Disappointing result really, Everton are a f**king bore to watch, time wasting after 10 minutes, foul after foul (many not given), looking to nick a goal on the break, and then defend with 10 behind the ball, the longer it went the more I feared the worst, so that was a positive I guess. We were pretty unlucky, Howard 3 good saves, 1 he knew nothing about, at least 1 penalty not given, and how many blocks did they get in ? Dreadful officials as usual, but they were as bad for Everton as they were us (penalty apart).
Don't understand why Delph didn't start, or even get on, he was good with Fernando at Norwich, and it would have allowed Yaya further forward.

3 clear pk. 2 on kun and 1 on Sterling. Yes ref is a human but you don't repeat same mistakes three fucking times.
Joe made a great save early on. A few dodgy moments with Demichelis but Otamendi covered very well. I wouldn't mind seeing Sagna play at centre-back but perhaps Zaba wasn't ready to play two games in 4 days. Hopefully Martín will prove us all wrong again.
Forwards left a bit to be desired but maybe it's the system we're playing. Fernando pretty good, Silva was up for it when he came on and we did create chances but will need to be more clinical.
We dominated the second half but were denied a definite penalty and no doubt the win right at the end. I thought the ref was alright, sometimes quite nice to us but he is either bent or just completely bottled it. So blatant, he slid like an idiot straight into Raheem's legs.
Well despite being cheated I feel pretty happy we're only 3 points off the top. Really hope we can get revenge in the 2nd leg.

Here is a genuine question for most of you.
Would you have brought on Ihenacho? - if so -who would you have subbed?. and what formation would you have employed.?
The only players to be considered for subbing would have to be - Aguero ? - Navas ? - Sterling? - KdB (who was subbed by Silva).
Fernando needed to stay on (had a good game) . Also Pellers would not have subbed yaya. -
Ihenacho will be seeking to leave in the summer - I would guess.
Considering all we was doing in the second half was passing it from one wing to the other and eventually hitting in more often than not crap crosses i didn't see the point in Silva. There was no movement for him to thread a ball through to and no space for him to work. I would of brought Kelechi on for KDB and gone a legitimate 4-4-2 we were playing that way anyway just with nobody in the box.
Exactly this. We had to switch to 4-4-2. Our lack of strikers ( and his lack of trust in kelechi) has been so costly this season.Considering all we was doing in the second half was passing it from one wing to the other and eventually hitting in more often than not crap crosses i didn't see the point in Silva.

God knows why Pellers won't bring Kelichi on....the lad is class and will score or create goals.
Should have been on with at least 20 to go.
Lukaku apart Everton and Norwich are of a similar level, so if he can do it against them he could have easily be good enough to make the difference against a tired defence tonight?!
One positive for me tonight was Fernando. He is consistently doing his job well.

For the last couple of weeks I've been listening to Everton fans on 5 live desperately wanting Tim Howard out of the club because he is, in their eyes, a useless.............
It was a frustrating night as we didn't have the rub of the green. Nothing fell our way tonight. Next time we play them, it will be the opposite.
