Premier League 2023-2024

Rice is better than Fabinho. Not as good as Kante, but Kante missed games thru injury, Rice doesn't.

More than one right winger in the league who causes Trent problems, but Anthony Gordon always seems to skin him at will. I would have preferred Gakpo to start rather than Diaz, but marginal call. Tripper out for Newky, which could well benefit them as he's had 3 awful games in succession. Haven't seen a huge amount of Livramento but he seems like a very good player.

Wont be long before Eddie Howe gets the sack. Heading for 9th league defeat. Have fallen apart since knocked out of champions league.

Think I'll cash out...

Not sure about Rice being better than Fabinho. Rice is a competent footballer in every department but has no outstanding attributes. He makes most teams but I don't think he improves a good side. I'm not even sure he's an upgrade on Xhaka, who turned out quite good in the end after a rubbish start.

With Manchester City and Aston Villa to play in his next two Premier League games he'll do well to survive the chop.

Everton wouldn't have been awarded either of those two penalties yesterday. In fact an everton player would probably have been booked for diving.

Captain Scarlet · January 02, 2024, 04:35:56 PM

I'd say Howe will be gone early in the New Year. I know he has a lot of injuries but you are playing a massively intense sttule of play and the squad can't cope. It's hardly news that Wilson and Isak are prone to injuries either! Still he has done very well overall and he hasn't really splashed all that oil money.

I reckon the January window will see a lot of teams after squad players. Like Spurs will need depth and so will a few more.

United need to keep clearing out lads but also need more solid pros at the same time...
If De Bruyne comes back flying that's like a new signing and Haaland will be firing too, which is ominous.

United need someone who can put the ball in the net at least every other game. Lord knows if they'll be able to find anyone like that this month though.

Casemiro and Martinez will be some additions when they're fit.

As a Liverpool fan what you say is probably 100% correct. Thems the ways - we've not got all the calls either. I'd be more worried about the blind eye turned to Man City.

Like when Calvert Lewin was "tripped" by TAA who was on the ground in front of him with his back to him a couple of seasons back?

Everton are the only club where a player has been retrospectively given a ban for diving or 'simulation'.

100% correct. But then again Everton wouldn't have created such chances in the opposition box, so hard to be awarded penos in such circumstances
