Dare I say it was enjoyable to see a "different" type of game. I want us to get back to controlled performances asap but that game was not dull.
Moss was crap by the real villains were the VAR muppets. Fatty saw the Foden incident in real time - they had as long as they wanted to review the footage and still decided to support the incorrect on-field decision. Difficult to believe it is anything other than corruption.
Others points - let's try to get Mahrez central in front of goal more - awesome calm finishing.
Torres has obviously been practicing finishing with Jesus and Raheem. Should have bagged a couple - wish those chances had fell to Kun.

Very odd game. We have played much better than that this season and dropped points.

Some good individual performances - Mahrez, Foden and Gundogan.

Much better from KDB.

Some average performances - Dias, Laporte and Zin.

Some woeful performances - Bernardo, Fern.

Then there’s Kyle Walker. Fuck knows what category exists for his performance. If we conceded a goal from a Cancelo back-heel, the meltdown on here would be off the scale. I cannot understand a footballer as negative as him, doing back-heels in his own half. Won’t make a forward pass, but is doing back-heels in his own half. BACK-HEELS. Then stands and watches for the 2nd and somehow and for some reason moves AWAY from the guy with the ball, who puts it away. Awful.

John Moss - fat, useless, cheating ****.

Couldn't agree more in regard to Walker. Cancelo makes the same mistakes as Walker but at least he contributes to us attacking..

Straight swap for Neil Pointon wasn't it when Kendall was determined to bring a lot of the then Everton squad to Maine Road ?

I'll always love Pointon for giving it giggs at the swamp.

That non pen was one of the best moments Mike reilly and his band of bent cunts could have used it and said see we will give penalties for players trying to be honest
We all sit here slagging salad and martial off for diving. We'll do you know what that's what we should do if foden stays down screaming he gets a pen

I think whatever happens this season there’s a fairly sizeable rebuild on the cards over the next 12 months. Tonight proved that in some ways. We’ll probably look back at Gundo’s goals in December and January as a pivotal point in the season.

Hats off to Mahrez as I was always against signing him but tonight proves he contributes significantly at key points in games.

A fairly sizeable re-build? Seriously? You seen the average age of our squad??

Great that Pep even managed to get minutes into Serg, Torres and even fucking Mendy!

Pep was pissed after the match. He finally had a go so thats 2 pens guaranteed for Fulham on sat.

On the game: Mahrez and Zin were fantastic. The midfield was still over run which is a concern. Far too many defensive changes caused instability and the mistakes crept in. I can see why he is trying to put Kev in the team but John , Dias , Zin and Cancelo is the stability that we need right now.

Pep is trying to keep them all happy and it is effecting us on the pitch but it’s his problem to solve. If at the end of the season we win multiple trophies It will be justified.

Anyway very welcome 3 points.

Pep did say at the end of the game less rotation from now on, the players who are doing the business will play.
