    Can always hope for an Everton own goal, I guess, they happen when we play them normally, right?

    I hope all the players donate their salaries this week to K's preferred charity.

    Well, we need to sort this out soon. This was supposed to be a relatively fruitful opening month; can't afford to drop too many more points before the Europa games come thick and fast.

    Give over. Using the man's death as a stick to beat the players? Jesus Christ.

    Stream has dropped out. Can't be added to set it up again. Ft 0 - 2?

    Thankfully this has happened right at the beginning of the season so there is time to see the clear imbalance on the pitch. The midfield is not right and we have made Everton look much better than they are.

    No, because it's currently 0-3.

    Calm down everyone, we have still had chances, this is a team decimated by sales and injuries.
    We can only improve, and we will.

    They outplayed us, we had a badly devised game plan and it's no wonder it backfired on us. Everton is one of the teams in the PL against which is suicidal to leave so much free space in the defense, with powerful and fast runners like Lukaku and Barkley you're asking for trouble.

    Is this why we have bid for Koulibaly and Van Dijk? We need another cm badly.

    Bad one. Plenty of work still needed in the transfer window.

    I take these first few games as getting a good look at the team and seeing what works/doesn't work. Gives Ron a chance to tinker with things that don't work, and I think in some ways it's better to lose 0-3 than 0-1 because it makes it more obvious where the weaknesses are and we can work on rectifying them. It's all a learning curve. I'm sure we'll improve, too.

    Besides, if I remember correctly, last season we played really well against Liverpool in the first game but were atrocious in the second game and it was all doom and gloom. We still finished well in the end!

    Some of the reactions on here are completely mental.

    "Donate their salaries"? Do me a favour, we haven't been that bad. Utterly childish reactions. It's one game FFS.

    What? You can't blame this result on Europa.

    We played very badly and went out with a poor tactical approach. It shows that we do need to invest in this squad further and that it will be very important to get injured players back as soon as possible. Only the second game so no need to panic just yet.

    IF Marcus is watching this trhraed
    No NO , not at all , just think we need to concentrate on the PL , if we do well in the EL , that will IMHO impact on us in the PL .

    I fully appreciate I am in a majority of one !
