Moyes is a safe pair of hands and should be commended for making Everton hard to beat…but the handbrake needs to come off. Two points dropped against a poor Spurs side. Could’ve shown more ambitions with the subs. Large section of the fanbase clearly not happy… it’s West Ham all over again isn’t it…
michaelbrown.ifa21d ago
Nah nothing like west game thru had 25 players so could switch to a different format where as we the number we have we don’t have the different styles available
george.patten21d ago
Thing is with the lack of investment/seeningly shambolic transfer strategy - Is now the time to go for a more exciting manager, or do you take premier league safety with Moyes?
daviescallum4222d ago
Yeah it’s painful to watch sometimes, especially when we’re so early in the season. He never risks anything, and so he’ll never achieve anything with us. I’ll thank him for his services, but hope we replace in the summer

What do YOU make of our Everton player ratings vs Tottenham? 🤔
A few 5/10s expose a big problem...
chrisstafford123420d ago
Moyes should have taken Johnson off much earlier he had no impact 4 would have been an overstatement but Barry had a good game worked really hard with little support substitutions were poor spurs made five we seemed to be reluctant does not bode well for the future
anthonymanley195621d ago
I thought garner was better than a 7 he was my man of the match
ptrckbennett22d ago
Pretty bang on but I'm dropping JP to a "Lucky 5" yes he made a decent save but it was as a result of his own dicking around with the ball and dire passing! Johnson I'm giving a "3" simply because I didn't think he was on the pitch for most of the game! Barry gets another "Lucky 4" he didn't do a lot wrong it just his style game and couldn't adapt!
Fantastic numbers today from James Garner considering he still supposedly isn’t 100% fit. Bodes well!

If Elliot Anderson is worth £120m, how much just Jimmy Garner be worth? 👀

Plenty of boos in the Tottenham majority after the full-time whilstle. Is this reasonable? 🤔
daviescallum4222d ago
Yeah I’d be fuming if I was in their position. They almost make us look well run 😂

Jordan Pickford has reached 100 Premier League sheets this evening 💙

A remarkable achievement by someone sadly still so underrated outside the Everton sphere!

And yet you will still have the media picking James Trafford ahead of him in their best English 11s 😆😆😆

Never a terrible point away at Spurs but you can't help but feel they were there for the taking. We just never really got going. Garner was superb though. Defence was solid although Pickford a little shaky times. We take the point and move on
daviescallum4222d ago
I’d normally agree, but not against THAT Spurs. I’m really disappointment with that result

ptrckbennett22d ago
Well at least we broke a record with a 0-0 at the Spurs💙

calum_jones22d ago
Definitely. Repeat of the last game of last season really 😬

Two games where we should be getting some points coming up, Ipswich and Hull. Can you see 6 points from them 2 games? If not, what do you think we can get 🤔
gramorris22d ago
They’re both flying atm, Hull especially. Neither are a given although we’ve not lost to either recently
daviescallum4222d ago
No chance sadly, we’re Everton 😂I reckon 1-3pts max
♥ 1

The unbeaten start continues... but was that two points dropped by Everton? 😬
waltonl419d ago
I really think it was 2 points dropped, although the 1st 20 mins it looked like we were going to be hammered, but as the game went on, Spurs looked like they were accepting a defeat, but sadly Moyes didn't utilize the subs! I thought we were going to score at least a goal for the 3 points, but we missed too many chances & we threw away the 2 points!
mwjpm7rntw21d ago
A very good draw. They stuffed us.
rhsmyth21d ago
Defo 2 pts lost thanks to mr negative ! Why didn,t Hackney and Grealish start ? his subs were totally ilogical and why only 3 ? Learnt nothing from last season going to burn our best players out yet again !
If you told me at the start of the day that we would get a point there I would take it. Although spurs have been poor reverently, I think a draw there is decent. Away from home as well. Push on and move forward 💯
neilpurcell321d ago
Why is everybody so excited about getting a point against spurs, for god’s sake get a grip, they’re not Barcelona, what have they done over the last 20years to frighten us, we should be going there and getting a result, look at the dead average teams that get results there every season.
O’Brien now at RB 🥴 Another example of poor summer planning. Everton FC strike again
neilpurcell321d ago
Nothing wrong with O’Brien, darn good footballer, tell me what he’s done wrong, to get negative comments, there are other players in the team who couldn’t lace his boots.
Should Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have scored there? 🤔
daviescallum4222d ago
Wasn’t an easy chance but yes got to take gifts like that & we never seem to

Spurs are struggling right now. So is Johnson. Should Moyes take the initiative and make a change?
neilpurcell321d ago
Dibbling will only get game time in carabou cup.
davemount1722d ago
Dibling should have started over Johnson. Played decent in preseason. Hope he plays against Wolves and has a good game
daviescallum4222d ago
I can’t believe he’s just taken George off, must be carrying a knock or Moyes wants his head rattling
Good hold up play by Barry there, decent chance. Good start to the half 💯
daviescallum4222d ago
When given a chance & support, he’s a good striker. Shame he gets men alongside him once every blue moon

Back underway here! What needs to change in the second half?!

Stop going down the left
No changes at the break, thoughts??
daviescallum4222d ago
Get Hackney on

Is Brennan Johnson even on the pitch? 😬
gramorris22d ago
He’s losing the ball, giving it away. Needs to be replaced asap imp

HT: Tottenham 0-0 Everton. Your thoughts on that first half performance?!

