Nice to see us being schooled by the worst side in Premier League history in our own back yard.

Mrs J , who in common with 95%of us on here , knows nothing about football watched 15 minutes whilst we noshed and opined "why are they letting this team in yellow shirts ( our telly must be on the blink ) have the ball all the time"

Good question.

She surpassed herself later when the commentator said Everton concede from corners ..."why when they cost so much money?"

No flies on her. Chilli was good though

9/10 times Keane sends it in to orbit...

No chance. Keane's got the light touch of Denis Law in similar situations. Pity his light touch defending has been so obvious and costly for years. Remarkable finish when the club has nearly 60m worth of Welsh league standard strikers interchanging to absolutely no effect every week

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Quick off the mark here please Everton...

 

[Sharpies volley]

Centre mid, he's playing well.

Playing well. Very one footed though. But if he turns out as good as another one footed player we had in Kevin sheedy I'll be happy.

sh underway, quick ht that.

 

[PeregrineT]

Good first half, but yeah, need a good start here and would love to ease the nerves

Midfield pressing has been much better than Sunday, although Wolves are crap

 

[when i score we riot]

Lets go no changes. Wolves are cack, lets add two more

…..sure I’m not alone in wanting another goal to feel comfortable, trouble is our main threat is from set plays.

Good to see Iroegbunam back to his imperious best, linking with Grealish but doesn’t look like he has a goal in him despite getting into promising positions. McNeil and Armstrong justifying their selections, good free kick into the box from McNeil in the lead up to Keane’s terrific finish.

I’d imagine Wolves will be happy being a goal down with 20mins to play, then they can take risks and have a go.

Need a 2nd but difficult to see where it comes from. Beto might have an impact.

Yep, set pieces. Tim, Jack, McNeil, Barry should all be working that angle.

 

[Rita_Poon]

early stoppage, i think pickford has cracked someone.

 

[BoysPenLad]

nowhere near his face

Armstrong, Garner and Tim together are a very strong unit. At least when up for it like this

 

[GoldenToffee]

Petrified of us conceding then desperately trying to claim a point. Just finish these off please.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Think of this as saving the bench for the cup tie

 

[Rita_Poon]

still treatment, so it's not a cry off injury.
