Dull first half. There will probably be the usual 10 minute surge after the break, I’d be concerned if a goal doesn’t come then. 

Our cutting edge is blunt and to make matters worse the Toffees have started to threaten on the counterattack.

 

Long for the days of Drogba and Anelka. Our strikers are abysmal

Pulisic is useless, those two freekicks he got could have been great chances if he just passed the ball, or had 5% strength in his body. Its like watching a headless chicken trying to play at twice the speed they can handle. Other then that some players are spending way to long on the ball and only passing to feet. giving Everton all the time in the world to get players behind the ball.

i'm pretty sure we'll still win this 2 or 3 nil

Should be 3 or 4 up, so many clear chances I don’t know how they’ve missed them. If the second half goes as the first, its going to be very boring here at the Lower Shed

It’ll be scandalous if we drop points here. And just confirming we don’t deserve the title

We need the 3pts here because we ain't gonna get anything on Sunday at Wolves...

I think anyone who isn't willing to say 'f**k it, take a punt on Hazard' really needs to watch that half on repeat. Got to be worth a gamble as the likes of Pulisic and RLC will never unlock a team set up like this consistently.  For me both should be moved on in the Summer. 

Now is the time to start…

Frustrating really. Completely dominant but lacking any penetration. 
 

The difficult thing is that there isn’t many options on the bench to switch things around.

Think he was a bit ambitious when he added the zero behind the two 

This performance shows how bad we are on current form at the moment. Yes, we are missing a few but no way near a depleted Everton team. If Liverpool or City were playing this right now, scoreline would probably be around 5-0. Our team is still strong out there. We are making it difficult for ourselves. Really poor. Maybe a mini-break from football will benefit us football wise...

Exactly what I was thinking during the match we need Hazard.

If Everton scores, I honestly do not see how we would not lose this game.

We are so plain, toothless and placid, it beggars belief.

 

 

 

 

The women losing 2-0 to Wolfsburg at HT as well ... god how I hate December !

As much as we are missing players, this team should be beating Everton

God No! He is finished! Carlo is his biggest fan and he won’t dare start him. 
Last thing we need is an ageing player who has scored 4 league goals in the last 3 seasons.

Not January then ? :-) 

f**king Oliver and f**king c**t Iwobi

Iwobi has done him there. 

Every time RLC shows a bit of skill a follows it up with a terrible pass.

i am exasperated
