Even as an Ali J fan until a few months ago, I have to confess to being astounded that GP went with him for the last few minutes over Izquierdo

BDB was the most baffling. We'd been solid all night pretty much. I like the guy, and GP, but Burn is prone to mistakes. I'd love to know GPs reason for bringing him on last 5. He was clearly happy with a point. Really strange to make a change to the back 5 with 5 to go
Mmm...Maupay is fine. We need an upgrade on Welbs.

Biggest goal threat tonight?? Think Maupay, Welbeck, Trossard and Lalanna were all more of a threat. Moder had 4 shots all off target. He needs to be better than that imo.

He didn’t want a goal, he wanted a point. Kind of decision it’s easy to make in an empty stadium. 30,000 fans looking at you would have been interesting though
I don't think he touched the ball.

Personally think Potter wanted a point from the outset we weren’t that brave especially first half.
Totally agree. Potter has been very lucky for a lot of this season that the have been no fans.

Everton defended really well but Maupay should have settled the game,
Really enjoying the after match chat on Sky now. Who were Everton playing by the way?

Don't understand the A J sub but burn just to make sure we secured a point rather than give it away.....many would of slaughtered potter had he bought on an attacking player then lost to a last min goal so it was about protecting the point.......mind you it nearly cost us
I can sort of understand Burn more than AJ. DB is a complete wildcard, gangly, takes people on, forward runs, aerial presence.
I don’t get AJ though. Think there’s better attacking options than him.
Izzy hasn’t played competitive football for 2 years...
Why he’s on the bench I don’t know. But I’d rather put Zequiri or Big Mac on over him.

There were so many times you could see that a clinical striker would have taken at least one of the chances in the 6 yard box.

Unbelievable that having seen so many fans bang on about game management all season that when Potter does decide to settle for a valuable point his critics get all arsey about it it. If CH was still manager they would have taken that as a well earned point 
Now that is a FACT!

Maupay? Tonight? Good lord!
AGree about Maupay but he was more of a threat as he should be playing upfront.
Yeah I’m not really blaming anyone, bar our wasteful shooting.
Ancelotti’s a good, experienced manager and knew he had to strangle the game.

Everton came for a point and got it.
When a team comes and sits everyone behind the ball you quite often need someone with genuine pace to break them down, with Lamptey out all season we've been lacking that aspect to our game. Play like that with Lamptey & March back next season and we'll pick up a lot more points.
