Not going to lie I am glad we got Newcastle away out of the way.

As I said month ago, Newcastle will stay without much trouble. Very good team. 

Mitrovic 30 Championship goals with 17 games left 🥶

Saint-Maximin is some player. He's someone that would add directness to our team, but the chance of signing him is probably long gone.

He couldn't even get into Fulham's team last season as well.

He's pretty poor off the ball isn't he?

He does lack in that regard. However, I'm sure it's something he could improve on under the right manager, though.

Burnley draw with United. Rangnick is looking pretty out of his element.

Everton were absolutely appalling defensively tonight. The state of those goals were shocking. Keep defending like that and they will end up in the championship.

Newcastle out of bottom 3 too, still think this month or two is crucial for them though as they need to keep winning as they’ve still got us, Spurs, Arsenal, City and Liverpool to play again yet.

Fear for Lampard. Really want him to succeed but that was some shocking, shocking defensive organisation.

Well, based on his coaching career that goes hand in hand.

and against NEWCASTLE!, not remotely a Bayern or Citeh level powerhouse offence

smdh

Frank is probably going to regret this move

the only managers lately who succeeded for amy remotely long time at Everton were Martinez, then before him, of course, Moyes. and right before him, Walter Smith

the last 25 years:

 

pull out those 3 (around 18 years of tenure between the 3) and in the other 7 years they burned through TWELVE (10 different ones, 2 were temp twice, Unsworth and big Dunc) manager stints, 13 if you make it exactly 25 years from today

fuckall for trophies as well in that timespan

since the start of 1988/89, they have 1 FA Cup (spring 1995, when they upset Manure) and 1 Charity Shield (summer 1995 when they beat Blackburn, who were already starting to fall apart after winning the league a few months earlier)

Looks like the saudi boys are on course to stay up ffs.

cant really let that happen.

Lamps's sides still look the same. Great to watch on a good day but absolutely useless on a bad one.

Broja scores against Spurs. We need him back.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,556]

He missed a one on one with the keeper....by a little.

[NikkiCFC 8,089]

Coutinho what a player. 

[NikkiCFC 8,089]

Coutinho is mind blowing 🤯

Gerrard is amazing manager, he ain't no Lampard.

What would be the point if the club/Tuchel insist on shoehorning Lukaku into the side?

I am hopeful that the rumors are true that Lukaku wants to leave. It is the hope that kills you.

Even if Lukaku wants to leave, who the F is gonna be able to buy him?
