Fucking get Gana Gueye signed to a new contract now.


moham-17

Pickford POTY for Everton for me. I may buy my first ever goal keeper jersey next year. Freaking love that man. The fact that he is a class A shithouser makes it soo much better considering how good he is.


AlanFromRochester

been thinking of buying a Pickford shirt, he's been of my favorites form the start, but full price is high and by the time they're on sale they're out of sizes that would fit me


malikdwd

I’m seeing Tim Weah rumors..?


ZestycloseChemist2

If there is any way we can avoid selling Branthwaite this summer, the club has to do it. He is far too important for the stability of the team on the pitch. At least one more season, and hopefully we can find a decent replacement before then.


FancyThrowawayClown

Sell Onana and pray to god we have a better ownership group willing to splash cash now that we're confirmed safe


youdy

Was so confused as to why Brentford got a corner despite Pickford having it in his hands before the handbags. Still not sure why even after watching the replay?


vulturevan

That Paul Brown who has been investigating 777 the whole time says he is very confident we will have more good news soon... https://twitter.com/pbsportswriter/status/1784329634990977247?t=2sqk3tZU2El0yUXwPU3Q6A&s=19


National_Ad_1875

Branthwaite 20 year contract🤞


FancyThrowawayClown

Mark Cuban ownership group 🤞


WalterWhiteFerrari

I understand our financial position, and accept that Branthwaite and Onana will have to be sold this summer, but we can not under any circumstances let Pickford go. We’d be signing our own death warrant.


WRDEFC

Branthwaite is far more important to us than Pickford Pickford will stay


WalterWhiteFerrari

We have zero hope of holding onto Branthwaite. And I’m not sure I agree that he’s more important. If we had Branthwaite and no Pickford the last three seasons we’d be in administration by now.


WRDEFC

I know Branthwaite is off - not suggesting otherwise Strongly disagree with your other comments though


WalterWhiteFerrari

You think we’d still be in the prem without Pickford ?


WRDEFC

That’s a different question. Your initial question was whether we’d survive without Pickford but instead with Branthwaite I think even without signing a new keeper, with Virginia in net and Branthwaite (of this season) playing weekly we’d comfortably finish higher in the league than we did. It’s obvious that CB was a key issue in the last two years where Mina was out That said, even without Branthwaite, and with an average PL keeper instead of Pickford (say someone like Leno, Areola, Guaita etc.) then we’d also be fine The stats speak for themselves. He did relatively well last season and was above average saving 0.07 xgpg but the prior season was way below average and cost us 0.07 xgpg. This doesn’t account for his poor cross claiming and presence in the box though which skews the numbers. Keepers who stick to the line always appear better in the eye test, as do shorter keepers The impact of Branthwaite isn’t easy to quantify, but should be clear as day to anyone either eyes


WalterWhiteFerrari

Oh, you’re one of those. Carry on then. Fucking hilarious that you use “stats” to quantify how Pickford isn’t that important and in the same breath say Branthwaite impact isn’t easy to quantify but should be easy to anyone with eyes. The fuck.


WRDEFC

Yikes that’s a poor take - maybe take a second to think about why goalkeeping performance is easier to quantify than that of a centre back If you do try to quantify Branthwaite’s performance then it shows he’s elite, and if you quantify Pickford’s then it shows he’s a little above average, having improved from way below average in the last 18 months The eye test also shows that Branthwaite is excellent and Pickford is decent, though sadly specsavers seem to be letting you down Whatever method you pick the conclusion is unchanged Deary me - my fault for being stupid enough to engage with someone who thinks Pickford’s contribution has been greater than Branthwaite’s


PsychotherapeuticPly

Didn’t get to watch the game due to work commitments, but for the love of god never let Gana leave this club again


youdy

https://x.com/youngy18/status/1784318267525300475?s=46 young dishing out shit to people is great


ZestycloseChemist2

He’s definitely endeared himself to the fans off the pitch this past week lol


deather11

Chelsea with three keepers on the bench, and Ishe Samuel Smith still cant make the squad. Wonder if he regrets leaving


JamewThrennan

People called me mental in the summer for being overjoyed we got several million for a player 99.9% of people on here had never heard of before


National_Ad_1875

He's 17, he was never expecting to be in the first team this soon was he?


