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

[Lee Smith]

That could have been a broken leg.

From the side angle you clearly see Pickford’s leg bow. If there had been a full contact it would have been a 100% leg snap

Poor Half. ? Think we have been pretty good bar scoring

Lol

 

[Sean Ashley]

Just makes it more embarrassing when we fail to beat a team with 10 men for over half a match. I just can't see where a goal is coming from. We used to hang a lot on set pieces but the corners have been dreadful. Our problem before was beating the first man, now every one of them is overhit.

We have been okay. More play then previous games. The red will help us like. But Everton will never make it easy.

Poor Half. ? Think we have been pretty good bar scoring

And that precisely is the problem...

 

[Toffeelover]

If we can’t expect us to win at this point then what is Dyche even doing as a manager?

Wanking

 

[Trout Masked Replica]

Ndiye off the left with runners is probably better than in the middle against 9

Odd decision, there’s no evidence Ndiaye can play there after all.

Good point. Maybe just a bit of the old Dyche magic - tactical genius.

Playing at home with the scores level for 45 minutes left against a team with ten men who have lost ALL of their away games so far… I’m not sure how much easier Dyche could have got it now, let’s see what he tries to actually win a game for a change. There can be no excuses for him if he doesn’t do something to win from here

I’m sure one someone will have an excuse, pick from:
Harder to play against 10 men
Brentford are miles ahead of us the results were always going to turn
No subs
The wind
The rain
Lampard (seeing as he’s back in the argument agenda)

 

[lungo]

All that practicing playing with the ball should really pay off here…

With his balls you mean.

That could have been a broken leg.

Could have killed him

 

[Wat Tyler]

If we lose this I hope it's the game that finally turns the match-going fans against Dyche. Fans' pressure is the only way he's going to leave before his contract is up.

Obviously it'd be better for the manager to simply realise we've got 45 minutes against 10 men and push the team to go for the win instead of attempting a 0-0 at home.

Prepare yourself for the fume

 

[Joey66]

With Doucs its 10v10 - done very little..

 

[lungo]

And that precisely is the problem...

They should have scored 3 at least. I mean Brentford..

 

[Ring master]

Can't remember the last time the opposition had an early red card. Need to be patient and nothing stupid to give the ref chance to even things up.

Everton 5 West Brom 2

Gibbs right on HT

Come on Sean. Just 45mins to hold on for a hard earned draw here pal.
