We play better against the better sides, they attack so we have some room to exploit. Our problems seem to be with the teams directly in and around us, and thankfully we've played everyone bar Man City away already, they've all got to come to us in the run in.

Everton are shite, but Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal all failed to beat them over Christmas. Don't be too quick to write off that result and performance last night.

Very good point, they also beat the mighty Wulvz 4-0 at Goodison last month.

Yeah I know, I didn't think it needed mentioning as it's two days away.

I don't really have that much of a problem with Everton, but selling "Make Everton Great Again" hats? Fuck off. For a club with a somewhat dodgy record of racism back in the day, co-opting the slogan of a Nazi prick isn't a good look.

Objectively, an Everton relegation would clearly be more exciting than the promoted three going straight back down for the second season in a row, though I would be happier getting rid of Man U or, more realistically, Wolves, given the choice.

A city rather than just the club itself, though that aspect gets swept under the carpet.

Nah, both. They used to sing "Everton are white" when they were the last team to have any Black players.

Oh I know, but Liverpool's record with black players was not much better, and the city itself seemed almost segregated to me.

I see what you mean now. Thought you were saying the city but not Everton rather than the city including both its well known football teams.

I am not too disappointed that we “only” won 1-0. Nor that they had a spell at the end when we had to dig in. I think we fans sometimes forget that how well you play and the result you get isn’t just about your players and your tactics. The opposition gets a say in the matter too.
There are very few games where you can just rock up and help yourself to the three points.

Liverpool was a strange place - the most left-wing city inbthe country but also fiercely racist. One of the oldest black communities but also the most segregated.

I think, sadly, there was a strain of Trade Unionism that conflated protection of jobs (fair enough) with keeping non-white people out of their jobs and ideally out of the country altogether (not so fair enough). See also: Bristol bus boycott.

I am slightly puzzled as to why Unai didn’t use more subs. If only to break up the play a bit at the end.

Because he didn't need to.

The amount of games coming up would be one reason.

Recency bias, maybe. We made a load of subs against Forest and fucked it up.

I made the same comment after the Brighton game. He made subs against Forest and Bournemouth and people complained he had made the wrong subs when they score last minute goals. He doesn't against Brighton and people moaned he hadn't when we concede late on again.

Although I was worried the crowd would get Onana sent off AND Duran might have gave them something to think about at the end.

Maatsen on the run really fast at Ashley Young might have been a useful outlet when we were under the cosh a bit too.

Either way, all's well that ends well.

As shite as they are, there are worse teams.
