Originally posted by Eaglecoops A game where we were poor at the start but have grown into the game. Mateta looks good, Guehi excellent, as was Henderson, a few nice touches from Franca but not enough from Eze and Schlupp but we know Eze can produce something out of nothing. Everton lively generally and looked good for first 25 minutes. We need to stop Danjuma and Coleman is getting too much space, but Schlupp is marking space rather than players running through. All in all, not bad but we are not exposing how slow Everton are at the back. It’s the sort of game Zaha would have had a field day.

Agreed, not a bad half. Franca looks good dribbling but seems to make some overly ambitious decisions. Eze needs to see more of the ball and I've been impressed with how well Mateta is doing against their defense. Negatives though have been seeing Danjuma fly past Clyne on repeat Onana and Garner are getting a little too much time on the ball so they can pick easy passes out wide which are causing trouble when they come back in. Would like to see Schlupp staying wider, if Eze is going to be 2v1 in the middle all the time then we need to make the most of the space that is available elsewhere.

It looks as though, with their press, they are leaving gaps elsewhere but we are struggling to exploit that. I'm hoping for the best possible RH second half - we go out, get a goal or two, then shut up shop to see the game out. We have to step it up in any instance. COYP Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

How many times have we just passed the ball straight out of play FFS? Not rocket science is it. Needed to get that out of my system. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Not sure what match others are watching. We’ve been dross so far. No creativity and no idea. Pass it backwards Palace.

Not sure we have managed a forward pass this second half. Lets hope the subs improve us.

Oh do stop whinging....... at least the subs have been made 10 mins earlier than usual. A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers
