If you enjoy goalkeepers having a go at their defenders, check out Jacob Ramsey's goal for Aston Villa yesterday and Aaron Ramsdale's reaction.

I dont generally like seeing that, as someone who has spent a lot of time playing both positions I dont like keepers like that.

But I loathe Jordan Pickford.

Ugh, Man City wearing those jerseys that are a crime against humanity. I would seriously love to know how that product development meeting went.

Gave up 2 goals (one disallowed) 2 or 3 Posts, barely any possession and scored on a half chance after an uncalled foul. They looked terrible its hard to believe they got a point. Palace keeps outplayed their opponents and failing to win complete switch from last year.

It's hard to see any of the current bottom 3 surviving the drop. I know Newcastle will be active in the winter window but can't see them adding more than 2 or 3 good players or 5 or so average ones with FFP rules and outside of Saint max they look like a championship side to me. Maybe callum Wilson as well off the sub bench when their new team is built out but they need a total rebuild.

I almost enjoyed that ten minute collapse from Everton more than Chelsea absolutely ruining Norwich. Well I mean not really I loved watching Chels absolutely demolish them.

I watched it twice. I've not seen a side turn the switch off like that in quite some time. Players literally running into each other in their own 18 yd box and leaving tap-ins for Watford.

Great start to the weekend.

Oh my God...it was like Sunday kickabout calamity. Everton were defending like a complete tire fire.

People sliding in, over-committing, taking the ball off teammates feet, not clearing their lines, it was just an absolute calamity.

You could just take the last 12 minutes of that match, overlay 'yakkity sax' and it would be just hilarious.

Its like they werent professional players at all. Just an absolute joke. Not something you'd normally expect from a Rafa Benitez team.

I imagine that the players' and coaching staff video review day is going to be grim.

Just unfortunate that BHA could not sustain their CL run and Wolves gave up the penalty at the end.

I can only assume this game is being played in an empty stadium. The atmosphere is terrible…

As usual, an uninspiring performance from Spurs. The only surprise is we didn’t lose 3-0 in a London derby.

Levy should have taken whatever he could have gotten for Kane.

He's not going to be worth much this summer.

He is just working to rule and saving himself for MCI.

I know you jest, but it really kind of looks that way...

[Slava]

I thought he put himself in a great position to watch Antonio score his usual against us!

[devo22]

oh boy, here we go. Going to be a long afternoon.

[Senator Clay Davis]

How easy was that? United's defense is shambolic.

Luke Shaw literally just stood there like a pylon.

[Senator Clay Davis]

LOL that was so embarrassing.

[devo22]

I just wonder what the preparation for this game was. If there is a gameplan, I certainly don't see it. What are they all doing the whole week?

Is this the Everton back line from yesterday? WTF is going on here?

I dont rate Maguire as highly as some but that was ridiculous.

That being said, Liverpool dropped the ball against Atletico from a 2-0 lead so I'll be cautiously optimistic.

Probably prepping for the inevitable "Not good enough, but we move" post-game social media posts.
