Just wonderful!!!

Absolute breath of fresh air after the drudgery of the last 6 months of last season.

We’ve got a seriously exciting coach and squad.

Same start as last season's, then. Let's hope the momentum isn't stopped dead in its tracks with injuries, this time.

What time is kick off? Still very quiet here at the Amex

 

[Birdie Boy]

Apart from being a bit shaky down the wings when defending, great start to the campaign. How many said let's see how we do against a Dyche team after the pre-season friendlies? Well, now we know!

 

[Sussexscots]

Yyyaaaassss! Ya absolute feckin' dancer!

Tremendous start for us and the new boss and delighted to give Everton an overdue hoofing in their own back yard.

Crap first 20 minutes but the remainder of the game was class.

If we can add a couple of defensive signings then we'll have some team!

Everton looked very poor at times, a bit too fixated on the long diagonal out to Harrison who invariably wasted the crossing opportunities. Pickford and his little arms aided goals two and three.

Always going to be hamstrung with Pickford in goal; a ‘keeper with normal length arms would have definitely saved the second.

Saw Minteh got subbed after 47 mins.... Is he okay Hope that was just tactical and nothing more.

Concussion according to NSC.

Concussion.

Concussion. The fact he was fuming to be taken off is a good sign, he obviously didn’t feel too out of it.

Adingra had something to prove when he came on. Almost got the goal & assist double.

Good to see that- wondered if he might sulk as was not starting but did his usual stuff

Odds on a Gary Linker interview with Fabian tonight on MOTD and Lineker’s first words being: “Easy this Premier League lark isn’t it?!”?

Friends

I missed coverage of the whole game. Delighted with the result.

Can someone give me a quick summary

What formation was it?
Who played left back?
Who was better than expected?
Did anyone struggle?

Cheers

Wieffer actually impressed me. Few stray passes but he’ll pick up the pace. He does strike me as the kind of strong niggly player the numpties of NSC won’t see the value of though. The Dale Stephens effect.

I thought he had a really poor game - seemed to be trying too hard and as a result his passing was woeful. Hopefully just a case of settling in though. Edit - maybe I'm one of those numpties.

Jump around if you're top of the league.

Good performance. Not the best first half but in the second the boys showed they're a level above.
