Just off with that header. Damn the camera angles.

Sweet sassy molassy.

What a stinging shot. It's good we're getting a foothold in this one while not having conceded.

A goalie berating himself, that's a novelty.

Stones is amaaaaaazing at those last second tackles.

Uhoh, yeah we need Stones healthy.

for all the howard haters, he's the keeper in the espn team of the weekend. they loved that balotelli save and others. FWIW jags and gerrard also made it.

True. I'm sure they're highlighting the American though to make their audience happy and proud. ESPN is said to be putting together a huge bid for rights to a lot of games next year, and if that happens we can look forward to a lot more ads and a forced agenda (don't even get me started on the SEC =P).

I think we're overly harsh on the guy, but since there seem to be so many people who think that he's garbage, I'll keep an eye on it.

As for the free kick, I think he was wrong-footed because he didn't expect the ball in that area. He seemed to be angry at people afterwards (although I don't think the wall shied away from the ball at all), so that would indicate to me that he was expecting the ball in a different location. As a keeper, you're not going to be able to protect the whole net on a free kick like that, so you cover one part and trust your wall to cover the other.

The radio calling of the Jagielka goal. Maybe I'll make that my new morning alarm.

Voted stones as well, then maybe Howard. It's sad that my third would have been browning

Great! Now that we're behind, we can start to play.

nice to the kopites react so warmly to a player so clearly getting injured. disgusting.

Right? I was holding out hope they were booing about something else going on but that would be strange too with a player down.

This game is so nerve-wracking but at least it's still a clean sheet right now.

Barry is making me so nervous. Stones looks great though.

Liverpool 3 - 2 Everton

My knee-jerk worries are our defense, our confidence, and the fact that our stalwarts are inexplicably (and consistently) poor.

Everton 2 - 1 Crystal Palace

Lukaku

Woo-hoo!

I'm stuck away from internet/TV again. I'm not doing so well so far this season =(. Relying on this thread for excitement though.

WBA 1 - 3 Everton

Naismith

We're three games into the season for goodness sake. Give the man some time to get going.

Could've had a better 4th pot draw, but ah well.

What??? It couldn't of been much harder!!!

I think so far so good. Not bad for travel, and not exactly world-beaters. Certainly a test though. I think they'll be good games and we'll have a very very good chance.

Yes! Good draw!

So H, I or L would be ideal?

So not groups C, F, J or K really. COYB
