Cheers got it

 

[Hangleton]

We got a bit tired there. Not surprised with all the pressing. They are hitting over the top down our left which is causing problems.

 

[maccavennie]

Decent work out that.

Has zonal marking ever been used effectively? Does it need a certain group of players?

It needs inteligent and mentally strong players deffo and you need to work on it for many hours during training. I like man marking, it's far more simple.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We played well there. Good intensity and pressing. Look compact and solid in open play. But my word those set plays are atrocious. Mark your men for frig sake.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Good half that. We absolutely need to start finishing chances though.

 

[TrixyStevens]

Suspect on set pieces. Good exchanges between coleman, Tosun, Dowell and Sandro. Schneiderlin looks like he’s arsed too.

 

[hibbo'sclass]

First 30 minutes looked good I thought.

 

[nsno-chris]

That zonal marking needs to go raar in the bin

 

[Berenger]

Still look a bit last-ditch at times in defence, which was something people said of his time at Watford. But more than willing to take that in exchange for the rest.

 

[BlueToff]

Played well but tailed off.

The players aren't quite sharp enough at times but are getting there.

Agree with @ToffeeTim - set-pieces very poor in terms of defending them.

Good first 30 minutes, after that we didn't manage to press them quite as high. 7 chances for us, 2 for them.

Everton 1: Mirallas shot 9 mins. Casillas save results in a corner.
Everton 2: From the following corner. Schneiderlin heads it but can't direct it towards goal. Great set-piece delivery from Sandro.
Everton 3: Dowell shot with his right foot after he feints a left foot shot first. Punched away for a corner.
Everton 4: Dowell shot with left foot after great lay back from Tosun.
Everton 6: Tosun curler from inside area. Hits post.
Porto 1: Aboubakar from close range after a good cross from our right. Stek saves.
Everton 7: Sandro shot from edge of the area after pass from Dowell, hits the side-netting.
Porto 2: Header from a corner. Stek saves. 40 mins.

(Porto obivously had a goal disallowed, but as it was (correctly) deemed offside it can't be a goalscoring chance)
