Everton Home Match Thread

[Vacamion]

 

The difference between this season and the last few is that I remain reasonably confident we can turn this around.

 

We get a goal, they will wilt.

Need to step it up lads

[spacemunky]

To compare that half to Puel's Leicester is just ridiculous.

 

Nothing like that at all. Just give Everton credit for doing well defensively.

Why is Gray on the bench is he injured?

He's not on the bench. He's at home with some lemsip.

[KFS]

Don’t say I didn’t tell you so boys.

 

Ref is having a shocker.

Ill according to Sky.

Sky sources?  Could be bollooks

[Harry96]

Barnes has been the one shining light really from an offensive point of view. Perez hasn’t done too bad either 

[lee7]

I think the atmosphere in the ground matches the performance - flat. 

Everton have done little to deserve to be in front & since being in front have had little to worry about. 

 

[lgfualol]

Ergh poor half. Everton surprisingly playing well. Think we thought we didnt need to turn up.

 

Big 2nd half required.

2 mins stoppage. WOT?

Just the VAR debacle must have taken 3. It just doesn’t make sense

Feels all a bit Puel. Playing against utter dross (and they are as poor as anything) start slow, no press, lacking any crispness and urgency, looking clueless against their organisation. 

 

Need a rocket at half time cos that was poor

[Brooksy]

One of those days init

[Corky]

Had some thoughts it would be like this, they are working much harder today than in previous games.

 

Poorest half for a long time.

If he'd just dragged his leg he'd have pulled the honest pen.

Even dragging the leg is not honest although it then becomes too hard to really decipher whether it was honest or not. Even the suggestion that he should drag his leg to get the penalty probably shows the state of the game and how much pressure money has put on it. Not that it's your fault or the fans, we just want to see us win honestly.

 

[Tuna]

No complaints.

 

We've not been at it and Everton have defended well and their gameplan seems to be working at the moment.

 

Couldn't see any contact for the penalty so looked the right call.

 

The 2 minutes at the end of the half was a ****ing joke the VAR shambles went on for about 4 minutes!

 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Need to shake it up after the break. Too predictable for most of that half and lacking urgency. They have packed their half especially after the goal and we've not really looked like breaking them down. Praet on? 

[car1os]

Hmmm… well, not surprised. Everton look organised at the back, have packed their area and have some threat on the counter.  We're struggling to break them down.  They're also committing a number of tactical fouls as we start to break from within our own half. 

 

Was a bit nervous about this game...  Come on Leicester, lets get back into this!

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Was always going to be a tough game

 

come on Leicester!!!

[Captain...]

We've been no different to recent games against Arsenal, Palace, Brighton the difference Everton took their chance we'll win the second half 2-0.

[Blue-fox]

That was an awful half of football

[Vacamion]

 

That Sky / ET advert is AIDS multiplied by Cancer.

Congratulations. You're a prophet! 

Would still totally prefer you to be wrong than care that you're right... 

[Fightforever]

It hasn't been 1 touch all too slow and easy for Everton Rogers needs to scream at them in the dressing room at half time.

That Chilwell incident has really pissed me off, he tried to cheat the ref, the fans and the game and then had the cheek to argue with the ref when he was proven to have dived infront of millions of viewers. We are an honest club, that sort of shit needs stamping out right across the game. We really should be issuing fines for this sort of this and and leading the way. 

Perhaps my TV isn't good enough but was what was shown in the replays definitively not a foul? It was bloody hard to tell and there wasn't daylight. His leg moves away just after potential contact. The fact he's speaking to the ref at half time going off the pitch suggests to me he's convinced he was clipped.
