Watched about 50 minutes.
As bad as anything I've seen in the EPL this year including Uniteds 2nd half yesterday.

Lampard is a fraud.

I Watched the Forest game and have switched over to see Richarlason and a couple of others strolling round not breaking a sweat. I know theyre 5-0 down but they really arent bothered. We might be playing them next season,

They played so well against Man City last weekend, strange how things change in a week

Everton are shocking

Not had a new manager bounce under Lampard, he talks a good game so makes you wonder if he's actually that good or if there are more things that meet the eye

Terribly run club nowadays. Their issues are far bigger than Lampard but he's certainly not improved things. I said it when Ancelotti left, the entire set-up at the club is completely backwards.

*EDIT - Found the post I was referring to from back in June.

This.
It's why Everton have failed despite having had an excellent manager in Ancelotti & decent recruitment teams in place with the likes of Marcel Brands & previously Steve Walsh who they pinched from Leicester (discovered Mahrez & Kanté etc.)
They don't have a model of what they actually want to be & recruit around it like most successful clubs do now. This leads to the scenarios you see with ridiculous turnaround of players & management as they're often looking to play a certain brand of football with players that simply aren't suited to it.

Another good example would be Frank De Boer's ill fated tenure at Palace.

Would be a slight farce if they went down. Not quite as big as if Newcastle did which now appears unlikely

I think it would be massive if Everton went down, not been in the second tier since the mid 50s

Even Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs have had spells in the second tier more recently. It's only Arsenal that haven't

Would be interesting to see if Moshiri continued bankrolling them or cut his losses like Ellis Short.

I saw somebody write that he is the frontman and the real owner is Usmanov how lucky they are

Ignoring Newcastle takeover, Everton being relegated would be a much much bigger thing. They are one of the top 3 longest serving top flight clubs and wealthy in their own right

Arsenal
Everton
Liverpool

Then it was us up to 2001! It'll be on United and then Spurs now

I meant in terms of the competitive farce of them even being in the league.

 

[Saddlebrains]

They're spending hundreds of millions on the new stadium also

They're in huge huge huge shit if they go

The benefactor for the stadium is an Oligarch, so they've got a £400m gap

Leeds look in serious trouble now and it’s turning toxic in the stands.

I think it will be between Leeds and Everton for the last relegation place, Norwich and Watford nailed on for the drop now.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Leeds for me look a decent side but they're just not with it mentally. Going to be between them and Everton I think, Burnley will escape

Everton have a daunting run in

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I still think Burnley will get the last spot but I would love it to be Everton

 

[Ccfcisparks]

What a fucking goal

 

[Liquid Gold]

Norwich and Watford have 9 wins between them.

There should be a certain points barrier which if you don't reach when going down you can't go back up the next season. Give someone else a go.

Ronaldo is many things but finished isn't one of them

 

[Evo1883]

Fantastic header

 

[Tommo1993]

Anyone else hoping Everton go on the worst possible run?

Rapist?

 

[Evo1883]

No I quite like them

 

[Tommo1993]

Shove it, Tile Hill!

Wtf is Hwang doing

 

[no_loyalty]

Yes, would like to see them get relegated.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

That is a penalty for Newcastle weak ref

 

[Paul Anthony]

Had a handful of his shirt, got none of the ball. Still no penalty. Ridiculous.

 

[Nick]

Isn't that what var was meant for?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

You could take your pick on either of the challenges for a penalty

 

[Evo1883]

Chelsea getting away with shit refereeing

 

[Paul Anthony]

This clear and obvious thing is such a cop out. If a foul takes place and the referee doesn't see it, then surely it's a clear and obvious error?

 

[Paul Anthony]

After all that, you just knew Chelsea were going to nick that.

 

[Otis]

Grrrr.

Russia 1 v 0 Saudi Arabia

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Newcastle actually look like a decent team. If they can attract some good players in the summer could see them easily finishing top half next year
