Haha, top four - you're having a laugh. Can't even put Borough to bed.

Dry your eyes. Very few teams have won there and we had enough chances.

Oh well, disappointing result that after last week.

To cold and wet for Mr Lukaku

For most of them mate - not just Rom!

Pathetic. Players talking about top four this week and they once again let us down with another abject display.

Summed up by Koeman taking half a minute to get the ball back in play at the end.

Match report

Sorry folks this ain't gonna rival an @AndyC effort. Poll is at the top for MOTM. No Mirallas in the squad today but a return for Gana.

Everton started well. As the snow and rain and sleet fell, both came back into it a bit. Robles made some good saves and Lukaku nearly scored but for a good stop by Valdez.

Lookman looks lively too. 0-0 at the break.

Half time, and we can cut to an exclusive video of Ronald and Erwin's team talk;



Look closely and you can see Duncan Ferguson doing the balloon dance in the background. Blizzard conditions for the second half.

First substitution was Enner Valencia on for Gana. Shortly after Boro have an effort headed off the line.

Lennon and Barry came on but still we could not find the net. Clean sheet though.

That Boro fan with the drum too

Hard to be too critical, draw a fair result against a side who are fighting for their lives and actually looked like a side who want to stay up. Could easily have lost it at the end so the point is useful.

Game needed putting to bed in the first 30mins. After that, a scrappy 0-0 was always on the cards.

 

[eurosrees]

I want my 90 minutes back, the most terrible 90 minutes ever, holy moly words can't describe how utter nonsense that was. Middlesbrough need to get relegated fast.

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Valencia is appalling at football.

As for the result and performance, I blame the weather.

 

[Rook]

no suprise there. boro does this to people. gotta learn to break down these tough defensive teams if we want to make a play for top 4 in the future.

[dublinbluenose]

Disappointing we couldn't get the points to keep up with Utd but at least we didn't lose.
