I thought exactly the same thing.

They're going to happen, every player will make mistakes. Grealish gave the ball away cheaply in our own defensive third today, for example, and only Villa's profligacy meant we didn't concede. Should Grealish be forever in purgatory or should he have been if Villa took advantage? Of course not...

I know. I said in another thread that it's a tricky situation, we can't afford a top, top striker, so we have to try and develop someone. I'm guessing that someone is Barry but I'm also guessing that he isn't impressing in training as he's not getting on the pitch much.

I am no fan of Keane (understatement!) but he was very good today. I also thought Tarkowski looked a lot better today, too.

It's hard to dislike the lad but he didn't have a good game today. A better striker and we win that game comfortably.

It's a shame because Beto had a couple of decent chances and a couple of half chances. If we had a top striker we would have won that match today. It's tough though because strikers have such a premium on them now, look at how much Isaak and Gyokeres went for this summer, that I feel like we...

The problem with an all-time 11 is that, inevitably you are going to have to consider putting in players you have never seen play. For example, none of us have seen Dixie Dean play. Ok, maybe @Eggs and @Joey66 (sorry lads, couldn't resist!). Also, comparing players of different generations is...

I'm going to guess that Andy is a vicar's son from Berkshire and has absolutely no idea about the history of Everton, the RS or Anfield. He does however treat his girlfriend to a visit to see Liverpool once a season and books a hotel in Chester because Liverpool is a bit too "urban" for him.

I know, I was serious but I know it's not a realistic aspiration! It's interesting how things have changed around with players of less successful nations. In the nineties there was a real problem getting players who were capped by nations with little chance of international success to turn out...

Good listen that. I know Dave hates him, but Dave hates everything and everyone so I suppose that's no qualifier, but I'm really glad that Meis designed the stadium. I like how thoughtful and invested he is in the building as not just a structure but as a community asset and as a social space. I...

I think it's incredibly difficult for goalkeepers in the youth set ups as they seem to mature later. There aren't too many top level teenage goalkeepers that I can recall, for example. I'm sure part of that is that only one keeper can play in a match and it's not like you can play in another...

It is very odd. To be honest, I assumed we would sell him. He's been out on loan three times, he's 23 (I accept that is still young for a keeper but not crazy young) and is out of contract next summer. Not really sure what our plan is for the lad. I'm not sure a year in the age groups leagues is...

I bet you that YouTube blert IShowSpeed is fitter and faster than Seamus Coleman. What does that prove? Should we give him a playing contract as well? At some point we're going to have to move on from the Seamus Coleman playing era. He's played 20 times total for us in two and a bit years and...

It seems to work both ways. If you're not sufficiently enamoured with the club you are a RS with one faction and if you are relaxed about everything then you are a "club plant" with another faction. That's the internet, I suppose.

What I find incredible is that people don't just ask Guardiola, politely, to stand back six inches (or 15 cm) and to kindly refrain from touching them, they all just let him do it and look really uncomfortable. I couldn't be doing with living in a latin country with all of the gesticulating and...
