Bloody hell you should do the lottery tonight
Come on why should going for a third like most teams would and game management be something for next year? We actually did come out good 2nd half and passed the ball much better. However we didn’t get the third and after 20 mins the game went back to how it was in the first half. We couldn’t string passes together, kept playing silly passes at the back and in field. Their equalise in 94th min we have the ball in our half richi loses it after holding on to long then we give the foul away. What I don’t get is why do we never try to play it long into oppo half and then push up and press. However what killed was the intent shown with the skipp and drag subs. We had no creativity left kulu was shite again abd basically we were playing to hold out. Even then they had a great chance which the guy didn’t connect well. We need to learn to control games better and remeber they last 100 mins.
Unlike the Brentford game, where we did get the 3rd, Everton's late goal shoulda just been a consolation...
We scored early (like against Wolves) and conceded SO painfully late (Wolves again) ... Yet in both games we failed to score more than 2 and paid the price...
No, we didn't play well, but how many times to teams play badly and still win...?
Hallmark of Champions innit?
But we're not there yet.... YET!
I spotted that and said it as well. Instead of getting between the ball and man his almost behind their player so never gonna get the ball. He did that a few times. It shows a little bit of chickening out as he doesn’t want the pressure of the player on him. Crap either way you look at it.
It’s the colour of a shit when you didn’t have time for a meal so ate a protein bar instead
That was the problem all game!
Wasn’t 50/50 was 100% a deliberate foul.
Pre meditated foul and premeditated no call from Michael Oliver
He knew about the story around the Ake goal and was expecting Everton to do it as well. He’d already decided to let some of them go.
This is the disgusting culture of premier league football now.
I was saying that at the time. He played well and worked hard but so many times he tries to run with the ball to long. In fact his not the only one. Destiny is great but he has to pass the ball earlier. His young so will learn. But in 94th min with the pressing is all game on our own half don’t try to dribble with the ball. Get it up field. That really cost as the free kick came after that!
I know we just didn’t show the real desire to get that 3rd. We played far too slow and just pissed around dicking around with the ball at the back. We never learn!
U dogie dribbles too much in our own half and PEH gets rid to quickly without looking
I think we were expecting tap-in goals the whole match
richy 's second goal an exception
dicking & swinging around front to back to left = ange ball?
or is ange ball (start) the goalie's short pass to the CM or CB to pivot left/right with his back turned to the opposition? i.e. deft touch right/left without knowing what's behind him.. playing out from our penalty area
the halllmark of ange-ball =
very low line after start of play from keeper.
very high line once our attack phases has started.
not sure of slow ball movement ... - Romero is quite slow in distributing

Sure, but isn’t this a Ryan Mason issue? His job is set pieces (I think), and there was talk from someone here that Everton would do just this. Our defenders should’ve been prepared and made sure that Vicario wasn’t bothered.
And yeah, of course a piece of that is that Vicario was a little weak (maybe not brave enough on the second one either), but the corners looked like a problem for the entire first half.
Lets not start lying to prove a point. Go back and read... I did not saying anything close to us being "dominant".
I said we were a) better in the second half (in response to you claiming it was basically 85 mins of shit like Wolves was) and b) created more chances/shots that actually needed a save than they did
Add those shots onto the quality of play that led to BOTH our goals and I put it you that the XG stats on this day are misleading.
Anyway..... Moving on. Pretty pissed off about the game and 1 or 2 other things.

But sure we have to adapt the way we defend set pieces half way through the season because officials have decided to ref us based on a narrative.
Sounds like a totally legit sports competition.
Shhh don’t ruin the click bait narrative
Tbh the Athletic guys are usually better than that.
Honestly, I hate the kit colour...
There are SO many colours out there to choose from (I realise that away kits have to be every colour under the sun these days, but this isn't even a COLOUR!!)
But from a certain distance, Porro & Richie looked naked in that kit at times today!!
...though I STILL think we should stick to 2 or 3 colour combos MAX for our away kit...
NAVY/WHITE,
ALL YELLOW,
or ALL SKY BLUE.
That's IT!
Go on, hit the disagree button you heathens!
Other goals :
1 vs Burnley after being 5-1 up.
1 vs Newcastle after being 4-0 up.
2 vs Chelsea after being down to 9 men
1 vs Palace after being 2-0 up
Such a pointless stat.
