Well that was dull... Didn't take advantage of anything from yesterday and can lose ground on Man United. Not that looked like would catch them anyway but  been nice to have a shot 

LOL we aren't gonna catch City or United, should be more worried about the teams below us.

[Milan 17,835]

I can only hope Man United and Tottenham lose points as well. Fucking Everton and fucking Allardyce. We played them at such a bad time..

[Pizy 17,860]

We have literally zero game hanging attacking subs. And we have too many average players in wide areas.

Man U maybe.. Ish course not City they're long gone but we were only 3/4 off Man United so that could have happened... Somehow.

Problem is they're not playing that bad whereas we are and it was likely to catch up with us.  

[FabHazard 655]

Our attacking play is clearly below the level of other top teams in the league....xG is one of the lowest among top teams....Attack needs to be improved....Lot of deadwood in the squad ...We need a quality player other than hazard in the front 3..

Another drab performance, didn't turn up until the 10 minutes. If we're to continue this formation we need more creative players on both wings and wing backs. Willian, doesn't deserve a place on the bench, let alone starter, offers nothing to our team. We look a different team when hazard and fabregas are playing

Thank the board for lack of game changing subs, tight as fuck when it comes to strengthening the squad.

As for the game, we did everything but score but obviously it goes down as a classic Fat Sam performance....I'm sorry but if that is classic Fat Sam football is fucking finished.

[Milan 17,835]

I repeat - spend some proper money and fuck what others think. Buy some real quality no matter what. This is going nowhere.

[Magic Lamps 11,446]

Against such a slow,old and short defense a striker like morata would have had a field day. Without hin this became the arduous affair we all expected.

Problem is we know what happen... Either buy pointless players or do the whole we're happy with squad talk which you can tell is far far from any truth. 

[BXL70 395]

We are missing quality players, not even mentioning top quality players. For example, Zappacosta was just horrendous.

That draw shows what we are.

[Pizy 17,860]

Don't know why people are saying it was drab or boring. We were sending wave after wave of attack, dominated the midfield and should've scored 2-3. It was one of our best attacking performances of the season in terms of asserting our dominance.

Everton seemed to have 8 players in their box and 2 players on the line in addition to the keeper at all times. No way through.

It is big Sam team what people expect. They are going to play conservative football and pray that they score from set pieces. We know that before the game even start. 

The problem was we simply cannot keep playing this 343 with 3 small player up top with 2 conservatives cm all the time. It is like watching the same movie against soton. We get the ball, Kante passing is very conservative whereas bakayoko tried to be a bit more vary but he tend to miss that pass. Get it to Hazard, Willian or Pedro who is swarmed by defenders. Push it wide for Moses or Alonso who struggle to beat player one on one. Get it back to our front 3,then push it to another wing. Same story. Try to cross, without any runner from midfield, fail rinse repeat.

Not enough. We are lacking a true quality. A true quality would turn this game into a winning one. Even against 8 players in the box.

Did you feel like we are going to score? 

Because I didn't. It was similar to game against soton, if Alonso did not scored from free kick, I didn't feel like we are going to score.

Dominated defensively and in midfield yes but no drive or ideas up top and not threatening to score. Pass around the box with no urgency, no one in the box then attempt to flick it through 4 opposition players . Can't remember any clear cut chances we had today.

 

drab performance yet again

Yes, we pinned them back but we didn't create many clear chances, did we? Even when we did have a chance, like the one very early in the second half, Pedro completely fluffed it. Plus, the front 3 of Hazard, Willian and Pedro is getting really annoying to watch. It looks a decent combination on paper but at times, we have looked more interested in going for the flicks, back heels rather than trying to get the goal. We have been trying to walk it in rather than just be direct and shoot when the space, even a little, opens up! Worst part is, we play at a snail tempo and without any real movement. Everything is almost in front of the opposition defence, making it so easy for them to defend. Rather than us trying to be creative, trying to do something out of ordinary to break them, we practically need them to have a lapse in defence for us to score, which isn't the recipe for success!

[Beigl 1,387]

Our wingbacks are so terrible. Moses is a great athlete, but lacks football IQ and skills on the ball. Alonso is good at kicking the ball, but he is slow, weak and has no stamina, which means he is useless in 7 out of 10 games. And I don´t even know how someone would come to the conclusion that buying Zappacosta for 26 mio. pounds is a good idea.
