For their part, Mirallas, Davies, and Vlasic all look like they really want this.

We're very bad at this.

He has no business sliding in that aggressively on the edge of the penalty box. Absolutely no need. Just close him down and prevent a good ball in.

He's at RB. Martina is on the left. You can 100% blame him for that awful challenge.

Cool.

Don't think I've had as little hope for a result in a match in 7 years of following Everton as I have for this one.

Too late to get him?

Everton 0 - 2 Arsenal None

Brighton 1 - 1 Everton DCL

Me either. Happy with the inclusion of Vlasic, DCL and, to an extent, Niasse, but still not our best xi.

It's fair to say bass guitar is an easier instrument at which to be proficient, but probably just as difficult to master as the 6-stringed version.

The last comma in a list that comes before the conjuction. I wish we had Lionel Messi, Alexis Sanchez, and Christiano Ronaldo at Everton football club. The Oxford comma, previously optional but lately deemed neccessary, is the comma after Sanchez.

Good with that.

Because Koeman can't get the starting line-up correct.

Mori is barely serviceable and was the ashley Williams of the last two seasons. Cleverly was absolute garbage and given your disposition against the attacking abilities of Gana and Schneiderlin, you should be ashamed of the comparison. Alvarez, accounting for injury, was the worst defender I've seen in 7 years of following Everton. The only one I can grant you is that Kone could've been a decent backup barring injury.

My limited optimism is jumping at that line-up. Please.

Shit.

The U.S. only desegregated, legally, in the early 1970s, just over 40 years ago. Even with legal desegregation, the history of housing discrimination, the start of the war on drugs (not so subtly a war against black folks [see powder cocaine vs. crack cocaine use and arrests]), the mass incarceration of black men, and systemic bias in nearly all facets of American life (education, policing, housing, job discrimination, etc.), have seriously stunted the prospects of many black Americans, many of whom were still reeling from generations of cyclical poverty after the end of American slavery only a century before. More recently, attention has been drawn specifically to police discrimination against black men, as the ubiquity of camera phones and police cameras have brought to light the police' use of extreme force, especially as it relates to the deaths of many innocent and almost exclusively unarmed black men in police custody (see Mike Brown, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Walter Scott, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, etc.). That's what Colin Kaepernick began protesting by first sitting, then kneeling during the playing of the national anthem before NFL games, and that is what Trump is reacting against. There has also been a dramatic rise in the number of avowed white supremacists, many of whom voted for Trump based on his rhetoric of fear (many white Americans are fearful that they are losing out to minorities as the battle for racial equality becomes more real), and the proliferation of these supremacists concurrent with Trump's presidency (not a coincidence) has left them empowered to organize in a way that bigots have not felt comfortable doing since desegregation. This is obviously a very simplistic answer to a question which can only be answered fully with an immersive study of 300 years of racial oppression in this country, but hopefully it gives you an idea.

Vlasic. Only player who looked 100% sharp.

Sick to my stomach.

Rooney should've been off for DCL at halftime. Created far better once DCL came on. Vlasic and DCL need to be starting every game until they lose their place. What a fucking shame. Can't lose another Europa match or we're likely out.

Oh my God. what a fucking save.

Jesus.

Yeah. Wasn't intentional, but it was a red.

You need to settle down, bud.
