Black Saturday

[Frang]

you have to see a 2 nil lead out.

its criminal not winning from there

 

[orly]

I thought that we played ok

 

[Shibbywiggles]

The red didn’t want us to win.

Nice Freudian slip there, I bet the ref is a red

 

[BlueToff]

Where on earth do you begin with that?

Needless sending off, two goal lead blown by hopeless defending, and one of our players seriously injured.

I cant think of too many more deflating days in the recent past as this one today. Gutting on every single level.

*Delete if necessary mods. I'm just thinking there might be a need for a generic thread that's devoted to this game outside of the football dimension.

It's nowhere near as bad as the two times in 2015/16 when we went 2-0 up, got pegged back to 2-2, and then scored a 90th minute third, only to then conceded a 98th-minute equaliser.

I stress again, that happened twice.

Hahahahahahaha

Never change Dave lol

We did.

Just some sloppy individual errors sadly.

But worst day in the our recent history ive heard.

 

[Connor]

Richarlison out for 3 games
Keane carried off
Three points thrown away


I do admire your fortitude. But if that doesn't feel like a loss I dont know what has to happen in a game.

Usually I'd be upset but through three games, we look a better team than we have for 18 months.

I'll cling to the positives as we head into a run of three games where we can win all three.

 

[Igrok]

Nothing unusual about it...pure Evertonian day...

Come on Dave, it was like basketball playing under Martinez, the guy just didn't know how to shut up shop. I just hope we haven't got the Portuguese version now.

The defenders who are rubbish now and letting us down are the same as we had under Martinez and Moyes for that matter. They let ALL managers down. They are a disgrace and this club needs a kick up the arse fior retaining them for so long.

 

[davek]

and given I almost died on a real Black Saturday, neither is your thread title!

What!?

 

[Saint Domingo]

The players are comfortable with 7th, they show it year after year. There is no desire in the playing squad to progress.

 

[balggy]

We have no defence as I see it. I dont see any good enough.

Hard to focus on any one single thing from that game though.

I really think this has to be used as a turning point.

We need to try and galvanise and draw strength form this mini-disaster. The injury and sendings off have to be used like rocket fuel for us.

Character is needed now in bucket loads.

Cant recall a day like this one for years.

Sadly Dave, I do, many many days like this.

A couple of years ago when we are cruising down at Bournemouth, they came back but Barkley put us ahead in injury time only for Junior Stanislas to equalise 8 minutes into injury time.

Funes More scoring late on against Chelsea, only for John Terry to score an offside equaliser late on.

West Ham, 2-0 up in Martinez's last season at Goodison. Miss a penalty and lose 3-2. Winning against Stoke City, lose it late on.

1-0 up against the worst Liverpool side of my life time at Wembley only for Distin to pass it to Suarez, we go on to lose.

I'm so used to it, happens so many times, its to be expected.

Its a mentally thing. Absolute bottlers, especially the old guard (Baines, Jags etc). They just continually shoot themselves in the foot.

If Bournemouth score 2 screamers, fair enough it happens. But Baines is one of the most experienced players and there is absolutely no need to give the foul away for the penalty. He has one of the best goalkeepers in the league behind him and he rashly makes a foul that I wouldn't expect a 17 year old to make. Same with stupid Jagielka against Wolves.

We have seen it so, so so many times.

If you want happiness in life, to enjoy your weekend. Don't rely on Everton for it, because they will just let you down.

Its a mentality thing, as a club we are good comedy value, give the top 6 some good laughs but generally, absolute bottlers. Pure Everton.

Had this prepped and ready to post before the game started no doubt

Give it a rest

Stop making this about Martinez FFS. It has zero to do with him.

Just focus on the issues.

'kin wept.

Every day is black to you to be fair Dave.

Every day is like Sunday

Every day is silent and grey
