Surely Ross Stewart has to come on at half time.

What would be the point of bringing on a centre forward given we don't have any desire nor ability to get the ball past the half way line...?

It's funny to think that despite all of his huge flaws, Martin actually had this team competing in a number of games this season

Fair play to Rusk for stopping us breaking/equalling the record, but from manager to manager we have got more and more unwatchable to the point now that I actually don't see how we could be any worse

No shots, no effort and just a complete waste of time

Much of this performance is a direct result of RM and his coaches.

We need a focal point that's why.

I agree.  I long for performances like the home performances against Chelsea and Spurs!

I genuinely hate this team, with all my being I despise them, they consume me with bitterness and venom, I hope the club under SR lose everything, the lot, as a side would Everton as a fan base accept our shit, would they ****, they'd be on the pitch causing mayhem, we mutter there's more to life and worry about the front lawn.

We're an absolute shadow of the team Martin left us. For both good and bad reasons.

I take it you won't be renewing your season ticket?

Could we maybe just not turn out for the second half and forfeit the game? Would be funny to deny them an actual victory today.

If I were Rusk I’d be going four at the back hauling off Woods, putting Les in the middle to allow Aribo to get forward. I’d haul off Sulemana and Dibling who have been shit. There’s nothing to lose, everything to gain.

But what the F do I know?

No-one would spot the difference compared with the first half...

If you think the effort is the same, you’re clueless….

The only thing that is different is the other team have scored. If that had happened in 2 or 3 of the 26 shots we gave up last week people would have questioned the effort then too.

I thought, "the monkey's off their backs now, maybe they'll play with some freedom"... instead they are making it quite clear that as a squad, they collectively could not give a shit, have zero respect for the badge or fans, and are intent to just walk around on the pitch for their pay cheque and exit stage left in the summer.

Absolutely disgraceful performance.

For much of that half we played perfect Russball - taking needless risks with trying to pass out from the back, walking football when in possession and playing backward passes when in advanced positions, no threat going forward. The Russ hangover persists and let's hope the new manager can preside over a total reset.

Nice one Rusk. Play with no striker. No shots in the entire half and 2 down playing the most defensive shit ever. Everton aren’t even playing well. 
 

Absolute shit show of a performance. Change it now, coz you can’t make it worse. 
 

Abject.

Utterly utterly pathetic, cannot even do the basics like mark your opponent and then just watch him run unopposed into the area.

Will end up 4 or 5

Yep. Fuck you Russell Martin for starting this charade.
Fuck you SR for being impotent to do anything to remedy it.
Fuck off you millionaire cunts in our colours who don't care because you are golden regardless

And finally, fuck off Adam Lallana. Just because. That Rat re-signing set the immediate tone for a shit smear of a season.

Thank goodness I'm the only person in the pub watching the game, and I'm definitely wondering why I am.

Gutless, effortless incompetence, and it's like we're playing with no centre backs. We don't press, no balls over the top, no shots, no movement off the ball, no support when a player does venture forward, slow playing about the back and then an over ambitious long pass to a marked player.

Just aaaargh.

Nice pint of Harvey's though..

In Wood, we have amazingly managed to unearth a CB who is worse than anything we already had 

Just like we managed to unearth  managers who are worse than we had before every time

Let’s be honest, the vast majority of us thought we’d lose today, and fairly comfortably, but to just come here as sitting ducks and just be there for the taking with zero effort or care just sums this lot up. The low standards currently at this club are fucking sickening. Clearly the players think it’s job done for the season now after getting that point last week, so they can return to be as shit and putting in as little effort and desire as possible now for the remaining 2 games. 
That first half is worse than any league 2 side would’ve produced in this game. Absolute insult yet again to the travelling fans

You are totally clueless. Both goals were the result of half arsed defending, bottle jobs. They didn’t defend like that last week. 
 

You don’t half come out with some old pony.

It's a party at Goodison Park and we have done our bit to create the carnival atmosphere. Who else would have made their last game at the stadium so easy to enjoy?
