    Let's not overreact too much (unless they get a 4th).

    How is McCarthy starting over Forster?

    It'll ultimately be what defines Ralph tenure, if he doesn't find a way to fix it. It's gone on too long now.

    Spend that Vestergaard money wisely.

    Yeah we’ve been quite good to be honest, just Goodison vibes.

    Same pattern as last season, decent first half but poor second

    Hopefully the results don’t mirror the second half of last season

    To be fair, I'm not sure McCarthy could have done much more for their goal. Think it was Stephens who let him get goal side.

    Really good performance first half and went into the break leading. Completely collapse second half and get comfortably beaten. Only one game but this has been a carbon copy of last season!

    Are we still going with the fitness/small squad/fatigue excuse this year?

    Forster isn’t any better imo.

    Bizarre that we haven’t gone for a gk.

    Good first half. Sloppy equaliser with mistakes from both centre backs. Capitulate and don't make substitutions which is disappointing.

    It is why I don’t think Ralph is as good as a lot make out. I think we start well playing his tactics, have a good first half, then the other team adjusts tactically and we don’t react and get outplayed.

    Im not saying Ralph out or anything just my take on why we have this annoying pattern that keeps repeating

    This one's on Ralph for me.

    Poor decisions in game, despite a much stronger bench, and his blindness to McCarthy faults is going to cost us.
