[Mr Happy]

….Everton 2 Brighton 0, Everton 2 Benfica 1 (Geneva Youth Cup Final), Tommy Fleetwood wins Tour Championship for his first PGA tour title

Made up for Fleetwood. Was so close the other week. Like it was meant to be yesterday.

I don't understand the lack of fans Tim Iroegbunam has ,I though he was the better player in the middle and still a kid .So I gave him MOM it was too obvious to give it to Jack ,who I think actually gets the fans ,no prima donna this guy just class .I do wonder where the place for Illi is when this lad arrives from Southampton . Alcaraz is only fit as back up and never seems interested to me , Dwight I fear may move on .

….its a difficult one, I actually thought he was poor for periods of yesterdays game, lethargic and giving the ball away and then he produces these absolutely wow moments, going past players like they’re not there.

I find it difficult to assess him. He has everything a modern player needs but struggles to consistently impact a full game. Talent, I like the side story that his parents are deaf and he grew up communicating to them with sign language.

The abuse he gets from outside of the club is laughable.

His "cheat sheet" on his bottle showed Welbeck puts them 50% either side. Yet they still banged on about him having a "advantage", using the bottle.

We love him, he loves us. That's all that matters.

I take that as a positive. If opposition fans dislike him, it's because he gets into their head - jealously per se. For me, he's been a saviour for us!

Don’t they know loads of keepers do this anyway? The England keeper in the women’s final threw away the Spain keepers bottle that had the stuff on

I meant his ability is generally downplayed and a lot of fans just dislike him, regardless of the bottle. I think it’s brilliant that they do.

Yeah, but she dosen’t play for Everton Nymz, so that is acceptable. It is only what Everton players do that excites the media into a feeding frenzy.

Just watched the first goal again. Loved how we managed to move the ball across the pitch quickly to grealish. Really good team goal when you watch it back

Thats gonna be the key for us this season - KDH sweeping it to the wide areas on the transition. Hopefully produce a lot of goals for us.

It will help playing with Michael Keane.

Is this actually even a genuine thing that people are annoyed about?

No posts from @davek since it went 2-0 what a child.

He's busy thinking of his next angle to throw shade on the club. He pretty quickly pivoted to asserting it would be a disaster if we don't sign another 5 players.

Still can't believe the two penalties we've had against us though, none of the scab 6 would have them given against them. Thought the proximity of the ball being blasted at you comes into effect with his hands being close to his body or is it just a rule for us that you're not allowed to lean in or block a shot now?

Who's banged on about him using a bottle? Haven't heard anyone. It said dive left above the 50/50 so he must have already made his mind up which surprised me. I would have thought they'd get clues from players run up. Maybe not. He's ace regardless
