Bit of a mention for the ref today thought he did OK.
Let the game go and didn't try to be the centre of attention

Yep. A rarity nowadays. Let it flow, no real major errors from what I can remember.

Sad that this is the exception.

Thought we looked very leggy tonite without the ball. Didn't seem to press in numbers like we have been doing. Happy to take a point. Not much between the two teams, even though we had the better chances.
Defo need the break to rest some tired legs

It's basically been 13 players doing all the graft for nearly a month hasn't it.

Probably won't have anyone back for Wolves but Patterson and Chermiti will be 10 days fitter hopefully and the rest of the squad will have been rested.

Have a break, go again against Wolves and hopefully get to April with no more injuries and other players coming back to help out

2 games week is always a big ask, never mind with limited 1st choice players

Yep, even just at the 70 minute mark not being able to rest Beto, after 85 minutes Moyes was going to bring Alcaraz off and bring Keane on but risked it as Alacaraz kept getting into little pockets of space.

A Mcneil, Ndiaye, DCL, Broja etc wouldn't half help with rotation

I reckon about 70% of the forum felt like tonight would be one game too many so a point, with so little depth is a bloody good result.

MOTM I went for Garner. Don't think anyone had a particular good game. Tired performance from all. Garner (as the rest of them) started slowly and looked out of sorts . He grew into the game and became our dictator.

Wasn't a great performance and I would even say not one player stood out. We did display a never die attitude and that is down to Moyes.

Looking at the team it is becoming more & more obvious that RB, LB, RW & LW and we would be so more effective and probably (with the right personal) would make us quite easily top half and probably European positions. In Moyes we trust eh!

 

[Ged G]

Yet "Evertonians" on here slated him tonight. I wish they'd GTF out of this forum and leave it for Everton fans who understand the game. No idea what Beto brings to us these idiots.

If not Beto, then it'd be someone else. I don't regard them as Evertonians.

 

[Ged G]

Did Young score or assist?????

No. But he did his job. Look, go and follow the RS... that'd suit you

I'd forgotten about McNeil

I thought we controlled the game ,but for slack marking at a long throw and better finishing from Beto we’d have done there tonight what we did last season,the players are giving everything ,1-0 down is no longer the death sentence it used to be , Moyes has done a remarkable job and when we get our better players back the only way is up for this club,mightily encouraged

Don't think we controlled the game yet don't think they did. It was a battle and both teams cancelled each other out in many ways. We had the most clear cut chances yet think a draw was a fair reflection. Agree with Moyes

Just watching the highlights the only highlight Brentford had was their goal

Bit weird ain’t it for a home team to have just 1 highlight
