Richarlison. Not because I'd particularly want him playing for Saints, just so we didn't have to play against him.

Leeds season could turn on this game. Win and it's close to a two horse race between Everton and Burnley for the last relegation spot. Lose or draw and their next three fixtures could well see them dragged into the fight.

That's like saying Ireland should hold a referendum now to avoid the threat of death and destruction due to the threat of British invasion. There's no excuse or justification for what Russia has done.

Both Sweden and Finland have agreed to apply to join NATO next month. Can’t imagine too many barriers will be put in their way.

Did the money come from Moshiri or Usmanov? On top of that they’ve got a new stadium to pay for, and apparently no relegation clauses in their player’s contracts either. Everton didn’t look too special against lower league opposition in the cup games earlier this season. It’s by no means certain Everton go down, but it now looks more likely than not they do, and if they do, I think they’ll be in significant danger of going more Sunderland/Pompey than Newcastle/Villa.

Burnley playing Villa with Gerrard managing twice might be, uh, interesting…

It was probably Everton’s best chance of getting something, but they needed everything to go for them, and it didn’t. As soon as they conceded they had no choice but to open up.

538 model does too https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/premier-league/

Think that might have been red if Liverpool weren’t 2-0 up

Everton’s goal difference is starting to look a bit ominous now too

Thought that was heading in there!

Difficult for Everton to dig themselves out now..

As bad as it’d be for the rest of us, imagine being an Everton fan if Liverpool do the quadruple and Everton go down after hiring Benitez… That said, even if Liverpool win here today, I still think the league is a long shot for them. I reckon City dropping more points than Liverpool is unlikely.

So, 2-6-2-0-0 formation for Everton by the look of it?

So, Ben Mee football genius? I’ll hold my hands up and admit I thought Burnley were making a huge mistake getting rid of Dyche, but it certainly seems to have given them a better chance than I thought they had.

Well, decent point in the end having been 2-0 down and yet another entry for the JWP Free Kick Gallery. Hope Livramento’s injury isn’t too serious.

There’s very little support for the Russian invasion outside of Russia. There’s a certain level of tolerance for it from some places, due to either the cost of opposing Russia and existing deals, or opportunism of Russia being being forced to buy and sell in a smaller market, but everywhere is facing uncertainty because of it.

Could have been 2-0 up in the first five minutes, then their right back scores a worldy with his weak foot for his first goal and the whole game flips on that.

Cheats.

JWP territory…

Damn! Thought that was in!

“I don’t think this can be disallowed…” Who is that idiot on commentary?

Never mind him climbing all over the defender then…

Was about to say how well we’d started… Where did that come from? Cracking strike to be fair. Still feels like we’ll be ok, one of those where Burnley may well have scored too early.

Indeed, especially after the saves Pope had to make. Missing that penalty to go 2-0 will sting though…
