People talk about Potter not being able to survive a poor run at the Amex if fans were there but Burnley haven't won at home for months and I don't hear any Burnley fans calling for his sacking. I'm not sure that there'd be as much as a reaction against Potter as some people think

They would be pretty harsh calling for potter to be sacked as we were only responsible for the one defeat !!

It’s a total waste of time mega dull and zero ambition Norwich being in the PL.

I know I’ll get the usual Norwich are a really well run club blah blah etc response but they resigned themselves to Championship football again next season the moment they sold their best player by a mile to a mid table also-ran. A team who they should be aiming to try and finish above or at least close to.

Still can’t believe the Norwich fans praising their transfer window, their squad is pathetically weak. Hope they stay down next season rather than wasting time taking up a place in the PL in 2023/2024.

Over the entirety of the season I'm sure it won't be too long before their failure is laid bare.
But I still can't name a full pack of 19 Premier League teams comfortably better than them (despite today's poor, poor result in a 'must win' game).

Blimey Villa 3-0 up against Everton, didn’t see that coming

odd that on Monday FSW was getting plaudits for his inspired changes in the second half v Burnley and then a few day s late after a flat 1st half this happens.

it's almost as if there's an element of nonsense involved

 

[Stat Brother]

Oh well, we can't have all our own way.

Would have loved to have played this Everton side.

When they're on form, there's some very good teams in this division (and there's Norwich). There's a reason it's the Premier division

Not sure how much you can read into a win against Everton reserves.

A lot of smiling happy faces in that picture. They must really really enjoy a bit of goading.

We could finish tomorrow anywhere between top and 9th.

A win and we are definitely top 4,

6 changes from the team that beat us, including the scorers of both their goals...!

Well why didn't they play their reserves against us ? A fair proportion of ours where the U23

Agreed. There are some strange results today. Man City So-ton 0-0. And then there's Villa. Before the game, I looked at the Everton line-up, and thought 'That's a good side. They're going to dominate Villa'. You could take the view that I was wrong (with some justification, mainly the result), or that it's a good job I'm not a football manager, but maybe the league is still in the process of settling down. Look at Brentford. On paper, Wolves should have walked past them.

Is it a matter of 'when they're on form', most PL teams are capable of beating anyone in front of them?

You know what we're like, get within striking distance of the the teams above us and choke like a dog.

It'll be just our luck we finish the game in 6th.




Oh the humanity!!!

Tyrone picking up his clean sheet bonus tells you all you need to know about today's Everton side.

Too busy making other noises

I turned over bored of watching a game heading for a 0-0. Later finding out the score.
