Crap second half and that VAR decision could’ve gone either way IMO

 

[SirScholes]

Everton away is always a tricky fixture even more so with this current squad
A lot of the posters so far need to remember where we are at, this is a point gained

 

[Godfather]

fecking shit second half

 

[big rons sovereign]

A tough result against a team of arseholes and a gutless referee. We'll not make top 4.

 

[onemanarmy]

No one past a 6 rating today except Bruno. Everyone else is 5s and 4s. And that's being generous.

Shaw was good, as was Matic.

 

[JakeTheRed]

Karma for Everton getting that goal at Old Trafford when Calvert Lewin pushed De Gea in the face. Dirty scouse pr*cks.

 

[Nou_Camp99]

Wan Bissaka has never been a footballer. Gets so much room and time and does feck all. Shaw no better either. Wish we had the two lads at Liverpool. We'd be a hell of a team if we had.

 

[Fts 74]

Not a bad pt all things considered

 

[90 + 5min]

Good game. Dominant in first. Everton better in second. Normal because of tough game and us playing thursday.

I wonder what is problem with TheFA and referees. Are they trying to be this bad every time and every year? A good game with one little incident and you get 7 Cards.

 

[baskinginthesun]

Great 1st half, shite 2nd half. Completely different team in the 2nd not really sure what happened to the enthusiasm and drive that we had in the 1st.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Two points dropped. We are the draw specialists. Can never capitalise when Chelsea & Leicester drop points.

Running out of games. We need to start picking up 3 points, especially when our top 4 rivals drop points.

 

[Snafu17]

The extra minutes we played over the week showed in the last half hour.

Can't way to see Everton bring that same energy and shithousing when they play Liverpool.

 

[r3idy]

Grander scheme of things today, will take the draw. Gave away far too many corners, Martial blew a bit cold and games like this we are really missing Rashford.

 

[Freak]

We still aren’t very good to be honest. Player 4 midfielders but we had no control in the second half.

 

[Run_time_error]

Can't wait for Bailly to be fit enough for consecutive games - Lindelof is just dominated every time. But what the actual fk were they doing with that free kick. Bruno was a little slack in the second half but what a player he's going to be for us. Matic was slightly m.o.m for me but good from Shaw, Fred, McT and Ighalo did well, should have been on a bit earlier.

 

[Crimson King]

We didn't deserve to win in the end and probably a fair result, but I feel so disappointed after that second half. We came out and didn't match their motivation at all, and completely lost our focus. Did somebody give Fred some bad news at half time or something? He was abysmal second half.

Very frustrating, and it's the inability to keep up a good performance the whole match or to make changes that swing things back in our favour which mean Ole will need to be replaced by a better coach, sooner or later.

 

[Wumminator]

Thought that was fine for a game at Goodison. Awful from DDG, Ighalo very close.

 

[Zen86]

Always been a tough ground for us. It was always going to be a difficult match, what’s basically an own goal inside the first few mins didn’t help.

 

[2 man midfield]

Nothing new. De gea costing us champions league football two years in a row now. But hey he made me that one save in the end so I guess we should be grateful or something.

I mean, we probably should be yeah. Without it we'd lose 2-1.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Good first half. Not great in the second half.

Could have nicked it there at the end.

Bruno looked really good.

Martial i thought was poor. He has better ability than Calvert Lewin and yet watching the match you would say Calvert Lewin played better.

Nah, Calvert Lewin has the better all round game as a striker

 

[bosnian_red]

I'll take a draw, wouldve taken one before the game. Always a hard as feck game away to them, we played excellently in the first half, they were being thugs but they were more aggressive in the second half and showed more desire and took control (without creating anything). Ref wasn't helping. Could've nicked it a few times on the break, draw right on the balance of play.

De Gea terrible on their goal. Showed his best at the end though to save us. Bruno just a brilliant player.

 

[Schmeichel=God]

A ship without a captain in that second half. Unreal. Utterly dominated out of the game. The majority of that Everton performance in that final 45 was akin to what we used to do to teams in the last 5 minutes when chasing a game. Their energy and commitment to shutting us down was unbelievable.

 

[Amadaeus]

We were lucky. Var saved us. De Gea wasn’t obstructed by Sigurddson, nor was his line of sight obstructed. De Gea action was more obstructed by the deflection than it was by Sigurdsson.

Regardless, good first half, shite second half. VAR > own goal it seems

 

[billybee99]

Forget about the stupid goal, how many times did they put a cross into the 6 yard box and DDG is just rooted to his line. It's pathetic.

 

[meamth]

Entertainment, pure entertainment.

Loved that, happy with a point. We can go on, push harder until the end.

 

[King7Eric]

No doubt there will be a lot of hyperbole about us dropping points again but I think it's a decent enough result. The players looked absolutely knackered in the last 20 mins and Everton were really up for it today, so I'll take this point and move on.

 

[Dargonk]

Such a poor performance in the second half. We were really good in the first half after a shaky first 5-10minutes. What is so frustrating as well, is you can see we need to make changes as players are tired. But looking at our bench, there isn't anyone there that you think great bring this guy on and he will change the game. We just have no depth at all.

 

[Maluco]

Defending really well, and showing more resilience. Good to see Lindelof and Maguire playing so well. I think even de Gea redeemed himself after the mistake.
Some extremely worrying signs though...

- AWB looked the least talented footballer on the pitch
- Martial and Greenwood showing no movement or desire
- The dip in second half performances is a reality and needs to be examined.
- Nothing to come off the bench at all, which is a massive issue, which probably contributes to the above.
- And the worst one, passing under pressure. We couldn’t keep the ball for even one decent spell of possession in the whole of the second half. Lots of panicking and poor choices. This needs to be coached as a priority.

 

[Siorac]

I wish Everton got relegated. I know they won't this season, obviously, but I wouldn't miss the cnuts. Just once I'd like to see them play with this energy against Liverpool instead of meekly rolling over.

Our second half was abysmal, we completely fell apart. So many sloppy passes from the midfielders, it was a bit bewildering after the promising first half.

 

[Jazz]

Honestly, playing Everton away has never been easy even in the best of times. We could have easily lost this so I'm taking the draw and moving on.

 

[Jacko21]

I was more frustrated by the referee than anything.

Good point all things considered.

 

[arthurka]

I hate Ole's in game management. This second half was probably the worst half I remember. DDG needs to be removed.

 

[Feed Me]

Why did we completely stop in the second half? Did Ole do anything at half time or just smile?

 

[MonkeysMagic]

The absolute nothingness of Ole's tactics and stewardship laid bare for everyone to see that sec half. If that is progress then I am truly depressed for the future of this team.

 

[RyRy11]

Frustrating to lose control of the game in the second half, we look tired. Everton look really good under Ancelotti mind, the best team we’ve play other than City and Pool this season. Calvert-Lewin looks like a proper player doesn’t he?

 

[vodrake]

Ancelotti sussed out our tactics by half time and we had no idea how to adapt after that

 

[L1nk]

Correct me if im wrong, but if its deflected off your own player, then offside is basically a non factor is it not? I'm sure that has always been the rule?

 

[Cnaiür urs Skiötha]

Not good enough.

 

[Heardy]

Really hate the whole “a good point” or worse “would take a point” before the game. This lack of ambition is crippling us.

we have to start taking advantage of results like Chelsea’s and Spurs’ if we’ve got true ambitions of top 4.

 

[caid]

Didn't show up in the 2nd half and were probably lucky to get a draw at the end. I don't like the 442 diamond as a formation and this match is a pretty good example of why.
Defending corners was good for a change which is positive
