Zlatan did score goals in his 1 season.
I’m not going to lie, that is an astute question.

Anyway, first weekend in the books (ignoring today) and I think all of the main challengers showed enough weakness that will give opposition teams some encouragement.
I was largely happy with our performance but lots of people will take encouragment from the perception of how open we are and how easy we are to counter. Despite City’s more impressive scoreline, I saw even more defensive frailty from them in that regard. It was not a performance that saw them control the game or limit Wolves the way will reflexively a 4-0 City win would have looked like. The main difference in their game vs ours was Bournemouth took their chances and Wolves did not. Wolves also arguably had a greater number of good chances and earned them from competing on a more level footing than Bournemouth’s came from. This is a performance we’ve seen from city a lot last season and it just says they can still score a hat full when not playing well, which is needed because they are unable to consistently dominate sides the way they used to.
Chelsea and Arsenal dont need any further commentary.

How bad is Grealish if he can’t get a game in this Everton team?

We might actually have a decent relegation battle to look forward to this season.
Kinda admire the squads the promoted 3 are building, Stach looks a great buy.

5 minutes into the league and VAR and ref blaming is off to a flyer. Who would have thought?
That was a pen. Bad luck Everton. Moysey will probably tee off post match.

It was an obvious pen and in fact he could have avoided it. He knew what he was doing.

Tarko should have used his left ear not his arm to deflect the shot.

He would have got away with it if he had done it in the Derby.

Watched the highlights of Forest v Brentford and Anderson looked absolutely brilliant with the variety, range and pace on his passes. Wonderful to watch, good player.
