Match Thread Everton 0-0 Brentford, Saturday 23rd November, 3pm

[Daytripper]

Should be leading, got to be more clinical second half

 

[miami]

Thought we played decent at times. But stupid decisions and poor shooting letting us down again around the box. McNeil has had a couple of decent shooting chances. Too wayward.

 

[GrandOldSte117]

Sean Dyche masterclass coming up

Beto on for Dom
Harrison on for Lindstrom

Chris do you not think a little break would be nice

 

[Vintage]

We will win this comfortably

What does that last word mean? Never heard of it

 

[Sharpattack]

Too many ponderous and pedestrian players in this team. Gueye, Doucoure, and Mykolenko come to mind. They offer very little. Lindstrom is a particularly poor addition to this team. That stat they gave out just before half time is particularly shocking, no goals in his last 63 games and only 7 in his previous 27. Who made the decision to sign anyone, even on loan, with those sort of stats?

 

[Lee Smith]

And some people reckon it wasn’t a red

 

[Sean Ashley]

One of those decisions where no one really expected anything to be given. No one asking for a red. But you have to take the luck when you get it

 

[Daytripper]

The second half the crowd will get more and more antsy the longer we don't score. Need to score early if we're going to

And it’s understandable if the crowd do

 

[slipstream86]

We all agreed with officials that Pickers tackle on VVD wasn’t a red a couple years ago, so I don’t see how this one can be argued polar opposite in good faith.

 

[nsno-chris]

Chris do you not think a little break would be nice

Shut up Steven

 

[eurosrees]

I wonder if we’d win this if they had 9 players sent off and just had Ethan Pinnock and the Keeper left? I’m not convinced.

 

[lungo]

Dyche will explain later, at length, how difficult it is to play against ten men

How many time we have to endure that Dyche crap?Its getting pathetic. Nobody has a clue how to play. Lindstrom isnt better than my grand-mother. I think shes stronger. A 5 month old would be…

 

[Bedfordblue]

That red ticks every box in the book.
Knee high
Studs up
Out of control
Nowhere near the ball

He had to go for it but when you not getting it least try to pull out.
If he’d pulled his foot back or not gone studs up he’s not getting sent off.
Simple.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Just need to use our pace and creative nous in the final third now to break them down.

And hope we don't get caught on the break.

2-0 Brentford then.

Was about to make the same joke

In a way it’s now harder to break them down as they’ll sit even deeper with 10 men… breaking down a low block has been our weakness since James left

whats changed is they are cracking down on it a little more then they did then...
