Tottenham Hotspur v Everton - July 6th - 8PM (UK)

[Football Chap]

I'll take the 3 points all day but we need to be better on Thursday since Bournemouth might actually try to get something from the game given their position. COYS

Not even close.

Moura with 53% pass success vs Son's 85%.

Son with above average ratings compared to all the players that played.. but Moura with well below average stats.

As much as I love stats, there are so many important thing those numbers don't account for. For example, there's no stat for the fact that Kane made the highest number of genuinely impressive passes in the match, despite having a nominally lower overall accuracy.

Both results were deserved - we simply aren’t good anymore is key positions

Remains to see if Jose can improve some players

We definitely have no rights to think SU is an automatic 3 points. But if we were going to get top 4 those two games were must win.

"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom."

I'd be livid if I was an Everton fan, everything that's wrong with modern footballers who are happy to collect colossal wages that they don't earn and don't deserve.

The scenes at the final whistle where they were all having a laugh and a joke with our players having served up that insipid performance made me angry.

As for us, we were shit but slightly less shit than them, I suppose we have to give credit that our players felt like putting a few tackles in and running around a bit....

was still dross to watch and would have lost to anyone decent

Shouldn't worry you, you do hate them after all.

 

[Bazali]

Hugo coming across well

 

[scott]

fuck that, I’m worried about Bournemouth...

Solanke not scored in 40 games. Was watching us & licking his lips.

 

[ArcspacE]

Did we make Everton look bad or did they just descend to our level

Bit of both

Their midfield was better than ours but strikers were worse so we kind of cancelled each other off

any longer and I might have.

All our players tried hard for most of the game. (Son was a naughty boy just before HT).
We had our best back four.
We won the game.
Simples.

Lads, I think the only way to get through this is to revel in the boring ness of it all. Laugh or you will cry

check the thread it's been more fun then the match

 

[Distaste for scouse]

I'm still convinced my stream was running unbelievably slow throughout and that no game of football could be that slow paced in real life.

Was like playing Matchday 2 on a spectrum.

Matchday 2.. that's a name I haven't heard in a long long time....

Used to spend endless hours playing my brother as kids sharing the old rubber keyboard on the ZX spectrum.

I was on Q,W,A,S & D he was on O,P,J,K,N

I think the FA might dock us a point - surely that performance wasn't worth all three.

 

[Sir Archibald Crooks]

There was a game towards the end of AVB's shitshow where we beat Hull 1-0, i think we were booed off after winning. Today was a mirror image.

Did we make Everton look bad or did they just descend to our level

Yes.

 

[hiatus]

This was the Sheffield United match but we got a lucky goal and didn't shit our pants at the back. Nothing else of note, unfortunately.

 

[Reidy]

Being in stasis for the next million years would be more fun than that match.

 

[Dr Rocktopus]

I understand posters on here saying the result is all that matters, but A) it’s not remotely entertaining, and B) there’s no evidence that this approach will be successful long-term.

They didn’t exactly look fired up, which seemed to be the one thing Mourinho wanted after the last game.

Did we make Everton look bad or did they just descend to our level

If I was going to be super positive I'd say Jose did the right thing using Toby not Dav. Everton had no pace but Calvert Lewin is a big typical Target man so we nullified there set piece threat and stopped them lumping it up.

We doubled up on Richarlison and kept Aurier back in our own half so he didn't leave so much space.

The worry tough was because we didn't push the fullbacks up and all 3 bar maybe winks in the middle played poor we didn't look like we was ever a threat either
