Fairly forgettable half. Everton had the better chances and I think look clearly a level above. We're lucky they massively ****ed up that 3 on 2 about 5 minutes before HT. We've got into some decent positions but final ball often lacked quality. That half showed the best and worst of the playing out of the back, it resulted in our best move which Fernandes and Manning ****ed up between them but we've also given the ball in dangerous positions so much and still look so vulnerable to quick breaks. I'll never know how the ref didn't book Young. Massive lack of bollocks. Feels very much to me like a 1-0 either way game to me.
Shame Lallana is not able to do a full 90 because he is class still. Hopefully he builds fitness and can at least get up to 70 mins.
Don’t like seeing Fernandes picking the ball up where Manning should be. He needs to be more central and more advanced.
Had the chance of a break then, got to halfway line and went straight back, allowing 4 Everton attackers to get behind the ball. Sigh.
