First game I’ve not been able to watch this season. Went with the Everton web site audio. That was a hugely stressful listen after we went ahead.

I’m guessing it was a stressful watch, too?

Not had many of those so far this season, we’ve looked so solid.

There are always going to be holes to pick, but it's a good result regardless.

It probably sounded worse than it was. We struggled to get out much for the last 20 mins or so, but I didn’t get the usual feeling of an imminent collapse.

You're endangering lives with that suggestion; many Evertonians in their mid 50's just spontaneously combusted when they read that...

Aye i'm 49 so I know about Nev and these things creep up on us

 

[Cels]

Done myself good and proper here. After the International break, it was good to have Everton to look forward to. The problem is, I was convinced that our game was tomorrow, so I never got to see any of the match

COYB!​

Went with Gana for MOTM, thought he was excellent, his positioning, passing and tenacity in the tackle was outstanding.

No poor performances really, McNeil struggled in the first 30 mins but took his goal really well.

Onwards and upwards

Same here. I hate listening to commentary at the best of times, but my nerves are shredded after that. They spent more time chatting wham than actually commentating on the game.
Not even considering a man of the match until I have at least seen the highlights.
A win is a win though. COYFB

I absolutely hate him. Who the f even is he? He makes me want to go and do the hoovering instead.

You must be under 40. I had so many swaps of him and Jonny Metgod around 1985 it was unreal. I can still see his hairy face in my mind's eye.

 

[Davideeyore]

Easy to see we’re drawing and winning games we would have lost last season

Please can we stop this phrase.

Guess what? This game we do lose last season! I think they said it after the Liverpool game. And the West Ham game.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I see he finally got one vote but I thought Maupay played the role of irritant very well, considering what he gave up in size.

That Everton radio gives me a heart attack. I watched it on Spanish TV while listening to the commentary on there. It does not reflect what's going on on the pitch. Made me panic sounded like Southampton were gonna score when they were on the half way line.

That sounds promising. I’ve always hated radio commentary. It’s a mile a minute, and sounds like balls are constantly being scooped from under our crossbar.

 

[God Benfrey]

Ha just seen the score, McNeil and coady, who'd have thought. Did we deserve it ???
