If Brennan Johnson is a hit, that’s four high quality first team players added in one window. Along with a solid depth player in Solomon. And two players for the future in Veliz and Phillips. The starting XI is strong and we have a couple nice pieces off the bench. But in general, we need to improve the depth before we can have hopes for trophies.

Would’ve been nice to add another CB or to have replaced Hojbjerg. But it’s hard to do it all in one window. Especially when the players you’re trying to move out keep rejecting other clubs.

I expect Spurs to be one of the teams bidding for Ivan Toney in January. Toney and a CB should be the goal.

 

Getafe fans must be livid.

Oh, nevermind…

 

I’m still mad my Messi goal vs them in person was ruled an own goal tbh everything else is just spite

 

Didn’t Getafe join Atletico, Sociedad, and Osasuna in calling for Rubiales to step down just days ago?

And now they have signed Mason Greenwood.

 

what are the other reasons?

 

they play abysmally ugly footy for one

 

Oh ok. I thought there was maybe something other about this club. But for a small team to play ugly football to survive in the league, well I can't really blame them.

 

@Big Un

 

Ha, belting. Chang is like piss BTW

 

Gather round, folks. This is going to be a classic.

 

FC Stoppable Force vs Sporting Club de Moveable Object.

 

6 minutes away from Ashley Young having more minutes for Everton than Jean Phillipe Gbamin who Everton bought for 25m on 100k a week 4 years ago.

 

Well, they all count.

 

Should have been a penalty, but they scored in the end.

 

Tbf it would have been a very well worked goal if the Sheffield United keeper hadn’t pulled off a cracking save.

 

Everton somehow look good whilst misplacing or scuffing about 50% of their passes

 

Danjuma fucking sucks

 

That touch was gross.

 

So glad I benched him this weekend

 

I always hate that a goal like that goes down as an OG.

 

Again, we've not looked terrible. Danjuma has royally pissed me off not squaring the ball when we had 4 v 2. We'd be 2-0 up and clear had we scored there.

 

I could have sworn fouls were given for the last point of contact, not the start?

 

Wow what a great goal that is. Deserved too because Sheffield United committed about three fouls in the build up.

 

Beto looks very good

 

Is Sheffield United’s only game plan foul as much as possible
