Shades of Moyes at Bolton from Roberto then.

Besic is playing isn't he?

Besic is the only one near a good level, rest are frauds.

[Bigmaclad]

Think Besic has been good, been pretty much the only player spreading the play

 

[EFC Si]

We were never gonna win tonight given the current soap opera

 

[The Equaliser]

I will be shocked if Stones comes out for the 2nd half. He should be nowhere near that team and his ongoing saga is clearly affecting their performances, but doesn't excuse them.

 

[eurosrees]

I really, really hope Stones did not do that on purpose.

Can you explain what he apparently did please mate? I'm confused

 

[daza_1973]

Is it possible to swap Roberto for Royle at half time?

Jim ??

 

[bluestevon]

Really mate?

You think that he's going to exclude any one of these 11 when he's got no money to spend and will be given no money to spend?

robles wont play again mate, being honest stones wont either, thats the brutal honesty of this

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Naismith's a footballer?

 

[GoatJR]

Come on Everton!!!!!!

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Defense and attack awful

Defense especially. FFS basic defending. There was a slow motion of jags turning his back on a shot as if he was afraid of getting hurt. I'd love to make him sit in front of the team play it back for him and get him to explain why he was afraid of getting hurt by a ball. They threw their bodies at our shots. That's why they r 2 up.

 

[LocalNative]

Anyone who expected Everton not to be Everton hasn't been a fan for very long...

So we should of expected to be 2-0 at half time against Barnsley?

 

[maccavennie]

too many men pretending to be football players and stealing a living on that pitch.
disgrace to the shirt.

I think jags should actually act like a captain and motivate his team.

furious

He looked like he has been on the lash that half. Absolutely awful performance from him.

John Stones looking every inch the 40 million pound player.
