Thank you to TFG for investing the required funding to bring players to the club that are no better than what we had

I`m not either Brian but he was clearly our best player yesterday. Some have got it in for him though mate,regardless of how he performs. It`s embarrassing to see posters so blind to it they post foolish snippets of the couple of mistakes he made rather than assess him on his overall performance.

I`m still trying to work out why he brought Norgaard on when we needed a goal. Anyone? Please don`t reply saying it was to allow the rest of the midfield to get further forward. That didnt` happen. Got some pace the lad though,looked like he was running through treacle in the centre circle when he tried to recover.

You are right. 51.900 in the ground who thought he had a good game were wrong. Its getting personal now with Tarkowski and you.

I am not his biggest fan but I thought Tarkowski was our best player closely followed by Mykolenko. dont know how you give Rohl 4 he was as much to blame as NM for their opening goal never tracked his man. Moyes said Norgaard was not up to full fitness yet brings him on when we are chasing the game and leaves Hackney on the bench. I wonder what Hackney and Dibbling have to do to get any game time. This is a team heading in the wrong direction and although I wanted him back Moyes is losing the fan base very quickly and its only because what has happened in the transfer window and the owners wanting to sell that is keeping the pressure off Moyes for now.

Garner hasn’t got up to form post injury. He’s having a poor time of it,but he’s not alone. AMN looks weak. Johnson non existent. Barry is Barry, another sitter yesterday at 0-0.

Once again not all subs used. 2-0 down, nothing working but that negative stubborn bastard will not change anything. We had about 15 minutes after the 2nd goal and he could have brought on Dibling,Alcaraz or Hackney but no. Brings on a totally unfit defensive midfielder. What was the point of that. Even when losing, Moyes can’t stand the thought of having a go. If I was Dibling, I’d just demand a move. He has wasted a season already with us and this season looks.like going the same way for him. Hackney, new signing and can’t get a run either. Without rotation, this small squad will be on its knees by xmas. Barry is crap. Drop him until he learns to put the ball in the net.

Agree with that Mark. MOTM for me

Moyes first thought and plan is to contain. We were more concerned about an ordinary Chelsea, than we were about setting Everton up to win. It’s always thus.

I go to the game now with very little expectation of being entertained or excited, our football over a number of seasons has become sterile and boring. Yesterday was another example of this yes Chelsea have some very good players but they have also conceded practically the most goals in the league yet we barely tested their keeper and even when Martinez was replaced we still didnt have any shots on target. I remember when Harvey took over as first team coach and the first thing he did was to push them 10 yards further upfield and thats exactly what needs to happen to this team. Neither Armstrong or Garner are ever in the opponents box and so far neither have scored a goal. So they dont score Grealish, Johnson, George dont score many so who is going to score the goals and please dont mention Barry he would strugle in league 1. We are at home and we are playing a midfield player out wide how negative can you be.

Sick and tired of Moyes negativity and lack of action. Substitutions always too late and less than the 5 allowed. Also fed up with our fans who leave early no matter what the score or how long ET there is. We should support the team and the players to the final whistle of every game.

Replying to myself but it’s like the players aren’t being made aware of how important things like shape and starting positions are, no wonder we couldn’t get a foothold in the middle of the pitch, once Chelsea took the lead

If 4/10 flattered Tarkowski, then I don’t think anyone can complain about Michael’s, very low ratings! There were times during the second half yesterday that I was looking at our back four and they looked like those old dot to dot pictures, and there were times when I looked at how we were set-up across the middle of the pitch equally bemused. No togetherness, every man for himself, we all see different things.

Not many people get an apology off Michael, Rocco!

For clarity I’m looking forward to the day when O’Brien and Branthwaite are our regular centre backs with decent full backs either side. I just think Tarkowski deserved more marks than any other Everton player yesterday.

Helo michael can i ask do you go to the game or just sit in your house like the Telepudlians . Well you say ANM was caught out on the stroke of half time for the goal . Well not in the stadium i was watching the game come on michael if you can’t get simple things right whats the point .

Yes I think it was a frustrating day for most of us although I wasn’t at the game it still frustrated the life out of me watching it on my iPad. By the way Micheal there is no thread on Moyes thoughts of the game — was he frustrated or too embarrassed to talk about it?

Ten of the best Bob ? Was that Barney Lane a borstal ?

