Hope Isak is ok. Looks like Gordon up front.

Bruno and Isak both down.......

Brilliant from Joe that. Get in!

Well that was shite but we're in the game because City have been pretty gland in the final third. What a waste of a finish from Murphy from the best chance of the game. Didn't seem confident at all and seemed like a half hearted attempt.

ESPN with a timely reminder that we should be facing Fulham today if not for the blunder during the draw

MF t Clutching at sausages here

Next to Targett, baptism of fire for Livramento here.

Holy crap that defence Eddie pointing a 100 ft flashing neon sign on the area of the squad needing stregthening now.

Right then. I'm of the view we need to rotate and prioritize the league and PSG next week. Isak, Tonali, Murphy are the easy ones to bring in. Perhaps Tino and Hall too, even Miley? The CBs should probably get a rest too but that's where it gets tricky as we know who's waiting in the wings Surely Lascelles has to come in at some point though, no way Schar and Botman keep playing 3 games a week regularly.

Aye tons of reaction about feeling sorry or sympathetic for Sheffield Utd players? Why ffs? Rich men just got promoted to playing in the best league in the world and put in a half arsed performance in front of their home crowd. Yeah THAT is what needs sympathy these days. They got absolutely what they deserved.

Cant see it either but if that's the Icardi 'penalty' its certainly worth a look

But his role and place has been questioned lately. Which makes sense in the way that we haven't clicked with him and Bruno together. It's something that needs time though as Howe has been saying, roles will evolve.

Agree with the point but still feed a quite disappointed about the injury. I think he was very good and very underrated last season, got the ability to make things happen and provide quality in the final third, offers something different to our other wingers. Might have been very handy in the cup games too. But yeah, better this position than others. Still cant help but be amazed we're one CB injury away from starting Lascelles, surely this will be addressed in January?

Well his attributes were there to see clearly in his short Everton days. It's no surprise Eddie pushed for him and Chelsea etc wanted him too. Wingers that are direct and can take on and get past people are rare these days (see Antony ). He was only going to get better with time, still very young. Most of us on here (one exception of course) were quite happy with the signing and if there was any reservation it was that he can be a bit of a prick. A lot of the Twitter/social media experts though let themselves be deceived by views of bitter Everton fans and the difficult start he had last year. The quality of sigings and the impact almost every single player has had under the new regime has been nothing short of remarkable. Even Targett and Wood served their purpose. This has to be remembered when we think about Tonali, might not be the missing piece in the puzzle right now but he will come good.

I think we might have scored more goals on Sunday than Chelsea in 2023.

The one from Sunday was nailed on man, the defender lashed out with this foot and made clear contact. The useless ref completely botched it.

Mbappe doesn't fancy going up against Big Dan Burn

Still seething at the ref for that blatant penalty call he'll get away with it now

Brilliant performance and brilliant week. Eddie and the boys showing again they can bounce back from difficult times

Could seriously be record territory here. Let's keep going lad. Isak next

Somebody check on PL

Eddie taking the piss with those changes

This is disgraceful from Sheffield mind, can anyone remember such a poor opposition?

Even Miggy scores!
