Wolves v Everton

Kean on for Richie who has been absolutely anonymous today.

Digne with a good cross to Coleman who heads the ball towards goal, corner.

Laughable defending, we are very fortunate it's not 3-0.

Good chance, Siggi's effort from just inside the box is blocked out for a corner.

Davies with the touch of the day.

Kean closes down a Wolves defender and gets a throw in for his effort.

Fook, Digne is soooo close to score. His shot is dragged just wide of the far post.

From the BBC:

Paul: Jordan Pickford is an absolute joke. Twice today he's dropped the ball where a decent goalie would have dealt with it competently including just now where he let it squirm through his body and he only just stopped it going over line. And he laughs about it. Pathetic.

Stuart: Pickford is simply too erratic and cannot be relied upon from an England point of view. Does not inspire confidence and makes his own teammates (and supporters) jittery.

3-0.

That was a quick counter attack. A long ball over the top from inside the Wolves half is handled well off the chest by Jota who fires in to the near corner. Great control for the goal. Great long pass over the top.

The BBC probably described the goal a bit better than I did.

GOAL- Wolves 3-0 Everton
Diogo Jota

What. A. Goal.

Ruben Neves plays a simply stunning ball over the top, eliminating three Everton players and putting Diogo Jota through on goal.

He takes one touch then smashes it past Jordan Pickford at his near post.

One of the best assists of the season. Take a bow, Neves!

DCL with a decent header there, but right at the goalie.

Digne is limping but we have made all 5 substitutions.

Not sure what else to say apart from that we have been second best pretty much the entire game.

Lots of work for Ancelloti over the summer.

Oh my, Traore misses an open goal from 6 yards out. Should be 4-0.

Watching the replay, Traore's effort from about 5 yards out hits the top of the crossbar I believe. Not sure how he missed that.

From the BBC:

WHAT A MISS!
Wolves 3-0 Everton

OHHH it should be 4-0. Nuno can't believe it. He's kicked the water bottle in frustration!

Everton have piled players forward so when Rui Patricio launches it long to Diogo Jota, he's racing through.

Adama Traore is in the middle and Jota puts it on a plate for him, with Jordan Pickford already off his line.

Traore just has to tap it into an open net and ends up hitting the top of the crossbar! Absolute shocker.

Well, it's pretty clear the midfield will need to see the biggest overhaul this summer.

Close to 4-0 for the second time.

I think I could have been the Wolves goalie today. Good thing it's good weather or he might have been getting a bit cold.

3-0

Less than a minute of the 4 added minutes remaining.

I was going to wait until the final whistle to reply to your post.

And there it is, the final whistle. 3-0. And it was closer to 4-0 than 3-1, which says it all really.

So glad I got up at 4:50AM to watch this...

Listening to the studio after the game, they are slaughtering the Everton effort and team.
