Jesus, I should have taken my own advice but I didn't think Gerrard could be this shite. All that investment to lose 2:0 to Bournemouth...
Premier League Gameweek 1
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Could be worse in a year's time...
Didn't recognise Havertz with the haircut.
Is pitch dry?
Pickford is awesome.
Oh Pickford..
VAR contributing to an injury
Injury for Godfrey caused by a sequence of events that could have been avoided
Wishing injury on a player
Godfrey looks hurt, couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke
Godfrey done by the looks of it
oof he's got his ankle trapped under his body there. Potentially broke his ankle because pickford fecked it up to save a corner?! madness
This one is on the refs.
Lampard looks like he has put a few pounds on
Blimey, the commentary justifying the £62m price tag for Cucurella!
Stress isn't good for the body...especially when you're as entitled as him.
How can the assistant not see that was miles out. Ridiculous way to get what looks a bad injury.
It's about time Fat Frank was actually fat. West Ham fans will be made up.
Ashley Cole on coaching staff
Looks like a nasty injury, hope I'm wrong.
Looks like this is another season where we will end up getting ridiculous fecking injuries.
Broken? If you slow down replay it looks awkward.
Have they slightly changed the TV camera angle at Everton? Pitch looks miles away when they are playing it on the far side..
You can see his ankle gets caught under his body and it bends/snaps unfortunately. You can tell from his reaction immediately it's a big one.
Crazy, 10 mins into your first game. Poor guy.
15 minutes into a new season and financially restricted Everton have a major injury. If it doesnt rain it pisses down.
When did Ashley Cole become a coach at Everton? Missed that completely.
It screams of someone giving his buddy a helping hand
This’ll add some time on.
Everton will only be saved from the drop by other teams being worse than them, I just cannot see where the goals are going to come from. A front three of Iwobi, Gordon and McNeill today. If Calvert-Lewin can’t stay fit, and he seems very injury prone, they simply won’t score enough goals to win games. They desperately need a proven goal scorer, but I don’t think they have the funds.
Forest have had massive squad turnover because of all the loans they had last season, and I think they are going straight back down, but the other big candidates, Bournemouth and Fulham, both looked good today. Everton are in for a tough season. They certainly have one of the worst 5 squads in the PL and I don’t think their manager is particularly good.

That would be 2 serious injuries today in televised games, Ginaoulis of Wigan and then Godfrey.
Nice one Pickford, in an effort to save the ball from going for a corner you’ve managed to concede a goalscoring chance, a corner and a serious injury to your teammate.
He is neither a mighty midget nor the smartest ass, a bit like Bernardeschi, Expectations to contribute straight away in a declining squad and the inability to adapt to a tactical, conservative set up just killed his morale.
The physio definitely said "Fractured" to the ref who then signaled for a stretcher.
Lampard really does look bad.
Put on a good bit of weight, losing hair, the outfit etc
I hope it's not serious. First game of the season, terrible timing
Did they change the rule on subs coming on after physios coming on?
It always a dumb rule.
It always a dumb rule.
Or a defensive approach to keep them in matches and hope they take their chances, similar to what Rooney did at Derby. But Lampard has really no clue as to what he wants nor does he want to accept being more cautious and defensive to start out with.
That looks like it could potentially be a season ender for Godfrey. Certainly won't be a short term injury
Off the field on a stretcher with his ankle strapped up and gas + air. Fair to say it is.
Just switched on, so didn't see a replay if there was one, how did he get injured?
