Should have scored when we were on top in the 1st half. Scrappy as fuck second half but didn’t think we looked like conceding.

Defo more solid on set pieces etc so thats a positive.

We played some nice stuff up to the final third and another clean sheet is a positive

Coleman proving that if you haven't learnt to cross a ball by the age of 30........

Shame but 7th was always going to be a big ask.

Thought we played well tbh.

Dominated the ball, had the better chances and limited them on the break.

It’s the type of game where you need your strikers to put one away and ours didn’t.

Wind didn't help like

Defo played well, dominated the game. Just hate not winning these types of games.

Let it be known that Marco silva has made us very, very good at the back.

Did ok there just not enough to win.

Damage was done over those shit winter months, encouraging what's gone on the last 2 months though

To be fair to the strikers there weren't too many missed chances. Big problem was lack of final pass. However, everything up to the edge of their box was really good. Positive performance away from home that bodes well for next season.

Yeah, we do need someone who can breach defences centrally in games like that (I would still try Bernard there) but we also need a striker if we want to challenge the Top 6 next season

Result gives me hope for next season but unfortunately removes it for qualifying for Europe. As many have said, we need investment up top this summer as DCL just isn't there yet (although he does have a future with us).

Annoyed me personally but I suppose it was the big long barren run in the middle of the season that did for us rather than an away at the end of the year to be fair.

It’s a bog standard Everton result from the last 20 years that.

If anyone was expecting us to go there and win then you’re very much mistaken.

We’re a long way off me expecting us to get results away from home.

Positive signs this season though.
