Match Thread Everton 3-2 Spurs 2pm Sunday 19th

[banno]

3-0 up at half time, could have been 5. Spurs on the back foot.
Same old Moyes. Total negativity. Three defensive substitutions, simply letting the opposition know that we will sit back and try to cling on.
Five more minutes and we’ve have drawn or lost this one.

There wasn't 5 more minutes because we played the allotted time.........and guess what? We scored more than Spurs and got 3 points

Much better performance.

 

[when i score we riot]

I just flipped on the Ipswich / City match and Ben Godfrey is out there on loan at Ipswich.

Go get in there with a two footer on Haaland in your own box, agent Godfrey

In other news, Citeh just scored against Ipswich... we need them to get more... then it'll be a really good weekend for us

I thought Beto on for Doucoure would have stretched them a bit in the last 20 minutes or so. A few times Douc`s got on the end of some forward ball but never looked like doing anything positive. Sometimes you can close out a game by having some fresh legs running in behind the back 4.

Doucs should not even play ....

Thought the crowd was great today - finally given something to get behind.

Hopefully the players will have fed off that. If they look to recreate that environment to build the atmosphere then it’ll turn into a mutually-beneficial feedback loop.

Doucs was knackered at kick off

True, not his best game...

 

[Donegal blue]

It will be a learning curve for Moyes with these players, but by god that was a whole lot better, Moyes job now to fill in the blanks.

So go on, I was in work and only got to look at my phone after about 40 mins and saw 2-0, I was made up but we never make things easy do we.

Did we play better? Etc etc

Doucs should not even play ....

I think he could be an asset off the bench as his energy and pressing could be a real weapon when the opposition tire.

 

[Dixieslaces]

Best first 45, I've witnessed in a long time!

Lindstrom superb
Ndiaye has a Trick Trev/Pieenar vibe.
DCL great technique for his goal, tight space, does superb.
Tarks some great tackles 1st half
Myko some of his crosses last week and today were excellent
O'brien looks solid


Arse twitchy last 20 but they looked well coached 1st half, we can't rid the whole dycheball era in one strike so the nervy 20 shows much still needed

But it's good to be a Blue again.*

*always has been to be fair but much easier when we play well, get stuck in and actually showed aom real quality in 1st half!

Sniff it Dyche!

Common sense replies like that aren't appreciated here...

moyes fist pumps at the end?

i want to see!?

 

[Leylo]

I agree with everyone who expressed dismay with some of the late game subs. That is solely on the manager.

Oh stop moaning ffs

We attacked, we played as a team. Bit of a sacrifice that attacking makes more gaps for our defence but it was a pleasure to watch. Exciting for the neutral also.
Playing like today will see more wins but maybe more losses but we all know that 1 win is better than 2 draws.
