A couple of thoughts on the game,

First half we just looked lost, players didn't look like they knew each other. Everton really pressed us hard everytime they went forward and should have been 5-0 up.

Much better second half, defensively looked solid and I think that is probably our best defensive lineup.

I felt Brady had a fairly quiet game, as did Redmond. Redmond for me was really disappointing. He didn't really chase any lost balls, he gave the ball away far too often and generally looked disinterested. Seeing it on the TV it looked pretty obvious that his head had dropped after the first half and he couldn't get himself back in the game.

Overall attacking wise, we're still far too slow to get the ball in the box. Everytime you could see Jerome in position, screaming for the cross but we just delay it a fraction everytime and he then gets taken out of the game.

Pleased to see the response in the second half but disappointed we let it get so bad in the first. Everton are a very good team though and a point is a good result overall, although a win would have been more helpful.
