The irony of these two posts within a few hours of each other.

What a strike.

Too easy to get around Coleman. We need a new RB.

Zonal doesn’t mean you just stand there watching the ball when you’re closest to it, though. You still have to react. We’re just objectively awful at it.

Agreed. But extremely typical of the type we’re so fond of giving away.

DCL played him on. And Pickford was impeded by Keane I think... not a Burnley player.

We ball watch so goddamn much. It’s unreal. What is DCL doing there? He plays a Burnley player onside after just standing at the near post and watching Gibson pick up the ball after a block.

This is beautiful. Oliver making up for not giving that foul on Walcott by doing his goddamn job and spotting that penalty.

After lineup announcement, changing prediction to: Burnley 1 - 2 Everton DCL

Burnley 1 - 3 Everton Richarlison

Everton 1 - 2 Spurs Siggy

Agreed. It’s frustrating as hell but there are far too many inconsistencies and immeasurables to make fantasy soccer a good game. I’ve tried the past couple years but I just can’t get into it. Hopefully they’ll work it out. I like the draft system better but I was working during the ToffeeTalk draft and ended up with the shittiest squad in the league by a good measure, so I had to quit. And yeah, Mahomes has been incredible. I have him in 2/3 leagues. Unfortunately I also had Le’veon Bell in one of them.

Yeah Mayfield’s a bit of a dick, though. Chubb I like a lot. There’s a lot of good talent there. I’d love to see them do well.

First, to get pedantry out of the way, Baltimore is a city in the state of Maryland. The Oakland Raiders are moving to Vegas in the off-season, so they will have a team soon. Lastly, I wouldn’t say Mahomes came out of nowhere. They managed him well, but he was taken with the 10th pick in the 2017 draft as the 2nd quarterback (only one additional quarterback was taken until late into the third round - the other two being Mitchell Trubisky and Deshaun Watson). In college, he set single game NCAA records for most offensive yards in a game and most passing yards in a game, and led the country in total offensive yards, passing yards and touchdowns in his final season. The only reason he didn’t get rookie hype was that the Chiefs smartly waited for him to learn the offense in his rookie season as they had a very capable veteran QB in Alex Smith for him to learn from. As soon as the season was over, they let Smith leave for the Redskins because Mahomes was always their plan for the future.

City 2 - 0 Everton none

Bad argument to say let’s not emulate the best team in the world. I agree that Man City aren’t a bunch of pansies, but they surely don’t boss the pitch with physicality. They’re a manipulative, incredibly well coached and chippy bunch but that doesn’t neccesarily translate to what it seems like you’re arguing for, and I think you’re moving the goalposts on Mark a little here. We have plenty of size in the team; we just need a winning and aggressive mentality. We can’t be victims anymore.

I was living there 20 years ago, so maybe we passed each other as the entire city is built on a seven mile stretch of the highway and there’s little to nothing off that stretch. I’d never even heard of Westport even though it’s a short jaunt from where some relatives lived; Lincoln City is a little further south directly west of the capital, Salem. Yeah the U.S. is not very original with names. The majority of our town names are stolen from either you lot, the natives we stole the land from, or after early presidents and then repeated ad infinitum in each state. Lincoln City was actually seven small towns that incorporated together in the 1960s and the name was chosen from contest entries. Not the most romantic way to be named.

I still think Onyekuru will be class if he's ever allowed to play for us. Not to say it wouldn't be nice to have another striker, but if he gets his work permit, but I think we'll find ourselves in a pretty good position next season if we're able to retain Gomes and sign a replacement for Coleman.

That's fair. Not quite like the Lincoln City on the Oregon coast. A little more picturesque where I grew up. Lincoln Cathedral does look pretty badass, though.

I grew up in a town called Lincoln City in the states, so I've always been a little curious about their club.

Everton 2 - 1 Watford Siggy

I’ve never felt an Everton squad to be less threatening from set pieces and we had a manager for three years who wouldn’t even practice them.

How have we not gotten a head on a single one of these corners?!?! This is embarrassing.

Mason is at risk of letting this one get away. Can’t let a player grab at jerseys like just happened with Lookman and then walk away. Newcastle is starting to play a little dirty in order to frustrate.
