    Covid doesn't care about fitness and it can tear people's lungs to shreds. There's several stories about hyper fit people still struggling months later. There was an ultra marathon runner in oz who's lungs were still a mess 6 months later. I'd guess Mane will recover quickly but it's not a given.

    Look at Pogba the first two games. Barely moving around the pitch at all.

    He's only back after Covid.

    Is that because of COVID or because of Pogba though? That level of performance is very regular for him.

    Mahrez also had it and he scored a cracker of a goal last week.

    I think we need a bigger sample size.

    Maybe he got COVID 4 years ago because that’s Pogba 95% of the time. Had he got a peno or an assist It would be considered one of his good performances.

    If Covid can catch Mane then it can catch anyone.

    Bar Karius of course, who can't catch anything.

    Have the authorities said anything about the handball situation or are we in for the latest round of sh*tshows this weekend?

    Simon Harris is monitoring the situation...

    no allan or gomes for everton today, and they have to trot out sigurdsson and tom davies again, brighton looked very good v chelsea and united and were unlucky to lose both games. brighton to win 2-1 if they can put away their chances.

    Pickford is an absolute joke of a keeper.

    Everton should get a keeper before the deadline. He's getting worse.

    I can't think of any other keeper who has 'survived' so many mistakes.

    He continues to start for Everton, he continues to get selected for England.

    I don't understand it at all.

    Carlo surely out of patience now.

    Can see them solidifying their interest in Romero.

    Long may he continue to be England's no 1.

    De Gea wouldn't be to far behind him the last two seasons.
