LOSC Lille v Everton. 23rd Oct at 18.00.

[Rook]

Think we've done rather well since we have Hibbo & Distin in the back 4.

French league is so defensive. 0-0 on the road is not a bad scoreline considering we are sitting a bunch of starters.

Would have taken a half like that before the game. Look comfortable and the game is there for the taking later if we go for it.

Quietened them down and made our presence felt in midfield. Need a little bit more in the last 30 minutes but a point will do: they're not mugs.

 

[R.Reddington]

We'll win this game. Definitely. Anyone want to challenge me on that?

 

[quasi modo]

Too slow, far too many players not getting involved. Pienaar does my head in throwing himself on the floor needlessly at times.

 

[deipnosophist]

Ref is shocking - I don't see him giving us anything (we deserve)

This ref is no friend of Everton (@butters)

 

[toffeejack]

nightmare, an utter horror performance from the referee, ruined this game for both teams.

i have never seen a ref give so many free kicks for dives, yet not give the actual fouls, which street do they pick these people up from? pienaar's been diving all over the shop and winning free kicks, whilst ross got scythed down right in front of his nose and he didn't give it, never mind the one where he actually stayed on his feet and the ref prefered to reward diving. RS would be 8 pens up by now.

starting to control that game before HT but no fluidity to anything. getting caught out by their pace over the top, but we can create chances, just haven't seen ross anywhere near enough.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Martinez has sussed the numbers.

Rested key players (Coleman, McCarthy, Lukaku, Naismith...) and expects us to get through regardless of result here.

Also knows Prem big priority now after poor start.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Pienaar is embarrassing to watch.

we wont go for it unless we go a goal down

 

[toffee matt]

Take a point and move on

Burnley is the game we have to win this week

 

[marty mcfly]

We've been really sloppy although I don't think the pitch is helping.

Barkley is having a bit of a 'mare. Oh well we knew it would take time for him to get back up to speed.

I would take a draw but god it's a boring game.

 

[AlE]

All this slow, hesitant, sideways passing, "patient build up" stuff is doing my head in...

 

[flibbyflob]

Well we don't need to as 5 points from 3 games with 2 at home to come is a very good position but we have young legs and plenty of quality on the bench to bring on.

Bit late to the game here lads, why are we sponsorless then?
