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

Funny how both center backs were beat by that long ball but mori gets all the abuse

 

[Wat Tyler]

Alls we do is play from back and spurs are onto it so they just press us dead high up and we concede possession so quickly. We are so easy to play against.

 

[fareastblue]

I wish my team plays like spurs

 

[Joey66]

The sound of the up right getting smashed should have done that Joe!

Yes they have shot on sight - we seem to dither apart from Lukaku!

 

[Kantareller]

Mirallas or Besic for Kone now. Where has Barkley been? Not showing us he can play further back. Cleverly doesn't stay home enough for this line up. He needs to be on the left helping Baines.

Has never done ever, really. He's an attacking player, has always been and is always going to be.

If Jags is fit enough to make the bench he's got to be fit enough to play. We need him big time it seems. Also like to Besic at some point.

 

[daza_1973]

We must be due a Pen / opponent red / an ugly win

 

[Pacman]

Is anyone actually not arsed anymore? When they scored I wasn't even fuming like usual, we ain't going aywhere with Martinez as manager and anyone who expects anything other than a bottom half finish is deluded.

Even with Moyes we had atleast some fight in us. Absolutely fed up.

 

[banno]

Behave it's a great finish ffs

If you want to blame someone look at Stones and Mori or further forward.

If we are looking for blame it has to be a forward player for not closing down a punt and Coleman for not being strong enough. Simple goal for them through lack of awareness. Not Stones or Moris fault and not Howards fault

And Howard.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

the solution: get besic in, put cleverly on the left for kone.

I'd like to see that tbh. Besic is more likely to break up play than Cleverley (who tbf has been solid). Cleverley is needed upfield because our decision making up front has been abysmal.

 

[steken1]

Let's get tighter than maradona's shorts on Eriksen. Let's move 10 yards up the pitch and let's se Barkley, Lukaku and Lennon covering more ground when we don't have the ball and then it's a proper match.

All this letting sides play easy football needs lashing quick. There's no shame in doing the ugly stuff and doing it well. If Messi and the likes can run the legs off themselves these beauts can too.

 

[MACCA75]

On course for routine 3-1 defeat here. Mirallas maybe with a late consolation.

He has been wick though. Looks so uncomfortable on the ball too.

It's not as if Tottenham aren't going to come out without confidence and play worse
