These pundits hate us. It’s all “Newcastle were tired and off it” not that we were just better.

Always the same with everton we never win the opponents away lose.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Bring on Chelsea. We will beat them if we keep playing like we have lately

Not one player didn't turn up tonight

Agree with that. They all looked properly fired up and got stuck in from the off. If DCL had caught that volley right rather than snatching at it too early it would have been a perfect game. Sure it won't affect him though. He's a confident lad. Coleman back (for a while), Young playing competently, Harrison and McNeill with energy and looking dangerous, Tarks, Jarrad and Myko looking tough as nails, Beto getting a good goal, Pickford having fun, Doucs being in the right place at the right time again and Gana - after a worrying first half hour - showing a bit more discipline. All this without the player we were all raving about last game and Onana. Gotta be happy tonight.

Up the xG blues

Going to be a lot of matches like that this season. Before xG was a thing, I always looked at shots on target. If you're getting plenty of those, you'll be OK.

Everton, we never shone so brightly!

Eddie howe crying all the way to the Turkish embassy

He’s gone very cocky. To me he’s like the bowl head zit face in school standing behind the bully acting hard. Needs volleying up the arse imo.

Very difficult choice. I went for Branthwaite as he was authoritative tonight and gave his all.

I just hope we can hang on to him. He could command a very high fee.

 

[Street end man]

I can’t believe Dyche basically just told the world Garner had two bouts of the sh*ts.

He'll not pull a bird for a while now then

 

[Muggins]

THAT WAS UNREAL.

 

[leslad]

I still think we're lacking in quality in many areas of the pitch but there's a definite "more than the sum of its parts" this season. So much more bravery - not just in tackles and blocks, but being brave to win the ball high up the pitch and being brave to get in the box to stick one in the back of the net.

There's an "everyone's a leader" mentality this season I think

Fantastic performance again, and silencing the Geordie whoppers is always beautiful

All 3 goals were superb, from Dom freeing up space for Dwight to let fly to Harrison bullying Trippier to set up Doucs to Big Beto charging like a bull to meg Dubravka

How crap was that ref btw
