Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Fansince1988]

You can all go doom and gloom but they have had a right leg up in this game off Pickford and the post.

They are a top side, we are still a work in progress and have given them a game causing them problems.

We are close to being a top side, few more signings and we'll get there under Silva.

For us to get where we want it will defiantly take at least one more managerial chance. Silva is a mid table manager at best and that's where we will Land up, are you happy with that each season?.

Digne
Richarlison
Gomes
DCL

The only players wanting to win today.

Gomes has been very poor

 

[Tin-Tin]

Agree
Put Zouma as defensive screen and bring Mina on

He's played there a few times for Chelsea and dond well. We need an extra man/legs there.

 

[blue to the bone]

Watford was much worse , we just capsulated.

It's really concerning that there is no presence in the middle. No hope really of controlling play to the point where we have to play directly to the attack and bypass the midfield.

Still no real chemistry there, noone really can play together to be able to make those few passes into space. That's the biggest issue we have attacking, hopeful passes rather than telepathic , noone knows where each other will be in the middle. When chances break, we panic rather than have confidence.

Plus the chopping and changing team from the back upwards is costing us on these fronts.

It wasn't mate.
They could have 5 or 6 got there..
And they still could.
The time and space we are giving quality players is frightening.

Again, read what you wrote them look at facts. 1shot on goal. How is that "created plenty"?

Spurs have had 4, one from a Pickford brainfart and one from a spawny rebound off the post.

 

[Joey66]

Completely over run in the middle

That's funny as they have played long balls most of the game particularly down Colemans wing.......

People are caning biffs in the concourse, this is how bad it is.

Tis the season to be jolly

 

[BlueToff]

Zouma was completely in control of the situation. 100% problem caused by Pickford needlessly coming out of the box

That's fine - I agree.

But Zouma shouldn't stop. He shouldn't give a damn what Pickford does. He should clear it.

Can understand the confusion, but I think someone like Jags (not that I'd advocate him in over Zouma) would just take everything out and clear it. That's my point.

Pray to the mighty Oumar and it will all be ok

This is abysmal from everton today. An absolute disgrace of a performance and we've gone backwards from big Sam. For all what most people think of big Sam. I can tell you right now that he would have us in a better league position right now if he has stayed

League position is not the be all end all. Pointless having BFS here if you know you won't have any shots on goal and no intention on playing football. How do you progress playing not to lose and long balls.

 

[ForeverEverton]

1 shot on goal. Silva an attacking mastermind

And Defensive abandonment...... I`m starting to think Silva is a fraud and I`m absolutely flabbergasted that everytime we draw in games we should win we lose a game a lot are coming on here and saying `we were unlucky` `IF this` and `IF that`. When is it going to be WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH! When will that dawn on you, and it will be more than one window to sort this out.

Need a RB, need a top quality CB, a dominant CM like Nzonzi and a prolific goalscorer. I`m not sure we will get that in one window.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Sad to say, again, but if Coleman was a greyhound he'd have been taken to the vet at half time today and put to sleep.

 

[kev101]

Losers through and through! Feel sorry for our better players, most never recover from playing here, even when they move to another club, the Everton s***houseness never leaves them.

 

[sageyefc]

Full Title please mate.You know the rules lol

The Lord prince our saviour oumar niasse, the first of his name, the scorer of goals

 

[tsubaki]

Agree
Put Zouma as defensive screen and bring Mina on

Zouma is not a central midfielder though, defensive or otherwise. We don’t have the people on the bench to change this around (ie take Coleman off) so will have to rely on what we do have.
