A lot of these PL players I'm seeing for the first time. That Andre Gomes was utter shite.

Great night and atmosphere . Got the all important win. Big Wes superb and Guilbert showed his quality. McGinn and Grealish both improved. In saying all that, Everton were genuinely awful and still missed three absolute sitters. Really hope that's not the type of football we continue to play all season , far too direct and really struggling with the transition from defence into midfield.Heaton 6 - solid night and didn't have much to doGuilbert 7 - very solid after the early yellow, his pace will be a huge addition all season. Got away with a big mistake late on for the Walcott chance mind. Engels 7 - this guy is a good defender, seems slow but never caught out of position. Solid on ball and in the airMings 6 - some great blocks but gave away possession all night. Wild fresh air kick in our box could have been punished, not sure he needed to leave his position for the Walcott chance either.Taylor 6 - solid defensively in fairness but nowhere near good technically with the ball, that cross effort alone was pathetic Luiz 6 - worked hard but didn't get the ball off the back often enough to get us playingMcGinn 7 - good with ball and worked very hard without it with a number of key turnovers. Grealish 7 - decent night after a slow start. Still not at his most fluent but a lot more involved on the ball Jota 6- fine assist but that aside struggled to get involved I thought. Brushed off ball and struggled with pace of the game. Trez 5 - his pace caused problems at times but anonymous for large parts. Not sure about this guy I must say.Wes 9 - fine finish for goal and transformed thereafter . Held ball up brilliantly for us and key for the second goal.El Ghazi 7 - nice finish and looked a threat. Getting dropped might have done the trick . Has far more to his game than our other two wide options . Elmo I can't recall having a kick
They now know that they can win in this league, not against one of the bottom contenders either. It was difficult at times but the Emperor and his deputy were immense. We're taking on board the lessons from the previous two games and that, along with tonight's win can only pay dividends.The crowd were tremendous, really loud and threatening for any team coming here.

Mings might have given the ball away but made some important headers and blocks . Jota played quite well in the first half. Trezeguet didn't have his best game but 5?
Quote from: hilts_coolerking on August 23, 2019, 10:21:32 PMA lot of these PL players I'm seeing for the first time. That Andre Gomes was utter shite.Gomes, Schneiderlin, Richarlison, Bernard, Sigurdsson, Walcott were all genuinely useless (£140m approx combined). Thought Iwobi looked to be carrying timber too. They have spent huge money on that squad in comparison to ours.
I had a dream last night we won 2-0. Oooooo!
