Baird of the land

Surely that's a foul by Fernandes if anything

away point to Everton isn't to be sniffed at, especially given we missed a penalty. We played well. Second half everton adapted to play like an away side against us but I still think we shaded the half. Could have done with boufal or djenepo. Don't get the point of referees and VAR. the bednarek thing is either a red or good tackle, nothing in between, Bednarek gets the ball but gets booked and they get a free kick. Var looks and decides even though he got the ball all that means is that its not a red card offence. That's garbage, lucky they didn't score from the dangerous free kick position.

Frustrating after playing so well to be 1-1. Been very enjoyable watching us slice them apart though. Ings amazing again. felt they always felt a threat going forward with richarlison, very poor defending by bednarek to make it easy for him though.

Amazon prime masquerading as Everton tv.

Maybe we can get a newly promoted team like Leeds to buy Gunn.

I’m hoping we at least get to 50 pts. to get top half we might need 4 wins out of 5 which is probably a stretch.

A few years ago I think most would of scoffed at notion of JWP as the hard tackling engine room of the midfield. He seems to have the right work ethic which has given him the chance to emerge as a real force in that position. With the Euros delayed he must have a real shot of making the England squad if he keeps this level up into next season.

Don't get the Wilson fascination. He's looks a fairly limited player who is good at set pieces(something he wouldn't get to take at Saints)

Like the fact we've gone away from plain stripes to a sash for a year. Both home and away kits look nice to me. I'll probably get one.

Wonder how much it would cost to get buendia from Norwich in the summer.

Everton not even seeming to care about losing. no doubt they’ll rebound against us though.

Holgate off injured. Is that Him out I wonder.

Don't see the value in loaning him back there. Surely another promoted club would be interested in purchasing him even if Fulham aren't promoted, a bit like the Targett situation

Another class performance from Stephens. A player who looked so talented but it seemed wasn't going to channel it into consistent 90 minute displays but this season has blossomed. Immense effort by the players and great opportunism by adams. That's certainly one way to get off the mark at a new club. Slightly surprised we didn't freshen the midfield up with Djenepo at some point.

Amusing seeing spurs getting hammered

At times Adams has looked pretty terrible but then there are other moments like sunday when you think there's a player there. Obafemi, equally is still erratic. His pace is a fantastic asset and has scored a couple of goals. So the boring answer at this point would be both. Neither has done enough to be third choice automatic pick.

So forster must be going back on loan there too.

Wonder when Le Tiss is next scheduled to be on Sky. Interesting to see what he wears. Should stick a kick it out badge on instead.

I see Starmer is bright enough to criticise as nonsense extreme BLM stuff about getting rid of police.

Your assuming that saints would put him in u23’s rather than save 15k a week in wages. Past experience with other players doesn’t indicate that.

If your boss told you to take another job for half the money would you? forster most likely can just hold out till we buckle to another loan deal unless someone offers similar wages to what he is on.

Think i'd bring back Hojberg for this. This Isn't a game suited to Romeu, whereas yesterday was. Mobility over strength needed. If stephens is back him in too for Vestergaard, for same reason. Armstrong definitely in for Smallbone. Might be worth giving Gunn a game depending how he looks in training.

Personally I don't mind Bournemouth. Pragmatically I look at West Ham and Villa's spending power and would like to see them down for that reason. Given our horrendous record against West Ham i'd probably plump for them if it came down to a straight choice.

I thought he was neat and tidy. I’d call it a solid performance rather than impressive. Hopefully he’ll get more experience this season, which will hopefully give him platform to keep improving.

I was happy to see no gray or Welbeck in the starting lineup. Bednarek and Vestergaard felt well suited to dealing with Deeney. Ings again suberb again. Just hope the club don't sell him this summer because he's bound to generate interest. Real shame adams didn't get his goal. The turn though, a sign it might be worth persevering with him. Our turn to have a keeper throw in an off day. What was with foster's wall for that free kick, making it easy for Ward-prowse, coupled with miscued throw. Our jeckyll and hyde form is bizarre.
