Slight pull(?) ignored by ref all game or Barkely should have been booked first half thereby curtailing his expansive play. Consistancy is all I ask. Great game to watch as neutral and pretty damn good as a Spurs supporter.

In that case Barkely should have been booked in the first half for tugging back an attacking player. He only avoided a card as another Everton player was booked for hand ball.Consistency is all we want. Barkely would have been cautious for the entire second half thereby nullifying his threat, Anyhoo that was a great game for the neutral and pretty damn entertaining for us. Alli is a real steal, what a player, Loris was majestic when needed and we now look a real effin team.Son pulled his shirt, gave the ref an easy call to make.
Have I blocked all these people slagging of Carroll or what? I see a buch of people outraged by how some here are talking about Carroll but I can't for the life of me find any horrible comments.
Michael Oliver, disgusting ref...one of the worst in the league.
What plank was trying to say he was one of the best, fuck me.
Yeah Barkley should have been booked that was as clear a call as you'll ever see. But so was Son's so if you want consistency both were given as free kicks.Slight pull(?) ignored by ref all game or Barkely should have been booked first half thereby curtailing his expansive play.

Thought Caroll was quite good in the first half, but second half was quite poor (along with a few others in the team. He does lose possession a bit too often for me. Dembele was definitely missed today imo.
Overall, disappointing result given the first half performance. But Everton upped their game in the second half, so at least we didn't throw it away.
I base my opinion of Bentaleb on everything he did for us last season, good logic? Yeah, I'd say so. I guess your logic is to cut someone from the team forever because he had a few bad games after returning from injury? Good logic.You want Bentaleb who in the last few times he has played has been poor and cost us goals. Good logic.
I think the problem is mainly multiple "announcements" about how badly he played that either providing no supporting argument or quote false facts, such as that he "passes backwards all the time".
And there are quite a few posts that say "Carroll is shit". Personally, I think there we could benefit froman algorithm on this site that automatically applies a ban to anyone who posts that a Spurs player "is shit" instead of making an actual comment about his performance.
He worries me tbh. Is he the player who we saw when he first arrived, fast, hard working with a lethal shot? Or the the erratic player who has come back from injury, still pacy and hard working but, and it hurts me to say this, no better on the ball or more intelligent than Townsend.
I disagree with the selection, but last time he featured Bentaleb hardly filled us with confidence.Obviously Carroll isn't to blame for not winning that game. However, he is quite clearly the weakest link in our team by some distance. I'm not knocking him, but never feel comfortable with him in central midfield. Why Poch continues picking Carroll is baffling. It's such a crucial position and at the moment we are weak in there. With Dembele injured Pochettino has to pick either Alli, Bentaleb or Mason in beside Dier. If he feels he can't use these players there then he has to go out and buy a midfielder in this transfer window. A point isn't the worst result today, but still feel it's two points dropped. Anyway, COYS...

He is our player, so we must close our eyes and act like retards apparently, ignoring the truth which is he will never be any better than a championship level player at best...
