Long long way to go. The last 8 games we are not even in the top 8 teams. Staying in contention / catching up is the name of the game up until end of Feb for me
Nice for the dreamers to dream though. I think this club has broken that part of me over the years. Madrid being the final nail.
Im far too cynical now.
So I will need to be 5 points in front going into match week 38 to start dreaming!! (Even then could the league find a way to dock us 3 points Would be in the back of my mind).
All that worry about their set pieces and yesterday we continued to show that we are good at defending them. Yesterday was the first time this season we have conceded from a corner and it wasn’t exactly direct.
As for the foul on Emerson you could tell at the time it was a foul. VAR was brought in for exactly these moments. When the on pitch officials have dropped a bollock. All the complaint about its use here is false. It did the job it was intended for. It’s a non story.
This is where the Bissouma red will hurt us. He’s good against being pressed and under pressure. He’s massively important in these games.
we cant just bin them withut replacing them first
otherwise you and me will be on the bench
Meh
If you look at the chances created we should still win the game 8/10 but that doesn’t mean you don’t credit Everton for being good at what they do.
They were the form team in the prem for being an athletic pressing monster. But short handed we won and on the balance of chances created we deserved to
Yes of course he did - but making it out to be the worst VAR mistake of the season is a bit over-dramatic, there have been many far less contentious or arguable ones, that's my point.
For the third time, I'm not defending the decision, I'm saying that it's a very long way from being the worst VAR mistake of the season which two other posters are claiming it to be. There have been many far worse / obvious ones.
Hypothetical situation.
If United offer him a transfer war chest of £500m should he go there in January??
Would you go there in that scenario?
Imagine being the 4th official between Dyche and Big Ange? Like being on a 70s playground...
(Gravelly!)

I'd bring back Hojbjerg to play 6 (wonder if the transfer uncertainty is the reason he missed out?). Or Sarr with Gio and Kulu as 8s.
But yes Romero missing out would be a big problem.
The harder these lads work, the harder they practice and the more they commit, the ‘luckier’ become (Gary Player knew a thing or two about what it means to win). Unfortunately that wasn’t forthcoming against Spam or Villa, but Fuck sake, what we are witnessing is not accidental. To even be a second or third stringer in this team, this year, under this management team, is a dream come true (if you have any sense about you).
This year is just mental when you think about it, and the future looks bright for those who commit. Fucking loving this.
And fuck that jug eared twat btw

A win is a win is a win. Much happier eating me cornflakes with three points than crying about not winning like the villa game.
The man on the moon knows half them players ange doesn’t want and they are dead men walking but fair play to them, easier thing to do is down tools and conceded soft goals. We kept playing out from the back and not hoofing. Credit to all the players and the manager.

Bournemouth are THE in form team, 5 wins and a draw from their last six games.
They cheated, so it's fair. What's not fair is Chelsea and City not getting anything.
2 very tough games coming up Brighton and B'muff
If we manage to get 4 pts out of those it would again be a really good return.
I'd be fine with 2 draws tbh
I would lean towards that too tbh.
In no way can Skipp play that 6 against those two.
If Gomes got anything on the ball then it wouldn't have been a foul. He knocked Emerson over. Ergo it's a foul. It's not hard
