Hoping someone can help me out with bringing your posts up about Ashley young being a shrewd signing…. Not sure best way to do it.

No surprise we finally looked dangerous on set pieces with that Easter not taking them!

Thought Garner was very strong.

He did his job okay today after a nervy few minutes. Bit of a random tag after only 2 minutes of football, but you do you champ.

Glad to finally get a win under our belt. Should help take some of the pressure off, as long as it's followed up by 3 points in each of the next two.

Still didn't love the tactics, to be honest, but getting the good version of Doucoure helped things a lot. And having Brentford copy our lack of performance from last week and playing straight into what we were trying to do also helped.

But I still can't wait to get Harrison in there, so we can hopefully move Garner to the middle where he belongs. A midfield of Garner - Onana - Doucoure with Harrison on the right and Dom back up top, and I think we can start getting something cooking more consistently.

Tucked in nicely behind Chelsea and MunU
On for the title this season ?

Knew we’d win, just need to get above both now, then we can relax and have a laugh……

If we can follow that up with wins v Luton and Bournemouth we will be well on our way....

...to good times ?

Went for Tarks, proper captain’s performance and guided his back line all game. Great goal to cap it off.

Pickford - probably could have done better wit h the goal. But didn’t really have much to do
Young - dealt with their winger with ease (after the yellow card like)
Branthwaite - absolute rock, just needs to learn when not to get too tight on some occasions.
Mykolenko - best game for a long time.
Gana - can win a ball with ease, can’t pass it though.
Onana - actually played quite well today with some decent tackles
Doucs - can’t play footy to save his life but somehow manages to be our saviour
Garner - class, can’t be dropped
McNeil - different team with him in the side. His work rate is 2nd to none in that sqaud.
Beto - constant nuisance, unlucky not to score.

DCL - some good hold up play and took his goal well.
Danjuma - didn’t really get up to the pace of the game

Thought Branthewaite was quietly boss .

2 mins of football…. Is that all he has had this season??

He has been absolute garbage for 95% of his time so far this season…

You thought he would be a shrewd signing …. Good shout!

I love how we won because Brentford were poor, never a bit of credit given.

For me , Garnet should start every week, good all round playet who can pass.
UTFTs!

Fantastic win, which justified Dyche's selection. A bit more better personal control of the ball associating it quicker will see us in good stead. Thought Branthwaite was excellent, he reads the game so well for such a young lad. Now for two important home games in the league. Villa away on Wednesday will be interesting, play the subs.

 

[Blue Piper]

Doucs MoM for me. Comes in for a lot of stick here. Great goal.

Great effort by Everton today they proved they can play good offensive football.
