Match Thread Everton vs Brentford - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

[Daytripper]

Having a decent manager is clearly already getting more out of the team, we're starting to at least look competitive.

Wholesale changes in personnel havn't exactly worked well in the Moshri era have they? Let's build on what we have and get re-established as a top of the table side and go from there.

Forrest brought in c.30 players and that's not exactly gone well for them.

I’m not saying we should go the Forest route. I’m saying we need more than a couple of strikers to make a difference. Better wide players, more effective centre midfield players. There is a lot to prioritise unfortunately given what a poor side we are and I’m certainly not suggesting they should be addressed in one window like a Forest spending spree.

Things haven’t worked well because of the people at the club, poor decision making in particular has brought us here, hopefully that’s changed soon and things can start being put right.

Both centre backs for me.

Why cant it ever be easy to watch Everton?

Because then you don't get the sense of achievement...

 

[Bluerover]

Two defeats and -somehow- a win against Spurs methinks...........

If we could somehow get 4 points then I will believe.

Still need those below us to squander games in hand.

No one ever said it would be easy being an Evertonian!!

 

[MisterJ]

No pressure. I think we can win 1 of them.

I quite fancy us against Chelsea. I know they've finally started to win a few, but they aren't convincing

 

[gonetomorrow]

I'm very fickle. I secretly wanted LFC to beat Bournemouth.
Now I'm glad they lost.

 

[Davideeyore]

Don't know what to play. You make me feel ....Dwight McNeil, Never felt more like... or maybe Spirit of the Blues.

 

[alel]

Thought we played well in the first half similar to all the home games under Dyche you could make an argument for us winning all of them,and we should have been more than 1 in front. I am not surprised they were unbeaten for 12 games considering the luck they had, clear and obvious my hole!

That must be the biggest unbeaten run in the league I think sometimes we forget where we are Brentford have definitely been playing better than Chelsea Man U and spurs so definitely a big win

It still would have been better if they won but I can never be truly disappointed when they lose.

Both centre backs for me.

They were both excellent. Tarkowski had a low key great day.

 

[BluePeadar]

@cronullasharks . Cherish days like this. Up Up the Blues

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Hope it's not an Asda one. I'd barely gotten to the car park before my plums had fallen out and were rolling past Clinton Cards......

Hold your plums Billy

 

[davek]

Seamus edged this from McNeil and Tarkowski IMO.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Swear filter avoidance

 

[maccavennie]

Mcneil motm not just for the quality strike, but for the vital clearance off the line.

Effective both ends of the pitch.
