Everton look totally comfortable to me, we can’t get anything into their penalty area with any quality on it.

Get in!!!!!!

YES!!

Thanks for Brennan Johnson, without him we’d be nowhere. 2-2.

Really can’t afford to concede again. 3 points would be massive but one is better than nothing after being behind

This ref is making some bizarre decisions too

It’s certainly not dull at the WFCG, these days.

How good is Felipe! Can we keep him?

We did actually sign. Felipe on an 18 month deal.

Oh really? Excellent

Shelvey massively dipped 2nd half but when he’s fit he’ll be quality. Especially with Yates back

How has Dennis not been booked there as well?

I think we were actually quite fortunate to end up with a point, we need to improve dramatically to stay up. Again Our home form is going to be crucial.

Just about deserved it but we have big issues don’t we? Other teams would have taken us apart. Thankfully Johnno was on fire today. MGW was ok at times but gave it away too much. Worrall and Felipe both very good at back. But we are not clever enough with the ball in midfield. Can’t just expect Johnson to do it all

Spurs and Newcastle next. Really needed the 3 points today

Decent enough. Forest look like they’re going to make this nervy for the rest of the season, not that I was expecting this to be easy. Defenders need to stay switched on. Good performance Brennan

Where is lingard? Wasn’t he on the bench? Dennis is woeful, almost pointless him playing really.

Decent point considering but can’t keep defending the way we do. We consistently look like we have 10 men! We will get minimal (if any points away from home) so need to rely on horn form.

I think we will struggle to stay up but it will be close. Yates back is a massive massive bonus. We looked so much better with him in there. Hopefully that can be the difference.

Dennis wasn’t great but not sure it was the game for Lingard either. He’s basically back up for MGW and showed he can’t play on wing in this formation. Yates was biggest positive. I just worry about our away form and the teams we have to play at home. A win today would have given some real breathing space. Just got to hope teams like Palace and Leicester get dragged back into the relegation fight with us

We have Newcastle, Wolves, Brighton, Man U, Arsenal and Southampton to come at home, i struggle to see us getting double figures points wise from that set of fixtures. If we don’t get as many points away from home as we do at home, i doubt we’ll stay up, but agree it will be very nervy and close, right to the last day at Palace, who may well be in the mix.

Today felt like a missed opportunity. First half we were poor, second half we were the better team. We looked better after SC made his substitutions.
The defence was panicking in the first half. Felipe was really good after the break. After our subs came on we had more players going forward and looked like scoring more.
Good to see Yates back on the pitch. He looked like he had lost weight, but made a big difference. I think we need to play 4-2-3-1. Yates and Shelvey in front of th back 4; Johnson, MGW, Ayew/Lingard/Scarpa/Dennis behind striker Awoniyi/Surridge/Dennis/Wood.

Don’t like to single out players for criticism but Wood was poor today. Didn’t move much, didn’t win many headers.

Ref was poor. We had better in Championship.

If Johnson or MGW are out for more than an odd game or two we will be in trouble

Spurs play AC Milan on Wednesday night. Let’s hope it goes into ET.

I thought Wood was better, but still poor.

I also thought their 2nd goal shouldn’t have happened. It was a clear pull on MGWs shirt and should have gone the other way. The ref was hopeless.

Looking at the form table there is only Wolves and possibly West Ham who look on the up. The rest around us are doing just as poorly as we have over the last six.

With Yates back and Awoniyi / Niakhate to follow we’ll
start climbing that table soon enough.
