Were not Man City. Were competitive, not distinctly better than, nearly every team in the champions league and the premier league.  Were 4th and winning away from home but the other team has had a few chances and we've not been excellent and it borders on an outrage

 

A happier clapper than me you will not find; it's just infuriating seeing us squander possession so much. We're fortunate not to have been punished really, but then so have they.

I missed the goal. We look dangerous in the counter.  Seriously. But we’ve also been sloppy in possession, barely had the ball and Marseille should’ve scored at least 1 by now 

And we should easily have three goals by now. Feckin Gordon! 😡

We are away to the second best side in France, arguably one of the toughest atmosphere in Europe and weve absolutely matched them.

 

Its been tactically brilliant. Formation looks great. The inclusion of Willock has been fantastic too.

 

Weve got some real strength to bring on too. Joelinton is made for this second half.

 

Exactly. People not showing Marseille enough respect on here.

I swear if you just read the comments on here you'd be convinced we were losing 3-0. 

 

Most people backsolve their opinion of performance from the result.

 

The performance in the context of what the team is capable of in terms of quality on the ball, and the need to conserve energy for Everton is - IMO - uncontroversially poor.

As usual we remain possibly the worst team in a top european league at passing out from the back, which is quite annoying. We look like we can make opportunities when we do spring it but the final ball has been off. Can see either team scoring another. 

 

Just for some balance I think Gordon's been one of our better players this half. Made lots of good runs, pressed hard, one good hit from a difficult angle from the right, his anticipation and movement got him the shot which deflected for the goal, linked play when we've had it to feet. Had Tonali rolled it to him instead of taking a weat left footed shot he probably would have scored.

We've had to defend for our lives for most of that first half, we really should give them some respect.

Would like some early subs to try to put this game to bed early instead of going full back and forth for the 90+ minutes. Think we'd turn them over with Hall, Nick and Elanga on

 

Elanga? Thought we were avoiding sloppy possession.