Pretty dull I have to say, need to make a change

daviescallum4222d ago
Just so dire and boring, they’re there for the taking. Wonder if Moyes will take any risks second half. Get Grealish & Hackney on & go win this match

tom.procter22d ago
Low-quality half. There’s such an opportunity here. Need to start testing Kinsky second-half. Positive that JP hasn’t been tested himself at least

calum_jones22d ago
Been a rocky start for the Blues. Very dull 🥴
Absolutely abysmal opening 10 mins. Look miles off it atm
ptrckbennett22d ago
Hackney, Grealish on Barry, Johnson off🤔

ptrckbennett22d ago
We need pace and to hold the ball ... pointless wasting possession with sloppy passes and aimlessly hoofing the ball

Just empty green grass everywhere

KICK-OFF! Away we go in north London - how are we all feeling?!
daviescallum4222d ago
Just get it to 0-0 at half time and let the fans get on their back
calum_jones22d ago
Think we need to be getting a point here atleast. Need to show the standard of this squad going into the majority of the season now 💙
The teams take to the pitch for warmup 🤩
No comments yet. Be the first.
David Moyes arrives. Think today can set the standard of where Everton should be 💯
No comments yet. Be the first.
No indication as to what exactly it is… but Rohl injured
daviescallum4222d ago
Hope it’s nothing serious. Interested to see AMN from the off, and see what his defending his like
gomatz7722d ago
Big miss that for Everton. Warra player honestly. Love watching him, such a hard worked as well. Hope it's nothing serious

calum_jones22d ago
Oh no 😟
Anyone to be concerned about here? Marmoush put out wide where I think he’ll be more effective than playing as lone striker
neilpurcell322d ago
Thank you 🙏
neilpurcell322d ago
Damn, didn’t know that, cheers brogan.
neilpurcell322d ago
I do expect to see, Grealish, Hackney and Rohl make an impact later in the game.

The starting XI is out for Everton vs Spurs! What do you make of the team?
calum_jones22d ago
Hackneys performance against Man U deserved to be credited, a start today certainly certifies that 💯
calum_jones22d ago
Grealish is not starting is strange, does anyone know if it’s due to injury or something? If not, weird decision
calum_jones22d ago
I’m happy that AMN is starting personally, deserved it after the goal last week.
Jack IS ready to start vs Spurs 🤩
ptrckbennett23d ago
A part of me would like to see Rohl slotting in somewhere but as strange as this sounds I just can't find a place for him 🤔
kmm.mace23d ago
Mmm. Still not sure on that one Brogan. I',d like to see the pacey players on first to run the backs ragged. Then bring on Jack to get the job done. But, always happy to be proved wrong if it works for the Blueboys!! 💙 UTFT

Moyes' press conference today at 13:30. I'm strangely confident before this game and I have no idea why cos we usually never show up at Spurs. Terrible record down there 🥴

They're definitely there for the taking and we owe them one big time it's just a case of are we going to step up and take it

Yeah I’m the same, had weird optimism from our on the pitch stuff so far, but couldn’t have less off it. I think we’ll get something, a draw at least

We've named the XI we'd like to see from Everton against Spurs, but what does yours look like?
michaelhughes321d ago
I’d be tempted to give Johnson a try up front, George to swap wings and bring Grealish in on the left

neilpurcell323d ago
My best 11, Pickford, mainland-Nile’s, O’Brien, branthwaite, mykolenko, garner, Hackney, Grealish, dewsbury-hall, George, Barry.

How confident are you feeling ahead of Saturday after the first three games? 🔥
Spurs are yet to even score a goal...
williamsdave95923d ago
Have to agree with him what's the point of being negative it gets you nowhere well said KDH
jimstarkcowden23d ago
I would be happy with a point but a win could be achieved if the side can convert a couple of the chances which which will be created.
del_kath23d ago
Good Feeling ahead of today's fixture, a lot depends on injuries, or at least avoiding them, but great to have selection headaches for a change !
We have to shift those two strikers, Beto and Barry, i wouldn't pay them in washers. We should have gone for Wilson when he left Newcastle.
brogan131d ago
Who'd you look to bring in this summer? We need a statement signing at striker, for me

Very poor performance gave away the ball to easy sometimes you wonder why go after players and then they never play Moyes always sticks with same week in week out.
brogan132d ago
There was absolutely nothing to the performance, it was absolutely embarrassing. How he has gone the full season with O'Brien at right-back is incredible
♥ 2
As if Moyes believes we have taken a step in the right direction. He has to take responsibility for how he has managed games and the squad, including the shameful transfers and treatment of players. If i was a player and Everton came knocking, I wouldn't join with Moyes at the club.
tom.procter132d ago
Everything you said is spot on. Some of his responses recently have been worryingly delusional. Do you reckon we'll actually be in trouble next season if we stick with Moyes this summer?

I thought sleeping on it would help but it only made it worse! I've been a Toffee since before I was born I think, through the good times and the bad and everything in between, I was there in 95 when we showed the Mancs how to win a cup "Dogs of War" style. Jeez the memories and stories are unreal and yet here we are, I've been disappointed, frustrated...
ptrckbennett132d ago
I've been pissed off, proud, shocked both happily and sadly, you name it I've been through it as we all have but never ever have I been the way I am today, never ever have I looked to the season gone by and the one yet to come with such a hopeless feeling, never ever has the dream or hope gone away and most importantly never ever have I been so bloody ANGRY
♥ 2
I really don't blame Illy or wonder why he's seemingly dropped off in form... if you were his age with his talent and gaining more and more attention and a WC coming up to attract even more interest are you going to risk injury or run yourself into the ground for the way we are playing for too long now???
tom.procter133d ago
The only thing he should have been thinking about is giving 100% every single game for Everton Football Club. I would certainly hope these things haven't been factors behind his poor performances for several weeks now

I kid you not it's like avin Dill kenSHITE back again ? We are just money makers for making Roma better ?????
robi133d ago
You moved on from Moyes now and on to the Friedkins? 😆
