Premier League Festive Season

[SilentWitness]

In all my years supporting Everton I can sense when a momentum killing defeat against one of the leagues worst teams is coming up and tonight's game has that feel.

4 out of our 5 best players out in James, Digne , Richarlison and Allan. The rest of team looks to be running on empty after a tough run of games and you just know Shef United are due a win. Hopefully Carlo can navigate these next two games so we can start to get reinforcements back for the 2nd half of the season.

It’s the exact type of game we are set up to lose, especially with the draw earlier today which was a perfect result for us.

After seeing that graphic showing we are one of the teams with the least amount of rest days I won’t be surprised if we drop points over the next few games which is why that winning run against Leicester, Chelsea and Arsenal was so important.

In lies the problem.

Our chance conversion rate is embarrassingly poor and largely the reason for why we've failed to challenge for trophies in recent years. Martial and Rashford are immensely talented footballers, it has to be said, but the sheer number of opportunities they squander is unacceptable.

Not something I thought I'd say being a City fan but I share that pain dude (albeit with a different team). How clinical Liverpool are is really what sets them apart from both Manchester clubs at the minute.
City had the same xg difference vs Westbrom (1-1) than Liverpool had vs Palace (7-0). Its amazing how profligate both clubs are in front of goal atm. Think with a good run and plenty of starts Cavani might solve a few of you guys problems.

 

[NinjaFletch]

I'd be seething if that wasn't given as a penalty for us.

 

[Blood Mage]

Will be fun watching Arsenal lose again, although I kind of hope that they get a result so they keep Arteta

 

[DRM]

Advantage Liverpool

What advantage? The league is already theirs!

 

[padr81]

Do BBC not have any cameras that were built this century? Awful quality

If they were good enough for the 1972 cup final they are good enough now.

 

[Jippy]

The finishing in this game is actually making ours look good.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Ward-Prowse off the bar from a freekick, good save onto the bar, Adams should have converted the rebound.

 

[Tottenhamguy]

Mings at it again the dirty fecking basterd

 

[48 hours]

Zaha looking like scrappy do

 

[DRM]

Mings has such a cnuty face

I hope Gordon gets a start with Richarlison being out, he feels like he is the only natural replacement we have in the squad in the way he carries the ball.

 

[Samid]

Mings suspended vs Chelsea but back vs us. Of course.

 

[Wilt]

Zara done a job there on thick as cow shit mings

 

[GMok]

After the horror start, I surely thought Fulham was doomed. But they are actually playing better and fighting under Parker. Won vs Leicester, and should have won handsomely against Liverpool.

It will be between them, Burnley and Brighton for the last relegation spot.

 

[JuriM]

Mings suspended vs Chelsea but back vs us. Of course.

Too early

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Tyrone Mings is massive cnut.

 

[londonredmaniac]

Mings at it again the dirty fecking basterd

He's a horrible little cnut.

 

[Sandikan]

Brainless from Mings. Suspect Villa will get away with it though as Palace are gub.

James' still injured? Missed 3 weeks already.

Which is totally wrong. United have one of the best conversion rates in the league and Martial in particular has been an excellent finisher over the last seasons.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Anthony Robinson continues to impress me. Athletic, strong in the tackle and has a good cross

 

[FrankDrebin]

Think Arsenal will get the 3 points today.

 

[Deery]

Think Arsenal will get the 3 points today.

Chelsea are even money surely that’s money in the bank?

 

[DRM]

Think Arsenal will get the 3 points today.

Let's hope so I just can't stand Chelsea or their fans

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

The holiday schedule literally looks like it was drawn up by RAWK:

Right, I haven't got to the bottom of this table and I'm going to guess who's at the bottom...

... nailed it.

Watching Villa game (wife's a Villa fan... but I still married her). Feel sorry for Zaha... imagine being a big strapping footballer but born with a recessive gene that means he only has to receive the slightest touch before collapsing to the ground. Poor lad.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Let's hope so I just can't stand Chelsea or their fans

Because Arsenal fans are so palatable eh? Big mouth cnuts

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Hause makes it 2-0 to Villa. Penalty check at Fulham. No penalty.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

How is that not a penalty? Just how?

Just cancel it all, VAR, refs, football,....

 

[Guy Incognito]

Yep thought Fulham were doomed. Got a fighting chance.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Shane Long scores a beauty and it is ruled out for offside.

Aston Villa are the real deal

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Aston Villa are the real deal

The change from last season is amazing. Polar opposite of what is happening with Sheffield United.

 

[AneRu]

10 men Villa shredding Palace to pieces.

This Arsenal team is their new low. Bottom 5 level.

 

[Snowjoe]

Villa do not look like the team down to 10 men, also that finish was superb

 

[Wilt]

Woy looking bewildered

That has to be one of the worst starting XI's we have ever fielded in the premier league.

 

[duffer]

Mings suspended vs Chelsea but back vs us. Of course.

He's shite, who cares.
