OTF

Have to think that he's earnt himself a starting spot in the final with this game.

Love Miggy. I was wondering why Trippier was making Salah look slow, then realised it was Miggy tracking back doing the hard work.

It's Everton relegated all over again isn't it.

I know I'm likely just clutching at straws here but is there any case for Pope's red being overturned? Hear me out - his first touch is a legal header and at the moment he handballs it there's two defenders of ours between their player and our goal and it's 40 yards out. Should that be considered a clear goal scoring chance? If not it's a yellow.

Ahh good, getting to hear Michael Owen dissect their goals is making this all better.

It's less height we need.

Permaban incoming Trophyshy. Edit: and to be honest with a name like that you'd best not be showing yout face around here anyway!

Howe has some job do to at half time and over the next week. It's the stuff of dreams for a guy like Eddie who strives to test himself and his men.

Redemption arc activated. And also

Aye sure feels it. With 10 it's going to be a fucking mountain to climb in the second half, and even trying to might unnecessarily burden some legs.....

Should have been on target.

Me too.

Didn't he play once for us, or was that just pre-season?

How was that not offside?

Have to expecr manure to try to do the same if we push a similarly high defensive line. That said, I can't see that having been the tactic from Eddie, more just the enthusiasm pushing forward from our defenders? We can't afford to do that with a comparatively slow defensive unit.

Better than decent, he was waiting for a.run that never came and then very nearly scored.

And somehow has happened whilst we were otherwise playing well, adefensive lapse, a defense splitting pass/run and an absolute brain snap. I suppose that's what happens when their ceiling is miles above ours.

The good news just keeps coming.

If Trippier is injured here we're properly cursed.

Tough for Anderson as well. Unforgivable from Pope, if I was trying it must have been some GK muscle memory shit going on, should have gone at it with his feet initially.

Fucking fuck sticks, this couldn't be any worse.

Fucking hell Pope.

Fuck, what is Henderson whinging about there?

That's a perfectly timed run and well weighted pass though. Sometimes you have to credit the attack. Not now though, those jammy cunts.
