Bald Cunt better deliver, next month.Only 4 months left of the season!
Royal did ok but absolutely killed us (vs Udogie). He will be a big boostAnge getting a win with last seasons team in the 2nd half is a miracle. A back 4 with e Dier, Davies and Emerson in it is enough to give you nightmares but fair play its a good 3 points
You’ve named 4 players there. You know there is no limit on subs right?Not enough changes. This is one of Ange's few flaws.
Through the most of second half, we have played like shit and he doesn't do anything about it. Why Johnson is still playing is a mystery. Deki is tired. Porro doesn't contribute when we're not playing more aggressive. Son looks sluggish (and tired). And so on.
He was perfectly OK, especially for a 4th choice CB coming on just as our opponents came on strong.
This is getting ridiculous.
When other clubs do it, it's the "Hallmark of Champions"We got away with it today, and last week to be fair, but I suppose winning whilst not playing well is a good thing.
If we can get everyone back soon, then the team could finish quite strongly, especially if a couple come in during the window.
This is one of those games that need to be watched again to understand what happened. Obviously, some part of it is simply that Everton is better than we probably gave them credit for going in.
I really do think , with everyone available , we are a match for anyoneI didn't enjoy that one bit.
Really hanging on at the end there, but i'll say this about today, In years gone past, spurs would've capitulated under that pressure, and no doubt would've lost, so to win that one is massive progress.
With all the injuries and suspensions, we will have to dig in for a few more weeks, but if we can grind out wins like today and hang in there, there could be something special coming to this club very soon.
Fuck me - still recovering. Just off the tube and into a pub near Warren Street. Only half way home but felt I needed a few beers to calm down.
The enormous sense of relief at the final whistle was palpable! Effectively our second string - half hobbling, the other half knackered - clung on there.
Credit to Everton - they came to play and not defend. Thought we looked slightly devoid of ideas today and very sloppy with the ball.
Won’t complain. Another 3pts with half a team yet to return.
Best bit of the day was saying Merry Christmas to Mrs Perryman and meeting Nutter Naylor and 1882….
COYS
It's really hard to get quality players in January! So i don't think we will sign many, i would be happy with a CB.Bald Cunt better deliver, next month.
Just seen it again, he was slightly but not completely unsighted.
The lino was ten yards away.
You wouldn't believe the absolute nonse-sense from Keys and Gray though. Not a foul in any sense ("very slight contact", nowhere near enough for Royal to "throw himself to the floor" says Gray) according to them, the ref should have grown a pair and told VAR to fuck off.
