Game now, basically, very cr@ppy and struggling again to create. Not sure about the changes as yet. Space in midfield is at a premium.

Puscas on for Meite

This referee is really annoying

I presume Baldock is injured, ill, or having another baby as the Reading bench seems a bit defensive.

Semedo on for Joao?.?.?

HT 0-0

Slow awkward start, pretty much as usual then. Gradually grew into the game and looked more comfortable on the ball but just lacking that killer pass at the moment. Middlesbrough look dangerous when they get forward.

Laurent

Being a bit nailed back, can’t seem to get forward as yet to get at them.

Yay! Now top of the table

Barnsley 1-0 Bristol City

VAR interpretations are just stupid, an elbow here, half a knee there. Honestly it’s just ridiculous to go to that length to stop goals counting.

As posted on the VAR thread-Pickford's challenge was a red and I know my eyesight is not the best but Mane offside? I have a feeling that Alisson might well have stopped one of the goals but he wasn't there so no use going on about it. Liverpool were far superior, even without Van Dijk,and the Vill...

Holmes keeps his place, Ejaria & Joao back

How on earth was Pickford not sent off for that “tackle” on van Dijk I thought it was high and “out of control”. If an outfield player had done that I’m sure it would have been a straight red.

I was brushing up on the history of Everton and Liverpool last night before today's monumental derby and was quite surprised not to see us as one of the 12 founding members of the league. Why is this? It's a matter of some pride that we are one of the oldest clubs in English football, and iirc we w...

Only deal today, Sam Smith to Tranmere on loan.

SCIAG Watson doesn’t get picked when we have no fit right backs.

East is behind Watson in the midfield pecking order.

Smith, just lol. Seems to be seventh choice in a side that uses one striker.

Smith has gone on loan to Tranmere

Isn't the International window closed and he is at Red Star Belgrade? So why would he be flying to England soon? He left Red Star in March. Obviosuly he isn't important enough for someone to update his Wiki page..... Reading have rejected moves for Watmore, Wilshere, Mariappa and Asamoah Rajiv van ...

Forest (Chris Hughton) looking to sign Anthony Knockaert from Fulham

31 year old winger Yannick Bolasie is being targeted by Neil Warnock for Middlesbrough as a loan from Everton, if he joins let's hope he's not quite as good as he was when at Palace.

Been without a club since March, after Red Star terminated his contract less than a year into a three year deal.
