What a fucking game ... I mean, I don't want to pick MoTM here but there's 3 players who I think stood out big time.

Adrian - 9 - 3 really good saves to ensure we continue the clean sheet streak. Excellent back up goalkeeper.

Williams - 7 - A really solid performance, keeping Everton's left flank rather quiet (most of the danger came from Walcott's side).
Phillips - 7 - he's struggled at times, but was fine overall. He's playing with no real protection, and only Gomez in the backline with some experience. Can't really ask for more?

Gomez - 9 - I mean, he's showing himself as a fucking big time player game after game. Considering how he started the season, the last few games have been unreal.

Milner - n/a - Lets hope it's not a serious injury.

Pedro - 7.5 - struggled at times with the physicality but he moves the ball so well. He's positionally sound, and sees the game well. He should move in the summer back home and he'll be a very solid La Liga CM imo.

Lallana - 9 - He really led the midfield well. Great press, great ball retention, smart use of ball etc ... Impressive performance and he was an example on the pitch the whole game for the kids.

Jones - 8 - until the goal, he was ok. I thought he was ponderous on the ball, and wasn't moving the ball quickly at all. However that goal was sensational and afterward, his play obviously picked up. So happy for him ... great to see more local lads staking their claim to a role in this team's rise.

Elliot - 7.5 - Digne is no slouch, and Elliot really had him worried. Ran his socks off, very disciplined and really smart use of the ball. His corners were shite though.

Minamino - 7 - solid debut. He'll be fine on this team -

Origi - 7.5 - really good performance from big Div too. He loves playing the BlueShite.

SUbs:

Laroucci - 7 - he got stronger as the game wore on and Walcott tired. Hesitant at the beginning but for a debut, can you really complain?

Ox - 7 - welcome back ... glad he's fit and ready to contribute to our thinning midfield lines.

Brewster - n/a - some good touches, and knocked Mina over. Hope he has a good loan spell.
 
enjoy the wallow and despair

[article]It's like they come up with more and more ways to embarrass us in this fixture. Probably play the women's team next season.[/article]
ha ha ha
 
Our kids, plus gomez & Lallana, just beat Evertons entire first team. Just let that sink in.

Hahahahaha.

Come on don’t be daft,

We had Adrian, Gomez, Lallana, Milner (who made a big interception before going off), Origi, Minamino + A couple who are 22.
Not exactly kids.

Still a crazy win like but no need to hyperbole it even more.

Milner played 5 minutes.

Williams - kid
Phillips - 1st start, 22 but a kid.
Laroucci - kid

Pedro - 23? but rarely ever players at this level, kid.
Jones - kid
Elliot - baby

6 kids & a debutant.

I get what you're saying but still:
Neco 18
Larouci 19
Jones 18
Elliott 16
Brewster 19

That's something.

Dude we made 11 changes, they made 1-2 which probably strengthened them & we still won.

It's a huge huge win.

Which is still very different from 2+ kids.

Still a huge statement again for the rest of England
 
Amazing performance. There's a huge amount of talent in the reserves but they don't get tested enough at that level. Jones - lovely goal. He's a cocky little fecker but that's not a bad thing, he just needs to fill out and build up his strength but he's a good prospect. Chirivella is a clever player - it's just a shame he's behind so many exceptional players, but he's got real talent. Phillips showed why the coaching staff want him to have a chance to progress - he's a very good defender. Elliott - he's just ridiculous for that age. The beauty of it is he's such a massive fan he'll do anything he's told, so he's going to improve rapidly. Well done to the senior players, each of whom played like mad to help the others.
 
one yellow card must be a record for this fixture surely.
Thats because the ref kept the cards in his pocket. I saw several cynical fouls that should have been carded. Example the foul on Jones by Schneiderlin.
 
Also jokes aside are we being harsh on tRex?

That goal was a little like Henderson’s against Chelsea away in terms of dipping in under the cross bar.

Can you really expect any keeper to get to that when the starting position is a few yards off their line?

A taller keeper would have had a finger on it from Pickford's position.

It certainly is.

Neco I thought was excellent
Jones and Elliott very good
Larouci poor
Brewster was only on for a min

In that case can someone please tell Elliott to lose the hair sculpture? Or might that produce a Samson effect? 😉
 
Wow Jones actually moaned about him sitting on the bench after playing well in a match. Did he not see the level we are playing now with the senior boys?

Would you please just shut the fuck up and take the piss out of those tragic cunts like the rest of us?
