Other football - 2020/21

[torahboy]

That Trossard is a consumptive looking fucker. Some nice stuff from him but he really has no end product. If Brighton could defend they might make mid table. Everton, on the other hand, look capable of deluding their fans up till Christmas, maybe the early New Year.

If Everton get this guy back even in his current state then I’d be worried

Fair play - they've got a good manager and have bought well. Pity they wont really enjoy this run they're on. They'll spend the whole time obsessing about us.

Seems to be us obsessing about them recently.. just saying !

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Nice £50 cash out instead of £81, with all teams winning with 5 minutes to go and 2 ended up drawing. 

 

I love taking money off the bookies for a losing bet! 

 

On Everton, they're doing well. But, they've played nobody decent yet. Pickford will eventually start costing them points against better teams. He's woeful. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Not really its just been the game thats been on TV.

He could just lie down in the goal.

I don’t like DCL. He seems like a smug prick. Hopefully Virg knocks 7 shades of shot out of him in a couple of weeks.

And the funny thing is, they're playing their best football in ages and none of the cunts can see it live 

Could label that at us as well...

I think from our side it's been a little more magnanimous. It's apparent that appointing Ancelotti was a good move by them and, even accounting for the opposition (you can only play what's in front of you), they've had a good start. You just know that instead of enjoying it for what it is, they will - as usual - only be able to find some way of comparing what they are doing with us. Just like every Everton fan on a phone in will, no matter the subject, always mention us somewhere. Whereas, I dont know any red who'd do the same thing.

[Section_31]

Wouldn't get too arsed. At the end of yhe day would you take any of their players for our first XI? I wouldn't. Would Ancelotti take any of ours? Probably all of them.

 

We're only a few games in, they've beaten sides you'd expect them to beat given the money spent and the calibre of their coach.

 

It also says a lot about the standard in the league at the moment too. Three basicslly amateur managers at the main rival clubs for a top six finish at the mancs, Chelsea and arse.

[Scott_M]

I confidently predict that come 3pm on 17th October, it’ll be fairly obvious that The Ev’s pre-match meal will have been heavily seasoned with a large helping of...

 

 

Like it is virtually every time we play them. 

[Chocoholic]

Unlike us building up to where we are now, over a period of the last 3 seasons, the mental fatigue of maintaining this run of form will tell on them before long and they'll be blowing out their arses before Christmas.

I think most reds would be as bitter as them had we been under their boot since the sixties.  Even when they had a great side , winning two titles, in the eighties we were better. They have started really well this time and playing some nice stuff.  I doubt many rational Bloos really think they will finish above us but if we lost the derby it wouldn't shock me . 

[Scooby Dudek]

I am sure they were saying that they would suffer more than most without fans in the stadium, this must be their best start for many a year. Coincidence ?

They've spent loads of money and have a great manager, I just reckon it's that simple. So few of the other big clubs in the league have got their shit together it's a good time for a side like them to try and get top six. 

 

It's honestly surprising how many of the so called big six are limping on and have appointed what are essentially trainee managers.

They're a good side after years of being terrible and incompetent. It's not straightforward reacting to that accurately.

Just another case of their perceptions being at odds with reality. Who'd a thunk it?

[Bjornebye]

They are doing well for sure. Definitely improved, have a CF on fire and a superb manager but you won't get any Reds sweating about them being close to us at the business end. 

[bizzle10]

they might actually give man city a game instead of rolling over as usuall

[Numero Veinticinco]

You ain’t no Aurelio, son. 

[Harry Squatter]

Let's just keep winning and worrying about our own form.  Been pleased with our last two performances in the league, hopefully we put in another one tomorrow.

I think they will be well behind us and they will do well to get top 4, but having said that, it could be a bit of a mad season if whole squads come down with the virus, which could be a complete leveller. I think it will probably impact all squads though.

 

A mediocre united with a terrible manager (some excellent players) and chelsea managed by a mediocre manager with a poor defence means that Arsenal and the Ev are in the mix for top 4. I personally think Spurs should get it with a bit to spare.

 

I can't see City being in that batch but if they lose a few games before Christmas, I think Pep could walk.

[Guest Alex_K]

Impressive from Everton today - thought they'd be dulled massively without Richarlison/Gomes/Allan as Brighton can be a handful. Doucoure has been a really good signing. Still think Hames will fade come winter. Bit of the Luis Garcia about him. They're a little bit like an early-Rafa side generally.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Have City's players all got DVTs? 

 

They all look like they're wearing compression socks. 

[Special K]

There's a shock, Leeds shitting themselves against a side that isn't us
