Match Thread Everton v Spurs. 3rd Jan at 1600.

Great to have another leader on the pitch in Besic.

Loved how Besic went over to Stones when he dribbled the ball out, and applauded him.

 

[Anna]

Besic man of the match, very frustrating he's the only one bothering to close down and put pressure on them though. The fact Mirallas didn't get on in that game says a lot, he must surely be on his way out

 

[RomanReigns]

'the draw specialists' sigh.

 

[roydo]

Terrific second half.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Not the prefect result obviously but a lot should be taken from that second half. Players like Mori, Stones and Cleverley really showed a lot of character to turn that first half performance round.

Also worth noting Martinez made some very early and positive subs that needed making. The best of which was Besic who had a great game and showed a lot of skill, character and leadership when he came on.

 

[Darth Vader]

All about effort and desire that. Everything else in football follows that. Could be a turning point

Honestly we play like we did in the second half against City and we have a chance

First half was up there with last Xmas when we got rolled over by Hull at home

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Happy with that because Bob showed some tactical nous with those substitutions

myself tought he should subbed cleverly, other than that, just like what i wanted.

 

[wandyr79]

Besic changed the game, showed the others how to show a bit of passion. Has to come in for the absolutely useless Cleverley on Wednesday.

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Best game of the season honestly. Besic made such a difference that it would be criminal to leave him out of the side for the next game.

He'll be left out.

 

[when i score we riot]

I am gushing about Tottenham's centre back pairing here.

Also, we did well. Barry, Besic and Stones delivered. Coleman partly shaky, partly excellent. Koné needs dropping, Barkley bad first half but better second.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Spurs won the first half, we won the 2nd, fair result.

Cool, do we get extra points for that? Otherwise we're looking rather pathetic in the bottom half aren't we? What's the excuse? Phil Jagielka being injured?

 

[Kiwi]

Besic was fantastic when he came on.
Lloris makes a couple of great saves, but a draw probably a fair result.

 

[My Friend George]

Great 2nd half and a good point. Could have snatched it, but I would have definitely taken a point at half time. Well done lads and good substitutions Roberto.

 

[Darth Vader]

Really eager to see if Martinez learns from this and drops Kone

I thought Clev was really decent today.
