Could not go to the game and in deepest Yorkshire had no access to anything but the score. Doesn't matter anymore cos we won, but I guess it was not good to watch as some are calling for Silva's head?

Yeah we win, which is all that counts. I guess if we played a much better team yesterday we might not of done, but we're in the draw that's all that counts.
However, the football isn't working, there's no progress this season, some want to think we might look better but it's not about how we look to the eye, all that matters is the result.

Just came back from my local and one of the Lincoln fans said to me that Liverpool was one of the best nights out he had had. And how nice all the people were. I haven't been for years, but am encouraged to go again, based on his experience. Even though the football ain't the best, at least the city is!

Yeah I seen a vid of loads of them in town, including the manager haha

Just watched the EFC highlights video and we looked good! Could have had 4 or 5. Lincoln never had a chance apart from their goal which was the two centre back's fault not Pickfords. (Sorry Pickford haters, don't want to upset you). Goes to show how selective highlights can deceive, considering the calls for Silva's head again.

According to social media, he was in Concert Square around midday before the game and having chats with the fans, which I must say is a top effort.

In the end, they all seemed to enjoy themselves which I expect is what most desired apart from hopefully a victory, almost akin to our European tours.

I was speaking to a young Blue before (mustn't have been older than seventeen) who said Lincoln's support wasn't great; I told him to worry more about ours!

Yep. It’s funny when players get suggested and shot down quickly yet are streets ahead of anything we have. Genuinely 16 sides in the premiership have better options up top than Everton, yet we scoff at the thought of most of them.

“Better than what we have” and “good enough for the top half of the PL” aren’t necessarily the same.

Most turned their noses up at the thought of signing Vardy, Jimenez, and Arnautovic. I’m not advocating signing them now, but let’s be realistic. They’d all have us higher in the league and are miles better than what we have.

Not so sure about Jimenez but yeah, I’d snap your hand off for the other two.

Our result not so bad on reflection now? Fulham, Cardiff and now Leicester out to lower league oppo? Performance aside.

 

[ToffeeTim]

There is always at least one shock.

Don't be the shock.

No one will look back on this weekend and talk about how Everton only won 2-1.

...a few teams you wouldn’t be happy to face have gone out today.

The Lincoln fans were good sport around Fanzone, definitely enjoyed their day out.
