Everton banter 8

Have to say watched the match on tv, thought beto was really good today, except the one on one which could of cost us, but it didn't, thought second half mcneil and adrissa seem to just be jogging around but they dug in and we got 3 points the big 40 has been achieved, happy days.

28 Feb 2026 17:31:23
I think Beto's shot against the bar wouldn't have stood anyway. VAR would have said the ball was out of play leading up to the goal (which it clearly was) . The team dug in well, but I'm still scratching my head at McNeil playing for as long as he did.

Apart from the shot which Beto followed up, all I saw McNeil do was lose possession constantly, and he looked out of breath after 15 minutes. But it was a decent game. I thought Illiman was Man of the Match by a long way.

Pickford's save in injury time was out of this world. Where would we have been without him over the years? Another 3 points gained because of his brilliance.

28 Feb 2026 17:58:57
He won us 2pts with that save. The more you see it, the more impressive it is.

Just saw the goals. Are we genuinely going to give Barry credit for that last goal? It looked like he fell over, it hit him and went in. Beto reacted well for his goal, and Branthwaite had no right squeezing one in from that angle! Pickford was world class again.

It took two deflections to beat him, and that save in injury time was something else indeed. Just wished we'd do this at home and win some games in front of a full stadium.

Agree, Pickford's save in injury time was brilliant. Good win today. COYB.

The ball hit Barry last, and went in the net, so yeah, it is his goal. If he hadn't been there, we wouldn't have scored the winner. According to the Sky Sports panel, if it hadn't gone in, it would have been a penalty. We all know he's crap, but having a pop when he scores a winning goal is a bit much.

28 Feb 2026 21:05:02
Wasn't meaning it as an insult to the lad. Thought his goal against Villa was class, but this one, he (and we) got a bit lucky. It struck the back of his leg as he was on the floor.

They all count, but it didn't feel like he intended it. If he did that r often instead of his real attempts, he could get to double figures this season.

28 Feb 2026 23:49:08
I couldn't care less where the ball hits him as long as it goes in the net. If he hadn't been pushed to the ground, he would probably have tapped it into the net. Definitely a penalty if he didn't make contact with the ball.

It definitely hit him on the backside before going in. But he reacted faster than Hall, and if it didn't go in off Barry, we would've had a penalty, as he was pushed and half wrestled, causing him to fall.

So many of these posts aged well ??? love it. This is why we're football fans and Moyes is an actual qualified football manager. Set up for a 0-0 my ***
40 points in February with something to fight for UTFT ??.

28 Feb 2026 17:18:49
I agree. We moan when we lose and love them when we win. If you want bad nerves, you definitely need to support Everton.

{Ed025's Note - i actually enjoyed the game BP, we played well but think we were a bit negative second half...a bit like me mate.. :)

28 Feb 2026 17:49:33
Delighted with the win. Delighted we have reached 40 points. I feel like Moyes will now be praised for the crap selection. Too many times, his selection has resulted in disaster (mostly at home) . Why can we only win on the road? I just wish he'd kept us in a cup so we had silverware to play for.

28 Feb 2026 15:46:06
Has anyone got a tissue?

We've just scored more than one goal and
Its given me a nose bleed.

28 Feb 2026 14:51:44
Lets except a bid for mcneil and bring in George to replace him then start mcneil and leave George on the bench. back 4 total change again hope moyes knows what he is doing. I'm getting more unconvinced every week because I do think we have some half decent players if he played them in there correct position.

28 Feb 2026 14:49:03
Lol love that pal having Moyes in charge is I guess what Chinese water torture must be like ????????.

28 Feb 2026 16:03:56
I put 1.2 in my Super 6. Hope it comes in, lol. ?

28 Feb 2026 14:46:24
Well my fellow evertonians I am expecting nothing but a loss what ever happened to nothing but the best but with moyes continuing to play a CB at RB I think Moyes must be the only manager in the Premier League to get a lose bonus ???????.

28 Feb 2026 15:50:08
The teams below us are probably getting more?

Losing the will to live here.
Beto, McNeil, Gyere and O, Brian out of position yet again.
So F———predictable. Play George up front at least he can control a ball, but no we have to stick with these two clowns. So much talent going to waste to cater for Moyes chosen few. Been a fan since 1966 and the Alan Ball days but I am getting so sick and tired of the way we set up and waste talent.

Hope at the end of the season with an abundance of manager's available the Friedkins show their ambition, thank Moyes and bring in someone who can adapt and change tactics to suit the ebb and flow of the game.

28 Feb 2026 14:04:31
McNeil? Anyone want to change their prediction ?.

28 Feb 2026 13:50:56
David Moyes has once again removed all the excitement for a game, 1 hr before a ball is kicked. Hope we get a miracle, but I've forgotten the feeling of excitement watching us. McNeil over George really.
