Are they worse than Villa?
They’re fucking Everton.
A couple of things to note.
One, I've heard a fair few people saying TAA had covid in pre season & couldn't train properly so is a couple of weeks behind the others in fitness. That would make sense & will hopefully mean he improves game by game.
Two, there seems to be a pattern of sorts emerging in these no fans games.
When teams lose, what would have been a 2 or 3 nil match becomes much more. The team on top seems to find it much easier to simply take control of the game.
Whether it's because there's little fear of dropping a lead without all the fans watching, or whether it's simply an extension of the 'training ground affect' that seems to allow players to convert more chances & defenders games to drop a few percent, both of which are made clear by the stats, I don't know, but it is a thing.
We'll see a lot more of these weird scorelines I think, & as such I'm not as worried as some seem to be by the villa game. City shipped 5 & Utd shipped 6, whilst losing is bad, it isn't the end of the world.
Three, the nature of that defeat & the scoreline is such that the players will have a massive point to prove.

And we have Adrian in goal, who gets stage fright when he sees a ball.
Yeah agreed on the big scorelines bit - could also suggest there is less feeling of responsibility for the mood of the supporters behind you to keep it a reasonable defeat.
Hopefully we have our own games hitting 6 or 7 past someone to make up for it.
They have Pickford who can’t stretch more than 5 inches.
Our goalie is made of jelly
We'd need to attack his goal first, though, wouldn't we?
Arsenal barely tested him, and even then laca got through a few times. Everton will attack us, quickly and in numbers (like Leeds and villa), so I just don't know if Gomez is up to the challenge based off the last match. I think it could do untold damage to his confidence
Every time we play them recently, the weight of the stats, unbeaten in x etc makes me think that this is the game they finally get a win.
This is that game.
The other one, Klopp has never lost 2 premier league games back to back. That's gotta go at some point.
Tomorrow.

It probably comes down to who has the freshest legs tomorrow after all these cunting International games.
An early Everton goal would be brutal for the confidence of Gomez, Adrian etc.
Really bricking it for this game, and its a good thing there isnt a crowd at Goodison tomorrow for our goalkeeper.

We are both saying they’re both shit. The difference is one is a first choice. We also don’t if Adrian will play. He probably will but we don’t know for sure.
We will start Thiago and Mané. Attacking isn’t going to be an issue.
Yes muthafuckaaaaaaaaa. We’re going to batter them.
No Sadio “Merry Christmas Everton” goal or Origi in this list. Neither were stunning but did shut those cunts up in the final minute. I can’t argue with number 1.
The only really concern is Adrian in goal.
But we have our captain, our best playmaking forward, our world class signing and our CL-winning CB all coming back. Firmino seems back on form. Jota looks on fire.
Everton have doubts over Mina, Coleman, Digne.. and their form has been interrupted by the international break.. they also conceded twice against Brighton and WBA.
We go into this game as favourites. And rightly so.
I expect us to show a big reaction and win this game.

This is the one we lose
I'm braced for it tbh
Tear James a new one early doors taking him out of the game and we will fuck them sideways.
Loving the re-found positivity in the forum and the traditional negativity from Hal.
Everytime I look at the BBC sport website I get a chance to watch the last time Everton beat us. No thanks. Just winds me up and I start to realise how the players will be feeling.
We'll come out like a train and smash them.
