Tottenham Hotspur v Everton. 7th April @ 14.05.

we should sell mirallas

Better.. His hamstrings have cost us 4th. Easy.

 

[roydo]

Didn't he win the corner for Jag's goal?

Yep, and ended up over the ad hoardings for his trouble. Lay off the kid in my opinion; let him mature, not put loads of pressure on him cos he probably doesnt need it. If he has the talent we think he has, and his attitude is on the spot, we could have a gem on our hands, so calling him a "laughing stock" based on 45mins is, frankly, ridiculous.

Also worth noting that for that piece of play it was the only time he'd been allowed space in an inside area in his natural position, and he did something with it.

 

[The Esk]

Really good inside run and a drilled cross across the six yard box.

But people don't like talking about that kind of stuff with Barkley.

Exactly - it was a rhetorical question

true that

It's a very decent point but still feels like a missed opportunity. There's probably too much to do in the race for fourth now, especially with Arsenal winning every week.

The run-in is difficult but I'd hoped the fact Everton have played less games than the teams they're competing with would give them an edge. Obviously that could still turn out to be the case, but I really can't see them holding onto a lead at the Emirates, Stamford Bridge or Anfield.

Gibson deserves a proper bollocking for Tottenham's second goal. That came from him just booting the ball aimlessly away when he had time to bring it down and both Anichebe and Jelavic ahead of him. He wouldn't have done that at United and he shouldn't be doing it here. Baines shouldn't have dived in the way he did, but the whole thing could have been avoided if Gibson had showed some composure.

I really, really hope Fellaini comes in for Osman and plays centre midfield. The team is attacking quicker and more fluently without him slowing moves down, and Osman isn't playing well at all. It was embarrassing when he just ran the ball out of play under no pressure in the second half.

I did!

 

[Woolly Blue]

Just been gauging the mood on here. When did we lose , like ?

In his post match interview Moyes has said he understands GOT's frustration about only drawing at White Hart Lane and has resigned with immediate effect. Steve Round will take charge for the rest of the season with Phil Neville second in command.

 

[MrD]

According to Talksport, Everton are a decent, long ball team and should be grateful for a draw.

 

[Jags..class]

Barkley didnt impress but that could be due to

out of position
swapping wings
inexperience

At least he had experience today and will have learnt alot today and will only make him a better player. He just need to do the simple passes right and the skill will come on as he grows.
Made up with Mirallas goal today, another solo wonder goal and looks like a another Moyes gem, 6 Million

We slipped up today as we needed to close the gap, but we havent really been good enough this season for 4th to be fair, just hope the lads can keep it up as the games will get harder. QPR are fighting for their lives now.

 

[MrD]

QPR will be up for it but they are dreadful.

 

[Allezfan]

Mirallas picking us over arsenal was a huge deal.

To be honest, you deserve to hear that for being silly enough to listen to Talksport.
