Being positive :
We played well.........I like the way we play........its good football and entertaining.
If Mangala had his shooting boots on he could have had a least 2 goals.
Wood is really hitting good form. Thank god the haters are quiet now.
CHO looked better......the more he plays the better he will get as his confidence builds.
Dominguez had a good game.
Its so much more positive football now.
Had MGW been playing those Mangala chances might have fallen to him, and its 3-4.
However, sadly, Toney cheated and VAR were on a piss break and did not see it, it seems.
We will be a strong side and win quite a few games once Afcon is over..........we should finish well over 10 points clear of the bottom 3.

I like your optimism but not sure I share it. I agree with Username. We can’t keep losing points in these six pointer games. It reminded me of the defeat at Wham. Doesn’t matter how well you play, if you can’t defend set pieces it’s not going to end well. Every week there are too many defensive errors.

True
but do you think Nuno cant see it and EM won’t give him the tools to fix it?
I don’t
We need a good Everton run of 3 or 4 wins soon tho

Football is so much better though. I really like Nuno.
There were 5 players in the wall, nobody was watching him, nobody saw him move the ball twice, nobody called it out.

After looking pretty decent against League One opposition, Aguilera discovered the step up to Premier opposition. He struggled a bit out there. Could do with a Championship season behind him, needs to learn.

CHO still waiting for that bus?
He was serving no purpose whatsoever with that position that he took up.
Why didn't he just go in the wall next to Yates?
Is it Yates (Captain) responsibility to drag CHO over to stand next to him or CHO who is responsible? Either way he just took up a position in no man's land which was criminal.
Personally I think this highlights a problem that we need a proper Captain, a proper organizer and a proper leader of men out on the pitch because that is lacking at the moment.

At least Yates was trying to do his job and telling Turner what to do, which he shouldn’t have to.
There is a lack of leadership though and I question the wisdom of having both centre backs as raw and inexperienced.

True although it was a bit half hearted in my view.
Yates should have left the wall and gone over to speak with Turner in my opinion to clarify everything.
Everything about it was just so half arsed.

And why didn’t we have someone on the post perhaps seeing as we knew from last season Toney would aim for that corner? As soon as the freekick was given you could see what was going to happen.

Yes that is a good point Bomber.
CHO for example would have been much better on the post instead of being in no man's land.
So so poor when we look back on that incident now and it could have been so easily avoided.

I wonder if EM broke something when it happened… I’m still angry about it and I doubt it’ll go away
