Spurs vrs Everton - 13:30

gosplan

Hard to call.

Erikson to make the difference IMO.

Looks like a draw, Spurs under Sherwood have flattered to deceive so far - good against weak sides poor enough against the rest. They also leak goals. Everton have no Lukaku but I think Deforbarcaguy back.

DyldeBrill

Hoping for a spurs win here but it will be tough. Glad to have Vert properly back cemented in the first team after injury, only thing that worries me is Dawson and his pace. It will be interesting to see who starts in the CM position. I myself would rather Sherwood went with Dembele and Paulinho and leave Benteleb on the bench. I just feel more experience is needed in that area or the park.

Johner

Should be a good game and I'll be backing the draw.

A boring nil nil please.

4231 with eriksen out wide?

Looks like Everton are going with Naismith up top on his own. I wouldn't be a fan of that at all to be honest.

I haven't been a huge fan of Naismith myself, like most Everton fans I think at times, he's a bit of a headless chicken. But he works hard and he chips in with a few goals. Everton don't have much options up front either.

draw please

davycc

great to see coleman back from injury from an irish perspective....not great for spurs though lets hope he has a quiet game

This is where the difficulty comes in for clubs who exploit the loan system.

Lukaku, one of Everton's best players this season, will be off in the summer and Everton will be left with Naismith and Kone as their only permanent strikers. It'll cost a lot to replace his contribution.

Same goes for Gareth Barry.

great save lorris

wake up spurs ffs such a slow start

Isn't Barry's contract up in the summer? So he will be on a free in the summer.

Lloris is a great shot stopper.

Aye, but it is being widely reported that Arsenal want him in the summer. He'll go there over Everton if it's true.

daws an lloris in sh1te shocker

What the hell is this no goal shit? 20 mins in.

Shocking.

Spurs have been awful going forward.

and just as aweful at the back too.. our home form is pathetic:o

davycc

great ball from rose there -unlucky ade

davycc

aw lennon you should be leaving jaglika for dead there in a straight run

Richard Hillman

This is awful stuff. No goals, no intensity, no atmosphere, not even any decent football being played.

Professional Griefer

Pass the ball ffs, that was a decent chance

davycc

daws is a 2nd rate has been-cant defend to save his life-giving away free kicks dangerous areas for the craic..the sooner kaboul is back the better

Knex*

Bentaleb may very well turn out to be a good player, but right now he should not be starting ahead of Capoue.

Grayditch

Everton putting in a fair bit of work, but Spurs could catch them on the counter. Not the most electrifying half. Some awful ball retention.

SantryRed

Awful half. Other than the opening 10, it was been piss poor.

DyldeBrill

Paulinho is absolutely non existent as is Lennon. I expect Townsend to replace Lennon at some stage. Dawson has been dodgey too. I just don't understand why Sherwood doesn't opt for Kaboul who is an all round better player.

davycc

ah i wish i knew wtf is going on in Timmays head. he must see as different daws and walker in training every day to keep picking them..:o:o

Kyle Walker summed up

DyldeBrill

We can give about Walker all we want but would people honestly rather Naughton playing there?

at right back yea i would:)

would rather just play with 10men than let naughton play LB though:p

davycc

walker 100 pl aps today and still cant beat the first man when "crossing" the ball.
:rolleyes:

Paully D

5 times I've counted now that Walker has broke forward, Adebayor has made a nice run off the defender, and Walker has failed to either see him or make the pass. Must be infuriating for a striker.

If Distin and Baines were playing for Spurs he'd be having a cracking day. SHocking end product.

davycc

he scores when he wants!!!

Mars Bar

Undeserved in the grand scheme of the game but deserved for the cheekiness of it.
Adebayor still had a lot to do with that when it came to him so that was a great finish.

You really do have to wonder what goes through the heads of players like Walker, Nani etc. If they didnt have such good eye to foot coordination they would be screwed in life. Probably eaten by wolves or jumping off a bridge in a "necknomination".

These were the type of guys that the generals used to send into battle first how the oppositions archers would use up their bows. Now they are millionaires. The world has gone mad.

Paully D

The Everton player who virtually tee'd the ball up for Walker there should be given a bollocking. Didn't quite catch who it was but it looked like Barry?

davycc

capoue on to shore up our midfield for the brutal paulinho

ctrl-alt-delete

Everton back with 11 men now.

davycc

jermaine defoe-easy oh!

Lucas Hood

Some weird subs by Sherwood in this game.

Bentaleb doesn't look like he has a clue how to play out on the wing. Walker had to tell him where to stand a minute ago.

Will I Amnt

Seen them given. Silly tackle.

davycc

capoue got lucky that was a stonewall peno for everton

davycc

defoe going close !
