Everton v Dagenham & Redbridge/Whitehawk


No idea what whitehawk is....

Maintaining mid table with these draws is so disappointing.

I wouldn't look at it like that tbh.

Everton supporters have a lot to be happy about at the moment, and the league is so tight that anyone in the top 10 could fancy a go at top 4.

Realistically, this year is the most open it's been for years!

Well one thing you cannot say is that watching Everton is boring, proper heart in the mouth for the last 20 minutes! Could have won it or lost it at any moment.

Good performance from both sides, still very optimistic and loving watching us play at the moment.

Our approach play at times is fantastic, we just lose our way when we defend like we did when CP scored.

A good game, Palace very well organised and have to grudgingly accept that Pardew knows his stuff, wonder what he would do with our squad? I thought we were easy on the eye but should've made our superiority count, not for the first time this season. GD was a bit wasteful, especially his corners, but he is a fantastic prospect, Kone worked hard but was not great in front of goal and when his legs went I thought RM would bring on Miralles, but he didn't so I guess he's off in Jan. Cleverley was excellent considering his lack of games, Stones, Rom and Barkley immense.

This team is the best for many years, I really hope we win something in the vain hope they might stick together for one more year. How about we get Rooney back in Jan?

Have him in a heartbeat, but Manure would want Lukaku in return.......

Another game that we had by the throat and we let them off, why does RM continue to play Kone? when Naismith is a better option...

That's 4 points dropped in two games, not good enough.

[Black can man]

Bloody good game for the neutral though.

Too many draws. Great team, but too many draws. How many points we dropped from winning positions, anyone?

Count the Bournmouth game it's 6 in 3 games. We should have gone in 3-0 up at half time, so many chances missed.

Set pieces and lack of a ruthless streak will cost us dearly I fear. I think Martinez has done a good job of developing this squad of players, but I wonder if he knows how to get them winning rather than just playing.

You can't blame him for the players not scoring, you should have had it all wrapped up at half time no question.


Martinez's style of play is very pleasing on the eye.

[anonymous-user]

Roberto's half time team talks must be something to behold!

"Great first half lads, we've won this! Now go out and fall apart"

We are good to watch, but drawing games we should be winning like Bournemouth and Norwich is frustrating, if I were neutral (like you) the result wouldn't bother me either.

That's fair enough.

Would you rather be like United ? top 4 playing boring side passing turgid unimaginative football ?

I think i'd rather be entertained than see my team grind out boring 1-0's & i guess there's a lot of United fans that would share my opinion too.

[T66ORA]

Playing entertaining football and drawing 3-3, or grinding out results, winning trophies and CL footy?

Let me think about that one

[tdm34]

Anyone any idea if RM has any money to spend in the window?

[T66ORA]

Sell to buy I reckon, Mcgeady out on loan, paying half his wages, Naismith wants out, £7m will buy him. I`m told Mirallas is going no where which most of us will find strange.
