Gallagher gets pressed hard every time he touches it.. Everton doesnt respect his technique.

Gallagher just pisses away too many balls

"Look at what Kova and Chilwell did right before the goal. That's the spirit we need! Just go on and keep the pressure on them!!! P.S. Koulibaly looked like prime JT in first half." Kai's play on the goal was class, great run from his own half, holds it up, takes two defenders and finds Kova

Echoing it... but Kai's been fantastic... man of the half

I like Havertz... but he's not a 9 for pure counter attacking play.

What's our identity?

Sometimes I wonder if Potter's this bad, or if he's trying to get sacked, easy pay day - no work.

Wonder if the halted talks may suggest an ouster for Potter, give the new manager a chance to decide if Mount fits future plans or not.

Really miss Sarri think he would be wonderful with this team. All we do is change every match- too many lineups / formations. I'd like to know how may times this year we started a game with the same personnel in the same system. He's just not decisive enough.

Just wished RLC covered more ground, he did some nice things on the ball tonight but just disappears too much

need to make the extra pass in the box more

"Just now, evissy said: The goal was Potter's fault?" In some ways yes, we committed numbers forward without the pace to counter in the back

"A lot of people are praising our performance in the 1st half. Nah, that was a case of individual (Felix) balling. When you build up with 6 players against West Ham and your best way to progress the ball is asking your best attacker to drop deep and progress. That is not exactly a great performance" You keep wanting our backs up the field high and wide, that only happens if our best attackers come deep to progress. Otherwise all James would be doing is sprinting up and down until gassed. It's very odd criticism to me.

We looked terrible after the subs

He's not much like Werner at all... Werner's touch and take on ability was never very good, he was a lot of pace.

I just think Mounts a player you either build the team around or he struggles. I think he would have performed very well for Sarri in the Kovacic role, added a little more goal scoring threat in that position. But long term I think for him to have a great rest of his career he hast be used more as an 8. As an attacking player he's not top class whether an attacking mid or forward. As a midfielder he very well could be. vs. Att Mid / Wingersvs. Midfielders Statistic Per 90 Percentile Non-Penalty Goals 0.23 52 Non-Penalty xG 0.19 35 Shots Total 2.48 58 Assists 0.26 71 xAG 0.19 39 npxG + xAG 0.39 38 Shot-Creating Actions 4.02 58 Passes Attempted 48.13 76 Pass Completion % 77.6% 57 Progressive Passes 6.73 94 Progressive Carries 2.97 45 Successful Take-Ons 0.85 15 Touches (Att Pen) 3.99 50 Progressive Passes Rec 7.70 52 Tackles 1.75 84 Interceptions 0.41 34 Blocks 1.11 77 Clearances 0.38 50 Aerials won 0.47 45

Is our current plan enzo 6, mount 8, felix 10?

I could see us, last minute paying the release clause, just as a future warning not to play hard ball. Takes any time to find a replacement and it goes down the drain.

depends what portugal law is, the player wouldn't be taxed on the buyout in spain, i believe is capital gain / capital loss - net zero.

I really like the pairing of Felix and Havertz... we need much more behind them, but it's a nice start

Wow Chal... terrible sequence

What's this team do at training? We play so slow; both the pace on the ball and tempo of play

I think cash plus a player swap would help Benfica, as they still have to give a quarter of their earnings to River.

How much is it worth if he helps us qualify for the champions league?

Seems like Hudson Odoi a bit to me... kind of places shots and never really lets it rip
