They could be called the magnificent 4 after all the leader of this band of brothers has been sporting a Yul Brynner look. Do do dodo ( theme music to the magnificent 7)

I don’t think so he just needs a consistent and solid partner who has ability and a brain, whether he becomes the leader in that partnership for me is immaterial, but he’s definitely good enough to be playing at the top of this league. He should be back in the England squad he’s far better than McGuire who would crumble right in front of our eyes if he had to play in this Everton team. Keane has been solid for quite a while now, mistake’s that lead to goals aren’t coming from him but from others. I think you do him a massive disservice by your remarks, if we stay mid table it will be because of others not him.

It is definitely an area that needs urgent addressing, whether Mina is our best CB makes no difference because he’s always on the physios bench, we need to find a consistent partner for Keane someone who will play week in week out so we can build a solid platform to work off Mina isn’t that player for obvious reasons.

I agree with Masi that it’s a race and he wanted it to finish with the cars racing, but there’s always going to be a few buts when the guy that wins it has done so by gaining an advantage that he didn’t achieve by his driving ability, I can totally understand why Mercedes feel so hard done by but as a team they will get over it, but Hamilton may never get the opportunity to win that 8th title again, after driving a pretty much perfect race the title and all time record was taken from him in a less than ideal way. He has to now accept it and move on and try to put it right next season but it will be hard Red Bull are getting stronger every race and will have 2 very strong cars next season.

No matter how much it hurts at times, there’s no better club in the land.

But usually all cars have to unlap and many races have finished behind the safety car because there hasn’t been sufficient laps left for all cars to unlap themselves.

Pickford no brainer even though there were another 11 heroes on that pitch tonight.

Some struggle to compute or understand what effect that has on a team, but it’s easy to slag the managers off when things don’t stack up.

It is to be honest I have no problem with that.

Young legs have definitely made the difference when you haven’t got the ball, very impressed with Dobbin you can see a player in him, just got to him to sign now.

Get in

Were stick Tosun on that should make you happier.

Sorry you were saying

Get in would you Adam and Eve it Branthwaite.

It does mate but that’s football and doesn’t take away he’s been a warrior tonight.

Godfrey is a breath of fresh air.

Own goal if there’s any justice

That is absolutely spot on but will fall on deaf ears.

When you look at the bench John there’s nothing there to put on to change it to plan B.

I think they always put the effort in just that they shoot themselves in the foot with a poor defensive touch.

Did anyone else find the stat from the commentator that we only have 3 players on the pitch that started the first game of the season win over Southampton disturbing.

Where we are heading with this latest wave is anyones guess, but if we are to get this under control we all need to adhere to rules.But I fear Boris and his party have cost us any chance of coming together and following the guidelines with their fragrant breach of the rules set down by themselves, their one rule for them and one rule for us attitude has cost many lives and added months if not years to getting this under control.

Don’t take any notice of me mate I’ve had a shit 5-6 months with my insomnia, and responding to posts at 4:00am after my usual 2-3 hours sleep probably isn’t the wises thing to do. I try to make it tongue in cheek in my head it works but in print it doesn’t always come across that way. If you stop posting about Benitez I’ll have nothing to read and post on at between 3-4 in the morning.

If we were bottom 3 1st of January I would give him his transfer window to balance the team he has taken on the most imbalanced team I can remember. If we were in the bottom 3 come the 1st March I would be astonished, but this is all hypothetical and the poor squad he has had to deal with compounded by a catalog of injuries is reality.
