Today's Football 2018-19 Season

He's their first choice keeper and the most expensive keeper in the world and you can't understand him being extremely pissed off at being substituted right before a penalty shoot out? Yes he went over the top and he definitely should have gone off (as I made clear in my original post) but any player in that position that doesn't get extremely pissed off shouldn't be playing for a top team in a cup final. He showed passion, the kind of passion I'd love to see in the Everton players.

I'm sure you would be over the moon if Pickford behaved like Kepa and lost us a trophy, yes?

If Pickford ever did what Kepa did, I think @davek 's head would explode lol

Take it back a step: Pickford not coming off the pitch isn't the issue; Pickford taking to the pitch in the first place is the issue.

Garth Crooks' team of the week: Alisson, Pogba, Sterling, Zaha

Which player is so hot, he's steaming? And who had a moment of sheer brilliance? Garth Crooks has the answers in his team of the week.

Guess I’m not the only one then

Pogba was great I thought yesterday. But you know...people.

Bayern do similar , German clubs know what’s going on. They’re fleecing the TV deals and sponsorships and making sure the fans are looked after

English clubs take the mick, a lot of it is because of the foreign fans. Everton are one of the better clubs tbf with ticket prices.

Harsh that...

They don't sell them to Bayern... They give them free

Well so far your character is getting beat by Liverpools luck, and today showed that again.... Hopefully that changes soon, but think ye will drop points again in Fernandinho absence

I don't think he's expected to be out for that long, he was wandering around after the match and didn't seem to be impeded at all. He'll be a big loss obviously but my point is it's better it happened now than that week against Arsenal/Everton/Chelsea for example.

I don't really see City as that much of a one man team either. If we can't beat West Ham or Bournemouth without Fernandinho might as well give up!

You wouldn't say that if Martinez had signed him.

The thing is though, charging their fans Premier League prices wouldn´t change that. Like if we charged our fans 50 quid a game, it wouldn´t be enough to buy Sigurdsson.

Hmmmm, having confidence in your team.... what does that feel like?...

German clubs dont lob insane transfer fees around though. They develop their own, or at least they did until England started to do it with our kids. Now they like to buy them.

RBL vs Hoffenheim on record for me tonight whilst I'm at football. Should be a cracking game!

Line-up is listed as the usual 4-2-2-2 but I suspect there's a chance it'll actually be a back 3 with Ilsanker dropping in between the centre halves.
