Skeletor Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) It's a shit result, especially against 10 men. Could only really say Bruno played well today. On a personal level the result really annoyed me as we've gifted Everton a lifeline and I want them flushed. Hopefully the players will come back from the break like they did the last one.

A bit of a pickle is a very generous way of describing the deep hole of financial mismanagement and negligence we are in, but yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Just watched the game, and to be honest Everton we’re extremely fortunate to walk away with all 3 points. Also that Gordon is a snide little cunt who I hope gets snapped in two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Wanted to cool down a bit before posting about result. Overall we were better side, that counts for nothing though, Brighton were better than us and we beat them. Football is strange. What I’ve learnt from Chelsea and tonight. Dan Burn tires a bit and is prone to a howler when he’s knackered, against Chelsea he just switched off and tonight he sort of lunged in on Iwobi way outside the box and was out of position and slow to get back. Although certain players on the pitch will recognise danger and cover for teammates, the rest of our defence is still really poor and will crumble when exposed (Burn getting tired) Both games have also started to go against us as soon as ASM comes onto the pitch. I think on reflection that’s probably always been the case but he’s been our only outlet up until recently so we’ve kinda had to overlook this. Although I love him, he’ll never be a player to take us to that top level unless he changes parts to his game. But am also sympathetic in that he’s not an effective substitute. He’s like a boxer, working out a flaw to exploit.. 15/20 mins is not enough time. Losing the ball cheaply not far from our own box is fucking rank though.. if he doesn’t recognise that’s what lost us the game and to want to address that, then we have a big problem.

It did not "lose us the game" Alex Iwobi (!) breezed almost single-handedly through our entire defence and midfield and people are picking on one of the front three for conceding the goal. That is absurd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did not "lose us the game" Ok not the best pass from Joelinton, but ASM’s instinct was to get control and run with it. Not “this pass is a bit short, I’ll just lay it back” He was tackled as was receiving the ball and he was brushed off far too easily. It wasn’t a hospital pass, he just wasn’t in a position to do what he wanted to do with the ball. Pass, pass, pass, shoot. Dan Burn is equally culpable, not sure what was in his head at that point.

Wullie Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I'd say Dan Burn is about a hundred times more culpable for this particular goal. The Chelsea goal was different class (news to some I think that defenders can't stop every goal) but tonight was a big error. Looked like he'd been listening to me rattle on all night about how shit Iwobi is, just had a massive rush of blood and left us completely open.

Stottie Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Shit performance which would have been forgettable at 0-0, but ended up vexing as fuck due to the goal. We got an essentially free red card but were too leggy and clueless to do anything with it. We weren't able to stretch the play as we did against the 10 of Brentford. Second half blowing smoke, hoofing, and late conceding all reminscent of the Bruce era. It looks like the lads need a break. If its any recompense, this was a reschedule due to Covid from late December. Had we played it then, I think the result would have been the same, only with the points going to Rafa. I think Everton are in a much worse place now than if they'd got a win against us back then. Instead of having Lampard and Dele Alli, they would probably be in a late season Rafa revival.

nufcjb Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) We've been shit at Goodison on weeknights. Always seem to lose or draw. Really hope Burnley or Watford can pull these cunts back down with the run of games tbey have ahead of them next.

Tsunami Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Really poor goal to concede, everything about it was poor. ASM wasn’t strong enough, we were caught out of shape, as a result they got between the lines and then Dub’s positioning was wrong and he gets caught with his weight on his right foot. We let them off the hook big time last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Maybees the defeat, and nature of, hurts more if you've suddenly bought into the myth we're a top10 team. I'll give you a clue, we're not. Was always going to be a tough game, a la Chelsea, and I thought we did well until zip-wire. Went to pieces after the sending off but they looked tired. Welcome break now to replenish and go again. Ps Everton were never gonna be reigated Ps some of our supporters need a reality check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyne81 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 We looked knackered and after a few back to back away games in a short space of time it's caught up with us. Thought we were crap in the second half and never looked like scoring, same should have been said of Everton bar that monumental cock up. I'm sure after this break we'll come back on point. Despite not playing well we really shouldn't have lost the last 2 games so still plenty of room for optimism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all the time and I've never seen a red given because it's never been a red card offence. I'm assuming something has been said and referees are stamping down on just 'taking players out' but you cannot just start enforcing it halfway through a season.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I think Everton will stay up like, a spawny win at home like that was needed. Atmosphere looked great at times too, I don't think the league really benefits from a side like them or Leeds dropping tbh. Absolutely awful game though and probably the first test of complacency Howe has had. Even then though if we have a decent striker we probably win comfortably Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
