Everton - Spurs - Feb 3rd - 12:30pm KO

[bus-conductor]

Not sure controlled is the word.

Midfield has been a huge issue throughout. Frequently gifting them the ball and being muscled off it

Much less so second half. We had 52% possession first half. 60% second half as an example.

 

[rolling boh]

Agree first part. Subs are never good unless you get the result you seek. Bit of the benefit of hindsight in that regard

Fair point but personally have little faith in those two lads .

 

[Incomplete_usernam]

Even if we'd won that was absolutely shit - again - and conceding late on just confirms that.

Sorry lads but not liking this at the moment, last couple of months performances have been patchy at best and I haven't really enjoyed them. People can make excuses about the players we've had missing but before Xmas we might have been losing games like Villa and West Ham but we were completely dominating and knocking the ball around nicely and playing some really sharp stuff.

Everton x 2, Bournemouth, Brentford the other day, and others in recent weeks we only do stuff in moments, possession play has got really shoddy, we struggle to control and keep the game played in the opponents half and it gets end to end and we're wide open and look really vulnerable. Some days we get away with it, today we didn't.

They've got to knock their heads together and get performances back up to what they were earlier in the season.

I have to agree with this assessment, we have been riding our luck in recent games and today was an example of it running out.

We have to get back to what we were doing earlier in the season, the inconsistency is what kills us.

 

[Kane's left]

Dyce just moans at officials all game. Just card him. Way better than them. Tbh gil and skipp made us worse when they come on.

Used to be a staunch defender of Bambi AND Skipp. Both need to take the hit and move to reignite their careers, neither have the steel or quality we need.

 

[Steve007]

Everton 3rd lowest scorers in league gets 2 against us

Says everything, really.

 

[mummy]

Everton are saddled with him.

Dobbin? He just gets the ball and hoofs it upfield.

 

[Steed_Train]

Have a word with yourself , when he is fit he is one Of the best

Hope you’re right as he has been completely anonymous recently

 

[Shadydan]

Reading the comments in here just tells me the match threads should be shut for an hour after the game is finished to let people calm down, some absolute hilarious/wild takes in here.

 

[oldwiltshireyid]

I could see that all day. Why didn’t Richarlson smash it up the line and then Kulusevski. What’s he thinking ? Waste of two points. Idiocy.

Kulusveski had to be a lot stronger there , you just knew they’d score from the resulting free kick , bloody annoying

 

[Jaynola]

Porro was bang average, his passing way off.

Udogie can go on amazing runs, sure...but how many times does he lose possession cheaply? Not interested in defending either...Branthwaite is his man, unless I'm mistaken?

Bentancur was shite. Hojbjerg just can't pass a football 5 yards, unless it's to an opponent in a dangerous area.

Johnson & Werner AWOL...that's new...not.

Subs brought nothing.

 

[erlee]

Yeah I get that we brought in Dragusin for decent money but I don’t quite understand this whole 88th minute sub into a back 3 since he’s come back. It seems to disrupt the assignments Romero and VdV understand all game long.

weird subbing did us in today

 

[tommyboyspurs]

A team with ambitions can't put on players like Skipp and Gil in the final 10+ minutes IMHO. They have to be replaced in the summer with much better quality players.

Bergvall will take skipps spot imo

 

[Boltonspur]

Absolutely love Ange but his subs today were strange. We shouldn’t be “hanging on for the win” in Angeball games. The subs he made suggested just that.

 

[r-u-s-x]

Anyone want to explain how it's not a foul on vicario for the first, and not a foul on Micky for a clear pen? We played poorly but that's absolutely bullshit from VAR

Either of them against us I'm fuming.

 

[Achilles]

Their first isn't a foul. There was barely any contact.

The VdV one. Penalty.

 

[Right as Rain]

Another game with non existent wingers

 

[spPadre24]

Vicario was torched tonight by his team mates and Everton took advantage, some really negative stuff at times with no rythym but Richy head and shoulders MOTM

 

[Darnswim]

Richarlison?

I think first half we didn’t have control and would have deserved to come in level. We absolutely controlled the game that second half, especially after the subs, kept the ball, wore Everton out, they’d run out of steam. We conceded another scrappy set piece goal. They created fuck all else.

Keeping the ball means fuck all if you can't do anything with it. We escaped multiple times because Van De Ven is an absolute specimen. Everton looked way more dangerous throughout the game. Apart from one Richarlison shot that was saved from inside the box we created fuck all.

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Man up vicario btw. Move around box more and control box. Thats your job. Nevermind its a point. Corrupt city liverpool though. Made out theyre hard done by but theyre the real cause.

 

[thinktank]

That’s correct

He makes the odd decent pass and tackle but so many bad ones outweigh those and his failure to track back after losing possession like he did first half is unforgivable imv

And it crushes our game.
