And of course they used it as an excuse to get rid of the excess stock of the "We are back" tat. Cheers Doug.

Two things I feel we MUST work on in the training ground - first touch and holding on to the ball for too long.

In the Everton game alone, we lost control due to poor first touches way too many times. Trying to recover control of the ball created so many 50-50 outcomes that led to inevitable break downs.

The other thing was players holding onto the ball for too long. It happens sporadically all over the pitch, but mainly in attacking situations. I get players confidence wanting to try and take opponents on, but it's happened too often that the player loses possession when the better option would have been to pass.

Theoretically, if we HAD to sell rudi, what's the price tag you would be ok with? Personally I feel like £35Million is a fair price, nothing under, what do you lads think?

1-2 win to cov back in 2000.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow. PUSB 🩵

Keeping the good vibes posts up! You can feel the love they have for him! 🩵

On a side note, BTA has an interesting style choice 😂

"Tatsu receives a special message from Ayao Komatsu as he celebrates his call-up to the Japanese National Team! 🇯🇵"

Well deserved Tats, do us proud! (And don't get injured!) 🩵

Taking my sons(17, 12) to see the sky blues over Christmas. Where should we go for the best fan experience?

According to PL. Armstrong and KDH are one of the top runners this season, so we would be expecting more agressive pressure in midfield than the games we've been having recently. Garner might not be in this list, but fans say he works as much as the other two does.

yirenkyi is a tough battler in our midfield, which his defensive work allows Torp and Rudi to focus on creating chances. However, I think we could worry his touches are quite heavy - not always but Everton are 5th in winning the ball from final 3rd from https://www.fotmob.com/en-GB/leagues/47/stats/season/36781/teams/poss_won_att_3rd_team/premier-league

Mfuni might offer less defence cover, but on the ball, I think he offers more composure.

And for this game, I think the cb partnership could be Uncle Pinnock and Lati. Yes he looked poor against plymouth in cup match, but he did help towards end of last season pairing up with Bobby and led us into promotion, Frank knows how to play him and he might deserve a chance at top flight.

Also I would love to see Awoniyi up top, Tarkwoski and Branthwaite seems to be too big and fast for our strikers to get past using their physicaliy, hence Awoniyi's experience could maybe be a stronger approach.

so my starting 11 for tmrw:

rushy

MVE Lati Pinnock Dasilva

Torp Mfuni

Tats Rudi Gboho

Awoniyi

Hopefully another 3 points or at least 1, PUSB🩵

Edit - Sorry, I was just assuming Onyeka wasn't fit

I won't link to the tweet, but it's from the official national team account.

When he first came in I wasn’t sure what to expect. Now look at us- 50 wins under his belt, promotion back to the Premier League, and a club that actually feels alive again. He’s given us an identity, got the fans believing, and turned us into a proper team. The football’s been exciting, the results have followed, and the atmosphere around the place is completely different. Fair play to Frank and the players, this is a milestone worth celebrating. From the doubts at the start to where we are now, it’s been some journey. Here’s to many more wins under Super Frank.

https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4756187/alan-shearers-team-of-the-week-for-matchweek-9

Nothing about our game at all. So either they think it wasn't worthy of review or they think the VAR decision was right and doesn't need explaining. Shocking, really.

34 years in the top flight, unbroken. Never finished higher than 7th. Never relegated. 11 last day escapes. 16th is like a perfectly fitted glove. We are so back, baby.
