Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Yarrgh]

Watched the Hojberg tackle on Richarlison again and feel that should have been a straight red. Got nowhere near the ball, excessive force in my view and then had the gall to roll around as if he'd been fouled. Also annoyed me the way Kane came in pushing our players away, glad to see Mina at least push him back.

It was the only time that Kane did anything yesterday. That Hojberg should have been off without question - Spurs had lost the plot at that point.

They were up against a clearly superior opponent in us yesterday. I've seen that all too often before hand with us being on the wrong side of that lesson. Hopefully we get to see that type of response from 'big 6' teams a number of times again.

Called it.

Suits the style of game in England, where a lot of goals are on the counter and fast breaks.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

So who has put a new brain in Pickford?

Its like a different keeper.

Confidence imo.
He's been pumped up by Carlo all summer, one error and the hate starts again and his confidence will dip.

Easily a red. The kind of tackle the VAR man should have been having a word in the refs ear about for sure. 2 footed and totally out of control, always been a red that.

Our last decent performance against Spurs.



Loved this game

Spot on about Spurs, they were fouling us all over the place, you could see that they had lost their rag, but only one booking, another stinker against us from Atkinson.

how embarrassing for Højbjerg, just thought of that now, dont know if we truly in for him, but glad we got who we got

Couldn’t stop thinking about this all game. Dude was nonexistent out there, you know he thought he was too good for Everton. Glad we got the last laugh, not only from the result but who we all signed.

Firing up the DVR to watch those first 20 minutes again

 

[Jeff Jones]

Everton, probably through Carlo, should make a public statement and draw the attention of the referees to these dirty tackles on Richarlison. The longer
it goes on the more likely it is that he will eventually be badly injured. He does overdo the reaction sometimes, but that doesn't mean it isn't dangerous and it needs
be stopped.

It's been going on for a while and he will keep being targeted if nothing is done.

It’s been years and years since I read anything like that concerning Everton.

It was the old fashioned take everyone out in your way approach of goalkeeping. Exactly what you want in your keeper.

I think that you are being harsh on the centre backs there though. I thought they were organised very defensively and disciplined in maintaining the defence's shape. But if Allan keeps on at it like he does, then they may be allowed to take some more initiative if they're up to it.

Mina and Keane didn’t come under any real pressure, thankfully, Mina was slightly better than Michael, they both unnerve me, Keane will never put me at ease, I’m anxious every time the opposition attack with Keane defending, yesterday the two new midfielders, Allan and Doucouré did a superb job of shielding the defenders and made their task much easier, I was more than pleased with those two, adding to the luxury of James’s talent.

Oh I am of the opinion now that whoever will improve us, get them in. No one should be spared if that's the case. I fully agree on Allan's and Doucoure's performance yesterday and the effect it had on the defence.