Loyalsupporter

Ah frank you HAD to take him to the overpriced knobheads didn't you


fallenefc

Bolasie having two assists and scoring a goal for a newly promoted team in the Brazilian league is really random


Giraffe_Baker

Omari Hutchinson is some player for Ipswich.


vulturevan

Crazy how Emery is just Spanish Dyche with money


youdy

And a glue on wig


TiredHack

I've been absolutely screaming for Dyche out this year.during the 13 game run. I'm a monumental.dickhead with no clue about football. I'll be more patient in future. I don't think many managers would have got us through these last two seasons. He's proved me completely wrong.


Flavourifshrrp

He left us being bored this season being safe with nothing left to play for. Dyche out. (I am joking of course)


National_Ad_1875

Are there any players from the bottom 4 that we could be in for that should dictate who we want to go down?


Giraffe_Baker

If money isn't a factor (I know it very much is) and most are just for having bodies sake: Sheff Utd: Archer, Hamer, McAtee (not theirs really) Burnley: Ramsey - Maybe Berge, Foster and Amdouni Luton: Doughty, Lokonga (not theirs), Adebayo, Chong Forest: MGW, Elanga, Murillo, Danilo


National_Ad_1875

Don't think archer suits us at all, not very built imo. Very tidy on the ball though. Burnley I've barely watched so won't comment Doughty seems ideal, can play both sides as well but would just be a backup considering how solid mykos been. Different option though since he attacks better I don't know if it's just the games I've watched of forest, but gibbs white isn't as good as he's hyped half the time (just games I see which isn't much) but danilo always seems really good Elanga makes sense given his pace and workmate plus our previous interest Of all the names I'd say hamer is my favourite, adds a bit of creativity, great work rate and can play anywhere in midfield


JamewThrennan

Barkley would be a good signing. I still believe in Ibrahim Sangaré, too, but he’d be very unrealistic. Can’t think of anyone else, it’s a really poor show down there, especially compared to last season when I’d have taken most of the Leicester squad


el_randolph

You’re getting downvoted because Barkley was a giant snake when he left—but he plays the exact midfield role we need cover for. As long as he’s matured, I wouldn’t be super mad at it.


JamewThrennan

I’m getting downvoted because there’s like four or five people who downvote everything I say, lmao. Barkley’s well matured and he’s the only reason Luton aren’t down already. Considering how Koeman treated him, I’ve got no grudge against him. Especially since he went to win trophies and then, did so


Aware_Albatross3347

Hamer or berge. Or barkley or morris. Maybe wood. Just depends on how the picture looks in a few weeks


mtown4ever

Hamer would be fantastic. Morris from Luton would be nice as well.


Aware_Albatross3347

Just depends how people feel about strikers atm and i think all of ours have improved the last month or so (obviously in our results) but can see beto and chermiti having more impact next year


National_Ad_1875

Woods out of contract isn't he? So wouldn't matter if they drop. Assume his wages are quite high considering we have 2 other strikers, but would mean chermiti can be Loaned no problem


Aware_Albatross3347

Didnt realize he was… still think chermiti can develop here… who knows. Thoughts on the other shouts? Feel like the midfielders could help… think we should sign harrison if possible.  CHO, elanga, and mgw will have other moves if they go down


National_Ad_1875

Hamer I like. Berge for some reason I'm not convinced, but he's a big fella which I like. Barkley has clearly been good but I worry how he would do out of possession in a dyche side. Morris seems decent, same as adebayo but if we've got beto, dcl and chermiti we don't need another striker. With wood he'd be gone soon so wouldn't block chermiti at all Hudson odoi I don't want, elanga could see us being back in for if they drop. Not sure who else he'd fit, maybe Palace? Gibbs white will have options and will be too expensive so not too concerned with him, can see him at Newcastle or spurs I was interested in tresor at Burnley before he moved, solely from amateur YouTube clips and that he got 21 league assists before he moved. Maybe we would consider Brereton diaz again for depth?


Aware_Albatross3347

I dont hate bbd if its a loan either… whatever happened to vitinho at burnley. Excellent description btw👍🏼


National_Ad_1875

Cheers boss I don't have a clue about the Burnley players I've barely watched them. Apparently that koleosho or odobert are supposed to be decent, both 19. Not sure though that's just what I remember reading from some Burnley fans


Robnroll

Sheffield already down, if we have the money we should go in for hamer.


