How bad were Everton?
I’m so so disappointed
If we go down it’s our own fault.
Losing so many points while being the better team but to sit back and drop more points.
It’s literally unforgivable.
{Ed025's Note - better in the first half CORKY, but Everton battered you in the second half mate, fair reult i would say..
26 Jan 2026 22:09:08
Take a point away from home to a decent side who are top half. Maybe we saw 2nd half the difference between the quality of the managers. Everton shifted tactically and we struggled to adapt. Still, like I say a good point I would have taken that at the start of the night.
26 Jan 2026 22:10:18
We were mauled in 2nd half totally, So over 90 mins a point was fair and could be our saviour
Forest next Fri week colossal
Lewin played his heart out
Poor from Sebz to be pipped like that for Barry's goal.
26 Jan 2026 22:15:20
I lean towards ED025's summary, although had DCL's attempt gone in then 2 up at half time may have painted a different ending.
Well played boys, dust yourselves down ready for Arsenal at home ???.
26 Jan 2026 22:15:56
Agree Chris, thought until that point he was close to MOM.
26 Jan 2026 22:16:37
Correct Ed, that was a classic "game of two halves". Over the full 90 mins I think we just shaded it as the shots and xG stats show, but still a 3 game advantage over Spam, so on we go MOT.
{Ed025's Note - the DCL chance when he hit the post was pivotal JR, if that goes in you win mate, as it was a draw was fair..
26 Jan 2026 22:22:02
We were never going to control the whole of that game. Moyes made the right decision for Everton at half time with his substitutions and they began to pin us back, counter attacks were going to be our best option but we didn’t get much of those.
We could have done more damage in the first half in my opinion, Calvert Lewin was very unlucky to hit the post with his attempt.
I’m ok with a point at their ground and its point in the right direction.
26 Jan 2026 22:23:12
Spot on Chris. A good point in the end.
26 Jan 2026 22:53:20
Sorry lads but utter BS. We ARE the better team.
As usual sat back and dropped more points while being so negative.
26 Jan 2026 23:07:14
Everton didn't batter us, we sat back like we always do and refused to bring on fresh legs to liven us up.
We could break out because we had an isolated dcl and a tired BA.
Bring on subs earlier like we should have done and Everton would have been penned in.
Tanaka costing us another goal. Time to shop him out for cash money.
27 Jan 2026 00:59:42
Interestingly, Besiktas are rumoured to be looking at Tanaka. If that went through, it could be very helpful to defray some if the costs of signing JSL if that goes ahead.
27 Jan 2026 06:09:09
Couldn’t agree more Mo, it’s Farke all over again.
Get a goal up and then sit back on it, when oh when is he going to realise that we can’t hold a 1-0 lead for an hour.
I know people love Tanaka and Piroe and all that other sentimental lovey dicey but some of these lads simply aren’t good enough at the top level.
I include Farke in that as well, he’s been out managed again tonight.
Every single fan could see that we sat back and left DCL isolated alone up top, Brendan and Anton were out on their feet after an hour.
Another 2 points dropped.
I’m praying these results don’t comeback to haunt us but I genuinely fear they will, and it’s on the manager, his in game management is awful.
27 Jan 2026 06:23:33
I don’t understand the sub thing with him or just sitting looking lost with the look on his face, BA was all over the place causing so many problems he look drained at 65 minutes as did one or two others, don’t get sending on 3 with ten to go, first half was excellent.
27 Jan 2026 08:12:07
We didn't sit back, we were pinned back after half time. The quality and experience of Everton's squad showed in the 2nd half.
Is anyone actually going to give Farke credit for the tactical tweak that saw us so dominant in the first half?
I agree that subs could have been earlier, and would have been of benefit, but as a coach, the first response is to evaluate how the players adapt to the opposition changes, and we were resolute in our defending, and for a long time, seemed to be holding out well!
When tiredness was apparent, that was the time for changes, but he waited too long; but that was the 70th minute, NOT the 46th!
27 Jan 2026 00:53:09
As you say Ed, if DCL had hit the back of the net instead of the post, znd put us 2:0 up at half time it could've been a different outcome. Mind you they rattled our woodwork too and could probably make a similar claim. One final point, the ref was poor for both sides.
27 Jan 2026 14:31:39
Bright I didn’t say we did sit back that comment was for Farke he look lost didn’t know what to do.
As for the first haft it was excellent and I have already said that. ?♂️.
27 Jan 2026 14:34:54
Bright again I didn’t say 46 I said 65 minutes which I think it was but let’s not split hairs I will take 70 my watch could be wrong as was the referees. ??♂️.
27 Jan 2026 17:32:08
I wasn't actually replying to you Whiteman. I just skip past your posts. But hey, if the cap fits, eh?!
27 Jan 2026 17:43:01
Bright it just flows from post to post never mind it fits ?.
