One good thing that has come out of this game for me is that i will definitely not be scared of playing them any more like i have been for the last few years. We were as good as them for the whole match and but for some sloppy passing and finishing, decision making with an added dose of extreme bad luck we would have taken something out of this game. It would be easy to blame Pickford but it would also be a bit daft imo. He makes costly mistakes now and again due to ego and inexperience but his positives massively outweigh his negatives. We had plenty of chances to score and the RS only won because we gifted them it in a somewhat bizarre fashion. The pleb running on the pitch before the final whistle celebrating like he had just won the champions league was more about relief and disrespect than winning the game.
They were very lucky and they know it and we were as good as a 2nd place team that is battling for top spot. Nothing to fear from any of the top teams imo and we definitely dont have anything to fear when the RS come to Goodison. This Manager and DOF are going to bring success back to Goodison at some point in the future. We have improved massively and that is just after 14 games. Imagine what we will be like after they have had a full season or two. Future is looking exciting blues.
