After Arsenal match, many we're buzzing and excited.
Last night, just nowt.
I know team weighting is a factor like but we were quite poor last night so to get a draw, was decent.

Can't argue with that,even at 2-1 I'd have took a point, Everton are a decent team, yes we didn't play well but I thought it was a point gained rather than 2 points dropped.
 
rather than just 'not played well' i thought it was more a failure to control the midfield and keep the ball, and thus letting evertons excellent creative midfield do it instead - i thought some of our play when we did have the ball was good, some really pacey attacking - and of course the defenders had to do their main job well as most of the clearances went straight to blue shirts
 
...The obvious difference being against Arsenal we scored late on (ok VERY late on) ....and last night Everton scored late on - so of course the reaction to that sort of draw is different!

It was a very good point last night.

Any other time you concede a 83rd minute equaliser you'd be gutted, I was hapy with the point.
 
Happy with the point. We'll do well to finish above Everton & if we do we'll be top eight at least.

My thoughts exactly
 
i thought everton were very good last night and dominated the middle of the park.
On the balance of play i am more than happy with a point.
 
Agree with that.

One of these days Everton will stop giving everyone else 10 games start.

Definitely. How many of our players would get into their best XI? Not many, I reckon. I'd say they are the 6th best team in the league, so a point is very handy.
 
Too many people have let themselves be fooled by Everton's and our false positions. They're a decent team and played well, we're a decent team and played ok in bits and pieces. I was happy with the draw, it's a point gained where really we shouldn't have gotten anything so you can't complain imho. If we keep doing it the rest of the season we'll be laughing.

We now look capable of getting goals and creating even when we're not at our best which is encouraging. Previous campaigns, not playing well meant we might as well have gone home at half time.
