Everton vs RS

Right then, derby day. None of us looking forward to it, let’s be honest. We’ll be doing our Atleti best to snuff out the rampant reds. Hopefully won’t get absolutely battered, however, no point being negative - Maupay to make himself an instant club legend, Gray and Gordon with the other two. 3-1 to the blues.

If we know one thing about Everton this season it’s that we’re likely to concede a late goal. Was hoping we’d have had a goal on the break by now. Liverpool will be hammering at the door for the next half hour or so.

Gueye on for Davies. My kind of sub, that.

That’ll do. Gutted we didn’t nick it. First clean sheet solid, performance and Maupay showing what he can bring to the team. Pickford finding his form from last season. Plenty to be proud of there. If we could have nicked it Rotts’s much vaunted Klopp explosion may have occurred. Look forward to him whinging like a child about how unjust it all is.

An entertaining game and I'm feeling a lot more positive now. We could have won it, but could easily have lost it, so happy with a point. It feels a little weird reading online comments and being congratulated by the deludes, but at least that is out of the way for a few months.

Decent performances all round I thought. Onana is looking lke he will be a great signing. Iwobi is unrecognisible from pre-Lampard. I also Maupay added something and could be a decent buy. He should have scored in the secong half but he was clearly absolutely fucked after an hour.

Wasn't going to go all week. My lad was giving me grief, calling me a defeatist and a miserable fuck (guilty your honour), and I finally agreed to go on the condition that WHEN we lose he will have to buy all the beers for the evening, and if we go 3-0 down we can leave whatever the time. Thank fuck I did go. What an atmosphere and what a game. We rode our luck a bit but had enough chances to have actually won it!! There's some real grit in the team now and what we lack in skill we make up for in effort.
Not seen any TV coverage or reports yet, but here are a few things I picked up from the game.
Davies battles but not good enough.
Onana could be a real gem, he looks class. Him and Gueye will be awesome as a pair!
Maupay ran his arse off but cannot hit a cow's arse with a banjo in front of goal. Not good for our only fit striker.
Not Iwobi's best game but he's winning me over
Coady is our best signing in years!!!
Why the fuck wasn't Van Dijk sent off for an obvious studs up and raking the leg?
Another fucking VAR goes against us!! Bet it would have been allowed the other way
Pickford is fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!
AND I'M FUCKING CHUFFED getting a point against the red cunts!!

Now it's pub and beer time and watch Shitteh thrash the Villa

I’m glad I went in the end too. Fantastic game, great atmosphere except for the horrible away fans who caused chaos outside the ground. Mind you the policing was a bit stupid too.

We looked really good, could have won it, could have lost it. I thought Patterson was very good, in fact all the defence was solid, though we looked a bit lightweight up front times.

But for me, the key takeaway was how Incredibly good Gana looked when he come on. He’s clearly benefited from his time at PSG and I though he was the best player on the pitch today, against a surprisingly lacklustre RS.

Finally, can’t understand why VAR didn’t get involved and red card VVD

Agree on Patterson. I really underestimated him, seemed to absolutely thrive in the big occasion hope it’s the start of something good. Gana is such a Rolls Royce of a player. He does nothing super fancy but all the basics are done so well.

Dick Van Dyke. What a piece of utter shithousery.
That was never an effort to get the ball. Aimed straight at the ankle.
Allan got done for less. Stranding over the lad and giving him comforting pats don't cut it with me.

Do you think that's been shopped? If that was what VAR was seeing, how can it be disallowed? That's worse than I thought.
Hold my calls Mildred, get me Stockley Park on the blower.
