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

Onana is tremendous, do worry he'll have theatrics around him now though.

His booking was a joke.

Might be my favourite player already.

Also maupay fits franks game plan. Good buy.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

The difference having maupay on upfront is night and day

Think him alongside a Calvert-Lewin will be great. He causes a nuisance.

 

[GoldenToffee]

In fairness I said yesterday that the referee would love to send off Onana today. Utterly atrocious officiating today, the fouls by Gomez and Tsimikas, the constant fouls by Firminho, unbelievable.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Nah. Too defensive a move. He is an out ball

If it’s 0-0 after an hour I would

 

[bluelife]

Sick of the commentry and pundits gaslighting me over that nuniez.

The shot he hit only went on target because it took a deflection

Haha yes, was going for a throw in. Put two easy headers off target and giving it away left, right and centre. He's naff. Not looking forward to Firmino coming on.

 

[The_Street_End]

Playing well. Thought we either got tired or concentration levels dropped. They were doing nothing there besides the last flurry when we looked a bit.. off?

 

[Mashtray]

Seems like the refereeing from last season has leaked through to this season.

The anti everton mandate has been solidified. More official guidelines.

Think moshiri has pissed off the FA consortium

 

[bullybeef]

I’m just gonna say it, Tom Davies has played really well and should have scored.

**runs**

You need a dump lad?

 

[jonnyg]

Behave man, he's a professional footballer. He'll know the sketch. TD been doing well again. Haters gonna hate that.

Not having a go at Onana, we're never on a level playing field when it comes to the officials in this game

The weird hatred for Tom Davies is getting a bit embarrassing on GOT these days. Lad’s playing well why would you sub him off.

I think he is playing well. missed a chance but it was a reaction shot
I don't think it is hatred by most. its just they don't rate him highly as a footballer and that's their opinion.

for me he is a squad player who doesn't stand out at anything. but he is committed and gives 100%.

 

[BlueStevie35]

No complaints there, we’ve took it to them, inch of the post either way from being 1-up or 1 down. JP’s save was stunning

 

[BenToffee79]

It was pre determined Everton get a yellow first, this is how they gain control because now Onana knows one mistimed challenge he’s off , never ever a yellow that,the foul on gray by Gomes which went completely unpunished was borderline corrupt

 

[allen]

Logic is take off your worst player on the day

He’s not, though. He’s also much more likely to get us a goal than another defensive mid.

 

[Neiler]

Need to stay concentrated, disciplined and focussed here.

This game will come down to changes, running the bench and how each manager manages changes and reacts to that second half.
