Everton v West Brom

[GLewis]

We don't often play bad enough to get angry about and we don't often play good enough to get excited about. It's just all very meh at the minute, which is the worst place to be as I associate meh with that group of teams in the centre of the league that won't go down nor trouble the silverware engravers. Which is what we're becoming.

This is a potential problem.

We don't look like we're that far away from being a good side.

Winning 1 in 3 means that the last good result/performance is often not that long ago which sticks in people's minds.

We're in danger, based on the last 2 seasons, of always being in this limbo. Not quite making it to the level we should, but equally never being appalling enough to force some sort of change.

Sounds like a lot of marriages I've seen.

correct and I feel with this potential new investment it will just enable us keep pace with these mid table teams rather than challenge for top 4 under the current management at least

Of course you can say WBA defended really well but you could also say they are anti-football.

There's no could about it, they're one of the most negative teams I've seen for a long time. However it's how you beat Everton at home these days, we don't seem to have the players to unlock defenses who set up like it's the 90th minute.

Rondon was eating popcorn for the vast majority of that game.

[Macca77]

First half was good, did everything but score, second half was like our subs, fucking forgetfull

What a depressing afternoon that was.  And bloody freezing to boot.  I'm absolutely sick of this shite and it is actually really annoying to watch us play at Goodison - the crowd is so impatient, the play is so predictable, and I find myself instead watching our best players body language in the vain hope that I might convince myself that they might be thinking it would be good for them to stay at Everton.  Absolutely no chance!

[TSGun]

Man, there are times I just hate football.

So disappointed.

Why would they come here and go toe to toe against more superior players? Especially when they're under pressure to stop the slide towards relegation and it's a pretty effective way to beat Everton these days.
They got their tactics spot on. Everyone knew how they'd play but they came, they performed and left with 3 pts. Job done.

Cheer up lads, Scalia died!

................... the crowd is so impatient, the play is so predictable

.............insert the word ''because '' in the middle of your quote. We suffered for 75 minutes after they scored so I think we were quite patient ! And yes it was freezing !
