@milesey05 said it in the Leeds thread, but Carlo not playing James today was spot-on tactically. It seems a no-brainer, to not play someone who's work rate isn't that great against a team who is all work rate, but we've had plenty of managers the last few years who wouldn't have thought twice about it and thrown James out there just because he's James. 

Brilliant piece of management by Carlo Fantastico.

Careful mate, if you question his defensive efforts you’ll be lynched. Team has to adapt to him don’t forget...

Without trying to sound like I’m knocking James I think it would have been a different result with him in the team and Carlo new that, I expect he will start against Utd where he will have more space and time to show his ability and get us attacking them from defence splitting passes.

Its a squad game, certain players unlock certain defences, James will unlock more than most. For games where the physical is as important as skill  we need different players.

That’s why he made sure he had a hot drink! His back still put out from the weekend. 

[jofanon]

No way do we win that game with Marco SIlva in charge.  Big change in mentality lately!

[dunlopp9987]

I just can't get over how much I love his professionalism. Of all the class acts, he's the classiest. No making excuses (Klopp), no running around on the pitch when we score a late goal (Klopp), no antics (Klopp). 

He may not always get it right, and we will surely have a fair many more bumpy roads to cross over, but I want to see Carlo at the helm for as long as he wants it.

i wonder why he's sending dunc to do the pressers now

he has done it in all the FA cup match's I think. Part of his development I guess.

It's quite a common thing to let the assistant have these duties for cup games. Like LB says, it's also part of the process of him going on to become a manager himself.

[markjazzbassist]

gotcha, thanks guys

[Gwlad]

Seems he didn't want to crow when we were in front, too much respect for Mourinho or any opposing managers for that matter. Pundits go on about how how liked he is but I always sense the subtext "why have Everton got him"

They can’t believe it can they.  The best signing we’ve made in decades, finally turning this club around.

[Btay]

Hopefully we can get 4 points from our games in hand - putting us in 4th spot. With favourable run in, richarlison looking like he could be back to goal scoring form and some big players coming back from injury - we could really push on here.

Hope he and his family are ok, burglaries can be very traumatic. 

Also hope that security is tight at his home.

Fucking scum, anyone who breaks into someone’s home, regardless of who’s home, are just worthless scum.

I’ve been burgled twice first time when we were at work and the kids were at school, second time we were in bed the kids had left home but we had our 3 year old granddaughter staying, you know how it is when you’re missus wakes you up with the words of there’s some one in the house, and you say I can’t hear anything and roll over again job done, not this time panicked missus pushes me again, so okay I’ll have a look get up look out the bedroom window and see 2 lads are legging it across the road towards the fields and copses, quickly pull boxers on run down stairs grab the biggest knife out the kitchen and I’m off after them, running through wood’s and fields in the dark with nothing on my feet not a great decision spent 20 minutes or so looking then headed back home feet not in a very good shape. 
Get home and  the police are there a bloke and a woman, the male copper sees the knife in my hand and starts having a pop at me, we have a few words which results in him threatening to arrest me and me telling them to get the fuck out of my house, had to phone the station the next day to get a crime number for the insurance company, I remember thinking this is going to go down well after last night but to be fair to them they gave me the number and nothing was said.

15 years later if I met that copper I would apologise to him he was doing his job, and was right if I would have caught up with one of them I would have been doing a lot of time in prison or a cemetery.

I could name my worst childhood memory in a second, without hesitation. Being burgled isn't just the material that is taken, it's the feeling that comes afterwards of what has happened and what could have happened to make it ten times worse. 

Anyone that breaks into someone else's property is scum and doesn't have the basic human morals that should be expected from everyone - regardless of their background or life story. 

Hopefully Carlo gets his safe back and the incident didn't traumatise his daughter too much, just glad that everyone in the household was unharmed.

It's hard mate, if somebody threatens your family, your home instinct and anger can take over. Ultimately it comes down to keeping you and your family safe tho, possessions can be replaced, loved ones cannot.

It can be very hard to recover from a break in because your home is where you are supposed to feel safe, if someone breaks in that that feeling of safety can be hard to get back, sometimes it cant and people have to move.

I would advise everyone to check their homes, make sure they have good strong locks on doors and windows. Have motion activated lights by windows and doors and a prominently placed burglar alarm. If you cant afford an alarm then a convincing imitation can do a job.

Tall fences and bushes give burglars cover from the roads so maybe consider shortening them. Most importantly make sure doors and windows are closed and locked at night or when you leave the house.

Burglars, (unless they are specifically targeting a specific house) look for easy targets so make yours a hard target. If you have a car parked outside use a driving wheel lock that's visible, it shows that you take security seriously. 

Contact your local safer neighbourhood team who can help with crime prevention advice and with a Neighbourhood Watch. You would be surprised who effective they can be.

Lastly you do not know the mindset of someone who is prepared to break into someones home to steal. For all they know the occupants could be MMA fighters, yet they do it. Think about that.

The Burglars may have weapons, and if they have them then they may be prepared to use them. If you pick up a weapon are you prepared to use it, or will you hesitate, freeze. If you threaten them with a weapon you massively up the anti. I'm not saying don't do it and the law allows for "Instant arming" just think about the risks. 

If you think someone has broken in call the Police asap, who will get there as fast as they can. They have stab vests, handcuffs, batons, tazers and training!

Once when I shared a flat and twice the family home. It is shit.

 

Also thanks LB for your on the job input.

Policeman was a gobshite. Clearly you'd be emotional after a burglary.

Fight or flight is natural.
