I suppose you have to accept that we had a Wednesday night game and little recovery time. That said, we lost the ball far too frequently and let Everton build momentum in the second half. I could see the warning signs before half time. A fantastic first 30 minutes but after that, second best and lucky to have won it

I wouldn’t say that we were lucky to have won it. I think the game was deservedly won in the first half. The second half was always going to be hard, given the fixtures that we had.

Agreed, it’s the derby too and Everton actually aren’t half bad (compared to the last 10 years anyway).

Positives for me was there wasn’t any panic as such, thought we defended really well and got our positioning spot on
 
A 50/50 throw went our way near the end and that’s basically why they didn’t get something out of the game apparently
Twice they got a throw in that should have been ours and Grealish taking the ball over the line then kicking it at Bradley and trying to claim a corner. At least he clapped the ref for making the right decision. <laugh>

Anyone notice Tarkowski hacking Ekitike down as the ball sailed into the net?
