Match Thread Huddersfield Town v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Gwladysstreetlad]

the cracks of no striker? The cracks of selling gana and not replacing him? Or the big giant ones of koeman and Walsh? It’s going to take a while

The one were we're absolutely gash and couldn't even beat Millwall reserves or even manage more then three shots on target in over 96mins againt them?

The one were more then half our fanbase don't have any belief in the manager?

The one were a good section of our players don't look like they care most weeks.

Do you want me to go on about all the problems the club faces that won't just go away based on a win againt the worst side in the league....

As I said pal, we can only enjoy this win for what it is at this point but it changes nothing really.

Silva safe for now...and probably until May. The decision pending is stick or twist.
Moshiri / Brands, both? One or the other HAVE to get this one right.

What can we do? Other than give Silva time
We can’t do anything. We are absolutely light years away from even the top 6 it’s depressing

 

[everton1953]

Don't be too downhearted, we just won a game. Be a little upbeat.

 

[sconeblaster]

Good result at last. Looked slightly better against a v limited team. What concerns me still is the confidence, we are shot to pieces. Baines showed the way in the 1st half until his injury. Digne unlucky but showed his lack of defence awareness again. I'd play him in front of Baines. Any way 3 welcome points and let's move on.

 

[Seathestars]

I’m just relieved with the result.
Was dreading a slippery slope, although we’re still garbage.

 

[Kenshin]

Wouldn't disagree mate. But after the debacle at Millwall and the losses recently (bar Bournemouth) I felt nothing more than a win was required tonight. We got it (admittedly against the worst team in the league). God forbid if we'd lost or even drew.
Under no illusions how things are going. Been supporting this club long enough to know the warning signs too. Wolves at home will be tough for us I know.

The win was the main thing yeah, don't think Silva would have recovered if we dropped points tonight, despite the best efforts of the team to!

But as I say this means nothing if we don't win at the weekend. Even a draw and we meekly stumble through the season which is fine at this point. Nothing to play for after all.

It was a must win game and we won it. I just personally take no comfort in it whilst we did so in such as terrible manner. Even a boring defensive 80 minutes to hang onto a 1-0 would have been fine. Not a red card and camp in our own half for no reason type of result.

Gomes was effective playing deeper starting attacks. Glad Tosun had a good game

 

[MarkHollis]

Top tonight:
Davies
Cenk
Keane
Zouma
Picko

Did alright:
Richarlison
Baines
Coleman
Kenny
Bernard

Not much to do:
DCL

Missing in action:
Sigurdsson
Gomes

Jesus wept what the hell was that:
Digne

Great to see 3 points and some defensive composure!

 

[ToffeeTim]

Good clean sheet. Something to build on. Plenty to work on no doubt though.

Good to see Davies back and have a solid match. I'd like to see us try and build him up again to his initial form 2 years ago. The rest of the season is a good opportunity.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Voted for Pickford for the 2 late saves, keeping us in the lead. Thought Zouma did well too.

 

[OneTrueLegend]

We are safe with 33 I would guess. Won't need near 40.

40 points is definitive though, 33 we would be relying on other results on the final day and I don't want to do that again. Particularly as it looks increasingly likely that them lot from across the park will be winning the league

 

[Ring master]

The Pickford saves and the late presure they were putting on us from the Red card had me thinking we would conceed last min-probably like most

 

[captainvindaloo]

MOTM has to be Pickford, as without his excellent saves we most certainly would have lost. Davies and Tosun would be next in line, for their hard work and industry. The rest, by comparison, looked ordinary.
They are not yet a team.
We won tonight, but it was by no means a professional job of work.
Happy with the three points, but not convinced by the performance.
We (and Silva, no doubt) will see out the rest of this season, scrappy disorganized game by scrappy disorganized game.
Hold your head up high, but control your expectations, and you might just cope.
Yet another summer of cleaning out, sorting and rolling the dice on new players awaits.
