Match Thread Everton 0-0 Brentford, Saturday 23rd November, 3pm

[Look to the future]

Struggling to decide on a man of the match

 

[Sean Ashley]

Hasn’t been fun for years

That feeds into the crowd too. This year everyone knows what is going to be served up every game. And in our last season at GP it has been nothing short of a disgrace.

I'd sack Dyche and bring in Rooney. He'd be the perfect fit.

Well once again that was brutal , I suspect we could still be playing now and have failed to score .

Posters in here saying it’s no fun any more I mean it really isn’t , nothing about yesterday was enjoyable. This is our last season at goodison and it ebbing away without even a hint of enjoyment or even atmosphere. We’re a poor side and just to put the cherry on the cake we’re awful to watch .

Smashing

Not really agreeing with the bit in bold but your first paragraph is spot on .

Fair enough. I just think Everton's biggest asset is the crowd and Dyche is playing football or anti-football that completely destroys it.

Just feels we are sleep walking into the relegation zone. We can all see it and only cos of the board total ineptitude is he still here.

I gave MOTM to Ndiaye because he at least tried to be creative in an otherwise dull performance.

 

[BullensRoad]

Seen this and it's spot on.



That chubby Jemma made feel people uncomfortable with racism going away and she got rewarded with a box at goodison at the last game last season.

I agree with some of what he says to a degree but I’ve said it a million times:

What happens online and what actually happens at games, the pub, in person etc are two very different things.

absolutely every Evertonian I know is unified in the club being a basket case, the manager being a dud, the squad being a dud and it not really being worth going to the games, but there is some hope for the future

As a patron of The Old Lady for over 35 yrs I simply want her to bow out with games that befit her long and proud history. There’s a fistful of games left and they’re disappearing quickly under the tedium and mediocrity being served up. It’s a poor squad with an even poorer manager. You get what you give, and we’re giving absolutely nothing. Yesterday, and every game this season and most of last has been as bad as anything we’ve had to endure. Dyche simply has to be replaced with somebody who knows what Goodison Park means to people and the hole it will leave when she’s gone. Even if it’s a temporary appointment, just make a change, give the whole place a lift and show some passion. I can’t believe that professional footballers want to play this archaic style irrespective of how technically limited they are.

Get a manager with the balls to excite us, bring Richarlison home on loan in January, dump the ‘elite striker’ we currently have in the stiffs till his contract is up and get some energy, enjoyment and life back into Goodison before it’s too late.

Didn't hear any till fulltime. Little bit disappointed tbh.

Please say you didnt drag your family from the other side of the world to watch this game?

 

[Fralahna]

In past seasons we needed to avoid relegation. Our aspirations now need to be higher. Dyche isn't the manager for that. With him, we will just continue to fight to stay in the league, despite having the capability of more

Same applies for a 50:50 though right? On the ½ way line that’s a straight red all day long.

Besides it looked like he moved his foot to make sure he caught him on the replay too.

I watched MOTD so you don't have to, pretty odd analysis of the red card I thought. Has to go for it was the prevailing view, but if you go for a ball studs up, miss it and nail an opponent's knee you're going off, no matter where it is on the pitch.

Shearer and Ashley Williams (don't laugh) arguing that the ref should disagree with the VAR for this incident is ridiculous, and doesn't help with the whole ref/VAR situation at all.

Absolute garbage.
No passion and very little skill.
People who simply are not good enough - Doucoure, Mykolenk, Lindstrom.
People who barely make the grade - Gana, Mangala, Beto, Young, Tarkowski.
Awful team.
Get some decent full backs and a CM who can shoot and create.

 

[ToffeeTim]

My main takeaway from watching some of the highlights is how few men we get into the penalty area in open play.

The lack of ambition and caution is ridiculous. How do we score goals with 1 or 2 men in goalscoring positions.

 

[Toffeelover]

Dreading Wolves game.
