Hafnia Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Exhausted after that. Appallingly bad. gomes and branthwaite superb. McNeil second half was vast improvement. really don't know where our points are coming from - they were awful but we made them look like Real Madrid.

Romey 1878 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Well, that was not pleasant to watch. And I'm not talking about the actual football there because we did actually play some alright stuff at times, but it was only ever in short bursts and never a spell where we keep the pressure on. But when we had those bursts of looking like we wanted to win we made opportunities. We just didn't take those opportunities. Without being great I thought we were the better side and should have won by more than one goal but we made things harder, and more nerve-wracking, than they needed to be. We must improve on maintaining pressure, especially in these games against the sides around us. Newty82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Terrible terrible performance. But somehow we got three points haha. Gomes and Garner can’t play in the middle together, that was awful. Gomes looks tidy on the ball but it allows them way too much possession. Any other team would have dismantled us. Most entertaining part was Beto’s cameo. Was an absolute masterclass in cheering us up. Started with the ball in the face, and just got more entertaining as the minutes went on. I mean the running straight on towards the goal and at the last minute turning to run towards the corner flag fooled everyone. Genius. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I actually needed to sleep when I got home. I was physically exhausted - nerves were fine before game I think... went gym etc. At half time I realised I was sitting in a state of pure footy nerves. 80 minutes on I was just swearing a lot. Sat on roasting hot overcrowded train and needed my bed. can't we enjoy a stress free game? It truly is exhausting Sev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how I'm still going. I feel for those that go to the away games as well with all that travelling on top of everything. I very rarely stay out after a game because I'm just knackered. It honestly takes everything to give them the support they need. I long for the return of them getting us going again and not just providing crippling stress.

Romey 1878 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Everton have ended a run of 13 Premier League games without a win (D6 L7) with their first victory in the competition since beating Burnley 2-0 in December 2023. Burnley are without a win in their past seven away league games (D2 L5), with the Clarets conceding the opening goal in six of those games. Burnley have now lost 21 of their 32 Premier League games this season (W4 D7), only losing more times in a top-flight season in 2009-10 (24 games), 1975-76 (23 games) and 1970-71 (22 games). After a run of 18 Premier League games without a goal, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored in successive games for Everton in the competition for the first time since September. Burnley’s seven red cards this season is the most by a single side in a Premier League season since Aston Villa and Newcastle in 2014-15 (both seven red cards).

Hafnia Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 I came away from the game concerned and I'll explain why. we have tougher games coming up that will rely on us having some ability to put passes together. We were against 10 men of a poor side and looked the worse team. we need Onana to be the best version of himself and gana winning us the ball back. Play Gomes in there with them and put garner right mid. doucoure looks like a league one player.... a couple of times he panicked on the ball and just kicked it back towards our goal and fortunately one of our players got there first. Whatever he offered - he doesn't anymore Deacs and Shukes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every manager has personal thoughts on it I guess, players always came under their own steam when Moyes was in charge; think the close interaction that gave them with the fans was probably beneficial, but can also see the argument for them arriving together.

Hafnia Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Anyone notice motd say "not the best game for var but we will gloss over that" seems that the epl and pgmol don't want it highlighting for the likes of us. Garner penalty - couldn't see it from where I was. The linesman was getting some serious shit from main stand and park end first half. Oliver shouldn't ref us.

Exactly the same as Dom's against Bournemouth that wasn't given, and the Garnacho one that was given against us. Apparently there was one just like given in another game yesterday but I didn't see it and can't recall what game it was.

I am adamant we only got the penalty against Newcastle because Ashley Young carried on about it & made a scene. It’s an absolute shambles the VAR process, you’ll only get a decision like that if you milk it - which is everything that’s wrong with football.

Romey 1878 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I'm fuming about the non-penalty on Garner even more after seeing the penalty that the shite got yesterday. Fucking hell, Elliot got a penalty for standing on the United player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoof_It_Nev Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I know it should be irrelevant but I imagine if we'd have drawn/lost the game then you would have heard a lot more uproar about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
