When I used to play in nets (badly) I was always disappointed when I let one in that I got a hand to. I assume Joel will be too.

Sign on for us then if you can save that?

Davidoff · December 30, 2016

Inept, insipid and uninspired.

Incapable of stringing simple passes together consistently

Incapable of pressing for more than ten minutes at the start of each half

Incapable of atleast looking like they care

It's beyond disappointing now

Yes but your blaming a keeper who had no chance on a bending hard free Kick!

You're right mate. Had no chance with a shot he got a full hand to. No chance.

Match report;

Hull 2-2 Everton

Expecting this to be good? Dude, do you even Everton?

Barkley started, and kicked us off. Not long after, Hull score and take the lead. Hmm. A really poor opening period followed. I mean, like, shambolic.

On the quarter hour, Coleman hits the woodwork but let's not forget, these are bottom of the league.

All in all, not a great showing. Think of the most dire match you've seen and multiply it by 10.

Dross, dross and more dross, and at this point you long for Goodison. Mainly because one of the super-obstructed views would be a blessing.

On the stroke of half time we got a bit of luck as a corner bounces in of their goalie.

1-1 at half time.

Much better start to the second half but still far from what we'd like to see. Lukaku came close, and Hull likewise.

Midway through the second half Hull regained the lead with a free kick. Personally think Robles should've done better. Tom Davies replaced Barry after 65 minutes.

It's at this point that I decided there will be no MOTM poll to go with this report as none of them did enough for me.

Ross Barkley netted the equaliser late on but that's two pints thrown away for me.

'Sake....

It's "bro do you even..." but otherwise fair summary.

Ah yeah fair enough I forgot he was involved in the build up to the second, did well to get the ball up there.
I'd love for him to kick on but so far he's missing the most vital thing for a forward; goals. Had one on a plate today and messed it up badly.

yeah viewed from behind the goal it looked like a sitter but he was under a bit of pressure, was getting tugged a bit but once he learns what to expect in this league he'll bury ones like that. At least he's good enough to get the chances,

I dont get it though, when we feel like playing we look decent.

Mate the bloke dived, Baines had a good game and not many others did.

He touched him it was never a foul, but that crap,ref we had a warning how good snodgrass was with free kicks should of had two pens too!

He should be saving it, paper wrists

I assume you mean Kev. For me it said he was happy with a draw. Not good enough that, not against the bottom team.

Yeah. We get level, we have the momentum then he does that. Happy for a draw at HULL ffs. Even the manager thinking small time.

Hangleton · December 30, 2016

We created enough to win easily. Just lacking a little composure maybe - and a couple of players (Rom and Barry) that had poor games.

Fgs good job Ross scored as he would be at fault!
Robles controlled his box tonight made a good save from Dawson and made some good punches too it's a bit unfair put the Stek there he would not have moved for that free kick!

Barkley perked right up at the point that Barry went off.

I said at half time he would soon as Davies came in mate. If Barkley ends up busting out at Everton in main it'll 've down to us playing Barry.

Stanley Parker · December 30, 2016

Clever tactics by Koeman - they've saved a lot for Monday.

That type of game prove Barkley and Lukaku are never ever going to reach the top tier in football,Lukaku had the lead singer of the beautiful south dominating him and Barkley just drifts through games he should dominate
