Not sure about that. VVD hasn't been great this season so far. Even Bamford made him look bang average.
A couple of years ago he played in a televised game and held the ball up beautifully all game. Everything stuck, he controlled the line. Couldn't hit a barn door though, his finishing let him down. It was the first time he had really stood out though, properly stood out. Since then he has led the line still and his scoring has improved bit by bit. Last year he had a great spell but then dried up post lockdown. This season he has had everything.
We musn't underestimate that prior to this season he was often isolated up top, no one running through to help, Richarlison at best. This year he has a much better midfield allowing Everton to move up top as a unit and he also has Rodriguez, our David Silva. He is putting balls through for him that are dreamy. Suddenly he is getting chances in the right areas. He is able to spend more time in the right areas and he is being fed properly. It has been great to watch him evolve.
We really do need to keep him wrapped in cotton wool, we don't have a back up.

I'm hoping something controversial happens in one of the games tonight that we can discuss

They would only ruin him. Not sure Man Utd would be that tempting for him right now and I'd like to think we have the money to keep him now. Ancelotti is building something, the owner has deep pockets. Saying all that, Utd have been desperate for a few years and if they come in and offer to triple his wages..........
That’s the key though - Man Utd will always be seen as the step up even when they aren’t winning or mid table etc - always seem to pick up the players.
Right now only their poor back room team would mess it up .
If he keeps up the form then teams will look at him , maybe City as well - even more so if Everton don’t get CL football

I wouldn’t have said Bamford made VVD look average but it was a good old proper tussle at times. Even the best defenders get played at times and VVD is now a very well known quantity so he won’t have it all his own way as often. Doesn’t make him all of a sudden a bad player but we’ll see how he adapts. I do think, if there is one weakness in Liverpool, it’s that they can’t keep one CB along side VVD and he will suffer at times because of it.

Yes I would say the difference is the service.
Quality balls that he dosnt have to chase down make a huge difference.
I thought Richarlison would be the main man this year but he’s not been

Liverpool will struggle now without vvd but also because Allison is missing
Adrian is an awful keeper. Average bottom level keeper but top level? Not got the concentration

If a prem league game ends 0-0, on pay per view, but with no one actually having bought the pay per view, did it even happen?

id hope so for 14.95, not sure anyone can confirm though
£15 for a game i can understand it from a business sense, but what's annoyed me most is the stupid KO times for them games.
Every team has to be shown on sky 12x per season with maximum of 28 games per team per season. Unless they're in Europe every PPV game should all KO at 3pm on a Saturday.
I see Sky won't be releasing the figures of how many bought PPV games.....

Jiminez was lucky to stay on the pitch there, Son was sent off for exactly the same thing last season.

Same team of Officials for the Leeds v Wolves that had the Derby on saturday, with Ref and VAR guy reversed, not a chance they were going to send someone off on a VAR decision tonight.??

We had a green 3rd kit to make Raul feel at home last season, got to make sure the rest of the squad stay happy this time around.

£15 is a silly amount to pay anyway, Sky’s blockbuster films are £5.49 surely 90 minutes of football should be priced about the same?

Sky haven't set the price, the PL clubs have. I think there's a bit of political games going on between the PL, EFL and the Government.
Whilst £15 is a pisstake, I can fully understand its a business and there's extra costs for more games to be shown live etc
Let's be honest, the only fans that are really missing out are the ST holders/ones who usually go the match.
Theres been enough disruption to football, those PPV games should be Saturday 3pm where possible. Not 12:15 or7:15 on a Sunday am/pm.
Thankfully there's no real appetite for PPV games in English football.
