As a defender I have some sympathy for Mina in regard to the first WBA goal. When I played we were happy to see forwards shooting from over 20 yards, indeed we were encouraged to invite them to shoot rather than have them get in and about the penalty area. As a defender you expect your goalkeeper to save 99 times out of 100.
The free kick was a very good strike, sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say “good goal”.
When it went 2-2 I thought we were going to do an Everton, however we now have players don’t know about our ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
There were a couple of worrying moments, the first goal and early in the second half they broke through the middle and we looked likethe team of Siggy and Davies. However I expect that Carlo will sort that.
Best thing about today was not James doing his stuff but an Everton No. 9 scoring a hat trick, I have doubts about DCL and his ability to take a half chance but you cannot argue against him today.
