Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season

[Walken]

If Thiago can be described as an 'intelligent' defender, I wonder what adjective can be best used to describe our lovable Keane?

Vacant?

 

[Tommy Chong]

Cracking game this.

The frustration with Everton is when we win the ball against better teams we haven't got a clue what to do with it in the final third.
I appreciate that these are better players but look at Brighton , even Brentford , with proper coaching we could be so much more of a threat.

2-1! Cracking finish from Rice.

 

[jazzy]

That is brilliant by Rice

That is the level that Onana needs to aspire to

Indeed. We rarely looked like scoring today, yet as you allude to I think that's part of how we set up. We were playing to disrupt and frustrate the RS.

Simply put, we played 75/25 for a draw or snatch a result, and to be fair it nearly worked. We need to get the boys up front being far more clinical.

When Dom came off and Beto came on, our chances of scoring plummeted further.

 

[Billy Dean]

That’s why RDZ dropped Sanchez probably

Neither of the keepers in this game convince me: how Sanchez and Raya have got to first choice at either club baffles me, as they aren't stellar.

The worry is that when we committed men forward we looked at our weakest with the RS breaking on us
Dyche just can't seem to get the balance right

Brilliant technique wasn't it.

Yep should have been 1 up in the 1st minute.
Fabulous chance for DCL

 

[Tommy Chong]

2-2! Lovely goal again...

 

[PhilM]

Wowzers. Like wow, wow, wow. Arsenal were out of this, but now I'm thinking it'll end 4-2 to the Gooners.

 

[jazzy]

Terrible yet again by Sanchez

Twas' a superb ball by McNeil to be fair. I thought he was unlucky as their defender didn't let him get his head to put the direction on it.

 

[PhilM]

Terrible yet again by Sanchez

Why the fluff is he so far off his line yet not coming for the ball? It's like he is so uncomfortable committing, and his footwork to back-peddle is atrocious.

Look at his right foot - it's behind the line. That is quite simply a huge no-no as a keeper.

 

[Goat]

Crikey.
