Im on the side of the it wasnt that bad crew. We were on top when they hit us on the break, but they had us from there. That is concerning.

We were playing a well drilled Everton side with some excellent players on show. However, I am also puzzled by Roy's substitutions and the fact we sit back and don't create/ take our chances. Football is a very simple game ... you just put the ball in the back of the net more times than the opposition to win.

I'm likening RH to a chef who has to make a simple, humble dish and yet gets it wrong. He has the ingredients before him yet uses them in the wrong proportions and then overbakes them...

Anytime I hear a fan say that Meyer should be starting or that we are a better player with Meyer on the pitch then I just have to laugh. . Meyer has been nothing short of awful for us and if he hadn’t of come with a big name and reputation then he would be ridiculed. He is a bang average football player who I would happily never see on a pitch for us again. Meyer is everything that is wrong the club, signed in a fanfare of being a wonder signing, therefore raising expectations of fans. He has been a disaster, I don't think he has one good game, where he has dominated the midfield. The occasional good pass, but that's it, for £100k a week, we have a right to expect more.

He's certainly a chef completely incapable of doing anything other than following the one recipe that his grandma taught him.

Yesterday's game somewhat encapsulated our problems.Yes we did have a good spell after we equalised but, it was only a spell. That has been the case most of the season with us regularly serving up some pretty mediocre fayre with just a few bright spots in between.However, if we don't score in those good patches we are in trouble. What is slightly mystifying is that our line-up now is very similar to what it was this time last season and yet we are performing poorly compared to then. Our away form in particular was very impressive in the 2nd half of the season last year and made up for our home deficiences. Worringly, at the moment, our away results are not compensating for our home woes.

I think that there is a split these days with us fans. There is the Roy out bunch who will look for negative’s and faults at every opportunity then there are the Pro Roy group who are looking at the glass half full side of things. I can’t see this war ending anytime soon.
