I have to admit I was disappointed VARELA was nowhere to be seen again. Yes great clean sheet but Berahino was covering the left back area?

TP is going for stability at the minute, to get them defending as a unit, which sadly sees POCO replaced by Baird, sacrificing power, speed and getting forward for a solid defence. I can see the method in what we think is madness.

Brunt for Varela for me again I can see it BUT I really don't like it. There was no killer pass from Brunty which to be honest is all he has left in him. Once again on the rare occasion we got forward he played a ball in between the front two which was cut out by an Everton defender......What does Brunt do.......Yes you've guessed it throws his arms up in the air blaming the forwards for a shit pass from himself

I honestly wasn't impressed with us as an attacking unit because we had NIL shots on target, last time that happened was 3 years ago and also at Goodison.

However I am pleased with a point, but I honestly believe if the right starting 11 were picked from the off we could have beaten them as they are nothing special.

Once he has the squad doing what he wants, we will be hard to break down and will have great counter attacking play. Keep the faith, give him time and I am sure we will stay up.

My only worry is why is he after 2 wingers, what exactly is going on with VARELA because he's been a great player when given the chance, maybe TP wants lightning fast wingers. He could utilise GAMBOA on the right wing and see how that goes because that boy is like shit off a shovel.
