Other than a few mega transfers have clubs spent this off season? Like i said Everton have only spent £1.5m this season so far. Probably a year of financial consolidation for most clubs except the 3 wealthy clubs.

Rodrigo on the bench and Klich taking his role.
For me Rodrigo is an out and out striker and should come on if Bamford isn`t firing.
Not saying he will do any better but for me he plays up front or on the bench.

Agree Chapy

not a shock to see cooper give a penalty away for pulling and holding. something he has done over his career

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Aug 21, 2021 4:18 pm  

Decent point in the end, and a much improved performance. We need to cut the errors out, but it's a step in the right direction

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Aug 21, 2021 4:30 pm  

decent point. if we get 3 next week not a bad start. still need a quality midfielder for me though

Totally agree he let CL get on the wrong side and pulled him back from scoring.
I also thought Bamford was poor once again his first touch letting him down at least 3 times.
Good assist for Klich`s goal but was bullied by Mina all game.
Phillips and Raphina second half our best 2.
Also said at the start of the season Gray was a steal and a better option than Costa and for less than 2 mill.

Yep good point that. 70% possession but Everton had more shots on target is a concern though. Need Llorente back. Cooper needs to smarten up. Burnley played quite well v Liverpool today that won’t be easy but if we play well we get 3 points

Can’t understand Bielsa loyalty to Costa. He’s championship at best. Totally agree re Gray. Missed one there

I do wonder what team we will put out on Tuesday v Crewe. I reckon we will see a sprinkle of FT players involved. Looking forward to it, looking like it’ll be a sell out now
