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

[arbok]

The difference having maupay on upfront is night and day

High IQ player, a bit like aguero lite

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Onana is tremendous, do worry he'll have theatrics around him now though.

His booking was a joke.

Tsimikas committed (at least) 3 challenges worse than the one Onana got booked for.

Remind me how many yellows he’s had?

 

[Deulofeumygod]

So many players I like in the team. I really didn’t like a lot of last season’s starting 11

 

[kenada_blue]

I’m just gonna say it, Tom Davies has played really well and should have scored.

**runs**

Gana would add a lot more though.

Just think if the RS step up the intensity he'll be lost.

 

[eurosrees]

We’ve played really well there, lovely bit of midfield pressing, Onana, Davies and both full backs have been excellent

 

[Zeitgeist]

Good half..

Maupay has made a massive difference

Unlucky not to score and fortunate not to concede great save by Pickford

 

[Nymzee]

I think he is playing well. missed a chance but it was a reaction shot
I don't think it is hatred by most. its just they don't rate him highly as a footballer and that's their opinion.

for me he is a squad player who doesn't stand out at anything. but he is committed and gives 100%.

I don't rate him that highly but he's played great today. People asking for him to be subbed off are either hating him or blind.

 

[Cels]

Decent enough first half for us, it's essential that we keep up the intensity during the second half.

 

[Muggins]

Would be amazing if we won this. Based on the first half effort it’d be deserved.

Come on Everton, best chance kick on today!

 

[Davideeyore]

Worry about the booking though.

Probably take him off for Gana then the ref will send Gana off!

 

[matty1878]

We can look like a million bucks and we still end up losing against them.

i would be overwhelmed with a draw

but i can’t see it

and the ref is bell

 

[Milkman]

We can look like a million bucks and we still end up losing against them.

If we do then, well, it's nothing new. We can take comfort in that we look a million times stronger than before

 

[TheBigIguana]

High IQ player, a bit like aguero lite

You had me for the first half lol

 

[cronullasharks]

Not surprised that rat at LB for them escapes a yellow but Onana gets one. They don't bother hiding their allegiances these referees.

 

[captainvindaloo]

Onana should not be on a yellow. He's been outstanding today. But, we're playing them, so controversy and dubious refereeing highly likely.
