Match Thread Everton vs Brentford - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

[Gibbo1976]

As soon as the sirens started I had a feeling that we would win this one , great first half and dug in when needed in the 2nd against a team on a good run. Crowd were great today UTFT

McNeill and Coleman Top vote getters again ... Michael Keane outstanding.

Begrudgingly some people must swallow words

Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased Keane had a good game but not sure if I am swallowing my words. One pretty good game does not rule out the 10s of awful ones.

 

[Librarian]

Cannot stress how important that is in giving us a chance

DAY DRINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 points off 12th! Look up blues, look up!

 

[deipnosophist]

just seen highlights...made up with 3 pts (a MASSIVE 3 pts!)...but I'm convinced there is an agenda against Everton in the EPL officialdom. Any other team, and that 2nd goal stands.

 

[Howards tipple]

Really, really wish we could just win games by more than one goal. I know Dyche 'loves' his 1-0's but still.....

I know what you mean...but will take a win each game even if we all suffer heart failure for the rest of the season

I voted for Seamus, but McNeil and Keggers pushed him very close.

Doesn't work that way mate. He's a better player than some fans give him credit for, who's been prone in the past to psychological problems and loss of confidence

Which way does it work then? Shall we ignore the awful performances for years, with the odd good one put in here and there? Perhaps he has suffered a loss of confidence but I'm guessing that is due his standard of performances. If he played well, the team win more (or he would get a move), fans stay off his back, and confidence remains high.

Are you being serious?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Are you being serious?

Yes?

We've had multiple opportunities across multiple matches now to lead teams by two or three goals and consistently fail to capitalise. It's incredibly frustrating as a fan.

It will come.

He wasn't awful for years, under Ancellotti he was back in the England squad. The whole team has been a mess for 5 years but always felt Keane, Coleman and Iwobi got signalled out when everyone was as bad as each other.

Another game that has taken a few years off me,very good first half followed by like last week some slackness second half,I thought we looked dead on our feet midway second half and our lack of options from the bench was going to cost us, thankfully we saw it through, McNeil has been very good last 4/5 games,great work ethic and no little skill,Gray covered a hell of a lot of ground for us too,to be honest the only fella I felt who went AWOL today was Onana,he has to do more in my humble opinion.
