Crap

 

[Saint Domingo]

Not voting any of them. Supporters should all be refunded and given an apology and the Hierarchy should get all the players and Management team together and tell them straight that its not good enough for EFC and there has to be a rapid improvement. The whole of December has not been good enough but that today was in a different league and you would be forgiven for thinking that Martinez was still in charge.

To have 6 goals scored against you at home by any team is a disgrace and it highlights that there are still big problems throughout the club, management and team. Heads going down, dodgy decisions, none of it is an acceptable excuse. They are highly paid professionals and if they cannot pick themselves up and put a competent and passionate effort in no matter what happens in a match, then they want fecking right off and replacing with people that will. The supporters deserve so much more than this.

The thing is you could say this about loads of performances recently. No other club has taken the sort of humiliations we have. Other top 10 clubs don’t get hit for 5 and 6 on a regular basis even at home. It’s a joke.

Pickford mom again.

for Spurs .....

 

[maccavennie]

Fixed it for you mate. Happy Christmas.

Merry Crimbo mate

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.



Another cop out post blaming the supporters...just to point out never heard any booing during the game and most had left before the full time whistle...some did boo then, tho some just clapped spurs

Koff mate, the players were inexcusably dreadful today.

 

[phil_t98]

first game I ever left 20 mins before the end, thought I would miss the traffic but looks like everybody had the same idea. Totally unaceptable today, tactics from the manager were wrong and players head went down far too easy. Ref gets a special mention for being so bad

 

[windymiller]

The lad sat next to me left after they scored the 4th a couple of minutes after half time. Can't blame him, wish I'd done the same. Sigurdsson mom by miles, no one else gave a toss.

It happens. Especially with teams in transition as we are.

Chill lads.

Today was crap - it won’t always be.

We haven't been able to turn around any of the nooses around our necks, they are merely getting worse and becoming more ingrained;

- Record against top six now defies any sort of statistical odds, or law of averages. After today, its 6 wins in 66 I think.
- Away record against the top six is just an embarrassment. A win would be beyond freakish.
- Mounting successive early cup exits.
- Mounting run of hammerings home and away vs. top six (as you say).
- Just a dreadful away record, for oh, the last 20 odd years. Can't expect to win more than 2 or 3 away games a season.
- Bulk of our points come from home games against the "bottom 13".
- Hammerings in Europe, and humiliations against sides that are no better than ok. Whilst the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea can stroll through UEL groups with their reserve sides. We have to turn it into an odyssey.

Wasn’t far off to be fair, it’s obvious we have problems just some are blind to them

4-1 spurs

Kane 2
Son
Eriksen

Gomes with a 93rd min consolation goal

Doesn’t seem to happen to other teams as regularly as it happens to us.

Bit of a lesson today, main learnings

1 Coleman is done, his lack of pace and poor positioning costs us dear.
2 Defence is too square and too slow
3 Referee had a very poor game, as did the linesmen
4 When Richarlason has a bad game, he's not very effective at anything
5 Pickford has to be more decisive in bad situations, he should have taken Zouma and the ball and the Spurs player
6 Spurs were everything we aspire to be, best team I've seen at Goodison this season

I could probably go on for days, but I am not one to over-react. We need to start bouncing back or it is going to be a very difficult season.

I'd be quite happy to be yelled at for underpreforming in work if I was going to pocket 120k a week, but I don't earn that take me about 4 years to earn that money and guess what I'd still get screamed at for underpreforming. But I do agree with you about Liverpool.

As bad as it gets that. Thankfully another match to come quickly.
