The relegation strugglers ground out a hard fought draw against Everton.3

That 4v2 Everton counter at the end was so painful, even end of his career Jason Pearce could have run quicker than that0

Something is rotten in the City of Manchester at the moment!!

Leicester beating Liverpool as it stands.
Has been a very weird season so far0 -
Just turned the Liverpool game on. Quite foggy there, you can understand how the Tranmere game was postponed0
-
Forest continue their remarkable season, now just 1 point off second (although Arsenal should go above them tonight).
Their next 7 games are Everton, Wolves, Liverpool, Southampton, Bournemouth, Brighton, Fulham, so Liverpool aside, there's no reason why they can't keep their run going.1 -
The City drop off is crazy, but it's also bizarre how United could spend another 200m in the summer and they've got worse. 14th place as we approach new year is incredible.ForeverAddickted said:Something is rotten in the City of Manchester at the moment!!

Also not sure how seemingly making Rashford the scapegoat has worked. Obviously Amorim doesn't like what he's seen but you can't tell me they're a better side without him.1 -
Wont be surprised to see Man Utd trying to sign Victor Gyokeres come January or the summer. Be funny if he's another Championship player that isn't suited to the Premier League, and by moving to Portugal found a league that suited him in return.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

But Utd really will have to limp to the summer and have another clear out, the comparison to us in some regard since losing Ferguson / Curbishley is quite remarkable0 - Sponsored links:

For all the remarkable football that I love seeing from Brentford, Fulham, Bournemouth and dare I say it, Chelsea, the team that I find myself cheering on atm is Everton. It drives me nuts how awfully teams defend generally in The Premier League. Defenders don’t do the basics right like staying goal side of your man and keeping him in view. Everton defend properly. They look organised: each defender is watching one man and there to cover for another. They anticipate attackers’ moves off the ball and make interceptions. They know that if there’s danger, just kind rid of the bloody ball. Lastly, they have a great goalkeeper.
It drives me crazy that teams pass it to a teammate in their own penalty box. If Sean Dyche were put in charge of Man City, he’d turn them around good and proper. ’Pepball’ is thankfully dead. Come on Everton: keep showing them how it’s done. I bet now that they’ll finish top half and next season they’ll be in the top 7 or 8.3 -

I *think* Amorim has a gentlemans agreement with Sporting that stops him going and signing Gyorkeres. Not that I think he'd especially solve their problems as the whole club seems completely dysfunctional. Another £200m+ summer awaits them if Ratcliffe has the appetite to actually invest given the amount of stories about off the field cost cutting. The entire culture of the club needs resetting but I cant help but chuckle at their predicament having grown up with their dominant era.2 -
You just know they’ll sign Gyokres in the summer, he’ll score about 9 in 53 games and then get loaned back to Sporting in January 20273

Osimhen is another name mentioned for ManUre. Think he's the missing piece at Arsenal personally, if he can adapt to English football0

I can't agree with the Everton love in but I 100% do with your point about the deplorable standard of defending. This season in particular.jimmymelrose said:For all the remarkable football that I love seeing from Brentford, Fulham, Bournemouth and dare I say it, Chelsea, the team that I find myself cheering on atm is Everton.

I don't know whether it's a overall shift to prioritising "defenders" providing width or an attacking threat, or the move to teams playing out from the back demanding centre backs to be more comfortable on the ball than ever. But the standard of basic defending seems to have nose dived over the last few years.
Jeez, Man U and Wolves had Evans and Dawson on the bench yesterday. Solid, reliable defenders in their day but they must add up to about 70 between them and that shows the derth of defensive talent out there.1 -

So pleased Neto for Chelsea didn't get away with cheating: He commits a foul on Awobi by launching his body at him and then holds his head to try to get play stops before Fulham went on to score.
I believe the Prem ref realized straight away this was blatant cheating as opposed to common shithousery.
Kyle 'who's the Daddy' Walker was bad the other week with his play acting when he hit the deck quicker that Anthony Joshua, when he smelt another player's breath.

Joao Pedro very, very lucky he didn't connect with that elbow. He'd be looking at January off otherwise, as was well worth a lengthy ban.

Surely that is serious foul play regardless of contact? That is a red card in my book.Bournemouth Addick said:Joao Pedro very, very lucky he didn't connect with that elbow. He'd be looking at January off otherwise, as was well worth a lengthy ban.

Arsenal hanging on against Ipswich if you’re measuring by some of the comments on the post match views thread from yesterday…3

I said a couple of weeks ago that Brighton have been slightly disappointing this season, considering they had the massive distraction of Thursday night European football last season.
They seem to struggle against the lesser teams in the division, at home for example they've drawn against Ipswich, Wolves, Southampton and Brentford (who are terrible away), and lost to Palace.0 -
New, young coach learning a totally new football culture.

Finished 11th last season, then had a net spend of £150m in the summer. I'm sure they were expecting something better this season than mid table.fenaddick said:

The mad thing is I’m not sure £150m net spend over one summer makes much of a difference given the long term benefit / profit they’ll expect from what they did spend.Majority young players added to a very young coach, they probably didn’t expect instant success. They’ll likely make back the £150m and more as they usually do and can enjoy flirting with Europe every couple of seasons in the meantime.1

They've definitely been disappointing, Mitoma hasn't been anywhere near the levels of last season, and they've suffered with injuries at various points to March, Ferguson and now Welbeck.killerandflash said:I said a couple of weeks ago that Brighton have been slightly disappointing this season, considering they had the massive distraction of Thursday night European football last season.

I don't think they will. Bloom is the kind of gambler to take a short term risk for longer term gainkillerandflash said:

Watching Spurs v Wolves. Two goals already, only 12 minutes gone. Pretty standard for a Spurs match. I find myself watching their games more and more now, they almost guarantee entertainment.
On a completely separate point - that pink Wolves third kit is absolutely rancid. 🤢0
