Lovely interview wasn't it. Real warmth there.
When Beto had his purple patch last season it came from a series of through balls he was able to run onto and score. Its Beto's thing. We just don't do it enough. Peppering the box from the wings doesn't work anywhere nearly as well with Beto.
Yep honest genuine and understated fellas.
Likeable especially in contrast to Chelsea.
This Beto through ball, and set pieces, are two tactics we are underutilising.

Two quick questions....
1) Did we do anything wrong in that game? Any poor performances or periods of play?
2) What would be the predicted points needed for 5th, 7th, 8th?
My take:
1) The only one for me would be that Tarks elbow but reckon that happens 5-10 times in each and every game...just depends if camera picks it up.
2) Chatgpt saying:
--5th place: 67–69 points
--7th place: 57–59 points
--8th place: 52–54 points
Chatgpt talks shite.no way anyone gets 8th in them points...
Tarks needless elbow and Barry getting booed

I only saw it back once but it looked as much like he put his arm over Tarky and possibly pulled Keane’s arm over him too so that was not a pen and not a mistake for me.
Wow, just wow.
We were at it from the first kick to the last.
We blew them away.
An amazing performance from 1-11 and fair play too to the gaffer, he's got us purring.
Complete contrast to the gut wrenching late defeat last week.
I know it sounds absurd but with the way villa, the shite and chelsea are playing 4th place is up for grabs.
Let's throw everything at the last 7 games and see where it takes us.
Take a bow lads

True. Looked less intentional and more 'heavily protective'
fucking get in their blues - fantastic win
3 points
tbh i didnt really expect to lose v chelsea as they are that bad under their non manager who is basically just a young inexperienced soundbite
Great!

celebrating with a nice cigar and a good brandy this evening thank you everton i love u so muchx
Real quality performance. Feels like we are a proper team now. Excited for what comes when we add the missing pieces to this team and squad.
We were great but arent chelsea a bit crap. Palmer apart I feel they've bought really poorly. Nothing elevates them, just an endless stream of good but not great players with probably a really poor manager.
