Alone in the Park - it's the Prem 2020-21 thread

almost the one year anniversary of that 2-0 win at Etihad that I still watch replays of for funsies

Don't know about reasons for Traore. Two thirds of the team was the regular starting lineup so I don't think Nuno was trying to lose. Gotta give the fringe players a game somewhere. Couldn't get a stream so I haven't seen it.

Work...meh.

I think i can watch Mondays on DVR delay if i avoid this thread.

Jota to liverpool?

If he's going to sit on the bench it might as well be at Anfield I suppose.

would be a
weird signing. guess that means origi being sold. would rather brewster got the minutes to see if he's up to it, unless klopp has already decided he isn't.

Had to check whether it was our Jota, would be sad to lose him but if the price is right. He still needs to improve bit he's young enough, don't think we should sell for less than a lot

I assumed he was dropped cos of form but

I'd be very happy to add him to the squad, seems the type of player who could improve a fair bit under klopp

and my curse of jerseys becoming obsolete a year after I buy them continues

doesn't bode well that I just bought a Raul this year o_O

Have read the reports this morning and there's a young centre back coming to us as part of the deal. Assuming we've done our usual due diligence this seems smart, we need to bolster the back line. Much as I love Diogo we've evolved to the point where he's replaceable, hope he goes from strength to strength except against us

Yeah Hoever is a right sided centre half, has played full back and even right mid for the kids. A lot was expected from him at one point

Still only 19? I imagine Nuno believes he's improbable even if he goes in the Under 23s for now

Lol improvable I hate this phone

West Brom were pretty much bossing this and now they're down to 10 men and 2-1 down before half time

Bilic getting sent off made for a pretty funny throw to the ad break. he's such a tit.

Immaculate free kick from Pereira

5-2 now

Everton dodging an ignominious fate

would 5-3 be an ignominious scoreline?

a lot to like about Everton and fun to have another team potentially "in the mix" with Leicester and Wolves, but Pickford-Keane-Mina looks pretty fucking thin for a team with pretensions to anything more than mediocrity

Slaven Bilic is just painfully uncool. really stands out when directly comparing him with Carlo obv, but seriously. that fucking earring! what a goof.

I reckon in this context it would be

if you'd were 4-3 up in a see-saw thriller and you caught them on the break to put it beyond doubt you'd be like, yeah alright

Conceding a third against the 10-man demoralised shell of a long beaten team? Awful

players registered as squad members for Everton F.C. in this EPL 2020/2021 season whomst you had completely forgotten existed- Cenk Tosun; Sandro Ramirez; Yannick Bolasie; Mo Besic; Jonas Lossl

in fact fuck it, add that prize cunt Fabian Delph to that list

Martin Keown accusing Richarlison of having nothing on his mind is the rankest of hypocrisy

welcome back to the Prem Helder

Cracking finish

Penalty to Fulham

Scored

Keeper should probably have save it

Still no idea if that was really a pen after six replays

If we're getting CB help, i think it's a good move.

Patrick Bamford is going to be this year's Grant Holt isn't he?

Oh the ignominy

Unreasonably annoyed by that banner saying "SIDE BEFORE SELF. EVERYTIME."

An absolute VAR masterclass happening in the Utd game

Utd have been shocking but that's genuinely a fucking disgrace

Yeah who fuckin wants this? Fuck var

Young Donny on the scoresheet

Well that was grim

Solskjaer first sacking odds tumbling

Hodgson can't have done any harm to his chances to make the next Man U manager shitlist shortlist

It’s astonishing that Spurs still can’t defend a dinked ball over the top. It was a let off today but iirc Ings scored pretty much exactly the same goal last season,

Incredible how quickly one of the strengths of our team - the CBs - has become one of the main weaknesses.

Think we might get something out of that Ndombele to Son ball at some point though. Djenepo looking terrifying.

Also Dele to PSG appears to be a thing. Maybe we can buy an entirely new team.

Was coming

Dinked ball over the top, inevitably.

love to see mou getting paid 8 mill a year for turning spurs into a hoofball team

Another cracking finish

Good from Ndombele there

Ndombele’s turn!

Boom!

Not a fan of these late offside flags

fuck var iirc
