Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur, Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Daytripper]

See Liverpool have scraped another late win.
FFS.......they really are the devil's spawn.

Whilst i understand where you are coming from, to say they are not gracious in victory or defeat is a understatement..they don’t give up mate.

They had a dodgy VAR decision and ended up winning by not giving up, we had the likes of Tony Scott from the Echo last week saying “anyone would lose their heads after that”. It was 2-2 at the time! It should of made us more determined to push on and win not feel sorry for ourselves.

It does my head in the mentality out there in particularly by the more outspoken and media folk. I don’t like that club at all, they have a better mentality than us and have for years. Sick of it.

Beat Spuds 3-0 tomorow and we're up to 12 th.....heady dayz.

What could possibly go wrong...UTFT.

Southampton away next weekend is the most obvious defeat for us all season. Every tackle they put in is going to be cheered like a goal. Makes the need for 3 points tomorrow even more important.

If we win tomorrow wonder if Poch will get the boot?

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Sir David of Moyes. Not really sure. Maybe just to steady the good ship Everton.
Maybe even to tighten us up for next season. But could anyone be any worse than Silva.

My David was Unsworth and the simple answer to your question is NO!

 

[gonetomorrow]

We will win. Hurrah!

Irrelevant, mate. My only worry is that we won’t be able to get the ball into the net around Kane’s massive, massive dome.

 

[The Penny Blue]

Neither have any positional sense, neither are great at tackling and Delph has probably been our worst midfielder this season

Neither are great at tackling but boast the best tackles made per game, Gomes is probably our worst mid at defensive positioning and can’t make a recovery run without fouling, and Schniederlin/Gomes have made the least advancing passes out of our mids by the eye test

I was the resident compiler for the local paper for six years but stopped as they didn't have a crossword editor to keep me on my toes. That was eight years ago and I had got a bit rusty since. I've already had one cryptic published on Big Dave (pseudonym Dumber because the MENSA magazine asked if I could dumb my clues down a bit for them!) but my second puzzle includes a couple of my favourite clues, one of which won a Guardian Unlimited clue-writing competition years ago - Yep, it'll stick plastic instantly (7-5) and another that is too easy for regular solvers but has a good surface reading - Sailors in the drink (8)

It was suggested I change my pseudonym so I dropped the D and am now Umber.

Absinthe...and I’ll think about the other one.
That’s an interesting tale you tell...I would imagine constructing a good cryptic to be quite challenging. Good on you for taking on that challenge

I have to totally disagree with you both. I believe that neither is, rather than are. Sorry to be argumentative.

All the teams around us bar the Toon had a bad day.
Just for once, prove the pessimists wrong and win tomorrow do us all a world of good.

If Spurs turn up and score then I am concerned we will get another beating. It's sad times that our own shot is to score first....

 

[billyblue80]

We need three in midfield tomorrow otherwise Spurs will dominate us in there. But we know Marco will stick to that bogglingly out of date 4321.

 

[Gilbert..]

I just dont know or can predict anything with this side. I thought the west ham performance was good but the demons in my head looking at west ham since is saying did we beat nothing.
But we're at home. And we need these points. Coz i cant see us picking up points away from home more or less anywhere.

Here’s a fun stat: last Everton victory against Spurs? 9 Dec 2012.

That ends 3rd Nov 2019 mate, 4-2 to us. Goals, Lewin 2, Schneiderlin 1, Sigurdsson 1.