It’s a whole team thing Mark, movent, midfielders getting in there and beyond Barry. Jack’s just 1 of a few that have to do better in my view

Well done Rocco travelling from so far and glad you are showing your appreciation for the magnificent stadium and the staff inside, it’s a pity you didn’t see what would have made it a really happy day. Maybe next time— best wishes and I hope you can come a few times in the future if you can afford it!

Mark there is a lack of movement right through the team it’’s emphasised by Grealish.

If you buy a right back from Farm Foods, dont be complaining about the quality. The lad is garbage. He might have scored against United, and that will be good enough for many. But he is poor player. Constantly out of position and makes poor decisions. Some were asking for Norguard to start. Forget it, he was way off it. Him chasing around Palmer carrying around a sack of potatoes was embarrassing. Johnson & Barry have got to score those chances. As poor as the game/we were, they were two very presentable chances. The two goals, I think mykolenko needs to do better. Closing out and not moving to the ball on the free kick, is yet another pathetic attempt by the Ukrainian. The team cannot play through a press. There was a 15 minute spell where we couldn’t get the ball or get out of our final third. It happens way too often. Id like to see some of those ref decisions again. Armstrong looked ok, Morgan rogers looked like a 2nd yellow, and Palmer got away with one as well?

Pathetic indeed but…………………PATHETIC management by Moyes. At home – he plays for a draw, Disgraceful and a really bad message to the players even before the game begins. Time to get some balls Moyes and perhaps go see a Psycho Analyst to help you get a gram of positive in your F******g head.

Well micheal i think the 1st half was poor by both teams and probaly we had the best chance . But also refs can change games and if rogers goes we come out 11 v 10 and probaly go on and win the game so my look on the game we wern’t good but i dont think chelsea where much better it was a poor game .

This is what happens when you go out to get a draw instead of a win. It is so childish. Moyes should be given 10 of the best with the cane like I got at Barney Lane Moreton back in ’55.

I’m sorry Rocco

First properly decent team we play and we don’t get a look in. Our erm ‘undefeated’ record was a shell built on happy fixtures. Chelsea had not had a clean sheet for 36 years. Grealish was shite today. He needs to be dropped. He lost possession 14 times. Should have been subbed. Felt sorry for Norgaard who is nowhere near fit. Down to you Moyes. Barry missing another sitter. How the fuck was he not subbed around ’60? Johnson or Alcaraz were options. Garner? Slow passes, right to left, left to right.. But yet again Moyes’s subs were shocking and we were worse for them and we did not even threaten Chelsea in 11 added minutes when they changed goalies. Moyes brings on Norgaard and HH and TD sat on the bench as usual. Any bright spots? Mykolenko and Tarkowski for me. Three games now when the other lot scored early in the second half. This is us, not the squeaky XI who beat mighty Ipswich and Palace. Strap in. Cross your fingers. Take rosary beads to Arsenal. Up the Toffees!

Yep, away to Arsenal, just the sort of soft touch we require to get back on the horse

Moyes ain’t for turning, it’s Barry as the lone ranger upfront.

Think the manager will make significant changes for Arsenal away – not: Pickford Maitland-Niles Tarkowski Branthwaite Mykolenko Garner Armstrong Johnston Dewsbury-Hall Grealish Barry George on 65th minute for Johnston Hackney and O’Brien on 88th Minute for Armstrong and Maitland-Niles. Dibling and Alcaraz get another excellent opportunity to watch and learn what it takes to be an Everton player.

Basically, I think Chelsea just have better footballers than us. I’m not a Moyes fan but Im not sure if he’d played Hackney, Dibling or whoever, it would have made too much difference. My frustrations are with the players. Barry, bless him, will never make a footballer. He tried controlling the ball on his thigh, his chest, and his feet but every time the ball just bounced away. Chelsea full backs managed to kill the ball easily enough. Despite this, our only route of attack is a cross to ….. Barry. In my view, it’s better to drop him and try to score by playing proper footy though defences, rather than over them. My final whinge is Garner, who I realise has many fans in these columns. But not for me. He’s very negative goinng forward, side and back passing is what I see. And his free kicks and corners are close to pathetic. Do we not have anyone else who can kick a dead ball to where we want it to go?

Hes got pace Norgaard. Reminiscent of a young Usain Bolt

But he’s never been sent off.

