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

Mirallas in the last ten for Cleverley would have won us that I reckon.

Yup. Would agree with that. But we made chances still. Mirallas might've added that quality to finish them off though.

 

[RFUS]

We didn't make their goalkeeper make any outstanding saves.

The Besic volley.

But mainly he was bolting off his line as we played loads of good through balls. Showed his class there and made me loathe having Howard in goal all the more.

Martinez did everything right second half. The way we ended is the starting squad until jags and McCarthy are back.

Finally a good half time talk and positive subs. Aching for a winner but positive feelings still.

Spot on. That second half was old school. Pressing, work rate, chances.

 

[Kiwi]

look at the league table, yeah?

I am mate. Unless I'm blind we have 18 games to go.
Season is nowhere near finished. Plenty of time to make our way up it if we play like we have going forward and sure up at the back.

Oh I understand the reasoning but there was a period of time where he moved into Lukaku's space and he pushed Lukaku out left which is just not going to help in any way.

Saying all this we look better pressing this half.

....I wouldn't mind so much if he as scoring consistently but Kone isn't adding much on that front. I'd prefer a solid team shape but that's just me.

Ok no more Kone please Mr Martinez, he's not good enough

besic was superb. 2nd half was better but thought spurs were going to score every tme they attacked.

 

[witchdoc187]

Anyone else see what Stones "mouthed" after calming the fans down??

Eff me. Was wondering why people panicking.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

I said awhile ago he was a future captain in the making.

Needs games desperately but he's got confidence and character clearly.

 

[Dexter]

Let's not overreact. We didn't make their goalkeeper make any outstanding saves. Is that what we've been reduced to under Martinez? Calling home draws "terrific"? Very, very sad times.

How can we become great again when our fans think that being average is terrific

Look yeah, our form definitely suggests we'll start winning loads of games soon!

 

[zaitken]

Besic. Wow. Instantly noticeable how he changed the game for us when he come on. If the defence hadn't gone to sleep in the dying minutes of the first half we would have won that game. Having said that, Spurs are very impressive. Overall satisfied with a draw.

 

[LAToffee]

Much better second half. Great subs.
