what he said sums up my feelings completely. I used to really enjoy derby matches - the passion and commitment - but now I bloody hate them.
Given the results this weekend, I expect that lot to kick lumps out our players just to derail our season.
the Bitters right now: - have a single point from their past six league matches - on their longest winless run since April 2016 - took 13 points from their opening six fixtures, have earned just two since then
Neverton players who will not be available: Injured: Dominic Calvert-Lewin / Yerry Mina / Tom Davies / Andre Gomes Suspended: Mason Holgate (also maybe Richarlison? but he could be back for that game)
he and Tom Davies are way too worried about being some faux fashionistas instead of top level premier league players. ok - Tom Davies is shit so he’s a lost cause - but Diver-Lewin has learned to score goals and even been called up by England. He could be a pretty good player.
Or, based on last year's fiasco with Pickford ... and Everton;s general recklessness .... the ref may be in a frame of mind to damp this one down with some early cards (hopefully)
