Everton

[pboromag]

nope
but just got in and i wondered why he would play a big man up front who i thought was quite dissapointing really when we had won so any on the bounce
when he went of we really started to dominate after about 5 minutes of gayle coming on

Howay Rafa get Gayle on man that Slimani couldn’t trap a bag of cement

should never have changed a winning side
we look lost as we are playing a differnt way from the last few games

Why not, we are safe.

It was an oppotunity to have a look at what he is capable of, especially if we are thinking of selling him permenently.

The game was far from a spectacle from both teams and overall it was a game of footballing stalemate.
However, the game is about putting the ball in the net more than the opposition and Everton managed it, so they get the 3 points just as we did against @rsenal.

The ref was dishonest, we all know that but how many times does it happen and not just to us?
How many times have we got away with decisions like that.
It's generally swings and roundabouts as far as a season goes with ref's.

It can be argued that we deserved a draw. the truth is we got what we deserved because we were sloppy and reliant on hopeful balls as well as over elaborating at times when in good positions down to simply below par passing and movement.
Everton were similar with little to choose.

The game was pretty frustrating from both ends but I suppoise our run had to come to an end. It's not like we're entitled to go to places like Everton and expect to walk away with the points.

Man of the match for us was Paul Dummett.

Next best for us were Diame... Yedlin...Kenedy and Perez even though his end product didn't match his endeavour.
Both teams grafted hard and we can count ourselves unlucky not to get a share of the spoils.

Could we.
Should we.
If.
But.

Lot's of that but.....WE DIDN'T.


We move on to West brom and hope for a better performance and maybe a better result. Fingers crossed.

Agree largely, but the fact is also that we got close to getting something. That also counts for something.

'Deserve' is a strange word in football. I agree we didn't deserve it as we didn't bag our chances. Had we had a penalty we may have done just that. I'm not discouraged at all.
