 Moshiri on TalkSport today:

"I think the Premier League should deduct points from these clubs. This is six clubs attacking the very heart of the Premier League and I think they should be disciplined."

Link below to interview.

"Six clubs acting entirely in their own interests. Six clubs tarnishing the reputation of our league and the game. Six clubs choosing to disrespect every other club with whom they sit around the Premier League table."

"The self-proclaimed Super Six..." 

"This preposterous arrogance is not wanted..." 

Such venom throughout the statement, I love it.

Unfortunately it’s hard to legislate for 2 comical moments like that, especially from one of the improved players this season. 

As much as Keane was at fault, I always feel like we look really uncomfortable defending whenever Holgate is on the field (either RB or CB).

Hopefully next season, with a new RB & cover for LB, Keane and Godfrey can make a good partnership in centre defence for us. Godfrey has the potential to be a world class in that position. We've really lucked out on him as there isn’t many quality CBs to go around at the minute. Thank god Gabriel turned us down for Arsenal.

On that note - it's difficult to pick between James and Godfrey for player of the season for me. I think Godfrey just edges it with the games James has missed. Such an important player for us already and so versatile.

At one point he played one of those threaded balls through the Spurs defence and Alderweireld went totally the wrong way for it. It made me laugh. Watching him play football brings me joy.

When Alderweireld followed Sigurdsson making the run on the outside and James played it through to Richarlison in the centre? 

It totally did me too let alone Alderweireld. He played the pass and my brain made my eyes follow a make believe ball to Siggy. 

The team we saw play at the start of the season when all fit give me an inclination of where we are at ability-wise. 

If we can add a replacement for the Gomes/Sigurdsson role and a new RB along with a little more depth I have no doubt we will vastly improve next season. The names we've been linked with (Koulibaly/Isco etc) are really exciting and we all know Carlo is able to get big names through the door.

@pete0has admitted Gana was/is a great player, @Romey 1878wants to give Gylfi a new contract, @Hafniawants to re-sign Lukaku and @Palfyactually posted something that made sense (only the once like). That aside business as usual.

2 hours I've been back and you've already started World War III.

Where the fuck have you been?!

I was all ready for my cameo return and sent my post too early by accident

A completely different game to what we saw at the start of the season when arguably our strongest squad started, something which cannot be said of many games this season.

Richarlison was completely unplayable that day, and it seems from the initial handful of games his form has really dwindled this season in the league. If I remember correctly he made 11 dribbles in the reverse fixture. It felt like a taste of what's to come. Unfortunately our squad just hasn't got enough depth to keep that quality in performances.

It really does feel like the season is pretty much over for us, and once again we look to next year to finally witness this "sleeping giant" rise up.

I hope we can get the result and pray other teams around us fall off, allowing us to look to a European spot.

I’m hoping to see some players return and give some good performances. Despite however many points we achieve towards the end of the campaign it is important we keep trying to put on as best performance we can, and carry that over into next season.

Back to normality being an Everton fan again.

Iwobi is starting to show why he shouldn't play right back. He is having a good go though to be fair to him.

I thought he's done well enough considering.

No, I don't subscribe to that being why. It hasn't just been brought in for this game, he's done it before and we've looked like clowns playing it.

I don't think he wants to play it but saw this game as one which it would be more effective in.

No what.

I don't know how many times I have to say this but FUCK 3 AT THE BACK OFF!

Think carlo only played it because of burnleys two strikers. Id be really disappointed to see us playing it next week. 

Kind of fitting that the goal starts with Doucoure and Allan getting in each others eay in midfield. 

Thats good. Only 2 fit fullbacks in the team and neither anywhere near the squad. 

Rediculos, yet again another questionable decision from Carlo. 

These players aren't comfortable playing this formation. Simple as that. 

On a side note that's 3 attacks Burnley have stopped and not a single caution. 

Our pressing us ineffective 

Not the best pass from Alan but I always feel like the players around him aren't on the same wave length. Doucoure didn't anticipate having the ball passed to him. 

Im expecting a difficult game today. As long as we get 3 points im not too bothered about the performance. 

Thought carlo said Neils will get his chance this week? Not even on the bench! 

It wouldn't surprise me to see 3 at the back again today to negate Burnleys strength in their two strikers. 

Burnley 0 - 1 Everton 

DCL

Watch this be the end of bramley moore, how devastating would that be.
