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

[Bazali]

A bit green there again at times. At least we didn't lose but we should not have fucked that up.

VDV was a titan today. He's definitely looking like our best CB.

Yup

Either him or Richi for our mom

 

[Phomesy]

We need Bissouma back, our midfielders are unable to keep possession.

Unfortunately neither can he at the moment.

We're still paying the price of an unsettled team with our passing through midfield.

 

[JohnLondon]

We haven’t put in a really good performance for quite a while now

 

[Gmspurs]

Let's just face it......VAR could put up any old shit that they fancy and everyone just has to accept it.

It looked offside in real time, it looked offside on VAR, but they just put up and old shit line and everyone buys it.

 

[JDK]

Thought that was one of our poorest performances of the year. Really Richarlison bailed us out twice.

Everton played with more intensity, didn’t let us play football, and were probably the more ambitious side.

The midfield is a problem at present with Maddison and Bentancur still working themselves back to fitness. Having Sarr back is good but is Bissouma going to be fit to play when he’s back from AFCON?

Teams are also shithousing us now and I don’t think it can be denied that it’s an effective strategy. We’re a bit of a finesse side outside of Romero and Richarlison.

A point at Goodison isn’t the end of the world, but some concerning trends.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Sick of watching these clogger anti football teams. Dirty tactics, shit football and snide cunt players.

Hope they get deducted another 10 points, dirty shit cunts.

Hate Sean Dych teams.

 

[VonnegutBusy]

We're miles off winning a league

Our set of attackers is not good enough to win a league.

 

[Kaz Hirai]

Anges Subs were shit today ; he gets a lot of praise for what he gets right but that was poor , basically conceeded the game and tried to hang onto a 2-1 lead

Well if he stuck to his principles of attack and we got done, people would say he's naive and should've gone 3 at the back
Really can't win

 

[WHL1882]

That’s what happens when you don’t kill a game off. Our forwards aren’t clinical enough and it always threatens to be our undoing. Might have drawn v Brentford and today we didn’t get away with it. Having said that if there was a PL trophy for most whiny fans these Everton tosser would be Champo League no problem

We never kill teams off that the problem

 

[Kane's left]

We were shit. Probably deserved a draw.

That's the simple hard truth right here and for a majority of our games we've played. We don't dominate the game enough, we're not cut throat enough when we're on top. Still very far from having that winning mentality we've been striving for!

 

[Jaynola]

Spursy. When the going gets tough, we crumble. Again.

Plenty opps to score the third but we aren't clinical enough. Nowhere near.

But mainly...fucking ridiculous that YET AGAIN we don't boot the ball clear when leading 2-1 away from home with seconds remaining, but that's Angeball for you. And we called previous managers stubborn. Those 2 pts are on the big fella.

Another below par performance, they're piling up.

 

[Gmspurs]

This game today is why people don't take us seriously when talking about winning the league.

We are so far off at the moment. But it's early days.

 

[Aimson]

Its like a big wet blanket of Conte/Mourinho rests over the team...go up and we stop playing, why the fuck is that.

 

[Incomplete_usernam]

First off, Everton get right on my nerves with their hard done by entitled attitude. They spent most of the game booing as usual.

However, defensively we were very poor today. It’s clear that we struggle with defending set pieces, and more teams are going to exploit that if we don’t improve in that area.

So annoyed that yet again we come away from Goodison Park with a draw when we should have put the game to bed much earlier, if it wasn’t for Richy, we lose that game

It's fucking infuriating that we allow a team full of bang average mediocre footballers like Everton stay in the game instead of just putting our foot on their neck when we are on top.

The issue remains at this club, we don't have that killer mentality required to win trophies.

 

[meaningless-friendly]

Tactics for a result against Spurs - hoof the ball into the box or hoof it over the top, and wait for the fuck up.

 

[Notabadsquad]

Big two points dropped lost our chance to make up a bit of ground and consolidate a top four spot .It's been a constant with us over the years conceding goals no matter who we play .Seems to have been two poor subs choices as well .

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

 

[thinktank]

Must say werner dissapointed me and I hope hojberg doesn't start again

He was isolated a lot of the game and had two to get through, every time, with no overlapper.

But, yeah, overall, least impressive game of his start with us.

Hojbjerg is just an abomination.

Every now and then he does a couple half-decent things and people forgive the utter poverty he brings, in general.

 

[Hampshire Spur]

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.

 

[Stateside Spur]

Bringing on Skipp and Dragusin hardly screamed go for the third though?

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.

 

[Sumo70's]

Conceding that late, really weak mentally.
