Would be intrigued to know what our starting 11 cost, vs Liverpool's...

Do you not think part of the reason why we deploy the style of football we have, is the lack of attacking options? We'd scored the least in the league prior to Dyche coming - and so it's not a new thing. If we're expansive, the lack of pace in the team kills us. We pushed high against Chelsea...

How are you all doing so far? +5 on what I thought!

Do you think he'd even heard of Chermiti? We were trying to sign Gnonto/Gyokeres but we didn't have a pot to piss in. Would we have been happy with them? He'll have involvement but it's the DOF who is ultimately responsible.

Fear of losing/protect the point and the pressure of a relegation scrap is big. A lot of that was piled on for 4 months with a 10 point deduction - you only have to listen to Nuno/Forest cry arsing over a 4 point appeal causing chaos behind the scenes there. I think we'll see more freedom and...

I see only Man City and Chelsea had more touches in Liverpool's penalty area than Everton this season. Now we're safe, I think we'll see the whole team shift more forward for the rest of the season.

Agree 100%. But the thing is, as I've bored everyone to tears with - I think that style of contain/% football - pragmatism to find the margins to keep a team in the league is, unfortunately, what the doctor ordered. You see, if we do what Kompany is trying to do at Burnley, or what we tried...

This team is that, mate. 3 years have shown it. Make no mistake - this teams objective next season is to stay up. There's not the goals in it. Only when we improve the players in the final third do we kick on. Small margins.

No point pointing fingers at fans after a great win, or a terrible defeat. There wasn't a single blue that wasn't concerned after that awful run - but we've got to do our best to keep context. With 4 games to go - points won on the pitch; 2022/23 - 29 Points/19th 2023/24 - 41 points/14th

Played really well. His ball for the penalty that was overturned was a cracker.

A performance of a top player that.

LADS?!

Bloody hell. Can we see this out?!

Nice to get a mention here

Starting to think we'd do well to finish +9 above the drop... :oops:
