Not acceptable from any Everton manager or team that performance.
Dire team selection, cowardly in fact, predictable tactics that play right into the opponents hands and players who don’t look like they can be arsed is a recipe for that mess which just stole two hours of our life.
I can just about take Young starting at RM against one of the top teams when you think up will be under the cosh and need some defensive support; I can just about take full backs not over lapping or joining the attack against a top side, have to be careful; I can just about take route one hoof to one striker up against 3 massive cbs on his todd, against a top side, even though I find it braindead.
I’m not having all that against a seriously depleted, managerless palace team who were there for the taking. Glad of the point at the death, but it’s really frustrating and disappointing.
it can’t always be on the crowd to get things going either, we’re all flat with the appeal and second points deduction hanging over us, we can’t keep going to the well if it’s ran dry.
Players need to take responsibility and be brave.
Everton were cowardly from the manager , his staff and to the players tonight, I don’t want to see that again or we’re done.
Give me 50% of the Everton team that played with fire and determination just after the points deduction and beat Chelsea, Newcastle and Forest - we win tonight with that.
