We lost it on missed chances.
Our weakness though, since Hughes' day & possiobly before, has been against direct football. We struggle to stop it & we struggle to play it ourselves when we need to. We had Jo, Balotelli, Dzeko, Lescott etc etc forward at the end, huge blokes & we couldn't get the fucking ball anywhere remotely near any of them. I can play that ball, so why the fuck our players can't I just don't know.
If Everton had those players in the box, the ball would have been coming in fucking relentlessly & they would have got a chance from it. We managed a couple of balls that hit the 1st man & one straight to Howard.
Premier League football is not just about tippy tapping the ball around when things are going right, it's about variety; coping with it & having it in your armoury.
