That performance last night - particularly Pickford's - really helped my fantasy footy score for the week.
62pts isn't close to my best weekly score yet, but it's much better than it was looking like it was gonna be, over the weekend π€·π»ββοΈ

Especially considering THAT start to the game, that is an absolutely bloody fantastic result.
Pickford immense, obviously - but they all stepped up and got the job done. Brilliant.

Just keep playing the same as we did in the first half, rather than just sitting back and trying to defend the lead, please and thank you π

Start the game quite well.
Then one player goes off injured.
Then another gets sent off for THAT.

So, having not managed to get tickets to the actual Oasis tour, tonight I went to see an Oasis tribute act (Definitely Mightbe) instead.
You know what? They were actually really good, had a great night π€·π»ββοΈπ€πΈ

So the Foos are playing in Liverpool next year, which is nice.
Shame they picked the wrong stadium though.

Not quite my worst fantasy footy weekend yet (that was 2 weeks ago), but only beat it by 2pts...

After my best week of fantasy footy yet last week, this week has been absolutely bloody shocking so far.
Pretty much reliant on Haaland demolishing the reds for this week's score not to be embarrassingly bad π€·π»ββοΈ

They were disallowed by the linesman rather than VAR, weren't they? I know VAR didn't change the decision (and any checks they did were over much more quickly than most VAR checks I've seen), but disallowing the goals was an "on field decision".

Disallowing 3 Everton goals is a ref on Everton's side?

Would've been nice if more than 2 of them had counted, but even so.
Never really looked like conceding (finally some clean sheet points for the fantasy footy π€·π»ββοΈ).
