Match Thread Everton v Them - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

Not gonna lie - im gutted tonight

Sat on the train home listening to blues singing a 0-0

Not sure why im so down about it tonight - other years I'd be delighted with a draw against the mutants

It was our best chance to beat them for ages. I thought we should have really gone for it in the last 10.
If we had more points on the board we would have I'm sure.
That said a draw was probably fair - but I know how you feel.

We were knackered in the last ten

True. Would have been interesting if Garner was an option.

Dont get too down lad. There are a lot of positives from the match today. The blues will be celebrating the manner of the performance not the result. Early days and all that. Up the toffees.

Was out with family today (first time we've all been able to get together for a few years). Obviously we were on BT so sky won't be doing one of their hour long shows... Are we first on motd, or do BT do a rerun maybe?

Yeah it was all about the performance after not just years of backs to the wall being our only option against that lot but the fact all last season was backs to the wall.

Lampard has us drilled like a Mourinho team from his days at Chelsea. We’re incredibly hard to get in behind and are a real threat on the break with pace and power all over the midfield and attack.

 

[Connor]

One horrible gang of ugly scruffs them - on and off the park. We should have beaten them, but would have taken point if you'd offered it beforehand.

Its coming. We've been fine so far, and played a few games without a striker - that changes now with Maupay and DCL coming back.

Onwards, Evertonians

The best I could get from the rs bro in law was the challenge wasn't a red...more a deep orange.

They know they got 2 lucky VAR decisions.

The default VAR setting is - a quick unofficial check of the badge first - before the official freeze frame and movable line BS...just ask Moyes and Silva - or Onana for that matter.

if that is true, it is once again shameful behaviour.

It’s true mate, I heard it from the head steward in the top balc before kick off, he got told it over his radio.

 

[toffee-boy]

Good night blues, alarm set for 05.30 to get the train... Then hopefully home 16 hours later still singing the blues ? UTFT

Just got home... Well worth it

bet it never gets mentioned where it needs. THey're heading towards more deaths, they never ever learn.

We couldn’t go for it as we have zero attacking options off the bench. It’ll constantly come back to bite us in tight games.

Played well today but ran out of steam last ten up top.

which?

 

[Blue Roo]

At the end there, passing it round the back, like an oddity at the end of how it was played.
Some of the cancelling out, with style and/or wit was superb. I don't doubt Mykolenko anymore.
