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

[blueconverse]

Our midfield trying to pass is embarrassing but at least they are putting a shift in

 

[good times bad times]

Very attritional stuff, awful to watch. We are lucky Kane didn't take one of his chances. Would take a point now.

 

[Mickey]

Not a great first half but it is miles ahead of the football we played under Lampard.... We usually have one good half, hopefully it is the next one....

We look arsed, we didnt under Franny Lamps.

 

[MichaelEFC96]

I'd take that. A clean sheet against these is no mean feat.

I’d be disappointed, a game we really need to win.

Spurs bypass midfield with long accurate balls - we have to push their defence more giving them far too much time - we need more pressure on them .....

 

[witchdoc187]

Think Onana, Gray, Doucouré and Iwobi have been awful.

Garner and Simms for Iwobi and Doucouré for me.

Funny old game isn't it. I think doucoure has been excellent. Iwobi played well bar a few sloppy passes and Onana has been good too.

 

[TyphooToffee]

We've got to make these home games count. Spurs look toothless so we need to get into them second half .

 

[Look to the future]

Iwobi shocking. Get Sims on! Gray out wide.

Duke missed the best chance of the half.

 

[Mashtray]

When they break the press, they've got in. The wingbacks also causing a lot of danger.

That's not to say we've not played well...just think they've got the quality to punish while we don't unless we stop them

Conte played a masterclass at spurs this season.

They lured us in to this false sense of possession and punished us on the break.

Very weary of that

 

[TheNinja]

Good first half, great pressing at times but lacking ideas and cutting edge in the final third as we have all season. Only look like doing anything from set pieces and Spurs will probably end up doing us on the counter attack second half.

 

[EvertonCJ]

Think we've been the better side tbh. And I'm generally pessimistic

They have the quality up front, which you would expect. We’ve limited them to very few chances. We’re going to win this.

 

[jonnyboy316]

We are impotent going forwards. I think 0-0 is right so far but they are the far more likely winners. Draw not bad for us

This.
Yes. My thoughts exactly.
