Here we go! Everton don't win so the critiscism starts. News for the experts, the Brentfords etc! At this level are not gping to roll over. We performed well today.

People are criticising the first goal, which was bloody awful, and you don't need to be an "expert" to realise that. We were ok in spells, but sat back and let them play far too often. Our passing was poor at times, so no, we didn't perform well; we were average at best.

Word perfect, Brass.

A draw at Brentford with their free scoring striker is a result. But we could have won if we were better for the first goal and if KDH had shot when he was 1 on 1. Football is all about the ifs, though. And I'm sure the Brentford fans have a few ifs of their own.
Good result for me.

Of course it was, Toffee Ace. Well said.

Good result, but as Brass says, an average performance.
Two positives for me were we got a point, and how refreshing it was to see a winger come on and run at defenders.
Two negatives, McNeil back to his old self, and poor passing.

Never thought it would be an easy game away at Brentford. They have some very good players and a very consistent first 11.
We lacked a bit of sharpness, the downside of going so long without a game, perhaps.
I like that we showed some fight in coming back into the game twice. George showed that he can over some threat on goal, which we'll need in the next few games. Not unhappy with a point, 7th/8th very much still on the cards.

I thought we played pretty well.
Silly first goal, but that happens sometimes.
I genuinely thought the international / FA Cup break came at the wrong time for us as we were really building up a head of steam. But again, that's how things go sometimes.
Brentford are a really good side and they have a striker who is as good as anyone at the minute. I can see him getting snapped up at the end of the season by a really big club. If we had another 10 goals from all departments this season we'd easily be CL, but that's one for 26/27 I think.
What I do love is the never say die attitude of our current team. We keep fighting right until the end. It is the polar opposite of when Silva managed us. If we ever went a goal down, my heart would sink as it just felt inevitable.
I optimistically said we'd finish 8th at the start of the season, but genuinely think we may go slightly higher now.
Anyway, the sun is out, I'm a blue, I'm feeling happy, you should too. X.

I thought we played well in spells, mainly the 1st half. Second half, we were miles off it for long periods, and our passing was terrible. Brentford have some very good players and are a decent side so coming from behind twice shows we have a lot more fight than previous seasons.
I just hate that every time we have a real good chance to push up the league, we don't take it, and that has been the same since Martinez first season with us.
It's so frustrating!
We have improved massively since Moyes came in and the signing of KDH, Grealish and the emergence of Garner has helped that significantly. But, even though we are in transition and improving, we could and should easily have more points on the board.
