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

[gonetomorrow]

Credit Tottenham. Their pressing game is well rehearsed. We have to move at twice the pace to get anywhere.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Should stones not just be heading that lumped pass forward away ?

Not Howard's fault for a change.

It's pretty poor.

Stones has lost it, he's nothing without Jags wiping his arse, way too inexperienced to be the senior CB in our team the last 2 months.

 

[MACCA75]

That would be 3-2 then ??

Only if the 'maybe' happens!

 

[LocalNative]

Barkley has been far too deep too and as a result has been so ineffective.

 

[bicycleheader]

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

decent shout

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I'd much rather score a million direct goals than miss a million elegant chances. Roberto needs to realize that we have Godkaku up top who is perfectly capable of bringing everyone into play from the long balls.

#bringbackmoyes

He'd do wonders with this squad tbh.

 

[USABlue]

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

Even ignoring his culpability in the goal, he was absolute horsemuck in the first half

Not saying mori has played well, just more of a comment on how stones always escapes any criticism. Hes a boss player but boss players can still make mistakes

 

[riddick]

No changes it seems

 

[Jxg]

Nah mate.

Not Howard's biggest fan but I don't think there was much else he could have done there.

Others were at fault.

Drop the goon, it should be saved

 

[Southern Yankee toffee]

Positive subs at 60 please. Get someone hungry on.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Baines has looked like a little lost boy without an outlet in front of him

Yup he beats his man with one-twos and clever runs. Never happening with Kone.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Spurs are making it difficult for us to play but I think we've done well at restricting them to long shots. Moment of inexperience in our central defence led to their goal (how many times have we said that) but we're still in this.

 

[Eggs]

It's almost as if he's given a free role which of all the attackers we have he'd be the last I'd give it to since he never tries defensively.

....the thinking is to link with Lukaku but as I said before the game Walker will be a real danger. We've been chasing this game, here's hoping things change now.

 

[Abraders]

going nowhere under martinez had enough him nea, i put much blame on howard but maybe now i realise it's our terrible terrible defending that is comical and not him
