Yes, they do seem to hate us and the ignorant comment about the siren being a burglar alarm sums them up.

Bloody hell.

Bloody. Hell.

Garner at RB going forward…. Simples

 

[Drago]

Wharton was the best player on the pitch, we desperately need a central midfielder like him.

Fair play to Moyes for swapping things up at half time and pushing them on second half, but I really hope this is the end of his weird dislike of Alcaraz.

Alcaraz always uses the ball well, does things quickly and looks for 1-2s . If we are relying on a player like Beto or Barry, they will look better by having a player like that behind them. He speeds up and improves our play so much. He was a difference maker last season, and still has been when given a chance this season.

He has looked very sharp not sure why Moyes has a downer on him.

That felt like a goodison game. Team booed off at half time then they battled back in the second half and the crowd got behind them. Was really loud at the end and lots of people stayed behind after the final whistle to sing spirit of the blues.

The Charly sub changed the game. He has to start next week. I don’t think it is effective to play three low-socked dribblers behind the striker. Reminds me of when Koeman tried to play three 10s. Too one-paced and predictable. Charly offers something different and can open things up with his passing.

He left months ago

Ah, I thought he only left on paper to try and get back on side with UEFA

The world smiling on the blues. It is quite disturbing how the result of Everton’s game governs how much you enjoy your weekend.

Need consistency from Tim to make this work. Garner is probably the best RB at the club (which is horrendous in and of itself), but what we lose in midfield when he’s not there is very noticeable.

We’re banking on any one of; KDH moving deeper, Rohl staying fit or Tim keeping the level he showed today.

RB in Jan has to be on the cards regardless

Alcaraz literally singlehandedly altered the entire dynamic of our team,energy,dynamism,hunger,desire and no little skill,hope Moyes noted it all,the lad appeared to be the fall guy for the Wolves game when they all were in fact diabolical!!!

Wharton was the best player on the pitch, we desperately need a central midfielder like him.

He was but it probably helped that we decided he could use ten yards of space

I tell you what though: our distribution of the ball is shockingly bad.

You compare us with almost any other team and they are far more efficient moving the ball around.

I'm shocked when we put a move together - it's that unusual.

If we maintain good form and stay top 10, we might be enough of a draw to snatch a RB. Winning changes everything.

Also seen a lot of them claiming the ref was terrible (fair) and massively biased against them (hilarious)

Football fans are all complete loons.

And it wasn't a pen apparently.
