Very annoying
Richi gets us out of jail with that 2nd and then we concede a very late goal like that
Beforehand I thought a draw there was a par result but not when you see the effig thing out almost
Shame that Richi's chance for a 3rd was well saved
Last few weeks only City have beaten them at Goddison

Pickford made 3 or 4 saves second half. One from Maddison
...and we didn't!
Had we remembered how we started the 2nd half against a VERY similar team in Brentford (it WAS only 3 days ago) maybe we coulda been out of sight by the hour mark... Then Ange coulda brought on who he fucking wanted!
I'm not saying a 3 goal blitz in 7 minutes again, but this time, we WERE winning, so even 1 more goal early 2bd half would've shut those ear piercing, glass shattering Scouse voices up!
But we seem to have forgotten how to be ruthless, and lethal, with fucking NO MERCY!
...and it cost us (again)
I assume Villa will be showing us how to take full advantage this evening?!
Or put Udo at LW where he does less damage defensively, and bring on Ben Davies.
No way Big Ben lets Branthwaite have a free header like that.
Watch us do it and get penalised though
All from outside the box. And all were saves that you'd expect a keeper to make. We got bailed out by Richarlison today, there's no 2 ways about it...
Who the fuck are you knob chops?!
I’ll tell you who, one of the ‘fans’ we could do without!
I know it's hard to take positives from that, but there are plenty. Don't get me wrong, it was a frustrating performance and the set piece thing is obviously concerning, but Richie looks really at it now, Maddison is properly back, and above all, Micky looks like the quickest defender in the world, and given his reading and decision-making, might well go on to be considered as amongst the very best CBs in the world very soon, maybe even by the end of the season.
If we're honest, surely no one ever really expected us to challenge for the title this season, Europe was most people's realistic ambition back in July, CL qualification would be an improvement on that, and given the gap between 5th and 6th, it may well be that our most important consideration for the rest of the season is simply doing better than Villa. (I appreciate that 5th might make CL, but we should be sufficiently better than Villa to not have to rely on that).

No, keeping the ball stopped Everton picking up momentum like they did in the first half. They are still a hard side to break down.
I’m not a happy clapper, but I thought we largely played that second half pretty well.
I’m not sure where this set piece anxiety came from because I seem to remember most of the year we have been incredible on both sides of set pieces.
I believe we were the last team to concede from a corner in the league. It’s come out of no where that we look like conceding on every dead ball.

As a team, we never look like we are going to keep a clean sheet, most teams we play will get numerous chances against us. If we are serious about challenging the big boys next season, we really need to tighten up defensively as a team. It’s all very well wanting to play open, attacking football but we leave ourselves wide open. How many times did VDV get us out of trouble today. We can’t keep relying on him having to put in so much work, he’ll end up doing his hamstring again
Not guaranteed but looking likely. I think villa peaked & will Continue to drop many points so it’s in our hands really.
