At least we showed one resilience, in coming back and not crumbling like we did against Southampton and Newcastle. It's started to become all to repetitive, defence, defence and if a keeper keeps getting beat with shots from outside the area, he should be dropped until he improves in that area.
 
I voted for Iwobi because there was no-one else deserved a tick for a good game. I only voted for Iwobi
as he is slightly better now than when he first came to us. We really must have the worst team, manager,
back-room staff, owners and probably supporters in the premiership. I am absolutely sick of it!
Owner and Manager are better than all but a couple of teams in the Prem.
West Ham and Newcastle fans might argue re the owner certainly. If they could afford him the majority of clubs would fancy Carlo to improve them.

There is a poor attitude/culture among many of the player group which needs sorting big time. Too many managers in too short a time resulting in a confused direction and identity.
 

I have looked at the vid of Siggy not scoring a few times now. His miss was awful, could have hit harder or taken it one side to go round Pope but no. What a real **** up.
 
The performance was equal to the reward.
Another day we cave in and get beat, like we have been doing.

Too many less than average players in our squad, but we all already know this.
 
Is it me or was that a typical Pickford goal we conceded?,yeah poor from Allan but I still believe a bigger fella in goal has a chance of saving it, great block to keep us in it a 1-0 but my heart is racing every time we concede a corner or free kick,every team is onto us

Its a typical Everton goal to concede rather than just Pickford and I think the issue is that we don't close down enough on the edge of the box.

Their player had all the time in the world yesterday to set himself, pick his spot and fire it into the corner of the net, most top flight players will be able to do that given a bit of time and space and we let it happen every week.

Compare it with our players when we get to the edge of the box, constantly getting closed down so we play it backwards or our shots get blocked/charged down every single time. Its why we rarely score from outside the box.
 

I'm fed up with highly paid professional footballers turning their back when they try to block a hard shot, thereby making of themselves a smaller target/easier to miss. This needs to be coached out of them. Stand up and face it, for God's sake. Yes, i know it might sting a bit if it hits you on the thigh, etc but MAN UP! You don't see goalkeepers turning their backs. In fact, when i played (at an extremely low level of) Sunday league, i would always face the shot full on in order to give myself the maximum chance of blocking it. Pity Keane didn't do that yesterday.
 
At the start of the season if we got told we would be 5 points of the top off the table after a quarter of the season gone....im sure most of us would of took that?
Work in progress....anything is still possible...come on you blueboys!!!
 
Was good for the their goal as well... Teachers pet needs stern words in his ears, billy big nuts better start growing into the mature professional we supposedly signed.
Yeah it was a daft pass, but Doucoure is also to blame for it, then Keane stands five yards off Brady and lets him pick his spot.

If you said we’d be 9th with the teams below us having 1 or 2 games in hand, you wouldn’t have been best pleased.
