Clear and fucking obvious my fucking arse fuck off. Scrap it, ruining the fucking game week in week out. A big 6 get that decision the game is fucking gone.

It's hard to take positives when realistically this is a game we need to win.

We're going to have to go on a hell of a run at goodison if we are to stay up. Edging closer and closer every week to the championship with very little inclination that this squad are currently mentally strong enough to avoid the drop.

Oh shit they’re bringing Ayew on.

You've said it now

Not impressed with the lack of discipline in the team this half. Hope it doesn't come back to bite us. Great game for the neutral

Dyche might have had a word about winding Aurier up at half time.

Happy with that half other than the gaping hole in our midfield for their goal.

I thought Godfrey would be a lot more comfortable than he has been, I can only put it down to lack of march sharpness, but he looks like he's trying too hard.

Grey working really hard up top. McNeil having another good game and so far Gana looks to be moving the ball quicker than he has in previous games.

Doucoures technical ability is absolutely shocking, I'm surprised he's got so many Premier League caps, but he scored a goal so he's my best mate, for now.

And there's one reason why we might well go down. Soton get a goal through a player they brought in during January

Im not sure what the optimal result is for us. Leicester win, Southampton stay a few points away from us. Southampton win, Leicester are in further danger of dropping into the bottom 3 in the following weeks. A draw might possibly be the best result, but I don't really mind what the outcome is.

Might turn over and watch the shite play Wolves. Don't think getting worked up over something I expected is on my agenda tonight. Enjoy the rest of the game.

Bring on Simms and go 442 its pointless trying to defend this game now we haven't scored 2 for god knows how long

 

I'm sure it'll do our confidence great when we lose this game 6-0.

That's not a jab at you, I don't know what we can do this second half. We all know the game is over already, as do the players, and probably so does Dyche.

HOW can you be a threatening team without a recognised striker?

This question to the board.

We sold our highest scorer this season in January and the other hasn't started a game under Dyche.

Richy gone, DCL has fitness issues. The board are solely to blame for refusing to address these issues.

But what was Gana thinking?

How many times this season has he put under pressure like that? We can't afford to have that in the team right now. Really needs benching because he's cost us several goals this season.

It's getting harder and harder to not write his career off. All the more reason we needed to sign forwards in the summer, and then again in January. Think we need to cut our loss in the summer and get whatever we can for him in the window.

So fucking frustrating watching us fluff 3 or 4 chances and then concede a goal.

No chance we score two now.

Just on a sidenote some of the teams around us have difficult fixtures coming up in the next 4 games.

Palace - Liverpool & City

Forrest - Everton, Tottenham, Newcastle

Leicester - United, Arsenal, Chelsea

Wolves - Fulham, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle

Bournemouth - City, Arsenal, Liverpool

I think we could see Bournemouth and/or Wolves plummet to the bottom 3 after these games.

I expected us to play a lot of long balls and be resolute in defence, which we have been. We have however played some okay stuff along the ground, often out of defensive areas, more than I thought. Once the players get more confident, I think we will see more of this, but always with one eye on the long ball.

I think with Dom scores a goal yesterday if he's in the team. A lot of good balls in dangerous areas which Maupay and co didn't fancy attacking. Dom does make those runs on the 6 yard box and we've seen him nearly score a couple like that already under Dyche.

6 points out of 9 with 3 very difficult fixtures. I think everybody would have taken that prior to the games. Villa at home next week, who have lost their last 3 and will be feeling a bit of pressure. I think we can get 3 points out of that game. If we do it puts us in very good position prior to going to the Emirates, and then two winnable games after that against Forrest and Brentford. In a ideal world, if we get at least 7 points out of those 4 games, the table looks a whole lot different.

There can only be one choice today

It is encouraging we are making lost of chances. 

Leeds are a poor side. 

Is this year going to be the closest ever relegation battle of all 3 places?

Could well be, only 10 points separate the bottom 10 teams.

Not the prettiest game, a very nervy match, managed it really well though. Not sure if they even had a shot on target.

Huge win considering where we both sit in the table.

Fucking get in.

Looking at the keeper position, which was awful, he surely meant it? The keeper left a huge gap to shoot at.

I thought he looked up into the box just before he hit it, for me he saw the keepers positioning.

However we all know his crossing ability (or lack there of; so I might be wrong )

Let's get the crowd quiet tonight, frustrate them, get them on their teams back. Pressure is on them to get something out of this game tonight. Looking forward to the game actually for once.

I don't reckon laughing boy across the park is looking forward to taking on a Dyche side.

Dyche took 8 points against them with Burnley, 5 of those at Anfield.
