Pedro has the worst touch of anyone on the pitch, hard to believe he came from Barcelona.

Gonzovision

Hope Zouma is tied down to a long term contract.....

Essien

The more I see him play for us the more I believe the hype about Peps managerial abilities.

Killinator

Zero creativity, turgid stuff, hard to believe we'd 2 holding midfielderd in that half given the ease at which Everton have strolled through the middle.
And how can RLC not get game time when you could take Cesc out and not realise he was missing is baffling!

hots

That was absolute dogsht. Matic and Pedro off for the young lads.

kev1.3s

There's no point bringing young fellas into that, they need to be brought in to games where they can gain a bit of confidence.
How in hell could that gain anything out of that?
No passion desire or effort, aside from terry and zouma.

Essien

Well that was comical...

hots

Ivanovic completely at fault for that goal, just a roundabout.

Gonzovision

What the hell is Matic at there....

hots

Mikel that time. So poor at the back!

Killinator

Yep, good thing we sacked Jose, he was clearly the problem!
At least the youths would show some desire and heart.

kev1.3s

Just poor really!

Garzorico

Jaysis. This team are a joke. Whatever problems were there when Jose left appear to be still there.

JT should be put out to grass by the sounds of it.

kev1.3s

Courtois hasn't covered himself in glory either these last two games.

kev1.3s

yess Costa!

Killinator

Man Costa, a bit of desire finally!!!

kev1.3s

Back on

Killinator

YES!
5 minutes of effort and look what can be achieved!

LightningBlue

Matic goes off... we score 2 goals.

He has been poison this year.

hots

Get in! The 2 players who have benefited from Guus.

Duck Soup

Costa looks proper crocked.

kev1.3s

Yep that doesn't look good.

LightningBlue

Ivanovic asleep again FFS

Killinator

They watched the bloody players run past them after the ball was played and then stood still looking for offside

davycc

come on everton , blow the whistle ref already

Duck Soup

JT!

Killinator

J FU*KING T!!!!!!!

davycc

god damn it- JT captain.leader.racist gets his 2nd of the day

Duck Soup

Is John Terry the new Gianfranco Zola?

Essien

Delighted for Terry.

In a team full of players with loads of talent and no interest, he genuinely wants to win but clearly isn't up to it anymore.

As if it needs to be said, I've long since retracted any criticisms I had of him earlier in the season.

B17G

Simply too many errors by officials. Should have been offside. Video replays can't come soon enough. (not an everton fan).

hots

Jesus it doesn't do the blood pressure any good!

shrewd

Wow, sometimes you need good fortune and luck on your side.

Fantastic game

Duck Soup

Whatever the shortcomings - which are obviously still there - it was good to see a team with fire in its belly that refused to be beaten.

Only thing is, how long is Costa out for?

Essien

I too enjoyed that 5 minute spell

peteeeed

Pity Costa got injured he was starting to eat the Everton centre backs , great for JT

Killinator

I hate how we waited till 0-2 down to show some spirit, but at least a few stepped up when needed.
Wouldn't have said it earlier in the season but hopefully Diego won't be out long.

peteeeed

Matic may have played his last game of the season

cowboyBuilder

Another valuable point in the fight against relegation!

can't agree enough but I'll take that because if all the decisions for us were awarded this past year Jose would still be in a job.

davycc is not around to reply, so everyone please move on. Thanks.

Anyone for Jose Mk 3? This time with an axe to chop away the deadwood.

^^this, and it's a shame it's a joke.

Kind of actually not a joke.

No major change in 7 games. What's that, 2 wins and 5 draws? Unbeaten in 7 my eye. We're still shipping more points than we're winning. It's so obviously not Guus's fault (no more than it was Jose's). The problem is still with the players, and the club's epic fail in the transfer market last summer.

PS: It's 2 wins and 4 draws in the EPL, which is 10/18 points.

kev1.3s

Why was Hazard sitting with the wag's and not the rest of the squad?
Anyone who has taken the stadium tour will know that all squad players who are not in the match day squad are expected to sit in the dug out behind the subs.
Anyway some things to take from today,
Matic is nowhere near the same player as last season,
Cech > Courtois and should never have been let leave the club,
Kenedy > Pedro,
Cesc is better playing deeper than no.10 and Mikel's good game was a fluke.

duploelabs

Jt is now the leading goalscorer for a defender

Agree for the most part. I actually thought mikel has been serviceable tbh, better than matic. And the cech one I definitely don't see, important to remember just how bad this defence is!

I'm a little conflicted on Mikel but Cech is definitely the more accomplished keeper in my opinion, I was never happy with getting rid of Cech but understood the situation.
Do you not think Cech's experience and commanding of his area would be a benefit to our shaky defence?
