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

[ChesterBlue]

Midfield against Southampton should be Gordon / Holgate / Baningime / Richarlison . None of the shithouses who started in midfield tonight deserve to play the next game .

Or ever again

Looking at the fixture list, there are still a lot of matchups between teams fighting for the European places and with the heavyweights. Those include:

• Wolves: Arsenal, Sheffield, Everton, Burnley, Chelsea
• Sheffield: Burnley, Wolves, Chelsea, Leicester, Everton
• Arsenal: Wolves, Leicester, Tottenham, Liverpool, Man City
• Tottenham: Everton, Arsenal, Leicester
• Burnley: Sheffield, Liverpool, Wolves
• Everton: Tottenham, Wolves, Sheffield

My point being that there is still room for a lot of shakeup in the standings. Every game will be important. I haven’t even included Leicester and Chelsea, neither of whom are guaranteed a top-4 finish (but to me seem safe enough for top 7/8).

So for me, even a draw against Tottenham would be okay. Though it would be nice to beat them for once.

Dream on
The barest hint of a 6 pointer or a - we could go into 'X' th position and we go in our shell.

Yet again, we made the opposition look like a decent side.
Most of us...and quite rightly too, gave Moyes down the banks for loads of shight like this.

10years and countless millions later, we're no further on, just the names have changed

We lost to an own goal and the threads read like we got 'kin roasted by Dagenham & Redbridge.

Talk about players having no bottle...ffs, you all fall apart faster than a pair of edible panties.

You can’t make excuses for that. Regardless of how we conceded the lack of effort and willingness to fight for the shirt out there tonight was a disgrace. The amount of times I saw Gomes, and Siggurdsson look like they didn’t care at all was infuriating, as was Sidibe late of deciding he couldn’t even be bothered to control a ball.

I did not watch the game as I perform the following mental algo before choosing to watch or not: 1) are we playing away to a ‘SKY6 team’? 2) If ‘yes’ then don’t watch because we have no chance.
Works like a charm.

another algorithm just as effective is ‘is this game of any importance’ and if yes swerve

Just read that Spurs are now unbeaten in 15 league games against us...........Spurs............

 

[Khalekan]

This is the first of these matches I have watched and it will be the last.

Soulless, dispiriting, out of season and boring.

Just as I feared.

There is sommat terribly unnatural about EFC making me irritatable and cranky on an evening in early July.

Gordon fir MOM, TW.

You've put expectation on the remaining games of one of the weirdest situations in the history of the Football League's existence...don't wind yourself up because the league and clubs wet the bed by deciding to finish the season under these circumstances. But they voted for it so they can take the heat...I've just personally washed it from memory as I don't believe the motives behind it are genuine and they all know it.

More than a couple of decades ago (probably more than 3 if I’m honest), a then girlfriend bought a pair of those...they tasted like stale wine gums...and gave me toothache. Put me down as ‘not a fan’ lol

...I like the cut of your algorithm’s jib...

 

[Daytripper]

Gary Neville was spot on IMO. I’m glad he said those things, they needed to be said.

 

[deipnosophist]

Even the most die-hard Evertonian would have to admit that the tinge of ‘losers’ is the largest blob of paint on the palette used to paint our club. That’s ok I guess because football ain’t what it used to be in importance to me. I still always support the team and hope they do ok. That’s about all the ‘NSNO’ I can muster these days...lol

 

[gonetomorrow]

We’ll miss the fact that we can’t put him in midfield

Yeah but Mina showed a startling willingness to get forward himself!
We don't have enough cover at centreback though.

What a surprise, a game that matters and Everton bottle it, its one of the three things guaranteed in life along with death and taxes
