We're up to 3rd.

Is right . CL here we come

Not letting football affect my weekend

Thankfully we had such a favourable early run of fixtures.

We don't look at all convincing. Lack of intensity all over and the balance just isn't there.

 

[Milkman]

Think that game shows how much we rely on Gary Barry to have a good game. He was wasteful in possession tonight (not the only one like) and when he's off, it effects the whole team. Not pissing my pants over a 1-1 draw though, Palace are playing well, and that Benteke header was sublime. Big Duncan would've been proud of that.

Disappointing. Could have been a loss, very easily. Too easily. Mid table performance.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

that also explains why koeman wasn't so eager to dig in the bench because other than mirallas, who could alter the game in a positive manner?

Could have taken off Cleverley (who did ok) for Lennon, put Bolaise on the left, and Lennon on the right, would have given us a more attacking option, also Lennon will track back.

Building a new stadium for what? Top ten my arsen. and as for Barkley ffs bench him till the window opens in Jan and take a fiver if offered.Absolute shi- Everton.

We were lucky in the end. We could play another age and we wouldn't score from open play. We're just not very good are we?

We're average... Mid-table side... Closely matched with the likes of Palace... God help us when we play someone decent. We just need to accept it now - 7th would be a good achievement this season

After an easy run of games. Compare Liverpool's first 6 fixtures to ours.

theres no easy games for us lol,if this was typical everton,we probably would have lost more than we have,but more points dropped

 

[DRM]

Strongly disagree

That's ok.

After an easy run of games. Compare Liverpool's first 6 fixtures to ours.

Yeah. But we all have to play everyone twice.

And then you take form into account, and injuries etc. So many variables.

We aren't exactly astounding though. I'd sack Martinez. Oh wait...,

 

[MartyMcFly]

You're talking tosh.

No he isn't. Cleverly was again one of our better players and Barry was poor.

 

[deipnosophist]

...I keep going on about the threat factor, Palace have been more of a threat than us. Whether it's the system or the players in the system we need to find a way to create. We offer little or no threat. As a benchmark, consider how many times their keeper made a save. Perhaps one chance for Gueye in the entire half.

No threat factor.

Spot on...we have no edge at all. We'll finish 11th again.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Bit too anonymous for me mate.

 

[Armchair Dave]

Sadly it's no longer knee jerk. I think we may have a problem

 

[Blue Sky]

We need a Jermain Defoe type player , in fact we Jermain Defoe
