I give up. Everton sucks!

Yet another turgid home performance against tosh.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

It was just one of those days, they had RS type luck aswell.

I can't fault any of the players, they all gave their all, the subs were a mess though, Kone and Osman are not going to win you a game.

34 shots on goal, most we've had in a game since 2003 says OptaJoe.

Yes its a second best record to have all those attempts and get beat doh!

Spot on, under Moyes we were the masters of winning these types of games.

These games happen, move onto the next.

Can't remember playing a side that time wasted as much as West Brom did.

Big 50 for me this year and this is going down as one of the most frustrating seasons ever.

I don't think my expectations at the start of the season were unrealistic - I've been around long enough to always be optimistic without being deluded.

Finding it increasingly more difficult to understand how we are not dispatching dross like West Brom away with ease with some of the talent we have.

...you can have 34 shots from the half way line. It would be good if we created 34 chances but that was certainly not the case.

Just seen the goal. Nobody seems to put a man on the back post these days, would certainly have prevented that goal. The RS were lucky not to lose at home to West Brom, same story as us except they got a flukey deflection in the 95th minute.

One of those days. That said Martinez needs a plan to deal with teams that play like this, but he isn't alone. The RS, Man Utd, Chelsea have all struglled against teams that set up defensively this season at home.

...I honestly think it happens too often to be 'one of those days'.

Well on the bare stats we've only won 4 home games which is relegation form so I would have to agree. But I'm not sure that tells the full story.

 

[BlueToff]

But presumably he wasn't ready. That's what the commentary team thought anyway. I'm sure it won't be long. But Mirallas or Pienaar would have been nice down the left wing, because nothing much was happening down that flank.

Think Pienaar would have been effective. Such little space and he's class in those tight spaces.

 

[BlueToff]

There's never enough logic to bring Kone on

It worked against WBA last time like...
