Is it just me or has young gone three matches on the trot as good and reliable?

did any one see the ipswich fan asking for an autograph from mckenna and think he said in a min?

Despite being 2 goals up, I still felt the game was on a knife edge! This is the curse of the Everton fan… As the clock ticked on, I remember thinking how many goals would they need to score for me to feel this is an “easy” win

Yip anxiety setting in for the last 15min when Everton just sat right back inviting pressure and no sign of subs coming. Flashbacks of the Bournemouth game. PTSD and all that

I make it 4 in a row. Thought he had a good game against Leicester and set up Ndiaye for the goal in that match

 

[Mr Happy]

That Muric is possibly the worst GK I've seen in Prem for a long time. Including his stint at Burnley too. Calamitous.

The second Bournemouth goal happened because we got hit on the break so it's not as simple as saying we sat back. Sitting deep and playing on the break when 2-0 is the correct tactic (particularly given how unreliable some of our players are in possession). The issue in both games is that we didn't take our chances on the break to make it 3 or 4 nil and in the Bournemouth one we lost our shape because we needed fresh legs.

Ya that's what I was saying with lack of subs again players tiring and little reaction from the sidelines again and the team sitting back inviting pressure with more crosses coming into the box. The crosses invoking nightmares of that match. Thankfully able to deal with them better than against Bournemouth.
Ya should have been at least 3up in both games

We did defend much better though. We kept our shape and their chances were very limited. A speedy winger on the right and we would be in business.

Me too but it was more to do with our history of letting leads slip than with what was actually happening on the pitch.

Michael Keane was immense in defence - bar one sloppy tackle to give away a free kick - but he needed to do it.
He would have got my MOM anyway - but that goal was genuinely superb. Ndaiye was also excellent - but I expect that from him so maybe I'm a bit biased.

Above all else yesterday it was a good team performance, arguably our best so far this season.

 

[Naylor56]

we should be looking for 9 points from the next 4 games would be fantastic, maybe 12 with West Ham not looking the best. Would be happy with 7 though

He's got an impressive catalogue of howlers already.
