Good first half ( not scoreline )... Biggest downer - Lanzini Biggest miss - Benrahama.. All to play for in 2nd half... Remaining positive for a comeback win...COYI
I think it’s been pretty even tbh. They got a very easy goal, but otherwise they haven’t made much. We’ve had decent possession, but struggling to break them down. I kind of wanted Fredericks on for Lanzini to give us some more natural width. It’s too congested in the middle with their back 3 and 2 holding mids
Everton look the better team, very good defensively. We need a moment of magic I feel which means Lingard or Benrhama, who is off the pace so far today and has been wasteful.
I am still trying to work out how Rice manages to finish the England game without even being taken off but picks up an injury within it which causes him to miss seven matches and counting.
To be fair I have enjoyed the game, it is not as if we are playing badly, we just seem to be losing out on a bunch of 50/50 balls in midfield, the other day we generally came away with the ball but today has a slightly different feeling about it.
Difference seems to be that Everton see the importance of this game but we don’t. Defeat here and I think European football of any kind may be out of reach.
32 chances so far for benrahma since he arrived simply not good enough imo
He definitely should be off the mark, but I can’t think of any particular chance that he should have scored, other than the one today. It’s not like he’s had a bag of howlers
Apart from the ball being on the ground, can someone explain to me the difference between Antonio’s foul on the wing there and the one on him by Keane in the first half?

Pretty even, IMO.

Everton are so comfy to be fair
There is not much in it

We’re going through the motions compared to Monday, chalk & cheese
I think we've moved the ball quickly and been direct in our running and dribbling. If anything, we've rushed things a bit.
They've just been very organised so far.
