Dead rubbers aside, we shouldn’t regard any game as more or less important. In practice, we have to rotate the squad to give us a good chance of winning each match.
Treating a single game as some sort of cup final because of who it is against is the mindset that Everton have got themselves into.
Errah grand, GR. Back in Ireland now with the family, and no time to do anything. Happy to still be bald, otherwise Darwin Nunez would have me ripping my hair out.
Hang on. No penalties? All the United fans say we get a penalty every game and we dive for them all the time and VAR is rigged in our favour and their players are sent off for breathing and we are funded by dodgy owners and we smell and Michael Oliver is going to dig up the corpses of all their former players and ritually shag them on the centre circle…
I’m not sure about the last bit, but it’s probably more likely than us getting a penalty.
