Soccer / everton

Tottenham won sorry Everton side with result of 4:0 at home. North London side was in control of this game from beginning until the end. Spurs looked good in most of the game and spectators which are paying the highest ticket prices in England could see some nice combinations and skills. First goal was masterpiece of Dejan Kuluševski who made mess inside Everton box like he is Dejan Savićević and then noticed approaching Bissouma and sent nice low ball toward him and Malian fired rocket ball which deflected of crossbar inside net just like football fans love! Great play by Swede and powerful shot and effective goal by Yvess. Second goal happen after ridiculous mistake made by Pickford who underestimated Son and lost ball inside own box, than hit Son with tackle trying to recover lost ball, Korean almost felt, but stayed on feet and scored. If he fell it would be penalty and card of most likely red color for Jordan. Hung-min was fair play player and didn't fall and I loved that! Worth mentioning in first half is reinforcement from Burnley Odobert who started this match on left side. He looked very good in first 30-35 minutes. Impressions were he's very technical and fast. He showed skills in receiving balls, trickery, ability to cross inside, but after 35th minute he was invisible on the pitch. Third gall happen in second half after Maddison corner. Pickford didn't come out to collect ball on 3-4 meters from goal line and Romero won aerial duel and sent ball inside the net. Another goal on Pickford if you ask me. Fourth was superb counter attack after corner. Mickey Van de Ven took ball and start run toward opponent ball, when he came near edge of the box 4 players tried to close him to prevent shoot, but he skillfully passed ball left to Son who did very nice finish from narrow position. That gave me strong vibrations of thinking how would he perform if he was in the attack ? I felt like he would be mix of Mbape and Van Basten if he is attacker! I doubt Maddison, Kulusevski or some other big boys from attack could do what Mickey did in this attack. That was awesome goal. Everything was not ideal, Everton had chances too, back post social distancing of Spurs players with final result of shot above goal happen in first half. There were save who is alive situations inside the box after corners, there was one big chance in second half too after sick pass of Odobert straight to opponent, but Vicario saved and ball didn't deflect toward Everton player. There were injury worries when Van de Ven was on the ground holding his knee in first half or when Romero went down holding his ankle, or when Udogie was on the grass. All finished this game and I hope I will not hear about "someone picking up a knock and can't play next week". For the end I want to say I don't understand some Ange's substitutions. Decision to take out Dejan Kuluševski and to keep Johnson who didn't do literally anything until the end is very very strange. There is no excuse for that! He did that around 65th minute. Also if you ask me Madders should go out and Bergvall in much before actual change happen. Maddison gave effort, but ball didn't listen to him most of the time and he missed big chance when he was alone in front of Picford, sent one ball toward no one etc... He was not bad, but it looks like he can last 60 minutes not 90. Johnson showed once more he is not top 6 player. He was again in one vs one situation on right wing in promising counter attack, but he let Everton player to block him and ball went into corner. If it passed it would be 100% goal. This situation throws shadow of doubt if he can do low cross inside the box with one opponent in front of him! My player ratings: Viccario 8, Porro 8, Romero 9, Van de Ven 9, Udogie 8, Bissouma 9, Kuluševski 9, Maddison 8, Odobert 7, Son 9, Johnson 5. I am not "on the Moon" because of this victory which I recommend to players too, because this was just Everton which is these days cannon fodder. Next game is against serious opponent Newcastle. Let's see how can we play against them!
