Everton (H) Post Match Thread

Honestly, when the ball is on the ground and he's under any pressure at all he's no better than Joe Hart. He can hit that low drive out of his hands pretty accurately, but beyond that his distribution isn't even average, finding touch more often than a teammate

I wouldn't even rate that low drive too much tbf, there's no arc on it so he needs a completely clear lane to the recipient, nowhere near as dangerous as Eddie's arcing low balls to feet from the ground, they're near impossible to intercept.

Agreed, it's a skill he has that a lot of keepers don't, but he's not especially good at it. He can only hit it if the winger is in just miles of space and even then it's 50/50 at best

Two headed goals, are we becoming a hoofball side?

With both coming from crosses in and around the box?

Definitely.

The clowns were slagging stones and Maguire off at the world cup when Pickford kept booting it back to Croatia too. He's shite.

Glad we got the 3 points but they had some real chances towards the end what could have made it a nervy finish.

Bernardo looked gassed that second half. He’s usually the hardest working player in the team but he struggled to maintain Lookman when he came on and left Walker on his own against him and Digne. They doubled up on him a few times and that’s where the 2 bad misses game from.

Chuffed to see De Bruyne back. Think he was trying to play a few Hollywood passes like last year but they just didn’t come off today. Still very rusty but it’s great to have him back as an option.

Jesus was good today. He needed that performance after the way he’s been playing recently and the few sitters he’s missed. Takes a lot of pressure off Kun if he can push on from today.

Overall a good performance and puts some pressure on the dippers for tomorrow.

Typical Brazilian only scoring on coldest day of the year. Let’s see him do it on a scorching afternoon in Brighton.

Haha, brilliant.
Deserves repeating lol.

Excellent to see Gundogan and Jesus finding form

Result was the important thing but we were way below par. Sloppy touches, poor passes and poor decision making. We looked tired either physically or mentally. Not good for mid December. Thankfully we have players coming back and it’s great to see kev back.

our pressing game has gone to shit

In the freezing rain and wind, after a Champs league game 2 days ago and without 3 of our most important players I think the players deserve a lot of credit.
