The toffees should have won this game

It seems that with some people on here the best way for a player to be appreciated is not to play. The promise then outweighs the performance, We’ve seen it recently with Kent and Goldson. A couple of weeks ago some were crying out for them to be dropped as their performance was lacking. Then they get injured and we’re told we really miss them. Overall the team is not playing well as a team. In that situation replacing an individual is unlikely to have a significant impact. When the team is playing well and a player is off their game, that is the time to replace them and try someone else. I don’t know how to get the team to play better. The Manger may be right that the problem is being unable to get a settled team. Maybe the tactics need changing. I have no option but to trust that things will improve. I don’t see any alternative to that.

don't understand lundstrum or morelos being dropped. really missing kent.

Like our education system it will be delivered in a substandard way. The government will then produce some statistics to 'demonstrate' some success. The statistics won't stand up to scrutiny. That won't matter since most will ignore them anyway.

The ball used today is a lot lighter than previous times. Maybe today’s players will be less likely to develop dementia from heading the ball than previous generations. If there is a genuine link.

VAR rescues United. @compowill be raging. 1-1. I’m not that pleased myself.

Comparing Ryan Jack to Jim Denny? The latter was a poor man's Alex O'Hara surely.?

Wee sidenote: the racist cries of the kiddies in Prague have been noted over here in Germany too. Sparta - and to some extent UEFA - get it fully in the neck.

For me this is now getting to be a big concern

Ach I’m not really disagreeing. More a turn of phrase to be honest. Just hope we get through Sunday with a win and that gives Gerrard the international break to re-group.

I doubt it. Personally I think it wouldn’t be such a bad thing to play football with feet

Don’t worry my good man, Simpson is eligible to play at CH on Sunday so we are saved.

Boxing might be in bother then. Running wrecks your legs, so that should be looked at. The dangers faced in extreme sports, like mountain climbing...etc. I think taking heading out of youth football might be an idea. Once you become an adult (that's a debate for another day) you should be able to decide whether you want to header the ball. Calvin Bassey seemed to be ahead of the curve last night and has decided to opt out of headers before any rulings are made.
