I hope Naismith makes an appearance in the Derby,he's got plenty of experience in the old firm derby's when the pace is fast and the tackles are flying in.
We can't be [Poor language removed] footing around in midfield when we play the ****e. Everton need to push them up the pitch and play with some pace, especially on the counter attack.

I suppose the fact that we're fuming after a draw that puts us 5th is a good indicator that our expectations are (quite rightly) on the way back to where they should be.

Fume away lads, it's healthy, but keep some perspective.

Deulofeu is the sole highlight of today.

The highlight of today was the ref blowing for full time.

 

[ijjysmith]

The thing is, going forward, we had a nice little productive triangle going there with Barkley/Mirallas/Lukaku; that was tinkered with for whatever reason.

I can't for the life of me work out why he changed this.

Struggling mate.

The next 4 games are so so tough.

I appear to have included Stoke at home as tough there. But it's us. We'll make it tough.

I counter with

the Chang Elephant is not amused with today's effort.

You can always bank on Everton to help a team in need more than any other team,awful and typical everton at times-need a draw/win,a goal,a 100th goal,call us lol,we were awful at times and palace had 4 not half chances but very clear chances that they should have scored,3 in a minute before ht and that chip one in 2nd half,we are only playing ok in certain parts of certain games

In the wake of such a disappointing draw, it's difficult to see how. We also seem to have developed a tendency to leave ourselves wide open at the back. They may be utter ****s, but their forwards won't waste the chances we hand over to them if we carry on like that.

We're usually solid enough at the back for them not to run riot. Completely different game and I'll be shocked if we don't create more openings than we did today. Their midfield is pretty open and gives plenty of chances for that.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

No direct running through the middle as well...we look dangerous when we do that but we kept turning back or sideways when there was plenty of space to bomb up a few choice occasions.

Is right.

I'm very happy with where we are to be honest. The top half is still very tight.
I think today was an off day.

Barry was brilliant today, really key for us this season.

 

[Lien]

The players deserve ****ing for that, no one can even moan about Barkley or Deulofeu either because neither of them impacted the game at all, infact I feel they were worse when they came on

Completely disagree. We were hardly brilliant in the last 30 minutes but we had a bit more intensity in the final third with them on.

 

[DanEFC92]

Nope, can't take any positives from today.

Naismith's a hard working player, but it shows the weakness of our squad for me when we're advocating him being selected in the biggest game of the season. Not one of the other top 6 would have him.

words of wisdom from Lenny, there...especially on perspective.

Bad day at the office, by everybody on that pitch. Slow on the break, poor touches, poor passing, poor in almost everything.

Move on
