Ok

It was Gold label popcorn, the kind for a special occasion, like a verbal punch up. Which reminds me, my kettle has clicked and is ready to pour over my Gold label tea hahaha

I'm confused. is that a direct quote from Steve or Ironherb

Lukerz

I’d be worried for Everton. The feeling is that was a marked improvement & they deserved a point. I thought they were awful & didn’t get to a stage where they left everything they had on the pitch. They went out with a whimper after being 2-1 down. Very worried for them. I think Watford will pick up under Roy the longer the season goes on (historically that’s what happens with Roy managed teams) & Burnley are always likely to scrap points.

IronHerb

I agree. We never got out of second gear and never felt troubled by them.

They may have bigger issues to deal with?

Genuinely hope they go down. They've been in the top flight so long and could do with a taste of the Champo!

Jeez, just read a Daily Mail article.😡
That’s another shower then.

Everton will certainly have problems up at Turf Moor tomorrow night

Allan and Keane suspended
Gomes, Patterson and van de Beek added to the injury list
Coleman doubtful due to illness

Dyche must fancy his chances

I've been a Fredericks critic, but he was probably the only player who could have kept up with Richarlison and made those saving tackles. Fair play to him, he didn't give up after any mistake (like Everton mostly did)

Lukerz

Yeah I thought the second tackle was a penalty though

I do agree with this. His recovery was superb, no denying it. I think my point is that the recovery was only needed as he made a mistake.

IronHerb

Funny that Fab made a whopper leading to their goal but barely, if at all, got a mention. Fredericks made a mistake, made up for it, and we didn't concede a goal and yet had a poor game. 🤷‍♂️

Hamstew

I thought it was the other way around. Fredericks made some mistakes and managed to rectify most of them but was tipped for man of the match.

Brother_Sledge

I thought Fredericks had a decent game overall, I think he has the ability to offer more in attack than Coufal or Johnson, although in this game he seemed to lack the confidence or licence to get forward too often. I wouldn't blame Fab too much for the goal as Iwobi was backing into him as he punched it. Rice gave the ball away under pressure prior to DCL hitting the woodwork. Mistakes happen.

OldCastleSwift

Defensively, Johnson is one of the best in the league. What we really want is for him to have Fredericks' pace and Coufal's effectiveness in the final third.

Between the three of them, we have a top class modern-day right back.

Yep Johnson just needs to sort out his end product.

The lad can finish; his goals against Brighton and Villa have shown that, but his crossing and general decision making in the final third needs some work.

So, Fredericks' legs, Johnson's body and Coufal's head??

Add in Cresswells delivery and you have the perfect full back. Coufal's forward facing intent is brilliant but the final delivery can often be less so.

Ah, got the right quote this time. Should be running VAR, me...
