Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Gotta take our chance when it comes. Shocking decision by Rich to shoot when DCL is there to do what he does best, tap in.

Otherwise, very positive half, calm on the ball. James looking bright as hoped.

 

[Mozza1987]

Massive improvement. Just need to score when on top. Otherwise fantastic half.

I really like that set up from Free Kicks, where ever the ball is played in, more than likely the defender is running on to it with full vision, not bending their neck running backwards. A lot more vision of the field. Innovative, I like it.

is this even Everton?

I'm loving the new Everton

 

[hktoffee]

James is class.

 

[TGW89]

Don't want to stick my neck out, but I think we're finishing in the top 17

 

[Encoder]

A few slip ups defensively but I'm quietly impressed otherwise.

 

[The binman chronicles]

The back four we have when defending free kicks looks good now we have added Doucoure. Him, DCL, Keane and Mina should be able to deal with the floaters.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I don’t think Spurs are that good. Up top they’re better but our midfield trumps that. Defence is probably like for like but Doherty is always going to leave them open

 

[bluerobert]

If I were Kean or Bernard I'd be itching to get on in this game

I read Kean and Bernard and thought you’d said Karen Brady. I spat at my screen in anger thinking I don’t want that slug anywhere near our team

 

[Amw79]

Decent half that. Great to see a functional midfield. First 10 - 15 mins was great to watch.

Better decision making in the final third and we’ve got a chance here.

 

[Neiler]

Doucs and Jamo class, Allan looks like it’s going to take him a while to adjust to the pace here, started wel, then started to pass him by.

Richarlison and DCL, look like they don’t know what to do with so many new opportunities being created, they will need to get up to the new pitch of things here.

Coleman looks leggy time me, Gomes Ok.

We could be two up, or two down really.

For all our good play we need to find that cutting edge.

 

[james2805]

Lewin not doing enoigh for me, rather see richy put up top and bring Bernard on or give kean a go

I agree. DCL so blunt upfront. His movement has been non existent. Cant even say he's been putting himself about much.

 

[BiggyRat]

Not enough Hoof Ball for me....

 

[gianthogweed]

Looking at this Everton team there is some real quality in there more than even to get a result against these

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Doucoure has a engine.
