    1st of all - LOLOLOLOLOLOL Deli ALLI was ****ing **** and is a total c*nt, glad he lost ahhahahahahahahaahhahahaa.

    Everton are filthy ****s.

    But on a side note, most of the team were outstanding.

    Difficult to decide on MOTM, but I have to give it Trippier over ASM I'm afraid.

    How the **** did we sign Trippier <laugh> Lets hope Willock and Trippier aren't ****ing injured.

    And a great piece of sexual sill from Bruno...

    IT'S ALL LOOKING UP YOU FAT ****S!!

    Ratings -

    Dubz - 7 - Unlucky for the goal, couldn't do much. Looked calm for the rest of the game and remained composed

    Trippier - MOTM - 10 - Absolutely solid defensively, barely put a foot wrong. Insane tackling, interceptions, and if you score a goal as a defender on top of being solid at the back, you can't expect less than a 10.

    Lascelles - 8 - You cant possibly blame him for that OG. But even though he didn't score, his header basically was the piece of quality that lead to it. He was a bit off positionally at times, but his aerial threat going forward and at the back and his challenges were spot on.

    Schar - 2 - Worst game i've seen from him. Dreadful. Lucky Lascelles was back to avoid a Clarkeseque clanger red card. Hopefully this is just a one off because he's usually been decent.

    Target - 7.5 - Sometimes caught out positionally, but a beautiful cross into the box in the first half and some great challenging and good defending. Looks miles better than Dummett. A good performance.

    Willock - 8.5 - The bloke lacks a bit of finesse in the final third, but he works hard, and benefits MASSIVELY from 3 man Center midfield where he has more space to roam as a box to box CM. He makes some great runs forward. He's not an out and out CDM or CAM he's a box to box mid and he needs freedom to work. 4-4-2 never suited him.

    Shelvey - 5 - Lucky not to get sent off and almost ****ed it up royally. Apart from that, he wasn't terrible, he was just average.

    Joelinton - 8 - Holy **** this guy can't score for ****, but we shoudn't expect him to really. Can't mark him down too much for not scoring if he's not a forward. His midfield play was great.

    Fraser - 9 - Great work rate, caused Everton massive problems, scored, provided a threat a number of times, won the freekick that sealed the deal.

    Wood - 5 - Lacking in confidence. Won some balls in the air at times to provide a way up the pitch but offers little else. 5/10 for the effort and some decent knockdowns.

    ASM - 9.5 - So many great balls into the box and chances created, unlucky not to have a goal. If he'd have scored I'd have given him MOTM. Not his fault his chances were taken by anyone except the smallest player in living history. Created chances, made some great runs and got half the everton team booked or warned.

    Shelvey a 7.
    Fraser 8.
    Schar a 5.
    Wood a 2.

    Rest are fine.

    What did Shelvey do to deserve a 7? He went into his shell after the booking, probably scared to get sent off.

    Schar made so many mistakes tonight.

    Wood won nothing, missed a sitter, was constantly on the back foot and static. He looks like he won a ****ing prize on a Pepsi Max can to play a PL match.

    Schar did some bad, some good. 5.
    Shelvey worked hard, won possession, calmed us down a lot, recycled possession well, was verbal and allowed Joe/Willock to thrive. Good solid 7.

    Agree with Tash. Trippier was sex.

    Schar was horrific tonight but that’s what he is. Always has been. We’ve got his shocker out the way and won on the positive.

    Max was simply unplayable. Fantastic performance.

    Trippier was unbelievably good. He’s top notch. Real leader.

    Lascelles was unlucky with the goal but had another good game. Not convinced but fair enough I can’t knock him when he plays like that. He needed to aswell as Schar was on crack or something.

    Shelvey was up and down. Some of his passing was good but by god he’s lazy.

    Willock 2nd half was outstanding. He was a bit clumsy first half but the ref was **** and gave him **** all. He’s a clever footballer Willock, positional wise he has a good understanding of modern game.

    Shame Wood missed that sitter. I must have watched someone else looking at comments on here. Actually won loads of flick ons, but Max and Fraser looked a bit clueless reading them. Played his part in Fraser’s goal too, nice little ball to release Joe. Still needs to improve but the team winning will help. Worked hard and did well with the closing down. People are just being way too harsh on him for me. He will do a job till Wilson returns.

    Big Joe - he was good but he’s terrible in front of goal. His arse just falls out every time.

    Thought Fraser was good again. Worked really hard for the team.

    Really like Targett actually. Very steady and good quality on the ball. He could be a useful smart addition.

    Dubs was steady.

    My throat is hoarse like. Never sang and screamed so much in my life. Fans were excellent tonight. Atmosphere was electric. Defo makes a difference, Everton looked rattled. Pickford was certainly rattled. We’ve got to keep that going, make it uncomfortable for teams.
