Me just joking…

Missed chunks of the match but very lucky to get a point imo. Moyes still in his comfort zone and not looking likely to come out.

Alcaraz at 10 has delivered consistently superior performances to KDH.

KDH is only playing as hes Moyes pet.

Take KDH out and play Alcaraz and we would be no worse.

It seems like youre trying to defend Moyes. Please stop.

KDH and Alcaraz (who messed up our chance to steal it) are totally different players

At least KDH played well first half. Alcaraz was absolutely shocking when he came on.

If youve ever played, coming on in the 84th minute when the team is playi g like crap and hoping to turn it around is one of the hardest things to do...just saying...hard to judge him on THAT

When you look back at the balance of chances we were actually unlucky. But that second half performance was unacceptable.

 

[Titus Shambles]

Should have passed to Beto

I don't know who you are, but I'm a solid 199.5% sure anyone who uses those words in that order should be banned from everything this forum

You think we’d be better with Alcaraz. I don’t. He looks too weak and indecisive, for me.

 

[pickfords coach]

First 15 mins you were the best team we have played so far this season, at that point I thought you were going win by three or more. We were poor at that point but we started to win more ball in the middle and after that Xhaka took control and you seemed to run out of ideas going forward. Patto only had one save to make other than the good, but what a save.

Good luck for the rest of your season.

Your fans were very good in the Bradley applause

I didn’t want him back, I don’t like his attitude towards Everton. He talks about us as if we are a Hull City, fighting against the odds and calls his last time here a success and to me I find it jarring how revered he is here because his first spell and with the former chairman, created a culture that has put the club back years.

This was no quick fix but I am not seeing a culture change here under these new owners. The recruitment is still highly questionable, the sentiment is still stinking the place out, there is still a care free attitude to getting knocked out of cups and a lot of the football stinks.

It goes beyond the manager, it’s a collective situation yet i don’t want him sacked just to score points with strangers, it’s all in our interests him and the club do well but little changes mate.

He wasn't my first choice either, and I 100% agree that he continues the "plucky Everton" culture that has dragged us down for decades. Our new ownership needs to remove that sentiment completely from all aspects of the club.

My hope is that we get incrementaly better while he runs down what's left of his contract and begin building a squad that is capable when a new manager takes over.

Centre of the park non existent after 30 mind, we need fight, energy and players that can control the tempo and manage a game and we had none of that. We were so open in the middle of the pitch, we're lucky sunderland didnt have more quality up front otherwise that could have been disaster.

Gave Keane mom, first half Ndiaye, Grealish good, Tim played well when he came on and now I'm struggling. Barry done okay, Mykolenko okay, Pickford made one good save his kicking was diabolical. KDH, awful, Gana poor, Beto anonymous, Tarkowski very poor a shadow of his former self, Obrien okayish. McNeil shall we say rusty..Garner average another thing did our players have slippers on tonight, falling over all over the place. Manager 0/10 tonight. Too late with the subs and the wrong ones, he made us worse.

"diabolical" "awful", "poor"... you do like a bit of hyperbole don't you?
And "Barry done okay"... you are surely joking

 

[RomanReigns]

This is a very imbalanced side

 

[Zatara]

Moyes is at no risk.
He's did an excellent job last season and is leading us to midtable where we deserve to be.

If thats how you feel then fair enough.

If i'm CEO or above watching this season then im wondering a large number of negative things;

1: Why did he spend so much on players and not use them?

2: KDH starts every game and is dreadful

3: Predictable or poor subs

4: Max the team plays is 1 half a game

5: The confidence must be sapped from the squad especially new signings

6: Tactic seems to be get it to Grealish & Ndiaye only.

Etc etc

Even at an overview surely the money spent and players not used is on Moyes

Dibling looked ace for Southampton and now?

Alcaraz confidence must be shot, performs well then dropped

Gana & Tarkowski untouchable

There was another game earlier this season where he made a suicide pass from an attacking position and the other team was able to run up and score.
