Just been watching yesterday's match again, and I have to say Lookman's passing was excellent with pace and spot on, he has to start now over Theo, he is past his prime now with too many missed placed passes.

It will do Walcott good to have a rest too GB. He's played a lot and we may need him in the final games.

14 Jan 2019 21:11:53
You are right mate he looks tired.

15 Jan 2019 09:39:43
I am going to make excuses for Walcot especially as I have been a critic. I am thinking that actually along with tiredness, pressure could be a factor as in reality until we identify a natural RW, Walcot is the one that has to deliver game after game. I justify that by saying Lookman was very good and is two footed but the difference between very good on the RW and immense on the LW was stark. Thereby lies another quandry for Silva (yes I understand the quandry he has as well) , Richarlison is much better on the left than through the centre and the first choice at LW. So do we potter along with excellent LW (Richarlison) and very good RW (Lookman) .

just let them interchange threw the game like most top sides do ducks.

Yes Johny. We need a front man who can work in a fluid front 3/ 4. Much harder to pick up by the opposition.

goodison actually played the part it should yesterday, unfortunate how its not like that every game really, was great to see it back to being angry and intimidating.

14 Jan 2019 14:30:30
I know it should be rocking all the time but it doesn't always work like that unfortunately. I guess if the players continue to show the passion they did second half yesterday it will soon return.

14 Jan 2019 18:17:48
I think the fans got worked up thanks to the referee and sone of the strange decisions he made.

14 Jan 2019 18:21:58
To be fair, I think it was more to do with the ref that got Goodison going.

Just cannot put my finger on how quiet Goodison has gone, even before a game the fans would have a sing, could it be the no smoking ban we’re fans are leaving it late to get in the ground, tongue firmly pushed in cheek.

However be nice to have a designated smoking area somewhere :-)

Currently watching the full match back (recorded) and to be absolutely honest Taylor looks far worse than he did in real time. Some of the decisions were very easy to make (Gomez should not have been on the pitch) , Cook at least two yellows.

Ganas stats.

does his job very very well.

Sounds a bit petty but I notice a pattern with BBC regarding Everton and MotD. Played first yesterday yet on after UTD and even goal of the month. Was half expecting even being shown after Saturday games, but obviously to much of a Michael even for BBC. I tell you for an organisation that is supposed to be neutral they have a habit of being extremely biased on some subjects.

{Ed002's Note - They will have no thoughts on Everton or bias against the.}

r u serious mate as if man u spurs isn't gunna be on before everton Bournemouth haha its comments like that that make us look like bitter cry babies mate.

14 Jan 2019 09:07:30
They will always be before us Dfs mate, far better viewing figures than us.

14 Jan 2019 09:34:22
I can see why it frustrates some people but as GB says it's just the way it is. There are far more important things to worry about than MOTD and the BBC.

14 Jan 2019 09:47:42
You are right BigH mate, you only had to watch SSN yesterdayb4 our match it was all Man U V Spurs, we should be used to that lads.

14 Jan 2019 12:36:02
match of the day running order goes on importance of games/ how good the game is, not who kicks off first ahahaha.

14 Jan 2019 19:44:53
I know that Ed002 and the rest but let me have my moan please, we did win a game of football you know and apparently I am on dry January (so SWIMBO says) .

14 Jan 2019 07:13:24
Gomes doesn't look the same player, half a yard off the pace hence the reasons for the fouls, lucky not to be sent off, on the last performances not worth investing in at the end of the season
Richarlison also looks tired, needs a break on the bench
Bernard doesn't look strong enough.

14 Jan 2019 07:53:00
jesus mate smile we won, i thought bernard was great yesterday, gomes is tired he has played every game when he didn't have a proper pre season he's still top draw mate and i think richarlison just needs to go back to the wing where he is more effective he's a good player but a target man he isnt.

14 Jan 2019 09:51:26
Bernard is a talented little player but he needs to toughen up a bit to cope with this league.

{Ed025's Note - i agree mate..

14 Jan 2019 12:36:48
some people just love a moan don't they jesus, just be happy with the win.

14 Jan 2019 16:39:18
Gomez and Bernard was always going to hit a point of burn out Gomez didn’t play much football when he joined and Bernard had no pre season at all, they would never off had the fixture pile up like this in there careers before. Bernard does get pushed off ball to easily but he is clever and will learn how to shield the ball better in time, did anyone see how he plucked that ball out the air from Pickford towards the end, not many players in our squad have that touch, they will be so much better next season.

14 Jan 2019 18:12:48
Should we really invest 30 + Million for Gomes? I am not convinced. We will see at the end of the season.
