Match Thread Everton v Brentford - Up for the Cup Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

Much better bar a few nervy minutes after the penalty.

Great to watch us actually have some possession.

Think an Allan / van der beek / Alli midfield has some real potential.

Though Mykolenko looked solid if a little bit meek defensively at times…he’s going to have to have a big second part of the season with Godfrey out. Big onus on keeping Mina fit now.

I think we will win enough points with the attacking players we have to get to safety. Defensively we need some new players in the summer as I have no faith we can keep clean sheets.

It's an attractive midfield on paper. One to be snide, one to box-to-box and one to stretch defenses and provide attacking quality. In principle, all should look better playing next to players at that level.

Hopefully, Branthwaite can step in and do a job if we can't keep Mina on the pitch.

The contract situation will force a Mina sale-and-replace, and at a minimum we have to do something about Holgate.

‘Sake. One of the few games I’ve missed this year, and we actually win one.

Get in blues.

So just miss the rest of the season then ;-)

Shall we build a land fit for heroes? Even Iwobi and Tosun ffs

 

[kleew]

I’m out all day with pre arranged plans, had to give away my ticket and didn’t catch any of the game at all.

Can anyone give a succinct summary? Performance? Tactics? Crowd?

We were anything we were not

Someone needs to count how many passes we made leading up to the fourth goal

Just needs an Elton Welsby twitter space to make my weekend complete @tommye

 

[GOT1985]

Game of the season by some margin IMO

Let's play how many times he can mention the cone layer in an evening.

Prior to the appointment of Lampard, every single defeat and poor performance is now down to Ferguson

 

[Bungle]

All players deserve another crack at it under new management.

Sigurdsson's ears have just pricked up

 

[Syphon]

Been a long time since i watched us actually pass forward and attack.
Great start

Witchcraft

Pure witchcraft

We were anything we were not

Helpful.

 

[COYBL25]

@COYBL25 we're on two.

How many times for a full house ?

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Good to see an academy player do his part on a day it was needed and to get recognition for it...these are the things that need to happen.
