Just really poor, lacklustre, aimless, spiritless football. Getting completely out-played and out-fought by one of the worst team's in the league currently.
Fornals has been shocking, then again most have....Will be lucky to get in just 1 down, Anderson IMO tried just about a little more than the rest, very poor 1st half & that's being polite.
Players don't look bothered. Not even challenging for 50/50s. The areas of space for Everton is a joke. You could take our entire midfield off and you wouldn't notice any difference.
I know it's not Pellegrini's style, but someone needs to lay into these players. That was as hopeless a performance as I've seen from us for a long time.
Maybe I'm being a bit optimistic but we improved slightly in the last 5-10 mins of the first half. We're not out of the game at 1-0 and I saw some very very brief moments which give me hope for the second half. Imo Lanzini needs to come off though.

Can understand why. We just don't use him well at all.
Doesn't seem to be any plan whatsoever.
Too many lightweight players up top.
Fornals & Lanzini off, Yarmo & Snodgrass on
We seriously need to wake up in the second half.