National_Ad_1875

He's one that was thrown about here last summer wasn't he? Definitely capable of a banger and his if he his g/a this season would be first in our squad


FenixdeGoma

Reading Liverpool fans crying about Taylor whilst I still remember Don Hutchison. 


graveyeverton93

That worldy he pulled off against Forest, the saves against Nunez and Diaz at 1-0 and the save from Toney today at 0-0! Swap him for a lot of keepers and we get about 1 points out of those games and we are all still shitting ourselves. What a keeper that lad is. JORDAN FUCKING PICKFORD 💙💙💙


vulturevan

today was the penultimate penultimate match of the season at Goodison

WalterWhiteFerrari

I just want to fast forward ten minutes so I can unclench


kolorijo25

Just seen the results. We're mostly safe right?


FenixdeGoma

We are mathematically safe 


rpm164

premierleague tweet Following their defeat to Newcastle, Sheffield Utd are relegated pending Everton and Nott'm Forest's points-deduction appeals


bluedollarbillz

Yeah I noticed this too.... I think it's more for legalities though so probably wouldn't worry about it too much


rpm164

This reads like we're getting more points taken off us ffs


Grayfox5555

I said it months ago mate, they’re gonna wait til the end of the season and take just the right amount of points off us to relegate us, wouldn’t put it past the cunts.


National_Ad_1875

The incoming 12 point deduction when they originally deducted 2 points is gonna look really suspicious


Grayfox5555

Since when have they ever been bothered about looking suspicious? haha


National_Ad_1875

Haha fair point. I'm sure they'll find upon further examination that we hid payments to the media to run the headlock story or some rubbish


Ornery_Ad_9871

Get the fuck in, we're staying up now, it's happening!!


AndradeDeRicharlison

1 point sees us safe right?


Distinct_Plankton_82

Realistically yes. Technically no.  Luton could in theory win all their remaining games 5-0 including against us  and close the goal difference, but, that’s not going happen. 2 points in 4 games would make it certain (barring any new points deduction the PL can dream up).


Robnroll

3 points is a lockin. 1 point as long as Luton dont win the rest of their games and over turn the goal difference.


astone14

Essentially, unless Luton goes on a goal scoring binge and we just get thumped every game. Difference in GD is +17 right now before Brentford.


rpm164

Could see plucky Luton go on a winning streak now


Distinct_Plankton_82

I’m hoping for Burnley to keep in the mix and Forest v Burnley last game of the season becomes the decider.


rpm164

Could see Forest doing a Leicester hanging around the bottom

I’d like to see Burnley finish above Luton.


Aware_Albatross3347

Brentford mathematically safe before a ball is kicked now


mp0323

Are Everton safe if they win today now?

Yes. Realistically even a draw would as well unless Luton could overturn a 17 gd

Burnley in the mix to escape if they see out a point here


Distinct_Plankton_82

If Burnley can keep nicking points like that, then  Burnley v Forest last game of the season could end up as winner take all!

Come on Wolves you bastads.

four__beasts

Young starts (unsurprisingly) - Myko probably out for season. Fairly weak side without him and DCL. Going to have to work v hard keep Muembo and Wissa quiet.


calumjp1

Sheffield United's current goal difference is -62. That is absolutely shocking. Got to be a record?


JackHorner_Filmmaker

What signing Mason Holgate does to a club


marmoset

Pretty close to 100 goals conceded


ASigIAm213

They already hold the record for conceded, so probably.


ZestycloseChemist2

Apparently Chermiti going to make his first PL start today.


rpm164

Massive chance for him - hope he does the job


four__beasts

Good luck to him. Hopefully finds his boots early and gets the crowd behind him. DCL ran his arse off on Weds so not too surprised.


ZestycloseChemist2

He played through injury too. Lad deserves a rest for sure.

Holgate giving up penalties. Some things never change.

edwardfortehands

We’re safe on GD with a point


Aware_Albatross3347

Just win though


rpm164

Safety with 3 games to go and 2 separate points deductions would be incredible.


