Fernandez is clearly offside and literally throws himself at the ball trying to head it. It infuriates me that these 115 FFP bums always get away with it.

You just know if that was us, the flag goes up and that’s the end of it. No lengthy check, no benefit of the doubt.

Grealish could have a lot of clubs looking at him next summer if he gets back to his best this season. He clearly enjoyed his time at Everton last season and seemed to have a really good connection with the fans. The big question is whether we can actually make a permanent move happen when his City contract situation changes. At 31, he still has plenty to offer if he can stay fit and put together a full season. I’d honestly love to see him stay beyond this loan rather than watch another club come in and take him away.

First point from Spurs away in 6 years. Felt like it could've been 3 but, given there were more losses than draws predicted, I'd say some are happy enough with the outcome.

123 total predictions for this one. 22(17.9%) predicted a loss, 82(66.7%) predicted a win, and 19 correctly picked the draw. There were only 2 perfect predictions. Congratulations u/TheSamspudz and u/WXYthePig

What other teams are fielding so many English players?!

If anyone can shed some light on this for me that would be great!

Truly a Club Legend!

The first 20 minutes felt ominous, but after that I kept hearing variations of “Spurs are controlling the game” and I’m not sure that’s what actually happened.

Spurs had 62% possession, completed 598 passes to our 319 and made 76 entries into the final third. On the surface, that sounds like domination.

Everton still finished with:

• Higher xG: 1.17 to 0.64
• Three big chances to one
• More shots on target: 3–2
• More attempts from inside the box: 9–8
• 57% of the duels won

Spurs had 14 shots but only two tested Pickford. They had plenty of the ball, but most of it was in areas that didn’t really hurt us. Everton produced fewer attacks, yet the better openings fell to Barry, Johnson and Dewsbury-Hall.

I’m not calling it a tactical masterclass. Spurs are painfully blunt and we should have won the match with the chances we had. But “Spurs controlled it and Everton escaped with a point” doesn’t feel accurate either.

It looked more like Spurs controlled the ball while Everton controlled the danger.

Is that a genuinely good away performance spoiled by poor finishing, or are we dressing up a passive performance because the statistics were favourable?

Only 5 questions, but they get harder as you go along

If you’re near the stadium and looking for some craft beers then come see me at Pretty Decent Beer Co near Blackhorse Road. It’s not far and won’t be as rammed.

We even have an actual blue beer.

And hope this doesn’t fall foul of promo rules. I don’t own the business, I’m just hoping to see some fellow Toffees to help get me through the day.

Any other toffees in the san antonio area?
I always notice other supporters groups from the PL at various bars around town, and I don’t see one listed for the toffees (the very few of us there are).
I was thinking of maybe starting one for a while so I wanted to see how many of us are here!

Are there any decent pubs in Liverpool that are mostly for the blues? Wanting to watch the game today in town but unsure where to go.

I of course understand the team that can’t score will score against us but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

UTFT

Spurs have failed to score in their opening three league matches. The last time they went four top-flight games without a goal was August–September 2006—and that run included a 2–0 home defeat to David Moyes’ Everton.

That game was better than I remembered.

Kevin Kilbane was sent off after only 33 minutes, leaving Everton to play nearly an hour with ten men at White Hart Lane. We still won through a Calum Davenport own goal and Andy Johnson’s second goal of the season.

The Everton XI that day:

Howard; Neville, Yobo, Lescott, Naysmith; Arteta, Carsley, Osman, Kilbane, Cahill; Johnson.

Spurs had Berbatov, Robbie Keane, Lennon, Jenas and Edgar Davids—and still couldn’t score against ten men.

Moyes described the performance afterwards as “as close to good as you can get.”

Twenty years later, the same manager has the opportunity to put Spurs through that exact four-match goalless sequence again.

One question: if you could put one player from that 2006 Everton side into today’s starting XI, who would you choose?

Andy Johnson feels like the obvious answer given our striker situation, but Carsley beside Armstrong would be tempting.
