Everton Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[carpediem991]

We are lucky so far. We have to do better with the ball....again

 

[theShiznit]

Ade just seems so slow to decide what to do with the ball that by the time he's done it, he no longer has the ball anyway...
His decisions seem backwards too, he holds it when there is a fast break on and lays it 1st time when the pass is not on. Very frustrating!

So when is Benny set to return again?

Next weekend, hopefully.

we look so so exposed on the left hand side ...... Need to really shut up Coleman, he is showing us up. I had this down as a loss, as Everton are always up for this. Ade looks lost ...... CoYS.

 

[dbspurs]

It's definitely Kevin Friend

 

[Wsussexspur]

Jans having a poor game. Hopefully BAE will back in next couple of weeks and we can give Vertonghen a rest for a couple of weeks.

BBC says Mason, radio says Friend.

There is no way Lee Mason is on the pitch, they look completely different. Definitely Kevin Friend

 

[DFF]

No wonder Everton's thought of as a tough place to go. The crowd basically run the game.

from a neutral:

MOTD's Steve Bower at Goodison Park:HALF-TIME - Everton 0-0 Spurs
"Everton and Tottenham have gone toe-to-toe and there is not a great deal to choose between them. In terms of clear-cut chances, there have been few and far between."

Not to bad so far,holding our own.we could nick it yet.

 

[elDiablo]

not a bad game. we are just lacking that bit of class in the final third. sandro has been everywhere - really living up to the pre-match billing. Defoe and Ade have to come deep to get the ball as the Everton defence are working really hard to snuff them out. I think a bit of magic from lennon or dempsey drifting infield, or dembele driving forward is where we may see something happen.

A few wobbly moments where our high line was exposed, but apart from that, thought defensively it's looked one of our better performances so far this season against a really good team.

BBC says Mason, radio says Friend.

Its friend

 

[TheAmerican]

We just needed the half really, the momentum shifted when Fellaini got away with his hold and our frustration took control.

 

[SpurSince57]

We look terrible yet again

Just as well we aren't 4-0 down. Your vocabulary might be under some strain.

 

[AW?]

Pretty much the way I thought this game would be so far. I can see us sneaking a late winner. Let's hope so.

 

[DiamondLites]

Ade is in one of his 'not too bothered as long as I look cool' moods, as someone just said so slow to decide what to do, that's if he has managed to control the ball

 

[CosmicHotspur]

BBC says Mason, radio says Friend.

Friend? Not to us if so.

 

[theShiznit]

Those saying we've looked terrible?

We dominated possession (by a lot) for large spells of the half, and the tide only really turned on some wrongly perceived injustice that fired the crowd up which in turn fired the players up.

 

[Hotspur_Hero]

I'm a big fan of Ade normally, but he has been terrible. He is utterly failing at holding the ball up, coming back and defending, or pressing the defense. Don't think I have ever seen him look this disinterested. Get him off for townsend, falque, or siggy and move demps into the middle. Clint might be a better player coming in from the left, but defending isn't his thing and Moyes knows it. We are getting slaughtered down the left.

 

[Pete Spur]

well we rode our luck there

we had a good amount of possession but created next to nothing with it

we need to get more direct in the final 3rd instead of fing around with the ball

Ade needs to get it the fuck together
