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

[jamieni]

A real sickener. Investment needed in Jan. Striker, decent CM and a RB please. Maybe a decent backup keeper to put pressure on Pickford.

 

[Lapeno77]

Our inability to mix it up tactically is a problem. Pochettino knew what our formation and personnel would be all week.
We play 451 week in week out. Maybe the occasional dalliance with 5 at the back for 45 mins.
We're predictable, slow to react and mentally weak.

...no team in this league should concede 6 goals at home. Blame individuals all you want, but we were set up and organised perfectly for the way Spurs play.

I’m afraid the result was a very poor reflection on our Manager, which is very disappointing.

 

[Frang]

Is it worth it sometimes, giving a player a break? Say for the next game Pickford was rested/dropped just to show him if he doesn't perform he won't keep his place, to many players nowadays seen to carry on playing even if they aren't performing.

a kick up the ass that's called.. and yes its needed

Don’t care how anyone excuses it, booing our own players at every given opportunity and groaning at every misplaced pass is genuinely harming our club

This always gets greeted with ‘grown men should react better’ but the point is, they don’t. It’s a joke , Koeman absolutely could not be arsed with Everton because of it , the players must drive home every game and tell their birds that our fans are crap.

They hate playing at home , they’re nervous and jittery. It absolutely stands out a mile , imagine if you was sat at your desk every day doing spreadsheets and your boss just started screaming at you when you made a mistake, it wouldn’t endear him to you at all. It’s absolutely mental behaviour.

We all slate our weird red creature cousins for acting like anything in red is the best thing in the history of mankind , but their players love playing for them, they’re top of the league and we’ve just lost 6-2 at home to Spurs. If they had our squad they would be higher in the league than we are now , not just because of ref decisions - but because they don’t actively discourage their own team.

Proper genuinely weird behaviour. Imagine booing your own players every week. The most absolutely odd thing ever.

You are just out and out Weird.

I heard no booing bar at ft. Even then no one could half be arsed.

It had nothing to do with the result. And frankly they deserved it after that

 

[Frang]

We do seem to be on a very rapid decline at the moment. I genuinely can't see us beating anyone on current form.

a desperate but very organised burnley will out perform us I fear.

 

[Khalekan]

Pickford for me.

I never thought I would see a goalkeeping performance from an EFC goalkeeper that was worse than that of one Drew Brand at Leeds in 1975.

But Jordan proved me wrong

 

[maccavennie]

Oh Everton why do you insist on kicking me in the sack week after week, month after month, year after year

Burnley 0-2 Everton and Crimbo is back on

Up Everton

 

[maccavennie]

It was an utterly plop performance wasn't it K, Paul Gerrard levels of gashness going on.

 

[deipnosophist]

I wonder if @Mikey_Fitzgerald still stands by his call that Spurs will be in for Silva if Poch goes to United...

 

[irishblue11]

should be an option for 'no one' in the motm poll. pathetic from manager and players.

 

[deipnosophist]

Without Gana, we are awful

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Merry bloody Christmas! Can't think positively to vote MOM after shipping in 6 at home!

 

[toffeejack]

God we're turning pathetic. No matter how much the team changes or manager we've been so fragile since moyes left. These last two games are a signal of how bad we are without Gana winning the ball. Hope his haters shut up. Long run off way games now so lets start our season again.
