…he did play well, Dave but I don’t think he was MoM, Cavani lost him once (with terrific movement) and would’ve scored only for Pickford. Did very well, though.

Head and shoulders MOTM IMO. He was the last line of defence umpteen times and he was lending a hand on the flanks for Digne and even Godfrey.

A colossal performance.

A shame to miss out on what should have been 2-1 due to an unnecessary offsides, but really good game and much better result than I thought we could get. Whenever the team is exceeding expectations its a good and rarely seen sign.

Mina...Boss
Townsend...Boss
Doucoure...Boss

MOTM tho got to be Demarai Gray , just gets better & better. Super performance.

Stunning piece of business it's looking isn't it. Credit to either Brands or the manager for spotting him.

Who knew fitness and pace would be something a team needs in this day and age?

 

[Ring master]

I am finding it pretty funny the way some radio people and co say Everton are only this high due to the teams we have played, forgetting we are the only ones to beat Brighton, saints got draw at city and are lost late to chelsea, seems not to many want to give us credit, and thats pretty impressive considering the main players we have out

 

[Sharpies volley]

The Douc MOM again for me just over Allan. What a season he's having up to now.

Didnt see the match but was listening to updates on the radio. Sounds like we were well worth the point.

Excellent result given our injury list. Imagine the waffle if the RS got a result at Old Trafford with 5 or 6 starters out.

Bizarre how many of the occult had convinced themselves a defeat would be acceptable.

Hang your head in shame, some Evertonians you lot are

Welcome back to Everton FC.

 

[Tipp blue]

Always good to get a point at that kip.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Thought we’d get leathered.

Cracking point that.

When most were predicting we'd get slaughtered I said I was confident we wouldn't get beat. I didn't say we'd win but....well, you know the rest

 

[Bwana]

Immense Doucoure.

RafaRafaRafa... Please do keep on proving me wrong. Salute!

Very very difficult to pick motm today. Some excellent performances. Allan, doucoure and mina, townsend and gray were excellent. Maybe keane shaded it overall and I'm not his biggest fan. But a great team performance and we now look like we have shape and decent on the counter.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Yeah, but there is a line between the manager and the players though, I think most are moaning about the player rather than the decision to play them, but i could be wrong.

You're right, but my point is there's no point in constantly moaning about players (and lets face it the moans about Tom Davies have been unrelenting for years) when the only alternative doesn't exist.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Just back, made up, could have won it and I think deservedly so, still would have bit your hand off for a point beforehand though!!,fantastic "team" performance especially considering the "big hitters" we have out currently, special mentions for Mina,Doucoure (again)Townsend and Gray,feel it for Rondon he is out on his backside fitness wise, hopefully Richarlison and maybe Calvert Lewin will return against West Ham,Up the Toffs

 

[TyphooToffee]

If DCL or Rhico had played today away win - no doubts about it - Rondon makes Tosun look like Harry Kane ......

Rondon will come good. You can't compare him to Tosun when he's so obviously short of match fitness.
