from what I read though, 777 has already loaned Everton money (over $200m) to stay afloat which then I think makes things more complicated. (though 777 are not the only company to loan Everton money -- MSP did and if there's a default in the payment, they take over a majority of the club (this is what I've seen banded about). 

Why are we assuming we lose to Liverpool? Hopefully we can get something from that game.

When I first mentioned shot save percentage on a previous page I did preface it by saying it was not a complete analysis.  Anyway, this discussion kicked off with the claim that “Onana is the worst keeper in the league and it’s not even close”. I’m not making the claim he’s the best in the league, just that he’s actually a pretty good player who is being dragged down by a fairly poor United defence. 

Cmon, Alonso is clearly there or thereabouts in that top 5. For many of the same reasons that Unai is because of his achievements with Villa actually. It's Klopp in that top 5 that I would be having the question mark over.

He was probably signed to play the Bailey role to be fair and then Bailey’s form has made him undroppable.

I'll be honest though I hate shit like this. Winds me up. Makes me angry that people who don't give an ass to read reports fail to do better.

As somebody previously mentioned, we faced them 6 times in the Championship. Of course we only managed to take one point off them in the first year, but we took 6 points off them the following year under Bruce (including the aforementioned 4-0 at Portman Road) and our promotion year we won 2-1 at Villa Park, drew 1-1 away. Looking forward to having them back in the top tier.
