We need to be right on it from the start of the second half as these will be well up for it only being 1-0 down. An early goal for us this half would knock the stuffing out of them.

 

[maccavennie]

I think we have been fine but we have to get out of bad habits. We beat our men and still hesitate some times to put a ball into the box or play someone through when it's on. KDH turning around and killing a breakaway a prime example of what we need to cut out of our game.

Think hes been really poor again (KDH) with the ball. Can't knock his endeavour but a lot has broken down with him.

 

[windymiller]

We're winning, which is the main thing, but it's turgid stuff.

 

[allen]

Lescott there with Braithwaite and Gardner in one sentence. Make a basic effort.

Same as the commentary team being so astounded by our kick-off, even though it’s now been employed for three games in a row.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Yeah we are crying out for more pace. McNeill has played well all the same.

Yeah. With an overlapping fullback would work a lot better. Don't see him and O'brien combining.

 

[johnjoeefc]

We are a bit of an odds and sods kind of team arent we like

 

[Davideeyore]

We need to really go at them in the 2nd half. Sometimes we're too slow. Get in to them Everton

Eddie Warings up & over

 

[the golden visionary]

Because he has to do a lot more work than that as a lone striker

But hes not good enough to do that work so he might aswell stay there and stretch the defence every chance he can

 

[Drico]

We're winning, which is the main thing, but it's turgid stuff.

As long as we're winning, we'll ignore the agricultural level of performance on show. Fine margins...

Done. No idea what I've done but I've done it

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I think weve been poor again, far too slow. Full backs constantly 15 yards behind the winger, KDH, Gueye and Illy wasteful with the ball. Beto just feeding off absolute scraps.

We'll need a 2nd here because we've seen this film before. We should be doing much better against a really, REALLY poor Burnley side but we seem intent on playing like absolute cloggers ourselves most of the time.

That rugby kick start from kick off can gtf as well by KDH, proper embarrassing that.

Said it earlier Macca, the Wolves game sprang to mind watching that first half. Wolves absolutely gash, us totally in control but for some reason sitting deep at the start of the second half and letting Wolves back into the game. Hopefully we go for the jugular this second half and put the game to bed early on.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

This was the perfect chance to play an attacking lineup - no need for Gueye either really

Absolutely
I know Moyes is doing ok but the lack of risk taking and ‘going for it’ kills us all

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Yup, agreed!

Also nice to see McNeil playing well too I guess, he's not a bad lad so seeing him do okay is good at least.

Yeah, seems a nice lad. Objectively should be nowhere near an Everton starting lineup ever again by virtue of the alternatives available, but he can’t help that he is and he’s doing a decent job.
