Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Runub]

A lot to like but absolutely no cutting edge

 

[Blue83]

Lucky escape at the end there, can't fault the team for their effort so far much better than previous games

 

[HumbleWedbetters]

Digne had no intention of blocking Kane's option to cross. Pathetic. Could have ruined a positive half.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Did they even replay the penalty shout?

 

[Mosh Pit]

That Reguilon chance at the end is why Benitez doesn't trust Gordon, he got caught too far up and didn't track.

Wrong. Coleman was completely out of position

 

[TheBigIguana]

This does demonstrate why we're better not having the ball though. Allan, Townsend, Coleman, Richarlison and to an extent Gray and Gordon can't play in condensed spaces.

Feeling like another one of those where we can't create anything then Iwobi comes on and we score and no one draws a connection

He's got THREE assists in over SIXTY games fella, stop making stuff up lol

 

[sladen90]

This Delph lad looks a decent player

 

[BlueToff]

Played more football on the deck under Allardyce than this

It's why I was so frustrated when it was all about 'attitude, commitment, running laaaaa'

We have no spark going forward, we can't sustain moves. We've been better than the other day but that wasn't hard.

But our manager, and a good chunk of the fanbase, buy into it all being about running and effort.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Did they even replay the penalty shout?

No. It was one of those that was a foul but that they never actually call a foul in the box. He's just shoved him off the ball.

Looking at that half.....

We look lively TBF, line up looks like a 4-1-4-1 cum 4-3-3

Solid and affective going forward, interestingly he is playing Townsend in CM such is the lack of trust in the others like Davies, Gbamin etc...

Pickford

Coleman Godfrey Keane Digne

Delph

Townsend Allan

Gordon................................................Gray

Richarlison​

Coleman didn't help chasing a player halfway across the pitch

I mean it’s not as if Iwobi wouldve been within 10 miles of him either.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Our best chance is with the players who started.
Any sub coming on is not going to strengthen the team.

 

[gazzaa2]

Horrible half to watch. Foul after foul, dive after dive.

Effort is there.
