Bruno to cross for Burn against PSG, Wilson to buy Longstaff an extra bit of time against Palace. Its very bright. Even though they wouldn't have stopped the cross/shot coming in the fraction of a seconds difference can help with the composure and measuring of said cross/shot - such a small thing that could make all the difference.

WIsh the draws were on in the mornings again, least let us enjoy this evening.

He's got a finish on him Willock mind. Big Jo and Longy's goals are suspect at times as far as finishes go by comparison by Willock goals medley is seasoned goal-scorer stuff.

My favourite reserve match by some distance this so far

Played and organised like players and manager want the manager to leave.

Even if they rally it'll be through momentum or a rollicking not pre-planning, they've scammed by a few times with that already this season but look bad constantly.

Tee hee

Takes me back.

FFP and squad limits coming into their own here. Job done.
