Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon

[matty1878]

We sold a player to satisfy arbitrary rules designed to keep clubs like us down. With these rules in place city wouldn't have got to where they are as they would have blown the budget in the Eriksson/Pearce/early Hughes days.

To succeed we had to be perfect in those first two seasons and unfortunately the 2nd one we weren't. We don't make enough cash to have a really deep team and the in house sponsorship was taken away when Putin decided to be a grade A expletive. It's like having two hands behind your back unless you are backed by state money.

so weee doomed

 

[Fansince1988]

I’m in tears. I’m so messed up.

WHY DOES HE PLAY FOR SPURS

All I can think he must have been sick to the back teeth of how Everton were being run, why else would he leave us and not go to a top team, he should have sat it out he would have got the Real move.

 

[BullensRoad]

He's got real madrid all over him. If he didn't sign for spurs this summer he would have gone there after that display.

 

[Parker]

So happy for the lad.

Deserves everything he gets.

 

[LinekersLegs]

True, it’s hard to say if he just got marked out of the game or not. That said it didn’t feel like he was creating that much space for his teammates either

I’m not a fan of Neymar’s usual theatrics but today I did think he got worked over a bit

That’s a good point actually, I didn’t clock it due to his usual antics, but there were some bad challenges in fairness

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

I love him.

It's true Matty, unfortunately. We need a Leicester moment to get back anywhere near the top and can't see that happening.

Everyone is bashing Moshiri for selling Richarlison but if it wasn't for him we would have never had him in the first place.

We didnt sell Richarlison due to FFP, we sold him cos he wanted to leave, even without any FFP issues he still would have left.

He's Rom with a better PR manager

 

[Rita_Poon]

Miss them goals, miss that antagonism, miss that character. Fair flips to Brazil.

I dont blame either for leaving, both went on to bigger and better things.

Same, but we hate Rom and love Richarlison basically because of what they said in public.

Hi mate.

Richy defo played the game better.

Getting pictured crying at FF will buy you a lot of goodwill.
