JPM is in the kind of form in front of goal that gave Edouard his chance, some of his misses have been horrendous. This game should have been put away long before the penalty, let alone the winner.

We should have put the game to bed. JPM wasn’t great but the general team performance wasn’t all that bad. They came out aggressively in the second half and robbed a win, but our defence play was pretty solid Kamada and Wharton were both excellent.
In a pub after the game an Everton fan said we had battered them and we did. All the compliments from their fans doesn’t help feeling gutted about a game we threw away.
Their stadium is very good.

You could argue it was the ref that cost us giving that iffy pen for a start and Grealish should have been sent off with a second yellow card.

We are a team of very talented players but what we seem to be lacking is that special someone with the ruthless killer instinct. The number of chances that are being created is excellent but the finishing does not match. This was evident in this game and the last two. If we could solve that problem we would be unbeatable.

Had we scored all we should have done we would still be on an unbeaten run; had we scored all we could have done we would be second in the table.
Especially as it was that t*** Tarkowski, who bizarrely has never sent off
TBF Ithought it was a penalty. However there was something very odd about how he constantly penalised Wharton.
Read his WIKI are we really that short of refs that he has not been sacked?

The last 10 years against these scabby c****. Btw "W" means a "L" for us
You can't make that up, it's worse than our record v Spurs. At least v Villa we play them off the park, with this lot it doesn't matter. We've handed them 57 out of a possible 66 points!!!! If they played us every week they would be double winners. in all but one season, which they'd only win the title.

I seem to remember the FA cup win happened during an Everton Frank Lampard doom spiral.

I remember a Friday night away game and I’m sure we beat them 3-1 with Zaha and Bolassie running riot
We played as well in the first half today as we have all season.
We were threatening every time we attacked including from long throw ins.
Henderson was largely a spectator and Wharton, Pino and Munoz were outstanding.
However, as the second half progressed our performance levels dropped off significantly.
Some of this can be attributed to the Everton tactical changes and heightened intensity.
We lost control of the game, not helped by the missing of glaring opportunities.
In conclusion, a performance that was simultaneously encouraging and disappointing with uktimately a sucker punch.
Forget Brighton, I want us to beat Everton.

First 70 mins today was as good as first half vs the much better other scousers . Wharton and kamada ran the show. Then they both got tired. We missed some great chances. We were miles better than our bogey team. It was a great game. Onto the next one. We will definitely need reinforcements in January ( or academy prospects start to deliver). Guehi was magnificent. COYP!
Wharton ran the show.
Was it? Looked like he punched him in guts. I thought he got saved because there wasn't a better angle and Tarkowski stayed on his feet. If that had been Grealish he'd be rolling around on the floor and I reckon Uche goes.
Garner got a yellow didnt he?

As they say you learn more in defeat.
Need to rotate more in the midweek games and put our chances away. Maybe that extra running after the red card made us a bit extra tired?
Also don't rile up the home crowd like pino did.

We need our midfielders to score. According to the stats on the tab above Wharton, Kamada, Lerma and Hughes have scored 2 in 297 games between them.
Got a bit of time today, so my thoughts for what they're worth:
Henderson - 6. Didn't do much wrong, but also can't deny they scored two goals from about two shots.
Munoz - 8. A constant threat in possession and such a key part of what we're about. Well taken goal.
Richards - 6. Solid enough...not much asked of him but passing and distribution much improved from this time a year ago - worth acknowledgement.
Lacroix - 5. Would've been a 6 as well, but have to lose a point for the silly challenge in the box.
Guehi - 7. A quiet night defensively, but starts so many attacks with incisive passes into the mids.
Mitchell - 6. A pretty quiet evening...nothing good or bad of note really.
Wharton - 9. MOTM. Outstanding displace of craft, guile and also aggression in the absence of his more naturally-aggressive partner. Ran the show with intelligent switches of play and teasing through-balls.
Kamada - 6. Nothing really of note. Couple of nice passes, but also caught out a couple of times. Buzzed around a bit without much impact.
Pino - 8. Looks quality. Should've had a couple of assists but for better finishing. Energetic, creative and getting better as time goes on.
Sarr - 7. Top assist, but otherwise pretty quiet night.
Mateta - 4. Love him...but not his night tonight. Let the team down with poor finishing. Always a handful for defences and a great target man to hold up play...but we need him finding the target more.
SUBS: 5. Generally didn't make much impact...and happened too late into the piece.
Cheers 🙂
