Transfer business has been weak imo, and you're set to lose your best player.
I hope I'm wrong though, I like you lot.
Former Everton Youngster. Good on him for coming up to the Premier League with Brighton
The real news today is that Wayne Rooney is a fantastic player, should be first on the England team sheet and that Man Utd have made a huge mistake. I don't know about you, but as a Premier League Expert, I fancy Rooney to lead Everton to where the club deserves. Don't have Lukaku, Morata, Aguero, Coutinho (he's getting sold anyway) or Lacazette in your fantasy team. The real player to have is Rooney.
Tons of experience, and was a class apart, especially towards the end of the game!
Gana deserves a special mention - freak of nature was everywhere!
More than likely the same 3atb they've been playing in the preseason. Danilo can play on the left, no problemos
Yep. Playing crap and winning is better than playing crap and getting what we deserved today.

They need one extra back for when Kompany gets injured after 35mins

And the extra kicker? Man Utd probably still have to pay a portion of his wages! Everton making out with world class talent like bandits.
Watch Lukaku fail to score tomorrow and Man Utd to draw 0-0 or 1-1.

I'll agree with anyone who says Everton will miss Lukaku as the season goes on, but it speaks volumes when you see Rooney covering damn near every corner of the pitch from start to finish.

In every interview he's done so far he has lashed out (indirectly) against the board for selling players and not bringing in reinforcements.
Thats one way of looking at it for sure
I still think 3 at the back is not a good formation for us. Missing Coleman big time ther

If Everton get to glory with Rooney I don't think I could carry on.
Not finished yet, talking to a few players. If we are still unable to score that many after 10 games then yeah I will start to worry. Least we kept a clean sheet I guess. 😂
Ignore him - Arsenal win one game and he's already running his mouth off
In Chelsea news...
Positives first I guess: Morata looks a class act. Christensen grew into it, Rudiger too - having both of them in a new look back three is probably what cost us though. Nice to see a bit of fight second half as well, rather than us looking sorry for yourselves.
Negatives... Cahill's idiocy cost us the game. Him going off forced 2 new guys into a back three with Luiz (who isn't the best organiser). Also I think going to three at the back after the red was a mistake, we should have just gone 4 at the back so we could keep pressure on Burnley higher up the pitch.
Other notes: added time remains a massive joke. Pawson constantly pointed at his watch when Burnley were wasting time and we got 4 minute added on. Four. In the second half there were 5 subs, 2 goals and a red card BEFORE any time wasting.
Oh and Burnley can fuck off. Run around a lot and defend with as many people as legally possible. They're like Allardyce's Bolton without any of the quality or flair.

Is Chelsea not spending like they used to? Just getting back into the sport this season so I've bend out of that loop after several years away.
thanks

Man city usually starts and ends the season good, it's the middle that fucks them up. Hopefully they decide to play a whole season this time.

Pfft, a clean sheet? A defence capable of doing their job? Who needs that?

Danilo on the left, likely this:
-------------------Ederson
-----Otamendi - Kompany - Stones
----------------Fernandinho
Walker - De Bruyne - D Silva - Danilo
--------------Jesus - Aguero
Substitutes: Bravo, Sterling, Mangala, Sane, B Silva, Yaya Toure, Foden.
Mourinho Season
Mighty Huddersfield for the title!

We're spending, but only to replace other players. And seeing that we also have CL to contend with this year, that's not enough.
Costa <--> Morata
Matic <--> Bakayoko
Begovic <--> Caballero
Zouma <--> Rüdiger
Also Aké, Terry, Chalobah, Loftus-Cheek have left the club without bringing in any replacements. Squad depth is non-existent at the moment.

First game she reffed! She reffed the uefa CL female championship game. And also the female Euro final.
If i heard correctly she is the first female to ref in the top 5 leagues.
She did a a great job reffing today!

He almost scored until Morata ruined it

Pretty good. Would have scored a great goal if Morata hadn't intervened.
Glory for Everton is a pretty low bar though.
Damn. What a messed up game. Pissed me right off. Having said that, did not expect to almost come back from 3-0 down with 9 men. Also Morata was really, really special. Scored a goal, an offside goal and assisted as a sub. Not sure who will partner Kante against Tottenham. Yikes.
That's me all game haha. Most frustrating match I've seen in ages.
Yeah, video replay has thus far proved to be a bit shaky.
Mirrors our game today too - our fault for making our own mess. Salah can be guilty of that at times, glaring misses.
That level of honesty and self-reflection

I see many Madrid fans keep calling him overrated before here. Not really hating though.

Beating us is all that a lot of Toffees need. And, given how Everton's defence is far more salvageable right now than Liverpool's, that drought has to end sometime.

What a start of the new EPL season we are having. Exciting stuff.
Ah, I was under the impression that the shot was just going wide. Oh well. I guess in the heat of it all it's hard to judge.
We'll need Christensen to step up to avoid a battering against Spurs.
