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

[BiggyRat]

When I saw Allan grab his knee I thought..."Everton that"

 

[Lloydystark]

decent half, can everyone please stop being so negative on here? Pickford hasn’t done a thing wrong, keane has been good, the new lads look quality. Positivity only please

 

[bicycleheader]

So good to watch an actual real life footballer keeping possession and completing passes. Like all the other teams in the world have

 

[ToffeeTim]

Weve played well but could be a little more direct to the front. Jose is all set up to get us on the break so we need to be very careful

 

[Parker]

Allan is a bit slower than I thought he was.

James though. He's absolutely quality.

Typical that Richy misses that, I wouldn't have picked anyone else to go through 1 on 1 with.

Also JP has been solid so far, nice to see.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Shirts look epic too

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Wonder how long some of them are gonna last this second half. Just hoping we don't tire too much otherwise we'll be picked off.

 

[Bkk Andy]

Feel as though we have pretty much controlled the game, 1-10 we are very good. I personally think we need a world class striker to become a world class team. Hopefully he will score a Hat-trick second half but to me we are a striker away from being complete

Pickford makes me nervous. Coleman is poor and has lost his pace. Gomes still flatters to deceive. A decent first half and whilst I agree that we need better than DCL, he would have scored his chance if Richarlison hadn't blasted it wide instead of looking up.

We've played well just need to have more of a threat with our final ball when attacking, Spurs could have easily been in front without some good Pickford saves. Can't complain too much though, it's nice to see us have a midfield again.

 

[LostLegend]

A lot of rustiness, especially with the new guys (as you'd expect)
Not a classic game of football, but there's enough there to make me optimistic about our performances this season once everyone is up to speed.

As I said earlier, great to see we can build up attacking plays without having to bypass the midfield.
James looked dangerous and his passing was sexual at times

Also big shout to Digne who looked very lively down the left!

 

[james2805]

If I could suggest a revolutionary tactical perspective;

How about we try passing it to the striker?

Sorry if I’ve blown any minds with that one

Cant pass to someone that isn't moving enough to be found

 

[Joey66]

DCL looks out of place in this team

Really if the ball had been squared to him - 1-0.......

 

[tsubaki]

a shame West Ham away wasn't our first game of the season because we'd be four or five up now

 

[Milkman]

Coleman has been superb so far. If James does all his crossing for him, he's still a fine defender.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Coleman was decent, people criticise him for the sake of criticising

Yup, pretty sad really. He's been great so far against a superb player in Son.
