Am I the only one that thinks Doherty looks like Michael Carrick? 
Not watching the game so can't comment if it's true but from what i'm reading Spurs are just waiting to counter attack all the time? Gary Neville says their midfield is having no influence at all. Or is it that Everton are actually pretty good?
You're probably right but currently, I think if you were to ask most Everton fans who their best player was, he'd certainly be up there.
Why take a short?
Why would you pass there?!
Was obviously going to be the last play before HT

Son
Time for a rousing Harry Kane team talk.
Gary Neville
Because Jose didn’t want to risk a counter attack and his team getting “fcuked”. He’s thinking outside the box. Literally.
Richarlison is our best player but that’s the caf for you. Miss one chance and you’re suddenly Freddy Adu.
Surely they don’t have showers at half time?
Wtf is that on Alli’s chin
Nonsense, Tottenham have had most of the possession. The last 15 mins has mostly been in Everton's half.
Jose has successfully turned spurs into a counter attacking side.
That was so stupid by Son at the end. Ridiculous. Time for Kane to let him know who’s boss with 200 inaudible words mixed with some f-words thrown in there.
Otherwise, Spurs have been quite shit and Everton decent. James motm by a mile so far.

James and Allan both have looked pretty good.
Spurs have no control in midfield but the front 3 are doing decently well. Doherty looks a solid addition.

Very flat performance from both teams so far. James has been pretty anonymous.
tumescent half of football by two managers who don't belong in the modern game
For Everton if ever a side was setup to play 442 diamond it's them. Waste of time Richarlison and James playing wide. James needs to be in the hole feeding Richarlison and DCL

Its not about it being easier. Its not a natural part of the game. Its an easy way for players to stat pad and doesn't show any brilliance during the game. Tap ins still require you to be in the right position. Vardy did feck all and has scored two goals.
How dare youAm I the only one that thinks Doherty looks like Michael Carrick?
Apart from the Pool-Leeds game I have not really enjoyed any games so far.
Feel so flat without any crowd. Teams are also not fully ready for a new season.

Jose: "You've be to be feckers. Be cnuts. Stop being good boys"
James was probably the best player on the pitch that half.
Tim Cahill has just called Richarlison a "world class player". Hilarious.
The modern game = Football from the last 5 years?
Which game are you watching?
It's been pretty much end to end, and James is actually playing quite well.
Everton controlling the midfield but struggling to get it to the forwards in good positions, their best chance has still been the one from an opposition backpass. Spurs making the better opportunities with their counters
Hes not the captain, finished the half well, hopefully take in on to the second.
Yes.Am I the only one that thinks Doherty looks like Michael Carrick?
But he does have a slightly sinister look. I think it's the shaven low hairline.
You can see Rodriguez is going to come good at Everton. £20m ffs!
Feel like they start every game with the intention of turning it into a battle, and only if they win it do they consider playing football
Just saw half time highlights, Richarlison miss woeful.
Why aren't Spurs players playing Kane in, didn't look happy.

Probably more like the last five minutes.The modern game = Football from the last 5 years?
Spurs have had 48% possession and had 33% in the first 20 mins.
He will probably have a Bojan-like mini revival and then fade off terribly.You can see Rodriguez is going to come good at Everton. £20m ffs!
Allan will be a class addition to the Everton midfield. Totally in control and dictating things when they're on the ball. James showed his class but didn't assert himself on the game as much as he needs to. He is wasted out wide, in my opinion - need him a little more central where he can feed the strikers more easily. Spurs look like a classic Jose team. Solid defensively, no midfield presence at all, but extremely dangerous on the counter. Game could go either way.
Ok time for Jose to call them out for being too nice
Nah, he'll probably stand out like a sore thumb as he's that good but when the crowds come back, he'll most likely go up another gear.
Lets see when the weather gets worse. He didn't like the cold in MunichYou can see Rodriguez is going to come good at Everton. £20m ffs!
