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

We lack energy in the middle, it’s all a bit laboured.

And pace oh and possibly some aggression. God buy midfielders.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Fair, however, with what we have what other way can we be effective?

I'd say for a start play someone down the middle of the pitch. Richarlison wide, Iwobi wide, the fullbacks on the touchline. It's basically Gomes and then a hole up to DCL.

I’m not Theo’s biggest fan but at least his pace offers an outball

 

[blue to the bone]

Time for a positive post. Weren't we 2 down and came back to draw last season? And at least our supporters haven't travelled the 200 odd miles and the expense to witness it.

No we led them 1 nil and went down 2.1

 

[BlueStevie35]

The goal was unfortunate but the Richy shot aside we’ve been woeful, the midfield has been an embarrassment. I’d genuine give Beni a go in the second half, he’d at least show some energy

 

[kenada_blue]

We’ve had 1 attempt on goal. Only one team trying to win this and it isn’t us.

Apart from a shot that flashed past the post...what else did Spurs do?

Blocked nothing shots and a couple of freekicks? Even their goal wasnt on target.

 

[maccavennie]

Coleman doesn't trust himsel to have the pace these days,unfortunately. His last season as first choice, I fear.

Agreed Steve, he simply doesn't believe he has the ability to go past a man

 

[Zezti]

Gordon must be perplexed at why Iwobi and Sigurdsson are ahead of him.

 

[Mark barnett]

I think we should bring Siggy on for the second half........ffs.....getting a bit of a sweat wouldn’t go amiss.....

He just doesn't want the ball points at other players to pass it to 45 mil and not one once of charecter

 

[Ring master]

Performance as expected ,not won 2 away in a row in league for nearly 4 years,which is absolutely ridiculous for a club like Everton

 

[neilsyd]

Dreadful first half. Woeful defending for the goal and embarrassing as an attacking threat. Tom Davies and iwobi on the wings in a 4-4-2. Give me strength. How on earth have we ended up here. Can’t string two passes together. These are the games we find out how good some of our players are and so far, they’re miles away. I love Carlo but On another note, allardyce was hounded out for this type of football. It’s woeful

 

[KaiserEFC]

I know the 442 suits the 2 up front but I can’t stomach being outnumbered in midfield with midfielders this bad game after game.

 

[LocalNative]

These lot are utter scheisse too, think any other team in the league would be ahead against them.

 

[Tipp blue]

The whole team have been dreadful, but reading through the thread, it's only certain individuals fault, as usual.

It's the midfield 4, if your midfield is ineffective then there's no supply for the forwards and no protection for the defenders. Not one of that 4 can say they were in any way productive in this game.

 

[maccavennie]

Front two have zero. Relying on the fullbacks to create.

Massive problem is we should have 2 wide players willing to take the ball and run, cut inside etc. Not getting anything from Cannon Shins Iwobi and Jelly Legs Davies.

I think Davies has been the best of a woeful midfield. And he's been crap.

Says a lot about the other 3 who I think have been absolutely appalling and simply not acceptable.
