I know it’s Everton and no one here’s that excited about them, but why are they wearing this terrible kit? They could easily wear the normal blues and have no issue.

To sell shirts presumably, although I also don't know if I've ever seen anyone wear a third kit.

Everton is actually a pretty good team at this point. They deserved a point out of that, at least, but we managed to hang on.

It's actually the away kit, and don't dare call it red. Probably for the festive time of the season.

Hell of a first half by Liverpool / Arsenal. Fun game.

Gomez needs to be careful. Saka can easily expose Liverpool’s glaring weakness with both of our LBs now injured.

Liverpool get a 5 on 2 and don't score. Arsenal hanging on right now.

That corner and the subsequent 5 on 1 was an embarrassment and would be so for any team calling themselves professionals.

I don’t know how Liverpool missed on that.

AA assumed ball wouldn’t bounce last second when he was trying to do the easy tap in.

Liverpool should’ve won this game.

Good point for Arsenal, feel fortunate considering the TAA crossbar and non penalty call.
Zinchenko is such a liability against better clubs. His play works well when you can dominate possession, but vs any club that can attack us he's good to give up a goal.

Zinchenko can play a good ball when he has time. There is decent vision there.

But he is a terrible defender.

That was a fun game, it’s great to see two teams move the ball quickly and press like crazy. The handball rule is as baffling as it always is, Odegaard dribbled that thing like a basketball.

A draw was a pretty fair result in the end, but it’s scary to leave City creeping just behind when you know they are always capable of rattling of 10+ in a row.

I'm annoyed that United parked the Bus and got a point.

I'm annoyed that they couldnt beat Arsenal despite them being more or less full value for the point.

Because you're right. All of this plays right into City's hands.

Might have been to not clash colors for people with colorblindness

There was an article on athletic a while ago about premier league focusing on it after some complaints a few years ago

Whenever theres a clear area where it could be light v dark, I.e spurs whites vs Everton blues I assume it's that

I don’t get that. Blue and White would be an issue for colour blindness? That doesn’t make sense at all.

Speaking of Blue though, watching Chelsea fail is so hilarious!

Is every club in the league at the point of being in an injury crisis now? It’s well beyond the point where something needs to be done about it.

Too many games, too close together. Clubs have complained about it for years and no one has any sympathy when it’s not their club…which I totally understand.

Chris Wood of all people scoring a hattrick against Newcastle is just *chef's kiss*.

So my folks are in town for the holidays. What’s the easiest and cost-effective way to let my dad watch the Man U - Villa match coming up in an hour?

Any free trials for a premiership package?

Or a cheap stream option?

Thanks
