Having a nice time on the way to meeting up with the Belgium squad.



I wonder if he likes The Ting Tings.

I think it was just a dead leg.

He has had an incredible start, I’m so impressed by all aspects of his game.

He’s a bit of a superstar and with Morgs, we are unbeatable 👍

This has the potential to be the new why didn't GaryBarry let the keeper parry the penalty.

Was Barry the tall or the short Chuckle Brother?

Yes.

It’s early days for Onana yet, albeit he’s enjoyed a flying start to life at Villa Park, and he admits he’s noticed the step up from Everton straight away.

“This is just a different style of football,” he said.

“We have to be at the club at half past nine. The training starts at eleven o’clock. We train for a long time. Unai Emery is truly a tactical freak. As a result, the training sessions can sometimes take a long time, but I prefer this.

“Here we play more on ball possession. You usually stay on the ball much longer. Sean Dyche wanted to see more direct football. Long balls. Lots of second balls. With the national team we also play a bit more on ball possession and I get the ball more. Suits me a little bit better.

“It is the fourth in the Premier League. With a top coach. With top players. It is a top club. I think I am where I should be. I made good use of the European Championships to take this step. I performed well there.”

That's a lot of words to say Dyche is shit.

That the way I used to play and I wasn't a footballer, might give Dyche a call

Very impressed with Onana, future captain if he sticks around.

I love this niche type of football trope - player goes away on international duty and is much more loose-lipped when talking about his club to his home country journalists.                     
It always happens, it's feckin' great. And he's right. Unai is a freak.

My heart used to sink when Gregory or O'Neill signed another brick shithouse but this guy seems special (and I trust Emery with all kinds of shithouses, especially brick ones).

Every good game he has for us (all of them so far) just seems to increase the number of Everton fans screeching "ah, he'll go to shit eventually." Bitter twats.
