He impressed me last night, about the only Everton thing that did!
Most importantly he seemed to be in a good place mentally (if it’s possible to tell on TV of course)
Bad game from him last night, aside from the pass to Palmer, his reluctance to catch shots cost us goals after he palmed back into play in dangerous areas.
Two points from me on Saturday.
1 we needed the win, achieved any way we could, it was ugly, a boring first 45, we got it. Job Done
2 Dyche post match remarks, sarcasm by any chance?
On a positive note, we have a game in hand over Palace, Brentford, Forrest, Luton and Burnley, technically is against the Shite, mentally we need to make it apply to any other game ( bar Arsenal)
And next season they are looking at dropping the points deduction penalties, it’s just a complete cluster fuck, how the PL think they can maintain any integrity is beyond me.
I’d rather Gomes came on for last 30 mins, he’s too slow to play the full game, putting us at risk, he’s much better in the last 30 mins as we saw on Tuesday.
The momentum was with us once we scored, a win would have been wonderful, but the point is more than most would have expected before kick off and even at the start of the season.
Totally agree, he was all over Branthwaite on every free kick or corner, looked like a fucking windmill in a gale, how its not picked up by officials is amazing.
Outstanding MOTM performance, and what impressed me most was that he kept his head whilst being jeered at all night, something he’s fallen foul of previously. He does seem happy here so as long as we maintain PL status I can see him staying for long time to come.
