No defensive brainfarts and we win this. So 2-1 Everton then.

Kid’s got skills Oh Bilal, Oh Bilal, Bilal El Khannouss, Bilal, Bilal, Bilal, Bilal, Bilal El Khannouss Sit Down by James

Actually think we might get something today, they’re not great at the back (mind, neither are we!), and surely we’ve got to start putting chances away sometime. 1-1 draw.

Can see this being a high-scoring game. Surely Vardy or Daka can get the better of Bassey, and for them Jimenez is a top finisher on his day. Just can't see us keeping a clean sheet again in my lifetime.

Okoli should be playing, and I’d try anyone instead of Justin.

Glad Vesty’s back, but the rest of the back four is honking.

Could be good, but he's not. Sell.

Can’t get this tune out of my head today. Been singing… Oh Bilal, Oh Bilal, Bilal El Khannouss, Bilal, Bilal, Bilal Bilal, Bilal El Khannouss

Yes please. Like an Argentine defender, they know the dark arts.

I can't watch James Justin any more. Worst full back I’ve ever seen.

Wow. Ward. Think we can get at them, but will need to score three to win. Can see a big game coming from El Khannouss.

Well that’s unexpected.

Definitely looked better with Skipp next to him. Think he's a big confidence player, and as he gets more confident every game, his performances improve.

Cracking subs, thought they changed the game. El Khannous, Soumare and of course Vards excelled today. Great point against a good side.

Defenders to defend a La Danny Simpson, staying in their own half. El Khanouss must start, same with Mavididi. Still lose though.

Piss poor. Embarrassing.

That midfield is horrific, and as for the defence. El Kannouss must start. I’d take a 1-0 defeat to be honest, keep the goal difference down.

Whoever comes in, I just hope he sets us up to have a go at teams, rather than play with everybody defending except Vardy. I know our defence is crap and needs a bollocking, but if Ndidi was told to just protect the back four and not go roaming up front, it might at least give us a bit of stability. If we had a go at some of these teams, I'm sure Buonanotte, Bilal, Mav, etc can hurt them, but the way we set up they're doing their stuff on the halfway line rather than in the box. So all I ask for is a bit of belief from the new guy, and let's see what we can do.

The player is ridiculously good. Great effort to all who took part, really appreciated.

Yes! Well done Top, at last you've shown you've got a pair. Now, who have you got lined up? You have, haven't you?

All the chants are gone after 5 mins because we sing them so fast. I couldn't believe how fast the Fatawu song ended up being sung. It's as though people just want to get to the end.

Poor. Just going through the motions.

Not against the forward line if Vardy’s out. Ayew can win free kicks and get us up the pitch to relieve pressure, got a goal in him too as we know. Worry about the back four though, think we ship a few today. Worry about Soumare too, so want him to do well, but I think he’ll be puffing after 20 minutes.

Decent bench if he uses it.

Quite fancy us now having seen the line-up. Just hope we make a good start and don't begin slowly as per normal.
