Thoughts.

- First defeat in a long time that I've felt positive rather than thinking we are a boring load of s***e.
- Seems incomprehensible after last season but Ayew has been our worst attacker so far. Not sure he fits this system at all.
- Townsend, Zaha and Eze have all been top notch. You get the sense they're all playing for different motivations (Zaha = transfer, Townsend = new contract, Eze = justify hype) but I'd love to see them start behind Batshuayi.
- We were fortunate against Southampton, deservedly beat United and were hugely unlucky against Everton. These are all top half sides and, based on this evidence, if we strengthen further we could be contending for the top half as well.
- Handball laws are complete bollocks and there are going to be penalties in 80% of games if that was one.
- I would have bit your hand off for 6 points from our opening four fixtures. We've got it already so have a free shot at Chelsea next week. You never know.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Unlucky today. But still not scoring enough goals. Need another striker or midfielder with real skill . Hate losing to them. Hodgson too happy at the end. Also commentators right that they would win. Hate that too. Ancholotti has won 15 titles? Wow ...

Unlucky, can't blame the ref, that's the interpretation they've been told to apply, even though it's BS. Unfortunately it's cost us. Eze looked good, why he was taken off is a mystery, we lost direction after his subbing. Defense will be tighter once Cahill, Dann and Tomkins return but Kouyate doing a fine job filling in at the back.

"Billy Gilbert really is God"

I think you were watching a different match with those ratings.

But we didn't lose did we, they were not going to score when the ball randomly hit Ward were they lol and everyone who follows football knows it, that was a fair score draw and nobody deserved to win it yet as you say Everton will be wanked over like crazy as the greatest thing since flipping sliced bread and our performance will be tossed into the bin all because VAR said so..hate football at times.

Lindelof’s hand was raised, awards was down and in fact I think he was trying to get his arm out of the way. Richarlison would have been offside. Apparently Antony Taylor advised Friend Wards arm was in an unnatural position. Really! Where the f*** is he meant to put it?
