C’mon who was going to be spending £100m on him? He almost engineered a move to United before that. The reality is that he hadn’t even finished a full season injury free and hadn’t had much international exposure. What else was the club to do in that situation?

You can blame Grealish’s camp for inserting the £100m clause. Without it, we weren’t going to be accepting. The knock on effect of his loss has been clear but I think we will see a more rejuvenated side without him. What Grealish does next also depends on what Pep does. Very interested to see how he would adapt under a different manager.

Can’t believe those calves of steel killed Stuart Dallas. What a player.

Very little sympathy for Dallas - he went out of his way to try and injure Grealish. Referee was a coward also for not intervening.

Laughable revisionism penaldo only turns up when the games aren’t important

For sure - Gerrard does coaching - the idea he doesn’t is simply laughable.

Romano is a massive tap-in merchant. That tweet says nothing, nothing that hasn't already been said. Ignore.

I trust Steven's input to help bring that signature Lange smile back in the summer.

Exactly. He doesn’t owe us anything beyond what he’s committed towards. He could be here for 5-10 years or less. Ultimately, if he leaves for bigger things we’ve gotten something right. If not, we move on also. The club will always be bigger than any manager or player.

You’d think he’d quit after his obsessive weird song when we got promoted. What a weirdo he is.

That horrendous goal difference is going to cost Leeds hugely.

Leeds are going down. Huge for Everton to win that game in hand now.

Everton to leapfrog Leeds - one can hope at least.

It’s why I rate Ings over Ollie

Enjoy the win eh

You can only beat what’s in front of you - a controlled comfortable game in the end. A win is still a win and will do Ings and Ollie a world of good to get on the scoresheet. Great to see Chambers back and so happy for young Tim.

Emi might have fitness issues - I’m sure he will get on later. Big call for young Timmy what a move and I’m excited to see him start. Glad Digne is back too. Feels like this might be the last chance for Bailey.

Gerrard's quotes in full are IMO more balanced Gerrard added: "He works extremely hard every day, he’s tenacious and warrior-like in how he goes about it. A lot of our forward players have got to continue trying to keep the crowd in the right place, they have to deliver and execute in the final third, that’s what they get paid to do. But that’s not just at Emi, it’s all of our goal scorers, our wingers, our tens, our attacking players. "We’ve got a lot of talent in the building but the reality is we’re not scoring enough goals of late, that’s what we’re expecting. We’re expecting them to push and score or create in big moments to put us in a better place in the league." He's not singled anyone out but pointed to a flaw in the creavitiy and goal scoring department. Gerrard is pushing him to do better. It's not some conspiracy against him.

BuT GeRrArD hAtEs EmI

Really such an unpleasant, unlikeable club. Can’t stand Moyes or their owners either. That tax payer funded stadium has gone to their heads and fuelled their sense of entitlement.

All part of the master plan

Mad respect for Conor wrestling with Leeds players when they cheated to score few years ago. A wand of a left foot but was always the first to stand up for the team.

Those tourists got a good Groupon to fill those seats

Wonder what the stat comparison is

At least he can win it on FIFA
