I was just about to pos that.

 

[TheBigIguana]

We're going to need Iwobi and Kean ready as soon as possible on that evidence. Gylfi better keep scoring goals because he offers little else sometimes. Back looked solid but we've already got problems in midfield with Gomes going off hurt.

 

[Petit]

Thought we were piss poor going forward.

We were. Sigurdsson looked unfit and Richarlison is wasted on the right. DCL was just DCL.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Sigurdsson should have scored as should Coleman and richarlison. Game changed as soon as we lost gomes. Gbamin seemed to enjoy falling over his own feet but early days, first game nerves. It's a point, a horrible disgusting point but a point all the same. Win next week please blues.

 

[Parker]

Mina, Keane and Pickford were our best players today. Just hope Gomes isn't anything bad.

 

[Toffeepot]

Pickford is class
Mina is a beast
Gbamin needs time
Schneiderlin's snide needs reining in a bit
Siggy and Richy had off days
Starting with a red card again haha Everton that

 

[Toffe3m4n]

One of those typical, scrappy, clearly-not-up-to-speed-yet opening fixtures with a bit of disorganisation and indiscipline thrown in. We'll undoubtedly get better.

Keane & Mina the biggest positive for me today - another clean sheet and both looked assured throughout. The front four and the midfield still needs work to come together.

 

[bluelegend]

Seamus, Mina, Keane up to the level expected. The rest look way off.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

We've spent abar 400 million to become the most toothless boring pointless Everton team to ever exist.

You don't remember Walter Smith, do you?

Get in the bin Everton

 

[chaotic8512]

Another toothless draw to open the season against a mid-to-bottom table team. Awful crap that we’re dropping points we shouldn’t.

Everton that.

 

[blue61]

Joint 5th, well poised.

 

[toffeejack]

We just don’t play that way enough though. Just so hesitant

Possession for posession's sake. It's because our wingers play as wingers, whereas we need them as wide forwards. Maybe a 4-3-3 would be better.

 

[trueblue84]

Not a bad result considering Richarlison had no pre-season, Gomes got injured and we had 10 men. Kean to start next week and we will be much more threatening.

39 points off safety

Exactly, 13 wins and we are safe! Thought we created some chances, but didn't test them enough, happy with the clean sheet though. We created more than them and had more of the ball
