Has a unique ability to sell his team-mates short with bad timing or technique on the simplest of passes.

Could play 2 more hours against cones and we wouldn't score, manutds defending was awful and we did nothing. We have to stop spending 50m on players whose main attributes are to work hard and run fast.

I would agree that most people could see the way the game was going 10 minutes earlier Wissa should have been on. Would have said the same for Elanga but then it doesnt matter how quick he is if he if somehow Cucurella can still catch him.

Happy with the team. It was effort vs talent today and we did very well i thought. Even 2nd half they score from a free-kick and a thump up the field to an individual amazing effort by Joao Pedro. We should have had a stonewall pedro and Harvey Barnes probably should have scored 2. On another day on the chances we would have had at least 3 or 4. But this happens so often to us, our attackers making the wrong decisions or simply not finishing their chances. Hall and Miley bossed their wingers, i would be enraged if Garnacho was on our team, such a selfish and worthless player despite all that talent on the ball. Chelsea do have some really good players though. Caicedo despite being a cunt just fights for everything and i would love to have him on our team.

I'm sorry Harvey thats embarrasing, try to create something instead of stooping to their level.

Exactly what we need from Gordon, love it when he's on it. Keep it up!

Unlucky Gusto feigning injury to try and get a VAR

Our wingers have the ability to try and dribble whenever they have good passing options, and then try and pass when they have none, i dont get it.

Bruno!!! Thanks dubstep

Gordon doesnt think this is on tv.

So close there too Woltemade. Our corners have been great.

Regularly have to turn the sound off because off this commentator, is this Everton TV or something?

This is Willock from when Howe just took over together with Longstaff and Shelvey, our outstanding player together with the defenders so far. Feel like if we had some sort of composure up front we could have already put them away. Especially Gordon has been dreadful. Runs around all day and tries hard. But his decision making and timing of passing is woeful today. What the hell that was in the end i dont know. Ok you missed the ball in overtime but you still have a great position to hurt them, its almost like he cant be bothered and wants the ref to blow. Just give it to barnes or go inside and get a shot off. Instead he waits 10 seconds, and does a lame passback so the ref can blow his whistle. Also on the roulette wheel it looks like we are not getting the beckham version of Murphy today, but the other guy. really fun game to watch though, if we had Wissa fit today i'd expect him to get a few.

Unlucky. Try to trick burn into fouling you and accidentally get stepped on the head.

Playing well enough, could have used a lesser team today to get the confidence back up. Still feel if we keep trading blows we are going to lose this. Schär looks a bit short of match-fitness understandably. Having actual left backs who can run with the ball is so good. If we can keep them both fit we should start carving through the lesser teams more especially and hold the ball easier.

A couple of years ago if we went down by 1 I was confident we would still be able to claw it back. When we go 1-0 up now im just scared they are gonna come back once we tire.

I'm sorry like it takes a lot for me to agree with the other team. 100% they would have overturned it if he didnt get a yellow card for diving. Trying to justify it to save the referees face.

Need Tonali and Elanga on now i think. Benfica are tiring and sloppy now, need to take advantage with our speed.

Am i wrong in us playing these in a friendly and Joelinton absolutely smashing them and getting sent off?

Woltemades looked absolutely furious at the timewasting and shitty refereeing all game.

Seriously this refereee, i could just roll onto the pitch and get a free kick if iwas a brighton player.

Just every time we play Brighton they get so many free kicks from their shitty dives and never get booked for dirty shit they do.

Fucking Welbeck, ive never seen him play well against any other team. Also starting to get sick of our speed-demon wingers. Can they ever just make a decision towards goal and actually have the technique to do something with it. Starting to question if Jacob Murphy is the best one at the club.

Any PSR trouble forest? I'll take anderson back for 35m

Same, its a bit like when we used to score and they'd zoom in on mike ashley celebrating.
