Absolutely this. How far have we come when we feel crap about not getting a result at Goodison? Onwards and upwards.

Pretty feeble display I’m afraid
Leicester is a complete irrelevance. He didn't get much game time for them, and was competing for a place against Mahrez.
He was upset about being subbed, he didn't take it out on his teammates and he was over it within a few minutes. That strop was as irrelevant as his time at Leicester.
He made a poor tackle and got sent off. Hardly the first footballer to do that.
You're over-reacting and being as petulant as Knocky.

I feel crap because we can do far far better than this performance showed. We let them dominate us for pretty much all of the game as we did at Huddersfield and WBA. Is this really our pre planned away tactic.Absolutely this. How far have we come when we feel crap about not getting a result at Goodison? Onwards and upwards.

points deduction ?
Looks like it was just individuals on the pitch..(My mate overstating it)
I doubt the FA would have the balls to give them a points deduction for that.
Particularly as they have 5 more home games to come.
If they were effectively down, it wouldn't be a deterrent to not do it again.
I suspect a slap on the wrist and threat of points deduction if it happens again

Of course we feel crap when we lose with a poor performance. That's part of being a football supporter, we turn up game after game hoping for the best from our team but it will not always happen. One week beating Arsenal at home and deserving it, the next getting beaten away to Everton and also deserving it. That's football, not truly knowing what's going to happen.

Hey ho... We can't expect to be brilliant every week at this level! we're a mid table team at best, and by definition folks we are a win, lose, draw kind of team... Get over it.

Top bombing Kosh and it also keeps us and our players under the radar. We need to lose a game every now and then or this team will get asset stripped in the summer. Today really was a lose-win situation.

The only really disappointing thing is Knocky being unavailable for the next 3.
He will regret this.
I wouldn't expect Chris to put him back in after the 3 game ban.
AK has let himself down and will have to pay his dues before he gets another shot.
Shame because he had started to turn the corner.
I suspect March will have to absolutely stink the place out to lose the shirt now.
Solly is a much better player than a lot of people give him credit for.
A guaranteed 3 game run is just what he needs to get himself back into contention.
Alternatively I suppose Locadia could start instead. Possibly even worse news for AK.

Only watched on a stream but I thought Gross looked great when he dropped back into midfield. Best passer we have and always looking to get on the ball and pass it forward.

How is assessing his past performances in the Prem irrelevant to judging his overall Prem suitability? He wasn't deemed good enough for the Prem last time, game time is irrelevant. Another Prem team would have snapped him up if he was unlucky not to get a first team place due to a better player but still good enough.
He wears his heart on his sleeve which can be endearing but his strop last game was disrespectful to the manager. CH coverd for him his actions today finished any chance of a come back. He has had a very average season overall and I expect we will strengthen in the summer. I think it highly unlikely he will be wearing BHA colours next season.

Tosser who sits behind me will be delighted if he's out.
Is his name Jay Rodriguez?

Do you mean during the last part of the game where Everton sat back and conserved energy?
Central midfield was absent today.

OK ! But he is probably just out of his depth based upon this season's performances (thus far).
I appreciate that he is a typical Gallic (hugely emotional) sort of individual but we surely don't need players who are kicking up the traces at being subbed OR who have the capacity to commit stupid/reckless fouls which result in a red and the Albion playing out whatever period in a match with only ten players.

If he managed to pass forward with Everton sitting back, even better. Gross is class for me.
