Fucking love Dyche ball me!
 

I was in hospital for the day yesterday, and lying back on a treatment table the doc said to me, "I like your shoes, they didn't come from the High Street did they?"
Love a good shoe
 

True, but we were not really outplayed by United. The score was not a reflection of the game. Neither, I should add, have we been lucky when winning games; we've deserved to win. We've not played poorly all season really, losing early games simply because we had no real striker available. Personally, I'm very upbeat right now. We'll be brought down to earth from time to time, but our overall trajectory is clear.

Without the point deduction, we would be above Chelsea in the table. That means we ought to be favourites to win this game.

I was receiving text notifications about the score during business meetings I was attending yesterday in Dallas, and I couldn't believe the score going up and up. At the airport, I read everyone's comments with praise for the entire team. That's so encouraging after all the negativity surrounding Young and Beto, both of whom appeared to play well yesterday. I hope this puts an end to the OTT criticism faced by these players. The truth is that both are contributing to our winning run. Well done to them and to everyone on the team.

That was a gutty performance.. I'm the first to bad mouth Ashley Young but he was excellent.  All heart today playing out of position. Gave it everything.  Love seeing Beto score also great for his psychee

Superb result that 👏 
We need those goals for confidence more than anything.
And buzzing for Beto. Like any player...just needs minutes 🤷‍♂️

Clearly not ready for the Prem. Where's the slide, the fanatical celebration, and taunting opposition fans?

In fairness, that should be the attitude of every player in the squad.

It's all going to come out one day, I'm sure, and there will be uproar when it does: influence of gambling, influence of big money, influence of Saudis, power-grabbing and egotistical in-fighting, and no end of illegal bribes and influence-peddling. I can't wait for the day because there's no doubt the league is being tarnished and diminished and fans are being taken for suckers.

Amazing how if you don't score 20 goals within your first 5 matches as a striker for Everton you're immediately shite. Jesus wept, Beto has moved to a new team (that's a bit shit), new league and new country and because he's not tearing the place up I'm hearing he's Championship level at best .
He might be good, might be shite. Too early to tell. Regardless, give the lad a chance ffs. 

Sorry, but I just can't let this pass. Remember when we had one of the top 30 best strikers of the past decade - better than van Persie, Robben, Torres, Giroud, and Falcao?  (He's ranked #26.)

I was disappointed with Beto as well, but we'll see a big change in him once he bags a couple of goals. It's clear he's a confidence player: that's the issue right now, not lack of ability.

There are some similarities since Lukaku would come across as lazy, but he was a top goalscorer nonetheless. Whether it's pacing himself - choosing which opportunities to chase and not others - or something else, I'd rather a goalscorer that comes across as lazy than a busy bee whose goal stats don't warrant a second glance.
What matters in the end is scoring goals. I'm confident Beto will get there once this initial famine ends.

Tbf, we probably through him back in when he's not fully fit after his injury because we had to.
I don't think he played well but lets not slaughter him and write him off just yet.

Once again, it's a clean sheet. It may not alway be pretty, but our defence lets in fewer goals than most.
