A penalty and an added time (come from behind) winner!!!

Is this a new Everton?

Question would be whose place he took in starting XI 🤷🏻‍♂️

Alcaraz has been excellent from the moment he came on.
Set a totally different tone to the first half

Not this modern version based around pace in transition

Rodger @rodgerarmstrong.bsky.social · 3d

That’s been coming for ages; so much space in midfield.
Really poor first half from the Blues

Everton’s deficiencies are causing growing problems

Really disappointing display, especially after taking the lead: Beto woeful, Barry (did he even touch the ball?). Very little football played, for large parts schooled by an average (at best) West Ham.

Two most expensive signings (him & Dibling) can’t make the starting XI 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Rodger @rodgerarmstrong.bsky.social · 9d

You wonder about the wisdom of spending £25m on Barry when Beto is keeping him out of the side.

The concept is fine; it’s the morons at Stockley Park who are the problem

One team a blend of skills, experience & character from a range of countries well prepared, professional & calmly led.
The other an arrogant group of tub thumping, fist pumping robots spurred on by beer swilling jingoism and verbal abuse disguised as banter.
