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

[Seathestars]

Carlo must cringe with some of our players
Hopefully after this season we never see Sigy in an Everton shirt again.
Now watch him get a worldy

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Not sure what our midfield actually does at times. Seem to be there to just make up the numbers.

 

[Rook]

Get Sidibe on for one of the midfielders.

I don’t know.

 

[blueconverse]

Spawny goal. Mina showing the jokers in midfield up. Gomes really has no confidence in running with the ball

 

[ToffeeTim]

The manager needs transfer windows

We aren't good enough to win these away games. I'm sorry, but people have unrealistic expectations of these players who never perform when a game has any meaning.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Possibly. Big season for him next season. Ancelotti rates him by the looks of things

I don’t think any midfield starting should be thinking Ancelotti rates them, we literally have no other choice.

 

[Brownie]

No pressing anywhere whatsoever and no one with the confidence to play a forward pass. We are so hamstrung in midfield it's untrue.

 

[blue to the bone]

They've been crap mate and barely deserve the lead.

The problem is we've been equally woeful and haven't had any shots to get deflected in their goal.

These are a team to be had and we've got absolutely zero about us currently.

They have had no shot on target.. They are nearly as bad as us

 

[Bebeto]

defensively he's been absolutely sound mate.

Going forward though, he's hitting Hibbert levels of crapness here.

Not difficult...spurs have been poor going forward...with the current system he has to offer a lot more attacking...

 

[BlueTX]

Mina has dribbled past more Spurs and made more quality passes than any of the midfielders.

 

[Joey66]

I prefer to think he's become accustomed to the rest of the squads inability to control a football

No watch his lack of movement, his passing it's awful .......Carlos has to shake this team up in the 2nd half ....Spurs are poor that's how bad we are ..

 

[zook]

Mina carrying it out of defence and setting up our only decent opportunity shows why you need defenders who are capable of playing a bit of football.

Coleman and Keane’s lack of passing ability is such a weakness.

 

[marnie]

Wankpuffin lol lol

He’s not an Evertonian mate I think he’s one of those weird Europeans who cruise forums chatting wham about big names.

I thought wankpuffin was an adult book publisher.

 

[matty1878]

I said I would take a draw before it now I 1000% would

 

[Bob Latchford]

This first half has put a huge spotlight onto how much we desperately are crying out for a combative midfielder

I think that’s fair.
Gomes looks quite limited in this set up, either that or he’s just limited full stop.
The lads were unlucky not to go in level with the Richarlison chance at the end.
Hopefully there will be a tactical change at HT to give a bit more of an edge.
Decent chance Morinho will make them play on the counter in the second half.
