Love it!

Looking at Man City line up..:.who on earth is Oscar Bob...I swear they just make players up and they're invariably good. Makes you sick

Is his brother Bafta Bill?

Good half in my opinion. Great energy. Our high press is coursing them problems. If I was to criticise, I'd say we have maybe rushed a few long balls at times. 

Dominic!

Great goal!

Good to see Dom starting. Also excited to see Harrison get his first start. Wasn't expecting 5 at the back, but ok. Interesting to see what Garner and Onana do in the middle. And hopefully we'll see a few goals. 

I'm backing the build momentum, confidence and partnerships philosophy. At most rest say two players. Maybe make changes early in the second half, because we do have important games coming up. But we all know we are never going to win this trophy anyway!

One of the reasons Moshiri wants out has to be because he’s been cut off from Uncle Alisher.

Based on spurs knowing he was on sleeping tablets and how his performance levels had dropped off - are you saying they never had an obligation to him? 
 

What part of the medical is going to flag up sleeping tablets? 

That’s my point. You can just as easy argue that our doctors were incompetent in not uncovering potential mental and physical complications, including any addictions or long term medication. At the end of the day though it’s just scapegoating.

But, as I mentioned, I don’t know what you are arguing for here.

Are you saying Spurs owe us or Dele something? Are you implying we’ve been somehow ripped off?

I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at @Hafnia.

It’s all good finger-pointing, but you can also point the finger at our doctors. Aren’t all players given a medical before signing. Why weren’t these medical problems discovered then.

I don’t see what your argument is?

We made a deal, we agreed the terms, we should pay up. Besides Levy doesn’t seem like the kind to “renegotiate” terms that are not in his favour. This idea that they owe us something is ridiculous.

Fair enough, in retrospect they could have handled his situation better. But that’s with the benefit of hindsight.

We can all be wise and morally superior with the benefit of hindsight.

There's 6 games between now and the next international break. I'd like to see us around the 15 point mark around then, but that might still be a big ask at this point.

That's around 11 points from Luton (H), Bournemouth (H), Liverpool (A), West Ham (A), Brighton (H), Palace (A).

Obviously the next two games will be crucial in this regard. We've shown glimpses of how well we can play and the amount of chances we can create. But the key will be can we maintain a level of consistency and put those chances away.

There's reason to be optimistic right now, and god knows we need a slice of optimism at the minute, but I think by the next international break we'll be able to say whether this is going to be another long and depressing season or one where we can look forward to the dizzying heights of a mid-table finish.  

Just a point behind Chelsea now lads. Reckon we’ll be challenging for Europe this year!

Hopefully that win will lift the spirits of many on here. It’s all been a bit doom and gloom on here this last week - even more so than usual.

Onwards and upwards!

Loved the improvised diving slide after his goal today. 
Great to see him back and on the score sheet.

Fingers crossed he can stay fit.

World of difference having him at the back.

Does the basics really well, puts in a solid performance and doesn’t make too many soft mistakes.

The result is we look much more composed and solid.

Danjuma on for Gana and Garner into the middle

Sounds like a home match right now

Yippee!!

• Two of the three teams to attempt the most long passes in the Premier League this season have been Everton (287, second) and Brentford (285, third).

• Everton have picked up just one point in their opening five Premier League games this season (D1 L4), their joint-worst start to a campaign along with 1994-95.

• Brentford only went ahead in 11 of their first 25 home Premier League matches – since then, they’ve held a lead in 15 of their 16 games on home soil, including the past 10. They have, however, drawn their three at Gtech Community Stadium this season, despite leading in all of them.

• Since Sean Dyche’s first league game in charge of Everton in February, defender James Tarkowski has blocked 13 more shots on target than any other player (41), including three against Arsenal last time out.

Sounds like this could be an exciting, end-to-end match.

I don't think we'll lose today. That's my prediction.

Is he anywhere near fit? Thought he had a slight setback, but still doesn’t seem to be anywhere near the team.

Communication? Everton? Can’t be true.

The line I was taking was that we’d be sold as a package, stadium and all.

Of course, they could well sell off all the assets separately, and probably make a lot more money that way.

Who knows what they’ll end up doing.

As I said, I’m clutching at straws trying to find a glimmer of hope in this deep dark abyss. 

If these guys come in, get the stadium done, and then flip it as suggested, then isn’t that ‘ok’.

I mean that in the sense that, the stadium gets done then maybe they don’t invest too much in the team, which may be difficult enough with FFP anyway, but keep us in the League, we then at least become an attractive investment for someone who might be willing to invest in taking the club forward.

I’m clutching at straws I know, but surely that is a better situation to be in than the status quo?

It’s going to be a long time before we are fighting for Europe again, that much is obvious. But a new stadium and perhaps better people behind the scenes inc. at board level is the best we can hope for at the moment?
