Caicedo's been absolutely brilliant today.

Sharpest I’ve seen him. Been a good night overall even considering the childish behaviour.

There is that, and one of Jacksons better games. I suppose you could look at it another way they are passionate about getting on the score sheet. 

Still it was embarrassing,  Palmer on pens and now on for the Golden Boot. 

Also what is probably relevant here is that Poch ALWYS takes Noni off. No matter how well he has played and how influential he has been. You could see just now how absolutely desperate Noni was to stay on. And, based on performance, he should have stayed on.

 

Looking back, that was all Jackson.

Am I the only one who thinks its not necessarily a bad thing they all wanted to take the pen? Theyre young and hungry for goals and if there isnt a designated penalty taker you would be desperate to get another goal. This is something Poch needs to sort as its something thats happened before.

Bit extreme telling them to f off, calling them wnkers and be sold. Theyve all played well tonight.

You're not wrong and if it happened just once I would agree but it has happened too many times this season, one of them leading to Sterling missing a penalty. Poch needs to put order in the house.

He always has good games when either Gallagher or Enzo are playing. Both of them playing stifles his game. Poch has to decide between the two.

Better without Enzo maybe ? I think Enzo is great but never really understood his role. 

This is no doubt the best weekend of PL football for some time. Spuds, Pool and Arse all lose, all the teams around us fighting for 6th dropped points and we smash our fixture 5-0.

He does always hook him, I’ll give you that. But maybe it might just send a small message about behaviour. Would he have hooked him otherwise? Maybe, nobody knows. The team have been good overall, some of them had to come off regardless.

Hey Everton, this same side drew here to 10 man Burnley and drew at the same Sheff United that lost 8 zip to Newcastle.

Feel bad, feel embarrassed toffee boys  😉

Was just thinking this is what we should have done to Burnley, Sheff Utd and Brentford.

Maybe bc lots of the players were not bought with a specific role in mind ?

I think Enzo is a talented player that should be playing in Serie A or a similar league. For all his qualities I think he's generally been a liability in our midfield for a while.

Re the penalty. No matter who's been fouled or who's on a hattrick your best man should take it every time. That's Palmer. Goal difference might mean a lot at the end of the season.

This makes those results and performances all the more galling tbh

Caicedo has been top notch!!

86 mins....I think we got this.

Washington actually exists.

I know I’m being greedy but I wish we would be ruthless, put the foot on the neck so to speak.

We've spent the last ten minutes pricking around with the ball since the subs came on.

Keep going give Casedei a chance to show FFS

Don’t be silly. Our best performances this season came with Enzo on the pitch. Against top opposition too.

Yes he would have hooked him. That's what he does. It's the easy option. Madueke is a real talent and IMO Poch's management of him so far has been garbage.

Oh Poch - giving debuts to George and Dyer would be such an easy win here

Now take Jackson off to.

I mean  we are up by 5 and still you won't give decent minutes to Casadei or Washington? 

We have really missed Casadei at Leicester. It still really irks me that he was recalled & not used ..

Gilchrist!!!!!

It's just yet another example of the lack of discipline that has been a blight on this group since Pochettino took over. I don't accept the being young and hungry excuse. Most young players don't behave like that, you're taught very early on the importance of being a team player.

I remember an experienced Drogba and Ballack fighting over a freekick in arguably the greatest ever Chelsea team. That was when Ancelotti was managing, one of the best player managers ever. It was called passion and big team mentality back then. It happens. Important thing was the win.

Wigan final day of the 2010 season too. What made this sh*t weird was Jackson’s involvement. 

ALFIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MY BOYYYYYYYYYY

SO HAPPY FOR THE LAD
