….definitely filled up when speaking about leaving City. Saying that, a £50m buy clause means he’ll be back there next season.

£50m in his last year at Citeh won't happen

i this summer was really glad we are not wasting money on players.

After this game now I am demanding that the transfer committee activate the 50 mill to buy Jack regardless of him being 30 this season

Hes really only 28... hasnt kicked a ball the last two years:)

Ok last thing...it was so nice watching pretty little triangles on the left between Grealish, KDH and Gana...also really enjoyed the energy and Alcaraz gave us coming off the bench, Beto was trying too. We actually have good options on the bench, at front at least

You watched a different Beto than me, strolled around. More than once their CB took it out of defense deep into midfield unchallenged.

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

In a shocking twist of events I'm actually going to defend him - he said pre match we'd win.

I disagree with vast majority of what he says but he was more confident in todays result than I was, put it that way.

poll vote is very telling, only two players have double figures (or more) votes.

encouraging.

Grealish is a class above. Creates chances and defends so well. A shame Aznou is injured - I would have liked to see them 2 link up.

We are shaky in centre mid and defence. Tim is not in the answer but I imagine Moyes is playing him over say Alcaraz to have height in midfield.

I’m fully expecting us to bring 1-2 in central midfield. For defence, Juanlu and Ake would do for me.

2-0 or 3-0 for Everton tomorrow.

I'm sure it'll go well. Very well.

We were lucky today, we showed bits of quality, but were there to be beaten. It could and probably should have been a very different tale at half time.
Brighton will stuff a few sides this season,it's a shame for them they don't have a bigger ground and support because with a couple of good additions they'd be pushing top 4.

I'll take a bit of luck for a change. And even then I'd question that when we've having none when it comes to penalties.

 

[maccavennie]

Pickford motm for the save 1st half and pen save

Closely followed by Grealish who i think made his 1st misplaced pass in the 81st minute.

Referee absolute piss take on that pen. The game is completely bent.

I wait to see if we get another strange hand ball penalty against us next week. I reckon Moyes flags today and leeds up with his aftermatch.

 

[salmon fingers]

James Garner the new Alan Harper?
I hope so

 

[WA Toffee]

The penalty though...turns his head throws his body at the ball and another penalty...wtf match officialls...

I have no complaints this time, that was a penalty

 

[heatmeiser]

….Grealish with a talisman performance, but I’m controversially going for Gueye MoM, I thought he was outstanding.

You really don't like Grealish do you nice to see you acknowledge a good performance though. Hopefully he wins you over as the weeks progress.

Agree Gueye was very good but had to go Jack simply because he made us score the goals

 

[davek]

I apologise. I bow to your superior prediction skills.

I accept your apology.

In fairness I though Keane was excellent too, just a bit below Pickford and Grealish
