I've after sticking your manager out of it and undermined him. Now go on and win. I support you guys.

Things would be so much calmer if the Chuckle Brothers hadn't created such an issue of people disliking pigman.

Stop it with the gifs I'm getting horny. Horny horny horny.

nah, each to their own mate but he's doing well. Its a good day to be a blue.

No, we had enough chances to win that. These are the type of dropped points from last season that saw fall from CL places at the end of the season. The manager simply can't afford to do this if he wants to improve upon Ancelotti.

I think the improve bit is already done. If you think Ancelotti would get a tune out of such a patchwork squad.....

Hes gave me my Everton back, so he’s a good one in my eyes.

Every player wanted that, under the last 4-5 managers we go 1-0 down and we go on to lose 4/5-0.

Bettorr for everything and fought, and it’s the same team as last season.

All I want from my Everton side. Keep playing like that and we’ll have a good season.

That was the most impressive performance of his Everton tenure for me.

Bare bones in several key positions and he made it work.

I was worried we might see the Moyes closed shop mindset, but he set us up to win that match - and you can’t ask for much more than that.

Think the team spirit was encapsulated when Baines was dragged to his feet in the first half and his team mates protested....Allan and Doucs especially.....we are not there now to be pushed around like on previous occasions. Great stuff

As much as anything in the game I was made up with that , probably says more about me than anything else but I think we’ve missed that .

It’s early days but we’ve seen to have rediscovered our identity as a club. Benetiz has alluded to the fact that the fans demand high intensity and effort from the players. He’s getting that from them.

I would have taken a draw before the game but on reflection they were there for the taking. Rondon basically had us playing with 10 men and hthe manager got the subs wrong. Let's hope we don't regret the dropped points at the end of the season.

Got the subs wrong you say. Who from our bench would you have brought on?

Baines?

Thanks mate, it's good to have optimism and we salute your belief. If we are being honest though, we were terrible against Burnley albeit for 10 minutes, same against QPR, struggled to beat Huddersfield, got tonked by Villa etc so forgive me for not yet subscribing to your unwavering belief.

If he can keep the results coming in all blues would give him a pat on the back come the end of the season. At that point though progress has to be a European places finis.

 

[davek]

I think we're nearly all behind the manager now. Sure there's going to be one or two who cant swallow their pride and say they were wrong to oppose his appointment and who'll stick it out opposing him to the bitter end, but the jury is in: we got ourselves a tactically astute and motivated manager who has done remarkably well and against the backdrop of an injury crisis that would have cracked open this club and had it on the edge of the abyss in previous years.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Sick of Benitez making me look like a clown after slagging him off all summer lol

Fair play though, still early days, but to get a point away at OT with our injuries is pretty impressive
