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

[billybeeru]

If you've allowed one player to be targeted and fouled seven times you haven't done your job as a referee

My guess is Jose knows Richarlison is our biggest threat and told his team to hack him down as soon as he got near the ball until the referee started pulling out cards.

FFS. You'd think we'd played a dozen games since lockdown. We were absolute garbage. Evertonians seemingly readily accepting it too. Unbelievable.

Nothing but the best is good enough, apparently not

After watching Gordon for ten minutes centre mid, I think he is, more drive and going forward in that 10 minutes than I saw whole game.

He is a kid and not a centre mid.

And you are not wrong either... says it all really!

 

[Lloydystark]

Beaten by a shocking Mourinho team

They are just words.

And the nation is buzzing!

 

[Agent Blue]

Same old same old.
Just heard Ronnie Goodlass say on Merseyside that if that performance happened in his day "things would have been said in the dressing room". Someone needs to say something.

Bottoms need to be kicked!

He did his job, Spurs were smart enough to all have a go instead of one player constantly fouling.

It's snide but it's intelligent, unlike our players who seem to think that putting in a bit of effort means fouling someone needlessly.

Nah I'm not having that, it happens weekly to the good players in lesser teams in this league. Grealish and Zaha are two other examples where they just got fouled repeatedly because it goes relatively unpunished and is the only threat neutralized. The ref needs to realize it by the second or third and start handing out the cards automatically.

It is also time to think about a sin bin. Cynical play is winning play in football now and it is a joke. Diving, fouling and playacting are as integral as passing and shooting.

 

[Papa Shango]

I mean they won by a lucky deflection hardly played us off the park we just didn't turn up to no surprise cause we are cowards.

Main problem is they didn't really have to. Once that goal went in that was it.

I'm not too concerned though, this is blag footy for me right now, means nothing.

Are we only playing siggy to put him in the shop window? If so, can someone get hold of the kopites to burn the shop down so we can claim the insurance!

 

[windymiller]

Eurghhh, that was dreadful. Siggurdson has got to be done after that abject display. Iwobi and Davies trying and failing to control the ball is like a comedy in the silent movie era. Anyone who doesn't think the first player (two, probably) we should sign is a CM should book themselves in for some ECT. I gave Digne MOTM but Gordon looked very bright and Kean looked lively as well.

The cycle of an Evertonian:
Comup against a bigger team

Know you’re not going to beat bigger team

Watch Everton play the big team knowing you’re not going to win

Get beat by bigger team

Repeat

proper, proper boring now.

I just don’t get it

I know we are away from home and under these conditions it’s not really comparable but we are so inconsistent

 

[Mark barnett]

I would bin the entire midfield and use the under 23 lads for the remainder we aren't getting into europe anyway
