They lost to Arsenal after leading twice. Of course they're terrible. Just goes to show how low our standards have dropped.

We played tired in the 2nd half. I wonder how many players are in the orange and red zones in terms of minutes.
Good first half, gash second half.
Why is everyone talking about top 4? Are we all assuming City's ban won't stand?
We'll be 7th next week.
I suppose you think we should win every game. Look at this way, we closed the gap on Liv this weekend.
"The defence is fine, look how good Maguire was"
And the 3 other clowns? I swear people here become fans of one player and get blinded to what's actually going on. Our defence is a nightmare despite over 100m spent
3 other clowns? You mean... Lindelof maybe was poor, but AWB and Shaw were largely solid today. Apart from a fluke goal, we put on a defensive masterclass.
Yes but you would still see him on the floor. If you stood up wherever you are now and looked straight ahead, you would still see parts of the ground let alone a 6 foot tall blonde Icelandic man and if you don’t I’d seek medical care immediately.
If Sigurdsson was the other side of Degea or further to the right then it would have been allowed.
I thought Lindelof had a good game?
You could bet anything they won't.
Raise their game against us but lie down and take a walloping against that other lot.
Today should have been a banker especially considering Everton have been shit and having watched Chelsea drop points, so that we can allow for blips like when we lose to City next weekend.
"A bit"? It felt like utter domination. All those corners and the repeated inability to even exit our half successfully.
A fair result I suppose. A weird one though! It feels like I've watched two different opposition teams today with how different those two halves were; and given Everton's intensity through to the final whistle you'd think they had a fresh 11 for the second half.
Brilliant first half. Not so good 2nd half.
But what if you felt you had to take two steps forward before booting the ball ip the other end. Can’t do it. Interfering with play all day long!
Wolves will get 4th
Of course he is
Martial and Greenwood were basically operating from either flank. If we had a proper CF we would have won that game.
And I think it’s a good point earned. We would have lost the game if this was somewhere in Nov-Dec. Our fixture ease up a bit after Spurs game, so it’s really upto us to grab that 4th place.

We had a great reaction after De Gea's mistake, we took control of the midfield and dominated the first half. Don't understand why we capitulated in the 2nd though, we played as if we were defending a lead. A draw is a good result at Goodison, also a fair result.
I think we were lucky that VAR abolished the goal, don't feel Sigurdsson obstructed De Gea's view, nor change the decisions he took. Even if he wasn't where he was it would have resulted in a goal.

The player on the ground was clearly a distraction. Could’ve gone either way though. New castle at home a couple of years back; player was down and offside directly in front of Dave and ref allowed the goal. Weird.
AWB needs a rest. When Ole going to recognize that?
Martial and Greenwood were anonymous.
Bruno, Fred and Matic where good in first half. Second half was equally poor by them. Bruno at least was better.
Ref was horrible. And thank god to VAR....again.

We could've closed the gap but it ends in disappointment. Now we have even more difficult games coming up so I hope we win those.
That's a very fortunate decision at the end, because with or without the chap on the floor that was going to be a goal. Really it's Sigurdsson's fault for not getting up and out the way, made it just plausible enough.
I guess playing Brugge affected the players, at least since we used our full strength XI . Why they kept on running in the game is beyond me...
At least we can rest some players against Derby.
There's a section who are very disappointed Everton's offside goal wasn't upheld, you have to feel for them but don't worry they'll go away again the next time we win.
A point today is an excellent result. They’ve largely improved under a world class manager. We’ve ended Everton’s hopes of overtaking us, moved a point clear of Spurs, matched Chelsea.
Bigger picture.
Not too happy with the game but also not mad. Mixed feelings, Everton was really physical and played good, we were dead after 60 minutes. First 60 we were good.
Bruno again with some magic touches beside his goal which was a bit of a gift from Pickford. He has some weaknesses in his game like losing the ball in positions he shouldn't sometimes, but the difference between him and Lingard/Pereira, wow.

I thought they all had a solid game, Lindelof if i had to pick one was the weak link, slightly ran ragged. I fail to understand who the 3 clowns were when we’ve just put a defensive masterclass on.
I was so excited for this and disappointed I wasn't going to be able to watch it, but seems like it might have been a bit of a dodged bullet, again. You'd have thought I'd have learned recently not to get my hopes up for this team.
Other than the goal, I did enjoy misreading their first sub's name as Vagina though.

Looking at the even bigger picture we have City next weekend. Just hope we don't fall too far behind.
Agreed, it was the attackers/Fred who were poor.
Mad error from De Gea, but came into the game and Bruno makes such a difference.
Average second half, with just the one real superb chance late on, but I dare say most of us would have taken a draw. And getting away with that last min shenanigans only adds to that!

Rubbish. Irrational is right.
Phew! Got away with one there. We got battered in the last quarter of that game! They played even better than last season's 4 nil. Everton are looking real good under Ancelotti. Calvert-Lewin looks a different player. We escaped with a draw though, whereas last season we lose that easily. Disappointing, but could have been worse. Recover and go again...
Ole's lack of proactive-ness is so frustrating at times. He watches the dreadful performance for 25-30 mins and then wakes up leaving little time for new players to settle in.
Agreed totally.
Mostly agree.
Bruno looktired to me second half, kept overrunning the ball and was a tad less composed. What a player though. Will be great for us.
Bit harsh on De Gea, I think. For each mistake he pays back with saves that many keepers wouldn’t make.
I’m also peeved that we can’t get a few more results just when we’re right on the cusp of 4th - always seem to drop points then. On the plus side, we’re back in the mix for top four after being 8th / 9th not so long ago.
I was really impressed with Evertons corners. Every one was put into the right area. Too many teams now play pointless short corners or hit the first man. If it wasn't for Maguires excellent defending we would have lost today.
I know what you mean but Everton will likely ease off against other teams. They always seem extra up for it against us. They were winning second balls like demons 2nd half. Maybe we should have matched them.
We do, and Spurs are at Burnley, a very tough place to go and Chelsea play Everton.
Remember, its top 4 not a title challenge, teams drop points every week and we’re playing quite well at the moment.
Bigger picture ain’t so bad.
He was OK today, he faced an Everton barrage in the 2nd half and held his own.
Dalot will play on Thursday no doubt, offering AWB the rest you feel he needs.
