Match Thread Everton 2-2 Ipswich. Sat May 3rd. 3pm

[Dwight K Schrute]

that’s players that if we didn’t go 2-1 at half time the game was won

No chance mate. None at all. Moyes' sides ALWAYS did this. I have never seen sides concede so many goals from distance as Moyes' sides - because they always retreat. I've moaned about that loads on here over the years - especially when Moyes was coming back. Drives me mad.

Also, Ipswich are so poor, really good managers would put a rocket up the players for letting them back in and send them out to attack and roll them over because they are so poor. Not dour Davey. Out cautiously. Can't be cavalier, don't want to concede another. Hand initiative to opposition. Concede that goal anyway. It is so Moyes.

He did it with us enough times before he left in 2013 - we are actually a totally different side, and we're doing it again. I've seen West Ham do it. It's so rare that Moyes' sides have properly put teams to the sword, even when he's had good sides.

It's him. It's part of his managerial DNA.

Draw, draw wherever you may be
We are the mighty draw fc
And we’ll bore you to death
Until you concede
We are the mighty draw fc

Catchy!

Goal against Bournemouth wasn't bad tho.... last minute goal against forest was there made my day.... not always bad get off his back ffs

He's usually pretty bad tbf. No other side would have a CAM in the side for defensive work and who cannot control a football or pass one. It's pathetic really.

Three games left to avoid our third 'sub-40' season in four. Jeff Stelling said it plain and simple two years ago after FT vs Bournemouth.

"They have a perfect record for last day survival, but they cannot keep doing this, because one day their luck will run out."

Massive massive massive massive window. Have to get this 110% right. Every single position bar GK need replacing, either because loans are expiring, players aren't good enough / too old or too going-to-Man-Utd.

Even Pickford needs some proper competition too. Captain my arse.

If the team doesnt put a good show on v Southampton not only will there be ructions, the roof will come off! Players need to give their all.

They will close Goodison Park down too

Moyes isn’t the man to be given total charge of such a rebuild.

Roman knows ball

Confirmed Signing Post in thread 'Iliman Ndiaye'

a player that i quite like who plays in the same role as ndiaye is julio enciso at brighton

i know brighton only recently signed him so probably wouldn't sell him

only 20 years old, certainly one to watch for the future

Imagine finishing 17th in this PL. It's a terrible league and we are just stinking the gaff out.

We may only get 1 point v Southampton!

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

That's what I mean. I expect us to get absolutely spanked by the horse punchers and turned over by Fulham as they both have something to play for. We may scrape a win vs Southampton, but I doubt it. I look forward to watching Calvert-Lewin and 'Doucs' celebrating their new deals by squandering good chances and attacks too for the last three games.

Any club down 2-0 to Everton knows there’s always a chance. For some clubs, even 3-0 isn’t insurmountable.

 

[deipnosophist]

We could end the season with an 18 draws record...lol. we really are awful at football. I refuse to watch them because it's just not enjoyable.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

The best teams go up 2-0 and think now make it 4-0.

The average teams go up 2-0 and play defense hoping to hold or settle for a draw.

And then there’s Everton.

We have to be hungry 90+ minutes for 38 matches. We have to live up to NSNO.

I genuinely thought we were on for a score like that when we went 2-0 up

Mate, I want to get to the days where going up 2-0 and finishing with a win is the expectation. Because the past few seasons I always feel like we could give it away.
