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

[ElGato]

We are much better with Gueye in the side.

We are when he plays like that, but when he doesn't, we're not.

He was at a 8 or 9 out of ten yesterday, but has struggled to reach that level for sometime

anyone else notice in

We were the better team throughout the 90 imho and unlucky not to get three points on balance of play. Pundits and whatnot absolutely bumming Spurs but I actually thought they were off it yesterday. Difference was basically the quality of players. Two great finishes from Richy and that Van Der Ven defending like a maniac, without the pair I think that could have ended 3 or 4 nil to us.

Whereas there were so many basic unforced errors from our lot, misplaced 5 yard passes, baggy touches, or failure to read the game or time a run. Very frustrating to watch at times

Gana MOM, was fantastic I thought, and Garner was also excellent in there with him. Both centre halves and Godfrey were excellent, thought Young and Harrison both did well to keep the ball away from Spurs and control Werner.

Thought Pickers was very shaky, Myko a bit rusty, and McNeill bland. DCL had a stinker as well, first time I've seen him struggle so much in normal build up play for a long time

Thought pickford was ok made a very good save to keep it 2-1 but hos kicking was awful. Thought myko defended well and is harsh on dcl was holding the ball up very well during the game with no support.

I hope our silk mentioned the Wednesday case when appealing.
This is what the IC referred to with regard to their case and the inferred sporting advantage. Wednesday breached the EFL PSR by trying to claim the sale of Hillsborough happened in a different financial year! Even then, their appeal led to a reduction from 12 points deduction to 6 points.

anyone else notice in the stadium they said it was a VAR check to see if coleman was offside for the second goal

just watched the highlights and coleman was right in the mix and was nowhere near offside

im guessing it was a stadium error and they were just guessing which player was offside

Bit similar to the whole VAR thing then!

I gave it to Branthwaite again as I cannot see anything but a top class player ,I just hope he sees this and stays ,Gana was superb tho' .It is hard to realise that Jarrad has only played 20 odd games in the top flight !

I thought we where unlucky to be behind at half time yesterday. Caused Spurs a lot of problems. 2nd half I thought Spurs looked the better team and we weren’t quite as aggressive in the press until the substitutions were made. Draw was a good result in the end. On another note Luton are dangerous because they are playing with freedom with no pressure to stay up. We are trying to preserve our premier league status aswell and all the stuff on the field will be affecting everyone involved with the club including the players.

Luton have had their few weeks in the sun with victories. They'll soon be losing games again. They're not going to keep it up for the rest of the season...

Feel like we missed out, terrible defensive set up on set peices by Tottenham, four defenders on the near post and the manager is moaning about the keeper having to defend the far post on his own, no way Tottenham get top 4 with defending like that.

Without van de Ven you would have been well beaten mate.

Looking at that Beto penalty appeal that Oliver and VAR ruled out. His shirt is clearly pulled. It was a foul even if he went down easily. But of course we are Everton.

And then after seeing the penalty Luton were awarded yesterday. Pathetic.

To get a penalty Beto would have to have his shirt ripped off and tied around his ankles, and even then VAR would take 5 minutes to make a decision.

Couldn't believe as well how many fans were leaving the park end on 82 minutes, at that point there were 8 + 7 minutes left of the game, just support the team

Park end dementors have to get back to their knitting lad.
