The game was containment first half. Always felt we would change shape second half and get more control.

I was glad their goal came early and gave us time to respond. Always feel we have the ability to score now.

^^^^^^
In response to me saying I was gonna watch later...haha...Wow...that bad huh? Will do. Thanks for the heads up!

It’s like somebody else quoted, ‘you need to watch the 1st half to enjoy the 2nd half’

enjoy bud ?

Great feeling celebrating Townsends beaut and then I have to stop to then celebrate Grays.

 

[ForestBlue]

Lots played well 2nd half but I'm giving it to a man who needs our love and his goal got us going.. Michael Kean

 

[BlueTX]

Saw the score and I'm quite happy at the result. Can't wait to watch the match later tonight when the kiddo is asleep.

Kiddo will sleep soundly until the 65th minute.

That was as poor as we have played all season and we still won, Atkinson set the tempo for a bad game, absolute bellend that ref, voted Doucoure MOTM, though Allan and Townsend ran him close

…so, it’s past midnight and I’m in Cyprus. I left the all-inclusive enclave with Mrs Eggs & found an Irish bar up the road, They put a screen on of the match where there wasn’t a screen, there were loads of Evertonians.

For anyone who thinks we are a ‘small club’, we are a big club. A bar in Cyprus erupted when we scored.

Townsend the two pivotal moments in the game, MoM.

 

[ramacca]

Doucoure or Townsend. Doucoure nudged it for me, as he was instrumental in keeping us going when we were playing poorly.

 

[Toffeepot]

That ridiculous 3CB system needed changing from minute 1. At Home, against Burnley, boggles the mind. The fact it took conceding for RB to get Gomes ready is annoying af. Why change it in the first place? we'd been playing well last few. How we played after the change speaks for itself and I hope we never see that system again and I dont care if its against City or Liverpool. Anyway rant over! 3 points in the end and top4

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

James where are you????

Richy should respond more maturely to a sub though

 

[Death]

Players and fans did themselves proud

Don't dare include yourself in that.

you thought those goals were from 'workhouse' players? wow, I thought they were terrific.

I don't think it's unfair on them to say thats the type of players they are. It doesn't mean they can't score good goals. Townsend is known for his blammos. We've sorely missed that kind of work ethic, so long may it continue.
