Football is a results business, after the Chelsea game I was more than concerned that we were on a downward spiral. I never expected us to win the next 2, especially with the dreaded home derby as one of those games. 4 games left for the season, let’s build now & go on a run that instills hope for the next season. (The only loss I am somewhat okay with is against Arsenal if its costs Liverpool the title). Proud of them all today & hope we see more results like this.

That’s the 70 mil version right there

Enjoy that one lads! I’ve got to add, today is the 8 year anniversary of my mother’s passing & I’m just a ball of emotion right now. It’s always a bitter sweet day but for the lads to pull of that win is just incredible. I can’t even describe how I feel but this club just means so much.

This lot don’t like losing & its brilliant to see.

Doucs nearly losing his head there, would have rather seen him come off instead of Gana

Ever a time for Onana to put in a shift, this is it.

What on earth is happening here! 2-0!

Ah fuck Young on for Myko

Myko is all heart. I completely tore 2 ligaments in my ankle 7 weeks ago & felt it watching that replay

Branthwaite grabbing the badge after scoring gives me goosebumps

VVD on a yellow. Get at him now

Tracksuit Dyche is elite

Let’s go lads!!!

been better than I expected so far. Hopefully we can keep it up

I think Chermiti is quite technical as well, he can do a bit with the ball at his feet as well. Not ready to be an out & out starter but he has good potential.

Everton 1 - Liverpool 2 McNeil

I can see him going on to a big club like that as well. Villa dont mind spending some money as well. I don't want to lose Pickford but his value is only going to go down from here on in. We have to get the replacement right though. Onana is the easiest to replace of the 3 we could be selling, for example Ndidi on a free would be good business.

It would be quite funny if we were to say to the PL “in light of recent complaints, we are concerned about having an official who is from the area of a relegation rival in critical position”

Gomes is not renowned for his running but he puts in more of a shift than Onana. 3 man midfield of Gana Gomes & Doucoure (work ethic gets him in) Is Coleman fit? Even if he is, Garner definitely do a job at RB. We need energy & mobility in that wide positions, Coleman & Young will get ripped apart. Upsets happen in football, I just hope we go in to this one with high intensity & a positive mindset.

Sorry mate I wasn’t implying you weren’t, more so that it wasn’t a clinical performance in possession but definitely an improved on. I was really disappointed we went away from it in the second half. Shame about Dele this year as he would contribute greatly to the team playing that way.

Sadly I agree. I want to say lack of consistent minutes, adapting to the league ect ect but for such a big lad I really expected him to bully defenders more. Not writing him off but his physical attributes have not been impressive enough to outweigh his expected technical flaws.

Yeah I agree mate & I’m not suggesting we were knocking it around like prime Barcelona however, there did seem to be a shift in tactics. Our wing play remains absolute dogshit though. Crying out for someone with a bit of pace.

I thought in the first in particular there were plenty of good passing moments, players looking for space and playing the ball forward. Agree it wasn’t a straight forward 2-0 but a good result nonetheless.

Glad to hear, saw his post on his Instagram confirming he is okay. Said in the match day thread but that was his best showing for us in my opinion. Fought for everything & the ball stuck to him a lot better.

Gana, had everything to his game & worked non stop. Gomes got us ticking over - set piece delivery was shocking however. Myko - special mention for this lad. Tactically it was clear McNeil was instructed to find space in the centre, which I don’t mind. Myko held that side of the pitch on his own for the most part & made a superb covering run to prevent a chance. He lacks some ability but he is all heart.
