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

Does anybody else feel that Seamus has lost his mojo and is been caught out of position?

Defo. Slow in mind and not at all great as a defender. Baines is also not a great defender.

 

[Saint Domingo]

GOT logic:

When we lose or draw to a team below us: 'anyone can beat anyone in this league, no one is entitled to any win'

When we lose or draw to a side above us: They've got a better squad than us and spent more money yet you're complaining about dropped points?! A draw was the best our squad could hope for.

 

[TheNinja]

And that has what exactly do to with Everton?

"A great squad in the bottom half, wahay!"

 

[Kiwi]

Yes because it was a must win game in light of the last two home games. We got a goal up and still managed to mess it up with yet more appalling defending. Our Christine period has messed up all chances of a decent league finish now, all thanks to that clown Martinez.

Wasn't really appalling defending mate, it was average defending, switching off for a step followed by a top class run and finish.
Appalling defending would be Coleman not tracking the run or getting well caught out of position.
Even that massive Kopite Tyler said as much.

You see what you want to see I guess.

That was an excellent game of football. I can't think of anything to moan about. Enjoyed it. Goodison is an exciting place these days

The entire first half apart from when Lennon scored?

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

I'm merely pointing out anybody saying things are fine or we'll start winning by some sort of miracle has no idea whatsoever, as literally everything is pointing at it being completely the opposite.

Who would you say was more likely to win 57th minute on? "Literally everything" jaysus give it a rest or find your dog to kick.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Better second half. Not being able to win a game or see a game out is becoming a massive issue for us.

 

[banno]

Not without merit, neither. Thought he was a constant problem until he went off. Outshone Barkley...Probly because Barkley allowed him to.

If Spurs had allowed Barkley the same room as him then it would have been different. We need Besic and another Besic in midfield because he doesn't allow anyone much time and space.

He used to score now and again.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Infinitely better second half, but I'm still baffled by the reluctance to play two wide players in the wide positions. I thought the subs were spot on, but it should have been Besic for Cleverly and Gerard for Kone. Baines looks rusty still, but as an attacking threat he's irrelevant at the moment because he has Kone or some other non wide player in front of him.

Hopefully Besic has played his way into the side though as he transformed us. We need someone not afraid to get stuck in with McCarthy out so hopefully he plays on Wednesday.

 

[riddick]

Spurs play like we want to. Pretty simples

We cannot hold on to a lead.
Good 2nd half but shocking 1st half.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Does this put us top of the non loss table? What about percentage goals that aren't set pieces table?

 

[Eggs]

....there's no doubt we have more threat when Deulofeu is on the pitch.

 

[Steve Wigan]

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.

Besic...nearest thing to Tony Kay since....Tony Kay.
