Considering the team we fielded and how the game panned out it was a positive point. We are sadly rolling out players who are either average at best, or unfortunately past their best and it shows.
But for Ruben Dias yesterday holding it together at the back we'd have conceded at least 4. Savinho and Nunes belong in Everton's team, not ours. Neither will ever be good enough.
We showed some grit, saw out the game when we went down to 10 and the lads certainly grafted. The problem is the top level ability is missing. As for Ricos red card - the nonsensical first yellow he got for arguing over a foul by KDB is what dropped him in the shit. At least he's banned for the derby which isn't a bad thing tbh. Knowing our luck the ban will be rescinded.
