I agree with this, they were pretty line ball and you could make cases in both favours for each. Haaland doesn't need to make that much contact to get to the ball I don't think and that's why they allowed it, but seriously if you use that as a precedent for what is allowed without a foul being called then there's a role for judo masters in the game. If I was a Brighton player I'd have been very tempted to throw down a Man City player in a 50/50 somewhere in the middle of the pitch just to question the ref as to why that was a free kick and Haaland's wasn't. But then I'm a churlish and petulant bastard.

I thought Sir Elton supported Watford not Leeds?

CN's best ever tweet.

Burn is actually a pretty solid left back, but physics dictates that someone that big is not going to have the agility of all of the wingers he will come up against. Although Murphy does plenty of running he's too lightweight and indecisive to be effective defensively so together I think they're a slight defensive weakness. That has to be weighed against the benefit of having Burn out there for set pieces, both defending them and having them ourselves. At the moment you can't really argue with the results given we lead the league in fewest goals and most clean sheets, but there has been a good few times where we've ridden our luck down our left. At some point if Burn is shown up and we concede then it will open up for Targett to return as I think Eddie has full confidence in him also.

I agree, we didn't have a great deal of urgency in the second half to score, almost like we were so confident in their inability to score (or our ability to defend them) that we were largely just going through the motions.

Is that a steward there asking to see his ticket? Might take a while if it's in his pocket.

That's two full games without a single shot on target for them. Woeful. More interested in going to ground than setting up a chance from open play.

If Everton ever sell Pickford they'll be in trouble. Authorities don't take kindly to small arms trading.

Clare Balding really fired up here after forgetting how to stand.

Miggy everywhere

So close there Bruno

We're not half moving the ball around nicely.

Damn, that probably should have been two.

MIGGY you beauty! Great goal!

Pope must be exhausted.

At least three Everton players going down super softly thus far.

Commentator on Pickford being booed: "That will not phase him one little bit, in fact he may thrive on it" Yeah, OK.

Klopp: "But unlike some clubs we have a ceiling, I'm just trying to break through it, one bite at a time"

FYP

Top level research and advanced statistical analysis, this is why you're on the big bucks. 👏

Must be a hefty monthy storage bill for hosting Monkeys Fist's porn collection!

So like a Maxi pad?

Owen: "the one in the first half was more a case" Shay: "I think they're both penalties" Rafa: "Mitrovic needs to work harder in training and show that he will listen to instruction to gain my confidence"
