Performance pleased me apart from the fact that we conceded sloppily again and apart from a lucky deflection we couldnt score either.
This.
Yes it was another good performance for the most part, but again we have shot ourselkves in the foot byt conceeding a shocking goal with another stupid lapse in concentration that should not happen. Zamora wasn't even looking at Distan, who was also goal side of him...wtf! To make it worse what was he doing trying to call and hold the line, which im 99.99% certain wouldn;t have been a task given to him in training, and therefore, he should know others will be workign to somethign different and playing his man on. Ridiculous.
There was also another shocking lapse in the 2nd half when Everton had a free kick near the left touchline not far from halfway and everyone turned their backs allowing Everton to play it quick down the line to Baines to easily get to the edge of our box and cross.... this could have cost us also.
Until we cut out the stupid stuff we will continue to struggle to win games.
Overall though, yes a very good performance, albeit without a cutting edge.
Darren, no I'm not and I don't want to cry over this as nothing can be done now. I'm looking at it from a point of view that I would have taken the point before kick off.
We should have taken all 3 points with them down to 10, however sometimes it's harder to play against 10 men.

This is very true.
When teams lose a player they automatically go into ultra defend mentality and often have all 10 playuers behind the ball or condensed in their half making it harder to break down than a side wih 11 playing 2 high up the pitch and actively breaking in numbers ready to be picked off on the counter.

Don't forget to factor in our small pitch too, makes it even tougher to break them down. I predicted a draw, and am happy with a draw myself.

well put mate we are improving game by game the 2nd half at WBA was an improvement.
And maybe when the defence keeps free from injury and we get a settled back four, that improvement will come and they'll be fewer soft goals against us?
