We played nice stuff and looked a good match for them at time. But with hardly many clear cut chances or testing Pickford (who did what he needed to with the save from Eciso)
Red card killed chances of a come back
Vulnerable to prem teams who are so clinical. We give enough chances away each game to expect to concede at least once each game. Taking the McKenna prem season approach - will it work this time. Only time will tell. Win against Fulham and it will be a fair strategy.
Ouattara should start at right back for the next game I’d assume. |  | | |  |

I thought we were better at the back today until we went down to ten. Then it was a free for all which actually played into our hands to an extent. I was more disappointed with us going forward. |  |

Have to temper that with that Everton have a pretty poor attack and their strength is getting back in numbers and solidity
I thought our attacking patterns gave Everton more problems that they were expecting. But just really crowed out clear final balls / shooting chances (unlike palace)
Conversely they still had some good chances that other teams with more attacking talent would have made more off (in my view less because our defence were markedly better tbh) just my assessment [Post edited 19 Sep 17:17]

Our first massive VAR favour today. | | | |

They have Dewsbury Hall, Grealish, Johnson and Barry in attacking areas - that's a decent attack at this level. It's what filled me with concern more than their back line at kick off, and why I thought a point would be a good result.
Whilst they are good defensively, I thought Clarke, Enciso and Emmerson were very disappointing today and cost us at least a point, as better play would have seen us equalise before the red card. Annoyingly, Fatawu was the best of the attacking four before he got himself sent off. | |

Completely agree. On balance and after the red card (no complaints there), Everton deserved the win. We also for once benefitted from a VAR call.
We move on. This is one of those fixtures where we were capable to getting something, but ultimately missed some chances. Everton are just tough to play against as well. Uninspiring but effective side. | | | |

Would have been very hard on them if we had forced a goal, they missed at least 3 very good chances to score, hopefully we will improve at the back with this defence. There were better signs today. All in all 6 points , placed in 11th , something to build on , hopefully we come back in 3 weeks as a better unit and a fully fit squad. |  | | |

Played well in patches especially at start of 2nd. Should have been level at least.
Enciso despite all his talents needs to understand this is a team game.
The amount of diving in this league that goes unpunished would p*ss you off when you see one of our players sent off for it. |  | | |

Fancy a good result vs Fulham at home if we play with much of our approach today.
Would be very happy if we got 3 pts between those two games.
The GON style so far (of taking each game toe to toe) puts a bit of pressure onto getting points at home and boucebackability | | | |

thought we were too passive and slow when breaking and with our passing , gave Everton bags of time to get back into defensive positions and of course then they are very hard to break down. | | | |

They were not clinical today, think they should have had 3 to be honest, that’s a worry still. |  |

Yep they should have by at least 3 clear goals and it would not have flattered them. Pretty much a stroll in the park for them today. | | | |

Clinical probably the wrong word. Incisive might be better.
But we can be sure plenty of other teams will be both. Thinking Brighton for example. | | | |

Johnson has to score that first chance and Barry missed a huge header first half as well, a few others second half more than decent half chances.
The first early chance actually came from Walton putting it aerially to our 5ft winger.
Considering all that happened beforehand, it would have been massive to nick a late point.
You could tell the different between a Moyes side and Palace last week though | |
