Fuck me, we still can't play well when Rooney is on the pitch.

Everton look like the bad old days just before Roberto Martinez got sacked.

Oh dearie me no, at least based on most of that game. Atlanta, Chelsea and Tottenham were very bad though. I don't think it's possible for Everton to play a game as bad as his final one, I don't think I'll ever see a team play with such a lack of desire and effort. And that was against Sunderland!

Seemed like the opposite considering how much you spent in the transfer window. ;p

I don't get why that keeps getting brought up without any context. Yes Everton spent a lot of money, but so did pretty much every team in the Prem, and most of the teams Everton have played this season comprised of much higher cumulative transfer fees/average wages. They also lost their best player, to one of the teams they played away from home, and failing to adequately replace him in probably the biggest issue.

They need to improve massively especially in their next game but most of the players bought are great players on paper at the very least and need to stand up and be counted and put these last 4 games behind them.

Lukaky & Mkhi save my FPL gameweek but I'm still salty I captained Lukaku last week instead of Kane and did the vice versa this week, could've broken 60+ points.

Well done, mate. I haven't had one week above the 60s but I'm consistently averaging around 50 points which is better than I usually do in the opening weeks so rough with the smooth but I've been punished for tripling up on Spurs players (Kane/Alli/Eriksen).

I'm going to follow common sense and save my wildcard until after the second international break.

The Wembley curse has really struck them. I have two of their defenders though, which works well.

I used my wild card after the second week and then scored 21 points the third...It's been a process.

All the Ben Davies bandwagoners got punished yesterday because of a slight knock, hilarious when that happens.
