I’ve heard the screams from downstairs. That’s first vs second right there. The same squad that nearly made it last year (no new additions, remember) is presently making the Prem look easy.
I do wonder whether other clubs might look at the transfer policy last year and emulate it. Everton would do well not to have an influx of 6-10 players every season.
Well, as Liverpool’s transfer policy up to now has meant tapping up and then nicking Southampton’s best players, if reports about Everton sniffing round Danny Ings and trying to get inside his head and unsettle him are true they have already made a start at emulating their neighbours from the other side of Stanley Park. They can fuck right off!
Most of the players were taken under Rodgers. To be fair to Brendan, he’s doing very well with Leicester, but I always felt at the time that Southampton players were about the level of player he could attract.
VVD is a bit different, as he’s genuinely world class.
Unless we get another world beater in our ranks, I think we’re safe for now. Don’t think Ings would be that interested in Everton.
And a bit over half a billion pounds. Don’t forget that bit.
Their title(assuming they don’t slip up) will have actually cost more than man cities(however many).
They bought the league.
and now we’ve had a no penalty call turned over by VAR to a penalty. Mahrez did make a lot of it to be honest but he was caught by the Wolves player.
And the Wolves keeper saves Sterling’s penalty, but did he encroach?? VAR to check…and he encroached, City/Sterling to retake…
Penalty saved, again, but rebounds straight to Sterling who taps it in.
