Definatly, I thought we might have been in the bottom three tonight.

We are now almost 2/1 to go down. This morning we where close to evens. 

Yep we definitely need it too with United away next, a point from that game would be massive

Couldn't have asked for more regarding the results tonight. Great for us.

Had jagielka Vs the shite vibes from that goal.

He could hit that 100 times and 99 times he wouldn't even hit the target. Well done to him though, such an important goal but spurs were absolutely awful after we went down a man.

Doucoure.

Once again player brain farts have totally killed us tonight.

Yeah I still can't get over Gueye deciding to have a shot in the first half instead of passing it to someone with feet.

Let’s get this right, the contact was minimal, absolutely minimal Kane should be embarrassed by that. The commentators protecting the England captain, disgusting 

The amount of contact doesn't really matter, enough to get a red. All on Doucoure that, absolutely unforgivable.

4th highest according to my research - behind Simeone, Guardiola and Klopp.

That's crazy, didn't expect that.

I think that's harsh.

Fuck me when did everybody become so pedantic on this forum.

Of all the fucking times to do that. Unbelievable, was becoming a fan favourite and ruins it for absolutely fucking nothing. Shit like that you can understand Lampards point of view  It's actually unbelievable.

As expected, Dyche seems to have found the players he trusts and is sticking to it.

As for the cost of new managers and staff, surly we've come to the point in time in the Premier League where this should be factored into the budget. The average tenure of a manager in 2012 was 4 years, now it's about 2 years which is absolutely bonkers.

And I can't believe Potter was one of the highest paid managers in the world, surly not.

Goals scored is laughable (considering the chances they create).

Whenever I've watched them play they've created a lot of chances but failed to score, but that's a small sample size as I've only watched maybe 5 of their games all season. Their xG at around 36 reflects this against the 29 they've scored.

Interestingly enough the only team with a bigger xG deficit to us (+10.4) is WHU with +10.8. this indicates how much we need a couple of goalscorers in our team, not that it's not obvious already.

Apparently there's news of a takeover too. Something about sanctions against Russia and against the current owner Roman Abramovic himself?

That's potter gone too

Is DCL fit for this one do we know? I'm too lazy to find out for myself.

I stand corrected.

The Wolves equaliser is huge for all the teams involved in the relegation battle, and it keeps more teams with in just 2 points of us a win on Monday and we hit the dizzy heights of 13th, a great incentive for the players to go and beat Spurs. 

Yeah it's a strange one, we briefly dropped into a relegation spot today, and if we win tomorrow we go up to 12th. Unbelievably tight.

• Everton have won just one of their past 20 Premier League games against Tottenham, 1-0 away from home in September 2020.

• Spurs have kept more Premier League clean sheets against Everton than any other opponent (24), including the past three meetings.

• The Toffees have won three of their four league games at Goodison Park under Sean Dyche, more than in their first 10 of the season under Frank Lampard. Those three victories under Dyche have all been 1-0 - as have seven of the past nine of Everton's home league wins.

• Tottenham have scored a league-high 14 headed goals this season, last netting more in 1999-00 (16). Nine of these have been scored by Harry Kane, with no player ever scoring 10 headers in a season in the competition.

Wonder how close Dunc or Cahill got to 10 headed goals in a season.

West ham have 9 games in 27 days in April

Really full of praise in this. Will do the players a world of confidence hearing that.

Maybe William too?

The palace goal tonight stood with VAR. Very strange, because I didnt see much difference from the Grey goal ruled out

He’s doing want Lampard failed to do with the resources he has available, I’m pleased and think we will get more attractive to watch with a few additions in the summer, I’m becoming more confident we will do enough to stay up.

I think it's what we need too. No more managers coming in and spending money to play possession based football. If we can dominant teams physically, and keep creating changes through direct play, we can build possession into the philosophy in time.

Easier said than done, but just don't lose games. Under Moyes we were great at that, it gave us identity and consistency, something we have lacked in a long time.

I hope recruitment in the summer isn't fancy, but we bring in effective players who suit the system. All of a sudden, I don't feel as negative about the quality of the squad as I did under Lampard. we need reinforcements, no doubt, but maybe an overhaul isn't as necessary as I once thought.
