    I think I disagree. Once we got the early goal we did exactly what we wanted to until the last 10ish Minutes. We just don’t play pretty.

    Allan being back was readily obvious in the middle of the park and it wasn't even a great performance for him.

    A win is big time because we've choked in these games against the worst form teams.

    I feel very vindicated in my pre-match Gomes comments. He played great tonight.

    guys I feel really bad, but the only games I havent watched the last 6 weeks were either a loss or a draw. I will do better the rest of the way.

    This is crazy since I don’t remember him touching the ball more than 15 times

    Technically only had one shot on target and still got the three points. That’s simultaneously worrying and impressive. I’m not all that excited about having West Brom next because they’re at the red line where any potential great escape has to start ASAP.

    We could get a chance to find out if at least one of those mysterious names that occupy our bench are real people or mere soccer bots.

    As I put in the big thread. Think James and Tom were a little more injured than thought. It’s a 4-4-2 with Wobs and Bernard at the wings. Makes sense because we will have possession and Wobs is best at taking people off the dribble. I like it except for André. This is not his type of game.

    Trying to watch this during a conference call but from I have seen not looking so sharp and Gomes looks loose with his passing

    Martin Tyler on Monday called him “the Norwegian striker with the English name” which made me chuckle

    Gomes is all game dependent... against Chelsea style he’d be better. He just sucks when not against pressing teams because he’s much better at long balls than short passes.

    I give Gomes more leeway than 99% of Evertonians because he seems like a great person but I thought he played well on Monday.

    Strap in though. Because the real problem with our attack is Holgate. We have nothing down the right side because of him. And poor Seamus is just done I fear.

    I think it’s the “Handsome Bubble” that makes me get more angry at Michael Keane and Pickford than I ever do at Gomes.

    Someone is butthurt that they’re about to lose their “Guaranteed to keep you in the PL” label.

    If I were to let him get away with the half chance comment, I would just respond that having players as good as Richarlison is why we are better than fucking West Brom. Nobody on West Brom is good enough to score “half chances”.
