I know what you mean to be honest and can understand what you're saying. I think they both play in the same position and when KdB is on form, he is different class to Gundogan.

I think Gundogan is probably the best 'forward' we have though - when he plays up front he seems to find space better than anyone else!

I would love to see a few more of them chipped assists in the box he was doing a few years ago.Gundog that is.

Maybe Pickford will take someone out again. That's about as much of a contribution Everton can make to this title fight, it's 3 points to Liverpool every day of the week.

I would be happy if he doesn’t throw a 94th minute one into his own net like he did a few season ago against them.

“Just make sure you beat those insufferable pricks to the title Pep”

 

[andyhinch]

Do we ? Or do you mean you do ?

We won 3-0 tonight despite not scoring until 53 minutes ;-)

It could have been 5, 6, or 7 in reality, remember the Leicester game a few years ago, and Vinny, wasn't "early".

Suggest you grow a set.

I’m still shouting don’t shoot in my head tbf and I was sat right behind it.

We still need that early goal in every game we play otherwise we panic and lose our composure, as was evident in the first half display tonight. Pep obviously had words at the break and that 2nd half was so much better, expecting the same again on Saturday tbqh. Great win lads, but we can improve so much more still

Wow. Possibly no other side in world football keeps their composure better than us and doesn’t panic when we haven’t scored. Tonight was a good example.

I did too, glad he did, but I still think this team would have found a way.

I'm confident we will "find a way" this year too, we are the better team, despite the media love in.

Clueless really, and just comments on his own emotions, I was never worried tonight.

I really want this one (and the champions league) because of the unbalanced fawning Liverpool are getting this year. We should have beaten them twice and we’d be 9 points ahead and home and hosed if we hadn’t been both unlucky and robbed by the ref in both games.

I still believe we will win both and it will be one of the sweetest seasons in our history.

It's the hope that will kill the Dippers

 

[meltonblue]

Hope Stones is ok, think he’s been absolutely brilliant the last few months.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

It sure is... hook it up into my veins, I can take it!!!

Agree. I love this bit f the season!

 

[Chris B]

Looking at it from the other side, imagine being Liverpool (if that’s not too unpleasant a thought). They must feel that they are running out of road now. Almost like the league title is slipping away (pun intended) and there’s nothing they can do about it.

They’re convinced they’re the best team and they are in great form but so what? They might well still lose. It must be demoralising, to be so close and playing as well as they can, but not able to actually get to the top properly.

Every game we win now is a big blow to them, even if it is a scruffy one-nil against Watford, for example.

I was a bit worried about a freak goal until we scored but old habits die hard.

I hope you are right, but I don't trust officialdom unfortunately, but I'm confident about our squad doing all they can.

Well said Dave

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Proud of the lads tonight. Found a bit extra when we needed it. If we end up potless it won't be due to a lack of bottle.

Totally agree. Graft is there for all to see

They do, and we (FOC's) have many "old habits" to remember.

There was a lad sat at our table tonight, same age as my daughter, god I felt old :-)
