Are pep and Manchester City done?

Nearly...it'll take them another few games to win the league mathematically though.

City have dropped 7 pts in the last 6 games and have utd Chelsea arsenal spurs Everton in 5 of their next 7 and a few injuries. They may have been under slight pressure if a team behind them had of strung a good few wins together lately.

Anyone else baffled by Jose dropping Pogba and Martial today? From the little “discussion” they had at the sideline in the Spurs match, it doesn’t look like Pogba is much inclined to accept responsibility for things going wrong. Taking him off was a strong enough statement without dropping him I would have thought.

The problem for Jose now is that if the replacements do the business, which they should against a team like Huddersfield, does he leave Pogba out going forward? If not what message does that send to the replacements and Pogba himself? Yet if there was a shock result for Huddersfield those loud guffaws you will hear in the background will include Pogba. Seems like a lose lose psychologically to me?

Well; utd can get to 90 points if they win all their remaining games. Therefore we need 21 more points from a possible 33 (20 ought to do it though; I can't see utd pulling back 24 goals on us in their last dozen games).

Not nice of Utd to not give the ball back after Huddersfield put it out to allow Sanchez back on his feet. I guess it's ok because, you know, Utd like REALLY want to win this.

Jack Stephens went 38 games without scoring for Southampton.

Now he has 3 in 3 games!

sanchez is some boy to lose a ball

Sanchez has been awful again, if he keeps it up will Maureen throw him under the bus next week as well like he did to Pogba and Jones for this match? No.

Jayop

Everton

Delighted for Burnley to get something today didn't see anything of the game after the first few minutes but I have a real soft spot for them. Dyche is a class act.

The ginger Mourinho. I'd actually love to see what he could achieve at a big club.

A big club will never hire him though, he eats worms.

WBA making a game of it against Liverpool B.

2-3 now.

Harry Palmr

Brighton seeing off West Ham 3-1 Glenn Murray is some man for the goal.

The bottom half is just mad for it's points spread.

Huddersfield were never looking to pick up anything today but the next few games for them they mainly play a who's who of relegation candidates.

Mangala left with a 2v0

Dont think everton fans will put up with big sam for much longer. He will be shown the door in the summer if he makes it that far

So is the arsenal crisis over?

It's a home game, we've been grand at home throughout.

Everton

This could end up double figures

pjohnson

The Mangala effect.

Berserker

Arsenal are a strange outfit. Hard to understand how they can be so good at home but so poor on the road.

The negative Mourinhio vibes being eroded from Mkhitaryan.

Everton

Lol so predictable

JPA

That Everton lineup is odd. 7 defensive players and 3 lads stuck up front then just hope for the best?

That's how he deceived us. Normal service will be resumed soon enough.

1 out of 10 for your tr*****g though.

They never bothered signing a left back for some reason.

The Allardyce effect didn't actually last that long did it?

He'll be gone in the summer. Everton fans don't even want him there.

Good show lads.

Have Everton even had a shot on target?

Yeah, they have 31 points. So they need three more wins to guarantee safety. They'll get them at home. He'll be off after that and Silva will take over.

eagle eye

And Silva will fail miserably and they'll be starting all over again.

I don't understand how fans of a team don't get behind a manager until he proves he doesn't deserve their support. Everton were in a dad place when Allardyce too over. Things have improved and surely he deserves a chance come the summer to show what he can do the following season.

5-1. Assist number three for Mkhitaryan

That is some level of deflection from Allardici in the post match interview. Blaming the players for everything and accepting no responsibility for what has to be one of the worst 1st half performances I've ever seen. The man is a complete and utter charlatan.

Typical Sam takes all the credit when they win and none of the blame when they lose.

Rw:Pep not having enough players...
Is there not a limit to who you can play in the epl, like can you only name from a squad of 25 players or something?

Think its 25 senior players included a certain amount of homegrown players and then as many academy as you want so could easily have added a player
