Wild first half for Everton. Leeds is a great addition to the league because they are such a mess and it makes for compelling viewing.

Caught the end, entertaining game. Leeds had their chances but couldn't finish.

Nervous moments for this Evertonian.

Oh yeah, Brighton! Weird year or not, it’s nice to see Liverpool actually falter at Anfield.

 

[Starat327]

That was a big win.

 

[Jack Straw]

Holy crap- Everton!

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Holy crap- Everton!

Come on you Blues! If City can take care of business, they'll be 3 points off 4th with 2 games in hand.

Legit fire Rudiger into the sun.

How is Gundogan scoring so often wtf

How is Gundogan scoring so often wtf

We dont have a striker right now 90% of the time... so Gundogan basically comes into a false 9 position soooo often while playing AM.

 

[Appleyard]

Seems like Gündoğan has played the wrong position his whole career ahaaha.

11 goals in 18 games in the Prem this year... basically playing as a false 9 most of the time.

Lukaku hit 300 senior goals. In 582 games.

At 27.

Now has 302 career goals. (as viewed by stats-keepers... as his 1x u-21 goal and 1x u-15 international goal count somehow.)

Only 51 players in history have got 500.

What is a better stat is 11 of the last 12 seasons he has scored 15+ club goals in a top tier. He is 27. Ahah.

I wonder how many goals Haaland has by 582 games.

I'm more interested in who he's scoring them for. He's going to be a very hot commodity this summer if the rumors of his release clause are true.

Fun game in Munich. Bayern currently down 3-2 with 25 to go vs bottom feeder Bielefeld. Was 2-0 Bielefeld at halftime.

Edit: and Fonzie levels it!

Edit: aw, Bielefeld goes ahead but it's called back for offside. VAR to the rescue? Nope.

He has to have a high scoring % off of shots... right? He does seem clinical when attempting to score

Started following Brit football in 73 when I lived in Paris and London. I love it when a non-Big 6 team finishes top 5. Hopefully it happens this spring.

I was devastated when he turned down United. He's going to be a superstar

He's already a superstar.

Graeme Souness says Liverpool's slump in form is merely a blip and predicts Jurgen Klopp's side will return to winning ways against Everton on Saturday." Liverpool vs Everton: Graeme Souness backs Reds to beat Carlo Ancelotti's side at Anfield

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Haaland is insane.

They’re definitely worse than they should be still, but that was the major blow to open the door for City.

My buddy has been a supporter for quite some time now. He admits they should be playing better, but said something like yesterday was the 17th or 18th different CB combo they've had this season. Thats insane.

Yeah for sure. You’re gonna have a hard time getting sympathy from me though... it’d be like this board feeling sorry for the Pens.
