So what excuse has been offered this time?

We won the possession, just not the game.

Funny how possession has been irrelevant in our other games for Rafael but in this one it’s an indication we deserved to win.

Just got back on the train, absolute disgrace again, for Benitez to say that the players gave everything is an insult to the fans.

Its humiliating to watch us "play" now :-( We ve been through some really dodgey periods but cant see any positive hope in the awful way we play ;-(

I think Most of the players are paid far too much for their ability.
They come to us for big money they know that they will not win anything with us.
They don't seem particularly bothered about winning games. They get their big money whatever the result.

More worrying apart from a couple of exceptions the majority aren’t bothered about losing either!

Someone still like Benitez?....

It shocked me that no one at Everton put pressure on the referee. Instead, they ran to take the corner kick, and let both the referee and VAR get away with it. It was a very passive / indifferent attitude.

Looks a pen from the still but the reason Rondon didn’t appeal is because he was trying to pin the defender and stop him getting to the ball which was heading straight onto Doucoure’s head.

I have heard the old chestnut 'patience' being rolled out again.

Was the same all match. Godfrey 50/50 just outside there box, given as a freekick to them. Nothing..no question the decision..

As soon as I heard that Toney hadn’t scored at home this season, I knew what was happening.

This is why we need winners in the team, we have none

Absolutely spot on - can't believe he said that !
