Can blame Jose all you want but the reality is that about 8/9 players in our starting XI are bang average or worse.

See no reason to expect us to finish anywhere near top 4.

Jose plays those players over the more talented players that sit on the bench.

The wetting of knickers here suggests it's a one-game season, rather than 38.

No it doesn't, it suggests we're watching an abject performance from a team that look knackered, clueless, and entirely unfussed about their first game of the season.

I don't remember that affecting his previous teams all that much. If they win matches they will be happy but that's down to them.

You dont remember Chelsea and Man U going through the motions?

Ndombele's football philosophy: pass and don't move.

F*** getting a striker, get a bloody good creative midfielder, what good would another striker be, we can't service the one we have.

completely agree. It is Central Midfield that we are absolutely woeful.

At least we have plenty of games to try and get these players playing like a team...... ?

This is about as depressing a game as I can remember in a long while. Optimism for the season shattered.

Depends on your expectations. I didn’t expect anything this season and I’m not surprised by this performance. I think some convinced themselves we would be decent this year. When’s the last time we started a season this badly at home? That’s not rhetorical btw, I genuinely can’t remember.

We’re as good as the players want to be, which isn’t much by the evidence of this shit.

Insipid is the only way to describe this performance. No intensity at all.

We can't be losing home games, let alone be run about the pitch at home with little threat to the oppositions goal.

Done by a set piece too

We literally have nothing in the way of creativity nothing has been learnt from the previous season sad but not surprised.

The only time I’ve longed for another lock down and cancellation of football.

I think the issue is that it's the same shite as last year, something we've seen across twenty or more games rather than simply it being the first game of the season.

There doesn't look like there's a plan, it seems clueless.

Already said before the game a draw would be a good result & now we’re not even getting that, Everton will be a lot stronger this season.

No doubting though we’ve made them look good this game, shocking from us & worrying going forward.

Ndombele , lol , looked lively for 5 mins now looks like he has less in the tank than Lucas if only he had real fitness he’d be such a player for us so depressing
