Mate you need to take those Everton specs off. It was the other way round we cut you you to bits. He was offside & and you can’t stand in front of the keeper and make an attempt to head the ball when you’re offside.

You’re “Quality players” were outplayed.

i have to agree with you mate

villa?

Yep...... the same Villa that beat Liverpool 7-2 and who sit 1 point behind us with 2 games in hand

Best bonus ever, because of this forum I'm willing to continue going through this misery lol

At least you've got @carlos21 to comfort you.

Mad game. We could've won or drawn easily. Not getting all the massive negativity, Rico, Allan and James all looked tired - those international weeks are really tough on this squad.

Defence is a worry with both first choice full backs out.

Still in a good position in the league so win against Burnely vital.

when did Gordon last have a friggin chance? are we talking about Everton here or someone else

Southampton

 

[Bob Latchford]

We had enough chances to get something from that. Poor finishing from a couple of players. I expect a lot more from Richarlison especially. Made a complete hash of that chance right before we conceded.

Allan looks sharp again. We need a defensive beast to sit in front of the back to let him get up and down the pitch more. Hopefully Gblammo is the answer, but an answer we'll be waiting a long time for.

I know people slated Godfrey for standing off but I thought generally he was good. Seems to have good defensive instincts and athleticism to match. I think he'll be a very good player for us.

The most frustrating aspect of today is the selection. We seem too fearful. I'd much rather give Nkounkou a go, and go for it, then slug up the pitch with our wingbacks. Then again, how many youths have we hailed as our saviours only for them to end up playing in the championship?

maybe Carlo saying Richy was Ballon d’Or material has went to his head?

We did. But leeds had enough chance to win ten games. I agree on godfrey tho

The disappointing thing for me was that Leeds were clearly the better team first half but we didn’t do anything to change things except somehow we ended up with Doucoure and Delph as wing backs for a while , it was as though there was no plan B , though I m not even sure what Plan A was . At times Allan seemed to be the only midfielder with any energy . Just not good enough.

Stop being an idiot lad.

You were cut open time and again but we missed countless opportunities. I've just looked on whoscored, and your goalkeeper won MOM by a massive distance. That sort of sums it up really. It's funny how (even playing badly) we were outplayed, but your goalkeeper was your best player.

As for Godfrey, I suggest you acquaint yourself with the offside rule, as it doesn't matter where you stand if it's off a Leeds player.

You obviously didnt know what you were getting yourself in to... a whole new world of pain. Imagine having this for the last 30 years!!!! Nothing ever changes, EVER!

I sure didn't but now I know that once you become an Everton fan then you are under a spell to suffer forever

 

[Zezti]

players playing were they did, when you didnt expect them to, makes me think hes going to try this again soon, v Leeds was not the team to make a strange starting 11, i am not sure we actually deserved to lose myself, thought a draw was maybe a fair result, listening to experts make's me think we were battered from start to finish , 2nd half not as good from us, not even sure now lol

A draw would have been fair. Ticks me off all the self depreciation in here "oh leeds were outstanding" "they were the better team", no it was very very fine margins that decided it, while we're playing two midfielders as wingbacks. Our fans love to hate ourselves though.

 

[ForeverEverton]

The same villa that got beat 3-0 by Leeds?

Are you serious? We just lost to Leeds, could have been more than 3-0 if it wasnt for Pickford.........

 

[Blue toffee]

You get what you deserve in life. However the Var call 1st half looks badly off for me. That would make it 1-1.

We are not playing well curently, but if we were in any way clinical we would have scored a hatful. You miss loads of chances though, and generally speaking you lose.

You also lose quite a lot if you keep conceding every single game. It’s not unlucky. We were poor, have been for weeks and I can’t see it improving massively any time soon.

Or he has me to comfort him
