Pickford MOM. His saves won the match. simple.

….Grealish with a talisman performance, but I’m controversially going for Gueye MoM, I thought he was outstanding.

Exactly this

 

[summerisle]

40% of penalties awarded so far this season have been given against us.

Grealish, Pickford, KDH, Gana, Ndiaye all great but went for Jimmy Garner for MOTM, done well again in an unfamiliar position and that was an absolute thunderbolt.

A quiet word on Keane. Was quietly alright. Tarky was all over the shop first half.

Keane was excellent today. Sound in defence. Tough job with Garner out of position on the left and Tarks all over the show in the first half. Sprayed the ball around like a prime Matthias Sammer at times.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Good performance and result. Grealish MOTM.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

First half Tarkowski and Gueye were the big concerns for me and they were both - Gueye in particular - were very good second half. Nobody below a 6/10 for me.

Grealish MOM, KDH and Keane excellent. Honourable mention Garner.

First time in the top half of a league table since November 2021.

dodgiest clean sheet ever. Pickford MOTM for saving the penalty and for that save after Tarks' blunder

 

[MondayHater]

I think Coleman was telling Jake he better get back up, he’s an old man now and didn’t want to come on at his age

 

[Steve EFC]

That’s more like it Blues!!!

Pickford for me

Huge save at 0-0 when tarks played it back without looking and the the pen save to prevent a very uncomfortable last 15 mins

Genuinely don't know who to vote for as player of the match, they all put a shift in.

Probably be Grealish but could also be Pickford

Hoping for this to be a much more frequent conundrum to be found in as an Evertonian this season.

Jack looks a VERY happy boy.

He does indeed. Seemed a tad emotional on that interview. I think he’s just glad to be back playing football and seems to be in the right frame of mind. Some player.
