Correct me if I'm wrong. Cost us 3 v Sunderland. 3 v Norwich and 1 at least v burnley. That's 7. Think there was some before that.
I don't care what position they are in in the league ani. We proved last night we are capable of beating the " top " clubs. Because the " top " clubs are generally crap. But time and time again. We don't.
Damn right we should win most games. Not possible to win them all. But. We don't do we.

Top clubs are generally crap? Where did you get this shaft of wisdom Aus? Surely the only thing you cannot argue with is that the cream of the league will rise to the top and after a season the "top" clubs are top - for a reason.
Along the way every top club (and player) will have a mare but they pick themselves up, learn from it, dust themselves down and go again.
Let's not crucify Leeds Uniteds No 1 goalkeeper or the next time he saves a worldy or blocks a certain one on one I hope all you naysayers shout and praise just as loudly.

Good post Aus
Plus I have the walkabout calamity by Meslier in Everton EPL game
beaten by a right wing touchline shot completely vacating his goal in 2023
on a par or still worse than yesterdays calamity.

Leo. Meslier so rarely does though. last 3 seasons he is renowned for letting in 1st shot on goal.

Tell me a good team you’ve seen in champ this season leodis. Cause I ain’t. Cream should rise to the top. In fact the cream should already be there. But they ain’t are they.

Er Aus, if Mes is to blame entirely for Norwich and Sunderland, then he cost 2 points and 2 points? or was Rodon at fault for Norwich and Sunderland, since he lost his man twice and gave a penalty away? Or was it Aaronson because he missed a goal 30 seconds before. No, it was Bodle for the stupid free kick with 20 seconds to go? Or was it the ref v Norwich for not giving us a penalty; perhaps Struik should take some of the blame, since he would have missed it?
You obviously do care what position they are in the league Aus. Are we a "top" club then Aus; are we crap?

My thought exactly Leo, a very good post.
The crucifiers and naysayers are entitled to their opinions but so are we in ours. ?.

Goalies make saves. Or supposed to. That’s their position of choice. So they can suck it up. Like I wanted Matt dropped. Why? It’s not rocket science. We are a good team that are constantly throwing away points mate. For a variety of reasons. Goalie. Striker. Manager. Take your pic.
05 Oct 2024 12:34:30
Or don't take your pick! The team wins and loses as one.
05 Oct 2024 14:32:39
They didn’t yesterday. No one in that defeat. Mez and BEST mate understanding. The rest thinking what a ****ing idiot. Team before self.
