Garry Nelson's Left Foot · Dec 29, 2018

If they had scored from that stephens back pass this place would have exploded.

I only saw the last 15 minutes of the half. It looked lacklustre from both sides. How was the first 30?

Hard fought game.

Stephens has been so, so poor. I am totally mystified how he is starting ahead of the far superior Bissouma.

My thoughts exactly, he has been slow slow slow,, Tell me how Bissouma doesn't fit in this side playing at this speed. I'm mystified.

Sorry but despite Stephen's getting a lot of plaudits on here I just see him giving possession away and loose passing virtually every game

Good for the first 20 or so, then became a bit scrappy and, as you say, lacklustre. Better chances have fallen to Everton.

I'd have been more mystified if Stephens had been dropped after his great performance against Arsenal.

Early on in this game he did two fabulous passes to set up moves down the wing. But he does seem to have been a bit caught out since then. On the other hand, not sure Locadia has put a foot wrong yet.

Commentary on TSN has been decent

Plus they have a tactics touch screen :wozza:

Stephens the standout scapegoat but March and perhaps Gross have been poor too. The others all look good. If we can fix the weakest links we can get this win.

Because we are placing a fast paced game, which stephens doesn't have

Really enjoying this, our pressing has been superb. Andone makes such a difference, he needs to start every game from now on.

Shame we can't get a shot on target though

Cozzy · Dec 29, 2018

lack of intensity from both teams & the crowd by the sound of it ... few chances and looking increasingly like a mistake will decide it

hope for much improvement in second half ... needs something to ignite it & hopefully will be Richalson punching Dunk to get some fire in the game ... at least some red for Richarlson

0-0 would be acceptable I guess but with upcoming games 3 points would be very much appreciated .. come on the Albion

Lower West Stander · Dec 29, 2018

Bit flat for me that.

Quite even but Everton had the better chances.

As someone else said, having Locadia on definitely gives us more options

I wouldn't say lacklustre, but we've been pushed back five yards. That stops the out ball and causes mistakes. Everton are not mugs, they know how to play this game. We need to be a little bit more, whats the word, not brave but you know, oomph!

Anyone going back to Hampshire after the game and willing to drop Gross off at Southampton ?

I didn’t think he was that good against Arsenal. Propper owned the midfield that day.

The Weakest Link is Button, as shown by his spillage. We can't fix that today.

The decline in Gross’s performances this season compared to last has been mystifying. He’s almost been a waste of a shirt in most games, totally anonymous. He’s been back from injury a while now but still looks totally off the pace.

I know March has got his knockers but give me him ahead of Gross any day at the moment, at least March is getting involved in the games even if his final ball can be frustrating.
