Romey 1878

Dyche might even decide to play Danjuma up front.

Apparently United are the only side that has two 19 year olds. Read into that what you will.

Forest are a weird club. https://www.teamtalk.com/nottingham-forest/marinakis-considers-legal-action-sky-sports-gary-neville-comments

There have been more red cards in Everton versus Liverpool games than any other Premier League fixture (23), with the Blues' 16 the most one side has against another in the competition. Ashley Young was sent off earlier this season at Anfield, though there has not been a red card in both meetings since 2005-06. Everton are winless in their past 12 Premier League home games against Liverpool (D9 L3), their longest run without a league victory against an opponent at Goodison Park. The Reds have won their past 12 league games played on Wednesday by an aggregate score of 33-5, since a 1-0 home loss to Brighton in February 2021. No player has been directly involved in more Premier League goals for Everton this season than Dwight McNeil (three goals, five assists). However, McNeil has never been involved in one in 10 league appearances against Liverpool, only facing Manchester United (12) more without a top-flight goal or assist. Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in six goals in his past five Premier League appearances against Everton, scoring five and assisting one. He scored twice in the reverse fixture in October – the last player to score two or more goals in both Merseyside derbies in a league campaign was Dixie Dean in 1932-33, while the last for Liverpool was Dick Forshaw in 1925-26.

Apparently that’s as far as it’ll go, just talks.

If I was a betting man I’d say Dyche will be thinking along the same lines and we’ll only see him on the bench.

That is what Palfy was saying.

I just can't see Pickford being sold unless we go down when we'd have to take any sort of offer for him. I don't think a team would even pay more than the £30m we paid for him originally and that means it's not really worth it for us. Onana's a given in my opinion, he's already gone in my mind. He's got lots of potential but, as Btay says, for what he currently brings you could replace him for a lot less than he'd be sold for. I would just hope that Thelwell looks further afield than here. There's lots of value out there if you cast your net wide and even though we're a PL club (hopefully!) it'll be well known that we haven't got great finances so we shouldn't get destroyed on fees.

He was dropped. He hasn't played for weeks, even after the two mistakes the replacement made. He wasn't in the original squad and was only moved over from the U21s to make up the numbers in training after the number 3 keeper had to pull out.

The one that’s been dropped by Burnley? That Trafford? I was impressed with him for England U21s but he’s not looked good in big boys football at all. He needs to get a lot stronger because he’s weak as piss.

I know people are making a joke out of his outfit change (and it is funny!) but I did like his explanation for it. They’d asked the players to do some different things since the Chelsea game and the honest conversations they’d had, so he wanted to show them that he was doing different things too. It’s only a small thing, obviously, but I think it sends a good message that they’re all in this together.

Wouldn't a Luton fan have preferred a draw yesterday anyway?

David Coote is on VAR for this game and he's from Nottingham. I wonder if we'll complain .

He won't be allowed to play anyway due to concussion rules. Don't think he'll be available for Saturday either.

Everton 0-2 the shite None

Would absolutely love to Klopp a good fucking in his last derby. I can't see it happening but at least not winning won't cause me so much panic like it would have if we hadn't won yesterday.

Meltdown in 3, 2, 1...

No way would he have been allowed to carry on after getting treatment if it was anything too serious.

If he'd been our keeper in any of the last three seasons we'd have been relegated. He's absolute garbage. Fortunately, for my own sanity, we'll never be able to afford him so I don't have to worry. I've been happy since yesterday and then you have to go and suggest this shit stain replacing one of the best! Stop it .

Fuck off. He's shite!
