Result aside, I think that might be some of the best football I've seen played anywhere ever.

Not bad - bit frustrating. Looking forward to seeing vinnie back and Jesus in January. We will be there or there abouts. Atmosphere was a bit flat today - not sure why.
Everton fans quiet too. i suppose thousands getting in 15 mins late due to another fuck up by the club doesn't put people in the best of moods to start with.

Poor performance today. We created very little. And the movements in the final 3rd were labored

Some of the football we played was fantastic, on another day that would be a mauling, if the penalties had gone in we would all be wanking over the performance.
More positives than negatives, loved starting with two out and out young wingers with pace, the future is very bright.

Absolutely right mate.
Koeman also thinks so as to do the vast majority on Grand old Team.

Dominant performance without the final pass/touch. Obviously, you simply cannot fathom missing two penalties from two world class players, but that's why you have to take the kick...it is not automatic! That said, that kind of performance beats 95% of Premier League teams 95% of the time, just not this team today. We move on.
Not expecting anything at all from the Barca game. Players look like they need a break, and we are stretching players to the maximum. Hard to believe KDB played 90 mins today, or that Aguero didn't start if he was fit. Good to see Vinny back on the field. Honestly believe that Komoany and Stones would be a ridiculously strong central pairing. Otamendi does a solid job, but his footwork is not brilliant and he is STILL DIVING IN to too many challenges. That said, no idea why Stones is overcommiting in their half on their break for the goal. Not many people will beat Coichy for pace, but he allowed himself to be pushed back onto the back foot and then Lukaku took advantage to his left, which was the only way he could go.
Liked seeing a back three, knowing they would be going with 1 upfront, and it looked like a master stroke beasts on the dominance on display. Sadly, we couldn't capitalize on ththeat dominance.
Would like to see us hit more shots from the edge of the box. Even if you don't score, you get nicks, corners, create buzz and excitement by getting the other team on thto back foot and forcing them to come out and defend the shot. THEN, later in th game, maybe you have the holes to attack because th defense has to step out. Right now, EVERYONE knows that we want to score the perfect goal, with three or four passes for a tap in.
Best shot of the game almost won it. That KDB shot should be on a loop to show people how to shoot a snap shot and illustrate what a quality player he is. UFB shot and it took an UFB save to keep it out.
MORE IMPORTANTLY...
If we can keep the Top 16 players fit, and rotate a few in and out (60 mins here, 30 mins there for the players who are killing it in the work stats) AND bring a few younger players on, then this squad will gel, it will get world class additions to slot in where needed and in six months, a year, two years, or three, there are no limitations on where this club can go.
I'm disappointed with the result, but ecstatic that in two months we have shown we can compete with the best teams in the world, and the future is BLUE!

Personally thought we were phenomenal and Everton rightly deserved credit for some excellent defending. On another day we'd have won so no panic here.
well done Dax biggest load of bollocks ive seen posted on here for a while.
It's unbelievable mate
