So good meal and wine in the VIP lounge at Old Trafford but a very average game. McTominy was the best player on the park, read the game well won the 2nd balls all day. DCL played well for Everton no violence and no diving either Zargie, I liked what I saw from him. I cannot say the same about Martial the diving he indulged in was disgusting should have picked up a yellow card or 5 for simulation. Great instinctive finish from Greenwood and Rashford looked dangerous all day. Davies in mf for thr toffees also looked quality but too many average players on both sides.
Only moment of real drama was post game during the port and cheese as they had Arse vs Citeh on the telly and I got a little excited when Citeh scored in the 2nd minute as I for got where I was.
Good day out all in all and no prawn sandwiches in sight...

Good game with Wolves. They are a very good team so it was nice to knick the points and pass them in the league.
Still struggling with the Mourinho appointment but he in a short space of time has got some handle on the poor defending that had beset the club in 2019.
It's going to be an interesting Christmas period starting with that massive game with Chelsea next weekend.
I have a sneaky suspicion that Eriksen will be gone very early in the January window and we may see one or two bought in.

Hope Eriksen does go, taking Aurier and Wanyama with him....oh and Rose.

How did Bournemouth manage that? I assume they had the groundskeeper playing with their current injury list.

I expect you were safe though. That reminded me of times going to Bristol Rovers away games, standing in the Holt end or just anywhere at Milwall and keeping emotions in check.

Tom Davies is one of those players who when they are good they are very good, but he hasn't really had much of a chance to prove it the last couple of seasons, but with the lack of other options, he is taking his opportunity really well. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Moise Kean, who came to the club with really high expectations, but it looks like he isn't prepared to put in the work required to make it at this level. DCL was good as usual, even when he viciously killed DDG on our goal. Playing two up front really helps to get the best from his game.
As for Red Manc, they really weren't anything special. Greenwood looks a decent player, and Rashford had a few chances, but I think a draw was a fair result.

It was a decent result for us considering we barely had any midfielders and not many players total. Holgate was playing CM, and to be fair he did a great job. We also had Cuco Martina and Oumar Niasse on the bench, such was our lack of players.

Hearing rumours that Ancelotti is the next Everton manager.
Also Arteta is the new Arsenal manager.
If both are true, it could be interesting. From what I hear Pep thinks Spud is a ready to be a manager at a top team. But he's going to Arsenal instead.

Genuine lol.
Genuine what the mighty ****. I saw this scrolling this morning. They honestly wonder why they have a problem and get a shit load of abuse for being a nation of racists. It's utterly beyond me. Scum.