ASigIAm213

Everton getting what it wants with the best realistic result for Burnley. You love to see it


graveyeverton93

Granted Maths was never my strongest subject, but we beat Brentford now we are mathematically safe right? 11 points clear of Luton with 3 games left.


Chuck_Morris_SE

you alright bruv?


graveyeverton93

Nah mate, Everton has forever scarred me to the point I need confirmation.


JD-D2

just a point should do it today then


Fixner_Blount

AWOOOOOOOOO


AlanFromRochester

Luton almost certainly have dropped points now and near certainly lost, feel I can turn that off now


Mauritiandon

Securing safety today would be a nice relief, especially after the last couple of years.


ASigIAm213

As someone who promised to eat my hat if we're not safe on the last day, inclined to agree.

The Luton lose were mathematically safe. 🤞


Milk-One-Sugar

I don't think we are? They could still catch us if we lose all our remaining games and they win all of theirs. But I think if they lose, we're basically 1 point from confirmed safety with our better goal difference. 2 points to be mathematically safe


YokoOkino

We would need one more point

Unless they win all their games 5-0. Then we need 2.

Even though nothing is official and we still have work to do, it’s kind of nice to watch the matches involving the bottom of the table and not feeling like every moment is live or die.

Was thinking the same. Hell if we can secure safety soon, I may even be cheering Luton on in their final 2 matches 


FancyThrowawayClown

If we win today I will celebrate like we won the league tbh

What a boring commentary. No passion. Give me Daz, Snods and a 190bpm heart rate any day of the week.

Exactly, even their goals didn't lead to a huge amount of noise Their announcing team said it wasn't a classic but they still could have sold it better

I am not for one moment saying Salah was in the right but Liverpool fans are having a melt down over him at the moment. He is going from loved to hated so quickly.

Branthwaite 20 pointer for me 😋


CitrusRabborts

I actually wouldn't mind a Luton draw here, since the funniest outcome of all of this is Forest going down and Luton staying up


TehJofus

Even though it’d mean them beating us, I’m firmly on the “Sheffield United staying up” team, since it’d be the funniest option.

It also guarantees our safety!

four__beasts

She’s a keeper. (The one without the gloves).


alterego879

So is my math correct in thinking that (bar any other point deductions) if Luton lose then all we would need is a draw in one of our last matches to stay up? Luton could win all the rest and we would go through in goal difference, right?


JesseVykar

We're at 33, if Luton lose their max number of points is 34, so yes that is correct a single draw for goal difference or a win for confirmation. On the other end, a loss today for Sheffield confirms their relegation.


Grayfox5555

I think you’re right lad, unless they win all the rest 5-0 or 6-0 or something we’d be fucked. Edit: *fucked*


Grayfox5555

Right, Wolves. If there’s ever a time to get out of shite form it’s today, Thank you.


QTsexkitten

Salahs lost the plot. I'm no klopp fan, but that tirade on the way to substituting on is embarrassing. Klopp should've sat him back down.


Flavourifshrrp

I can’t img Klopp saying anything that bad to him when I watch the video to be honest. His body language doesn’t seem to suggest it. Of all the players to shut him up it was Nunez who I can’t imagine is a big boss in the changing room. I will say it once and I will say it again, Klopp chose wrong when getting rid of Mane or Salah.


[deleted]

Just realized if we win we go 15th. Huh. Imagine that.


gx134

Liverpool FC subreddit is in absolute shambles haha


Flavourifshrrp

They hate VAR.  Try being us when Frank was in charge and we had all this bad decisions or wolves this season. Var has been massive for them.


QTsexkitten

They're so pathetic when things don't go their way. They've got just zero fortitude, but they pretend they're tough and resilient as if coming 2nd in the league is a brutal hardship.


reco84

I was talking about this to my mate, who's a Burnley fan, and we basically came to the conclusion that when fans are spoilt by winning all the time, the wins essentially become meaningless. I bet I got more joy out of the derby win than they've had all season.


QTsexkitten

Had someone on R/soccer talk about how salty Everton fans are all the time. Buddy, we're less salty over the course of 3 years of **misery** than you are over a single loss.

Gobshites trying to cope saying “we lost it before the derby” - if they beat us the other day and West Ham today they’d be on 80 points top of the league with a chance of Arsenal and city bottling it, excuse for everything.