Think there are some harsh comments about Grealish and Dewsbury-Hall. Grealish gave his full-back a work-out in the first half but we didn’t really put him under the cosh after he picked up a yellow. Chelsea seem to have worked out how to get their array of talent to come together as a proper team. Moyes said the right things after the game which makes his choices on substitutions really puzzling. Norgaard was obviously expected to somehow start bossing the midfield and spraying passes everywhere! Very alarming how slow he was – can only hope it was because he is under-cooked as some are saying. George needed to knock and run more often but it does seem like the head of steam he had a while ago has dissipated during his bench duty. I presume Hackney and Alcaraz have already got their agents putting out the feelers.

Chelsea showed us were we are we still have no right back, ridiculous excuse for a center forward and midfield players except for hackney that are grafters or work horses that are not going to open up other teams with there skill or technique. Moyes has no choice but to be cautious, if we try and go toe to toe with teams we will get destroyed. We have 2 decent defenders, midfield players who will run and chase but cant do nothing with the ball when they get it, one half decent winger but no longer has the pace to be troublesome and a forward who takes 5% of his chances and cant read the game not the team you would say ok lets go and attack teams.

Hey David, the stadium is truly beautiful. The crowd was a bit quiet, but that’s perhaps understandable—the frustrations and disappointments of recent times have really taken their toll. Even so, the trip to Liverpool was—and remains—worth every penny to me!

1 dimensional, dinosaur Davy Moyes is the problem

You know you’ve got problems when your MF looks like those statues on Crosby Beach and they’re making Henderson ffs look like Pirlo. But it seems Moyes can’t see it. Without runners to over and under-lap him, Grealish is an expensive luxury. Garner is just running about like a blue arsed fly. KDH & Armstrong are trying to fill the spaces that Garner just left as he runs around like a demented Jack Russell snapping at everybody’s heals and generally getting in the way Barry is totally isolated and thus looks worse than he actually is…which is bad enough on its own. The whole Balance of the team is wrong. Wrong front to back Wrong left to right with Grealish drawing everything over to him like some monstrous footballing black hole. This leaves AMNs minder Rohl isolated on the right, not only having to play infront of AMN but having to cover vast swathes of the pitch consisting of a triangle from Barry to the corner flag and back to AMN.

Like you called this one, Mr Steers? “Well I believe Everton have a very good chance of 3 pts — you see we are okay at managing games and we will dictate the pace and tempo of the game for sure.” What an absolute joke. We did nothing of the sort. “You see, we all know our team are fighters and can also play a bit.” I think you should tell Moyes that. He thinks they are only fit to defend… and when they go behind, well… forget it.

Sorry, Rocco. I can see what you meant now.

4. The stadium staff were all very friendly and showed great patience in answering our questions. Okay, the police officers outside the stadium didn’t want to take a photo with me, but that’s fair enough! 😉 5. It was a shame to see many spectators leaving before the final whistle. I’m not sure if that was due to disappointment or traffic concerns (we arrived from Everton via Uber). In summary: apart from the match result, it was a fantastic experience in a beautiful stadium. And we will definitely be back.

Our first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium: 1. We were absolutely impressed by the architecture and the beautiful design. The incorporation of original elements from the docks was particularly striking. The stadium is a place that constantly offers the eye something new and exciting. Added to this is its connection to the water—entirely fitting for a city like Liverpool. 2. Our visit to Goodison Park two years ago was equally impressive. You don’t find stadiums like “The Grand Old Lady” in Germany. I imagine that, in time, the Hill Dickinson will also be steeped in history—after all, it does preserve some of the legacy of Goodison Park. 3. Another impressive aspect: the stadium is actually finished! Coming from a country where building an airport for the capital takes over 14 years, this is truly remarkable.

Ian Norgard came on for Armstrong . Johnson came on for Grealish dont post if you dont know the facts. Oh did u go the game or was it your firestick

“Grealish yet to really create much” He’d have 3 assists already if he’d put them on a plate for anyone else but Barry!

People slagged me when.i said 40mill.will never be seen again well unless he has a twin just like Tom Davies you wont see 40 or even 20 again

I called that one rhol and also.told everyone 20 mins is enough for George sorry im wrong on George i should of said 10 absolute useless

Hey Michael, Nørgaard… lost in translation… What I meant was, why did Moyes bring on a defensive player like Nørgaard? We were trailing at that point, and it wouldn’t have mattered if we conceded another goal.

Yeah mate, Hackney was the obvious change.

I think if you look back i called him there on the right wing

Not the result we all wanted Rocco. Hope you enjoyed your trip though mate. What did you think of the stadium and matchday experience? Obviously the performance wasn’t fitting of the effort you put in to be there!!
