Match Thread Everton 0-3 Spurs . Sun Oct 26th. 4.30

Robbie Earle on NBC talking like shoving the keeper is a completely legitimate attacking technique.

Arsenal do it every week

I don’t think it is. A striker and a couple of full backs and we are fine. Spurs havnt battered us.

I feel like our weak links are so poor it takes us down so many levels. If they were average we'd get away with it.

Think we are heading to our usual winter relegation battle again, no goals in this team and that's always a recipe for a struggle. Moyes us just Dyche with more experience.

 

[Frenk]

I’d rather we didn’t play our forwards, is that ok?

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

It is offside by the letter of the law but we all know goals like that get given every week unless you're Everton. Matches and VAR decisions like this consistently going against us are completely taking the enjoyment out of the game for me.

They’ve created too much ambiguity in the rules. They should go back to the offside law we all grew up with.

All you get now is players pushing at the margins and then you end up with inconsistent decisions.

 

[widnesblue]

Who up top ?

Does it matter? We’ve been playing without one all season.

 

[CielosGrises]

Garner, Grealish, NDiaye playing well, KDH too - but we haven't got a cutting edge. Gana been sleepy.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

It was past Vicario before he could react to it, Ili was and should have been a non factor

This is one of the many reasons I hate VAR. there’s never any consideration given to the reality of where the ball is. They review every goal with a default position of looking for reasons to rule it out. Were our players offside? 100%. Would them not being there have meant the keeper would have had a chance? No. Replace them with 2 more keepers and it still goes in.

Same as when an attacker knocks it too far away for them to retrieve and then goes over the keeper/defender and gets a pen.

 

[Zeke]

Massive second half incoming we need to rip into these from the first second of the second half…nick a quick goal and these will crumble…they’ll be dead on their feet having played midweek!

COYB!

 

[Richard Alex]

Not impressed with Spurs at all

Everton have been the better team. Moyes needs to get a grip defensively.

Once you can live with but twice is unacceptable

 

[jamieni]

I’d rather we didn’t play our forwards, is that ok?

I’m on board.

 

[NortheastBlue68]

As Sky have just pointed out, Keane gets dragged back by Palhinha for the first goal and there's an obvious foul on Pickford for the second. If our goal being disallowed is the yardstick, then I'm utterly lost by Pawson's decision making.

 

[kenada_blue]

To be fair watching it back... Pickford is too soft.

Should be dominating that part of his area.

 

[bullybeef]

I’m sorry but we all said we needed a striker who could lead the line and score goals.

Someone paid £30m for Barry and £20m for Beto who can’t do neither.

Heads should roll.

 

[MACCA75]

Beto, KDH and Myko have been so bad.
