Everton (A) Post Match Thread

I know what you mean but sometimes its not as simple as that, battling qualities are as important as cantering over the opposition and I think we have that in our armoury.

I agree it’s not normally as simple as that... but this team ain’t normal, and I honestly think we would have just stepped up a gear

It’s like earlier in the season when stoke scored 2 goals out of nothing and Hughes said it was like poking a bees nest, we suddenly went up a notch and banged in 4 goals

Today it truly looked like we could have scored whenever we wanted in that second half, but they simply managed the game. Let the ball do all the work which meant we saved loads of energy and we avoided tackling and the potential for injuries

It was fascinating to watch and it takes a special team to carry that off in the way ours did

Can't fault you, just hope we don't have the off night of all off nights against the Dippers, really want this "special team" to progress and get what we deserve.

I do believe we have just overtaken Man City to number one spot in the all time PL possession stats for a single game.

About time.

There’s now no team in the league that we haven’t beat this season :)

Beautiful.

Amazing, absolutely beautiful goals. Slick professional display, but a few lapses in concentration probably due to a few tactical/positional changes.
I am seeing the city I’ve always wanted to see after 42 years!!! We are truly blessed to be watching these artists at work for our team.
Now to beat Victimpool and then secure the title against the rags. If Carlsberg did title run ins!!!!

First half perfection

second half foot off and controlled

What a beautiful sight.

We were utterly magnificent in that first half. The movement was exceptional at times. The team shape was fascinating.

Interesting wasn't it - a few of us wondered if it'd be 433 or 532 before the game and it was something totally different once we started. 3421?

David Silva is the best player I've ever seen. He is an outright genius

Agree completely.

It’s a two horse race now!
