Very well written Ed. Right on point too. Do the United contingent get the same game report?
{Ed001's Note - yes Flash they do. I am surprised how well received it has been on there.}

Denial and delusion must have limits I guess Ed001. Even among Man U fans.

Great review as usual Ed1. Really enjoy reading it especially after win against the Mancs. I do wondered how many time you watch each matches to make those reviews? Must be fun when we are winning and suck when we are losing I would think.
{Ed001's Note - usually twice. If I can, I watch it more often.}

Let's be honest Everton the way they are playing at the moment actually have a realistic chance of going down especially with dyche at the helm at least they will have the best stadium in the championship ship. my Scottish team is top of the championship and im a red life cannot get much better except more of a pay rise than the 5% we have been offered or maybe 6 numbers on a Friday nite euro lottery.

Nice one, Ed. It feels good to see some tactics on the pitch again. I have been extremely critical of the last coaching team desperately needing some new blood. Unfortunately, we had to lose Klopp to get that change.
Really happy to see the criticism of Lucho and clamour for Anthony Gordon fall away. I genuinely believe there is a lot more to come from Lucho with a bit more coaching.
Have to admit, I was impressed with the controlled intensity Robbo put in. I wasn't sure he had that. Still worry about his body position when receiving passes from all angles, but maybe there is some time for him to improve on that too.
Ibou and Old Trafford are a match made in heaven. When Ibou is on this form, he is able to single handedly control a quarter of the pitch alone. There's no defender in world football like him in that respect. Just need to improve his availability.
I thought Trent's attacking game was a bit limited. He fired off a couple of risky balls that were turned over. Defensively, he did well. Look forward to seeing him find the right balance.
Szobo looks right on it. Selfless. Physically incredible. A couple of times he anticipated a mistake from his teammate and made lung bursting recovery runs - a no10 doing recovery runs - insane really. There were a couple of opportunities for him to let fly when running at the goal centrally. Hopefully he feels better about attempting those in the near future.
Gravy - honestly, I am so impressed with his off the ball work and positioning. We always knew he has great tight space control and then that rangey carrying ability. However, the concern was his aggression and focus. If the coaches can get that right, then we have some player. don't want to get too carried away yet, but he's been impressive and has certainly proved me wrong.
Virgil, Mo, Alisson, Macca - well, they are just beasts casually doing things in beastmode.
And lastly, Man Utd are rubbish. How ETH is still in a job, I'll never know. They clearly don't rate him given they were out there talking to Tuchel etc. Then the way they celebrate these really poorly thought out signings like they now have geniuses in charge. They are one more summer window away from reforming the Ajax team from 2018/ 19. Who, by the way, would finish about 10th in the Premier League. Go ETH. Go INEOS. Go Man Utd. Long may it continue.

It's funny ypu say that Rab but Everton looked a dofferent team for 80 odd minutes at the weekend, although the opposition were abject.
The Blues actually looked half decent.
Thank God the game lasts 90 minutes.
{Ed025's Note - we did look good for 86 minutes Flash and could well have been 4 goals up by then, yes it went tits up mate but i seen enough to think we might just have enough to stay up..

If they can replicate that Ed I've no doubt they'll be safe, and handily at that.
It's a monumental sized IF though.
{Ed025's Note - very much so Flash..
