Love this. Welcome to our big dysfunctional family. If you get a chance you should check out the "Everton Howard's Way" documentary

He was in flying form in that presser. Had me grinning like a kid.

Aye 2nd goal frustrated me more than the 1st to be honest.

Wouldn't worry about a tweet from KFC tbh. Is right Nev. The mistakes that Pickford has made this season haven't cost us anything. In fact without him, we would've been down 2-0 to Spurs in the first half. The lad does make frustrating mistakes, and also makes fantastic saves... and he's...

Yup, I'd very much doubt we'd put a price tag on essentially our only striker. If united enquired (which I'd doubt) I'm sure they would've been told to go sling their hook.

Sorry, "want" him gone was probably a poor way for me to phrase that, but I think you get what I meant. I think everything you've said above is super reasonable - essentially, "trust in Carlo" And I think you're right, he was definitely about to get hooked last night. I wouldn't be distraught...

Well to be fair, you're putting words in my mouth here. I never said there should be no expectations. I was saying that thinking he would produce the same level of excitement as when Rooney broke on the scene is part of the reason people are disappointed now. That first Rooney season is probably...

Just to clarify, what I said was. "Also, I completely agree with you RE Nkounkou and Gordon - their performances last night (and Gordon post lockdown in general) are the types of performances that get you excited. The problem with playing up front is that your performances are never really...

Big time! Excites me to think of what training must be like for him now with so many quality attacking players in the squad - can only be good for his technical and tactical development. He's already got the attitude and athletic ability.

Yup, either their right back was painfully slow or Gordon is a lot quicker than I gave him credit for. Really impressive last night.

Yup, I misunderstood you. When you specifically mentioned dribbling passed players, or speeding passed players etc. immediately followed by a comparison to Rooney's first season then yes I thought this was what your expectations were. You hadn't mentioned wondergoals but i mentioned it as it...

Aye, I'd be worried about a loan myself. Unless he was going somewhere that he'd be guaranteed 90 minutes most weeks I think it would be a bad idea. Better to be a bit part player around the players we have in our squad and our coaching team than elsewhere where you have no control. If he was...

And according to Iwobi's agent, Carlo really rates him a lot. Sorry ya, not having a go - hope that comment didn't come across snarky. His reaction when he scored his first goal showed me how much it meant to him then, maybe things have changed since. The head on him after he scored the...

I'm not trying to twist anything, I just don't understand what gave you the impression he was going to have that type of season? As far as the winning and losing arguments comment goes - that's certainly not why I'm posting here, I couldn't care less about point scoring.

Arguably, that's the case for every young player in football. Point is Carlo is asking for patience with a young striker - and patience is something that football fans tend to struggle with these days.

“We have to be patient with him. He has to work and improve. He has to work in technical areas and improve of course. He has to be better in finishing, he has to be better in controlling the ball and I think we have to be patient. When a player is young you need to be patient so that day by day...

That's fair enough mate, I think those expectations are part of the problem. We signed a young striker with not a word of English for less than we paid for the likes of Iwobi and Bolasie - and the expectation was that he would have a similar season to the first season of our best academy...

Maybe it is just a feeling in my waters, or maybe I'm guilty of wishful thinking, but I honestly do see a player there. He was 100% guilty of a lot of loose first touches last night, couldn't make anything stick - particularly in the first half. Not going to lie, I was not happy when he...

Actually, you're probably right there given how promising Gordon looks as a deputy on the left. I don't think Richarlison is as effective playing up front personally but that's likely how we would set up given a DCL injury. Still think folks are writing this kid off wayyyy to early (not a...

DCL injury and Moise Kean is immediately into our starting XI. Games where we're more than a single goal ahead and he'll get more time on the pitch than he did against Spurs. The kid is being judged on: 1) A season where we were atrocious and he was given just 834 minutes (~9 games) of league...
