MotD was a good watch this morning, some good games yesterday. Happy to take a point at a bouncing Elland Road although based on chances 3 were up for grabs. Saying that I suspect Leeds fans were thinking the same. What is pleasing from an Everton perspective is that Rafa is not simply sitting back, we are attacking teams and when we play on the break we go in numbers, not just 1 or 2 players with a huge gap to the midfield. If we can keep Gray feeling the love and he maintains his current level then he is going to be an absolute steal.

Great goal by Ings for Villa. If they can keep him out on the pitch then he will be huge for them. A proper striker, so good to see.

The same applies to all teams, a lot of home records were awful last year. Equally that means away records were a little skewed as well, balancing out.

I think something we can all agree on, it's great to have fans back in grounds. It's a different game with them in the ground.

Yes I agree.
But six losses on the trot is very unusual for Liverpool.

Yes Gray looks the bargain of the season if he carries on like that.
Might have a pound on DCL for top goalscorer.

Thoughts on the Leeds penalty appeal at the end?

DCL tends to score in batches but if we keep banging crosses across as we have done first 2 games then those numbers should smooth out. Any striker would love service like he is getting and he must be there or there abouts as top scorer come the end of the season.

They mentioned on motd about Gray maintaining this, something he hasn't been able to do before. Hopefully he can do this, perhaps his role in the team suits him better than it did at Leicester?
 
Peculiar performance by utd. They went average, dominant and then back to average. Fair play to Southampton who should have won it when Armstrong was through but really poor from a utd perspective.

It looks like it's going to be a long season for Southampton, big game for them next week against Newcastle.
 
Unbelievable that we've won that. :ROFLMAO: Wolves must have had near enough 70% possession. We didn't do much at all. I did feel Wolves would struggle this season though and this backs it up - they can't score goals! Traore ran us ragged a bit, but he can't shoot at all luckily. If Jimenez doesn't get back his best (and will be hard for him to do that of course), I can't see where their goals are going to come from.

Was like a Mourinho game today, felt all too familiar but the late equaliser never came. Oh well, six points and none conceded, can't complain!

The goals will come.

Get used to that sort of performance fron Nuno, not done much and still won.
 
I've no idea how we've got nothing from that game.
If we lose Traore and Neves we're completely and utterly stuffed, time for the board to back the new manager, the most entertained I've been watching Wolves in a very long time.

Chelsea look rather tasty.

If Arteta is reading this, Tierney needs help. ?

Men and boys at the moment. Arteta will need to give a heck of a half time talk.

Edit: alternatively, someone told them about my post and it angered them ??. Good ending to the half from arsenal.

£50m cheerleader! Don't think I've ever seen a Premier League player with worse touch, control or passing. Bar Bakayoko at Chelsea a few years ago.

His ball into the box is sublime, everything after that is on a par with me. Including pace
