I’m not sure we’ve played Sarriball for quite a few weeks now, that simply wasn’t good enough, albeit with a bit more luck and composure it would have been a different story. Alonso was unlucky, Willian was poor, a few players are noticeably dragging the side down.

I haven't seen Kante tired... on Boxing day, deep in the spring or whatever... somehow Sarri managed to exhaust him. He was totally out of gasoline today. 

We were slow and letargic and I already believe what Naples fan warned us before the season - the rotation sucks. He is constantly changing only Kovacic with Barkley and the others on the pitch - the same heroes week after week. this is not rotation.

Too many holes........we really need more. A loss vs spurs and it will damage us big time.

Both.......this is far from the good stuff we have seen under Sarri.

Honestly don't know whether the abuse got to Ross Barkley's head, but his performance was an absolute disgrace. Didn't do one thing right and that 'shot' was embarrassing, how selfish can you get 

This is over the top. He was on the pitch for about 15 minutes, it's not a disgrace.

Morata back to throwing himself to the floor instead of trying to score I see.

 

What a load of frustrating toss.

Well if we lose to spurs next then we will possibly drop out of the top4.

Generally pathetic but the luck wasn't with us today. Morata needs to go.

He played 10 minutes... what kinda contribution do you expect for that amount of time?

When we drop points the criticism gets turned up to 11.

Rudiger?

As sad as that was, he can have the benefit of the doubt as it’s a one off to date. Mard arse strikers on the other hand.

And there we have it, sit deep and keep in shape two banks of four, put someone on Jorginho and suddenly we look very impotent. We had a few chances second half but never really did enough to win the game.

A bit of both I'd say.

Yes it's a frustrating result but Everton looked to keep tight and they succeeded. I can't stand Kevin Friend as a ref, but Morata was woeful all round today.

I would have liked to have seen Barkley come on earlier but we're still unbeaten that's the main thing.

Have to be happy with the point considering how we played Everton did their homework and played well and disciplined...here's hoping citeh give Mournure a hiding to brighten up my afternoon...onwards and upwards KTBFFH!!! 

Morata is wack. How he lasted the 90+ is unfathomable.

Kanye offers zilch in this formation. All I see him doing is run around like a headless chicken.

Willian and Pedro were piss poor.

Dropped points AT HOME to a very beatable side. Another sloppy af game.

I do not understand what Kante has made to deserve place in the starting eleven. He is totally useless offencively.

There you go again talking about rotation. He has been rotating well enough. Every Europa League game and League Cup game he has fielded the squad players. These players have played just as many minutes as every other player in a top team.

Not a disgrace by any means but he was piss poor again as he has been since he was declared 'back to his best'. 

Kovacic had 1 great through ball and if only Hazard took that chance we would have won, he could have done it. Willian needs more chances to score but Hazard could have won the game, I guess it's too much to ask since he saved us many times before, this time he was unlucky.

I almost want Man City to win and stop Manure from getting close to us, it's about getting the top 4 not about winning the title we can't win it.

f**k it. Still unbeaten.

Man.....a win was crucial. Surely Sarri can see we are on the Down and not up. This team has a fight for top4......we are nowhere near good enough to battle a state backed city or pool who keep spending and have the refs looking out for them. f**king stinking spurs is only 1pt behind.......

Managed to catch the last 15 mins or so, which is why we drew instead of losing.

Don't think Barkley managed to put a foot right after he came on.

Haha good point. If he did it 5 or 6 times a match like Morata then yes I wouldn’t want him to play for the club. It’s embarrassing for everyone and it actually does the exact opposite it’s supposed to and impedes the team. 

FairPlay to Everton they’ve worked all week on their game plan  put out misinformation about Richarlison and stopped Jorginho in the 1st half 

2nd half we’ve perked up especially when Hazard came  alive  and could say we’ve been a tad unlucky 

last season we’d lost this kind of game, didnt  lose and still top 4  think there’s s bit of an over reaction on here for the 0-0

Well not attempting ridiculous shots from 35 yards and giving the ball away every time you receive it is the minimum tbh
