Honestly thought we defended very well. It was an individual error from Fellaini for their first (my view, some don't agree) and the second was a complete fluke.

Could easily have been a 5-0 win today, just wasn't meant to be.

Happens all too often with Everton, though, doesn't it?

That result and performance happened 10s of times per season under Moyes.
 
Barkley was great and has been good pre-season. Refreshing to hear RM say he will make mistakes and that is understandable but it is the way he will learn. Ross was Moyes scapegoat yet Ossie could mess up as much as he liked with no come backs. I feel we have lost a season from Barkley. He will have his inconsistencies but that is obvious because of his age but anyone can see he is going to be a talent except some of the minority on here who don't think he'll make it.

Who ever though that Ross wouldn't make it don't have a clue this kid has been class from day 1
moyes hadn't the balls to give him the long run of games that RM will give him to prove it
 
Osman as back up to Barkley from now on, he is far too light weight for that CM role , JH would of probably done a better job there.
 

Not read the thread, but people, who it looks like, have said that Howard may have saved that last header need to have a serious word with themselves.

Sometimes we nee to accept things as they are. It was a fortunate cross, but a well directed header that gave the keeper no chance.
 
Barkley is a pleasure to watch, Osman on the other hand tends to hide behind opposition players and doesn't show for the ball in space. I honestly don't think I seen Osman make a forward pass all game, he just passed it back pointlessly to the CB's.

Was so annoying...
 
I think it's clear that we won't die wondering away at the sky 4 this season!

We played well, they were lucky, we move on and make sure we finish the job next time. Even the Norwich fans on the bbc were saying they can't believe they got a draw after being mullered for 90 mins!!
 

The thing about Ross's goal that's so much better is he swung that in through traffic.

Boss goal.
 
Thoughts on the game.

Overall team performance was good to very good in places. Lost our way a little going forwards in the last 15 or so but overall I was pleased with what I seen.

Thought Fellaini was excellent again.

Osman pretty ineffective

Pienaar was let down by his final ball at times but he's always buzzing about and makes us tick, so I let him off slightly.

Ross made me squeal like a 15 year old schoolgirl on more than one occasion. He's that good.

I'm convinced Kone wears ball repellent boots. Must have one of the worst touches in the prem.

Thought Kev was ok, also slightly puzzled by the sub. Imagine the chaos if Moyes had done that and we dropped two points!


On the oppo I thought they gave us too much time at the back when you consider how much we struggled against Betis. Jags/Distin/Howards ability to cope with the style at PL level will face much sterner tests than the one we came up against today.
Nathan Redmond looked a very good player. Wish we had gone for him now tbh. First time I've seen him play though.
 
they didn't cause us one problem that i can remember of, especially in this aspect of the game. if we play a deep line, with the space ossie leaves behind him, we'd get murdered.

It's more if we play a decent team with pacey forwards we will get slaughtered. Osman leaves a gap and whilst he tracked back today a quicker attack would leave him for dead and leave us exploited with our defenders on the halfway line.
