Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[banno]

Tough call between Siggy and James but opted for Siggy because of some fine footy, cracking goal and work rate

Replace Richarlison with Kane and we win easily.
Yet some o here like @catcherintherye think that DCL is better......madness

I didn't say better overall, just will score more goals.

The key bit of todays game was not Kane or Richarlison. We battered Spurs, Kane hardly have a kick, except for when Michael Keane perfectly set him up for two tap ins.

.....such a shame the CBs were inept. As I continue to say, Godfrey is our no1 CB and should start there every game. It’s a matter of who plays alongside. I can understand the decision to play him right side to nullify the Son threat, but we don’t concede either goal if he’s central.

In a game we should’ve won, this was more about poor defending than Richarlison missing a clear chance. Sigurdsson played terrific, his 2nd goal was magnificent and deserved to be the winner.

Godfrey was very good against Son. I dont think Son had any joy at all. Not sure Holgate can do that against Son.

Keane and Holgate were both extremely poor and made huge errors. They didn't actually have much to do either and thats disappointing.

2 points dropped and a manager let down by elementary mistakes.

Holgate and Keane the new Laurel and Hardy. Surely Keane has his place in the England squad cemented after that glorious performance!

More chuckle brothers than Laurel and Hardy

Massive improvement on recent performances,really should have won by a couple of goals,but poor defending on a couple of run of the mills crosses cost us,the whole of the midfield with the exception of Iwobi played well,my MOTM was Davies but could easily go to 2/3 other players

 

[MACCA75]

I know this will sound odd, but what did Kane do today other than tap in to perfectly laid on assists?

I wish someone made chances as clear for DCL as Keane did for Kane tonight.

I'm not sure I said DCL was miles better either, just that he would get more open play goals. Keane hasnt helped tonight perfectly assisting Kane to 2 tap ins. I had factored in our defenders not doing that.

I’m not sure DCL scores either of those ‘tap ins’ in all honesty. But then Kane is a world class player and goal scorer.

Mourinho interview just then in response to being questioned about Pogbas comments was priceless!

 

[the golden visionary]

Happy to accept its all about opinions but I think you’re stretching it with “his best performance if the season”. Think that might have been Tottenham away right at the beginning.

I’m not knocking James by the way, I love him, can’t believe he’s here and I think he’ll get better with better players around him (hopefully) next season" Just don’t think he was mom tonight.

Fair enough. I thought davies and allan were excellent. The thing about siggy is he had his poor moments but produced when it mattered.

Its a decent discussion to have rather that moaning about the defensive mistakes.

 

[Street end man]

Most overrated player ever to put the shirt on? Richarlison must surely lay claim to that allocade. Not his fault I must stress.

 

[IllinoisBlue]

Lot of good performances for me. We were the better team overall. I went with Siggy.

Keane and Holgate need to grow a pair and take responsibility. Their errors cost us the game.

 

[Methuselah]

The best striker in the Premiership found himself unmarked, inside our penalty area, twice = 2 goals.

Our goals difference, relative to the teams above us, clearly identifies our problems.

Yeah ok.

Are you saying. DCL will score more goals in his career than Kane.

What did he say?

 

[Death]

We can still build on that tonight. Win the next game and its momentum with 4 games unbeaten.
