Now part of the commentator’s phrase book

[Buxtonclaret]

Mesmerising football by City at the moment.

[Hipper]

As soon as McNeil, Calvert Lewin and Harrison got fit and into the side they have become a different team.

I'm also impressed how Branthwaite has improved over the course of the season. It perhaps pays for a young player to play alongside the likes of Tarkowski. He had a loan at our friends down the road but also last season at PSV Eindhoven.

[Hipper]

Not only holding in the penalty area mostly ignored (as we found out at Forest) but also pushes in the back. Two blatant ones I've seen recently was Maguire on McAtee, Sheff U vs Man U a week or so ago, and a Spurs defender on a Palace player on Friday. I think we also saw it by Stones on Hoijlund when the score was 1-0. I've turned it off because I'm sick of the childish antics. Grealish, Foden, Amrabat, Fernandes. Are these really adults that we admire?

[Taffy on the wing]

Ederson showing the value of having a good passer for a keeper.......turning defense into attack with one good pass.

[Buxtonclaret]

Cruising ! 3-0

[ElectroClaret]

Three

If this was boxing, the Ref would stop it

If this was boxing the judges would probably award the win to Manchester United.

Bet there won't be much 'Fergie Time' this afternoon.

How’s that not a red for Antony?

[Buxtonclaret]

How’s that not a red for Antony?

Lost the game.
Lost their heads.
He probably should have gone.
He'd two go's at him.

[Lip]

That's cheered me up no end ,Manure getting a battering.

[Carwin261]

How come we lost to that load of crap?

Was probably our best 90 minutes of the season, that Man Utd game.

Unfortunately we couldn't take our chances in the first half, and couldn't create anything in the second half.

Ironically - and I don't think VK will be in agreement - arguably our best performance was against City.

[warksclaret]

And as the saying goes ' If you don't concede you don't lose. And if you don't concede and score you win'.

There was an absolute connection today between Dyche and every member of the Everton team. He kicked and headed every ball with him. There was no way any of that team was going to make a mistake or give the ball away. A very good and typical Dyche performance and I am going to predict Everton will concede one of the fewest goals in the PL this season. Braithwait has really come on and I am sure Dyche has given him the confidence to shine

[warksclaret]

I can’t believe that penalties are awarded for holding in the area every PL game or is it just the highest profile fixtures?

THis was a much needed decision. Needs to happen on every game covered by VAR-its been going on too long and refs let it go. Just like yellows for time wasting is having a result, giving a pen for blatant holding will cure something thats gone on too long

[chekhov]

Nathan Tella on the pitch for Leverkusen. He hasn’t had much of a look-in this season. Hope fully he can establish himself.

[bumba]

Marseille v Lyon is currently being discussed for the game to abandoned, match currently delayed. Lyon team bus attacked and their manager has had his head cut.
Photos and videos online don't look good

But, later in the game Maguire had both arms around a City player and pulled him to the ground..........nowt given.
They make it up as they go along....the game is ruined.
