Match Thread Everton v Them - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[TheVelourFog]

Pickford MOM but Patterson excellent

need someone else on set pieces though, havent taken a decent corner in years

 

[matty1878]

Getting tired of the ‘What a performance’ Cup. 4 points against 6 trash teams is awful

here we go

 

[Paul Rideout]

god this motm pick is hard.

Onana, Patterson & Tom (still think he was unlucky to go off) were brilliant.

I'm giving it to Pickford

 

[MikeH72]

If Coady had been a thimble less eager…

 

[Pootsy]

Well we saw that Patterson can defend today. Improvements all over the pitch and with a better striker we could have won it.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Who is the better player though, Nunez or Haaland? lol

 

[Steve EFC]

Ah well no one beats us. That's good. But we need some wins.

They will come mate.

 

[Davideeyore]

We are improving but obviosuly need the 3 points.

Might be a bit of bravado but I can see us winning our next match.

 

[Cool_Blue]

Patterson was unreal. My MOTM today.

Dave is not happy about this

 

[gonetomorrow]

I'm always saying it but if we can play with that intensity all the time we'll be well of trouble this season.

 

[brownmola]

Gana snuffing out their chances just like the old days while progressively moving the ball up the pitch on counters. There were at least 5 or 6 moments where he showed his class in that game in such a short period of time.

 

[RAFUH]

Always thought we had a chance which after last year is a massive improvement.

 

[Muggins]

Does anyone else think that match was INSANE!!

should have been a straight red for that challenge on Onana, how the poor lad carried on playing after that is incredible. Wouldn’t surprise me if he gets a scan and finds a fracture or something. Onana was immense!

 

[BlueStevie35]

If Coady had been a thimble less eager…

Or Milner had longer toes

 

[maccavennie]

Felt we went toe to toe with them and didn’t look like we were hanging in.

Good performance today and could have knocked it

Great wasn't it. That wasn't a complete backs to the wall performance (though there were moments as we'd expect) and there were a lot of positives to take in that game.
