Not a disastrous performance today but certainly a wake up call for all those fans thinking it will be a wall in the park. Is it just me or is playing Moutinho and neves together far to defensive. Both play so deep and are so so similar in their style. Neither of them have got legs to make box to box runs. This is desperately what we need alongside neves, not another neves carbon copy in Moutinho. There’s no one linking up midfield to attack, neither of the front three drop deep to link up play. Costa and Jota were awful today, Jota in particular. Also think Nuno got a lot wrong and showed Everton too much respect by keeping three at the back when they went down to ten, invited pressure. That being said would have taken the point before the game :) up the wolves.

I think we missed Cavaleiro today. Boly had shakey start and Jota needed to release the ball quicker. All in all a good start to the season as players are not match fit yet. We controlled large parts of the game but missed some cutting edge. We will play worse teams this year, so a good start.

Spot on dapa, thought we was awsome today, Everton a top 8 side and fair play still went for it with 10 men, for a first game I think we was ace and not sure what some of you moaning false fans was watching, minimum 50 points for wolves this season.

{Ed025's Note - get to 40 first rogue and see where you go from there mate..

I'm bloody moaning paid £62 for BT live coverage, had a power cut just after rubens sublime equaliser and never got to see or hear anything after that. Anyway a point to start and some lessons to learn. Hope dendocker or whatever can lock up the defence somehow.

Thought we played ok. I honestly think this team will grow into premiership footbal. Dominated the ball throughout but just lacked that cutting edge. I agree that Neves and Moutinho are very similar players which is great when you want to play possession football but you need that top top player who can turn a game on his own which I thought we lacked today. The last 20 mins we were crying out for Cav or Traore who I know obviously weren’t involved today. I also think Jonny did ok but still believe we need a left footed wingback as when he (Jonny) was presented with a bit of space he cut back in on his right foot which seemed to slow the play! Step forward Vinagre! I genuinely believe this lad will go all the way to the top. Just hoping that our Nuno will see it that way also. Looking forward to seeing our boys back in the BBC at 10.20!

Dappa and Rogue one need to chill out. No one is moaning just noticing a few things. It doesn't make you a false fan but a fan who is realistic to what he has seen. We controlled possession in large parts but didn't create enough which was mainly down to the 2 wingers not being on their game today. It doesn't mean we think our players are crap just not on fire TODAY. As pointed out Everton are a good side and so I would rather get a draw from them on the opening day than lose to Palace or Bouremouth. I am not sure what game you were both watching if you thought we were awesome.

Camo, it was awsome as I am a realist, this was the first game of the season against a very good side and we held out or own and bounced back twice, that performance filled me with promise for the season, not the finished article but a great platform to build on, you must be one of these fans that was thinking a 4 0 easy win and top 6 finish, small steps.

No not all. I thought 1-1 before the game. Like I said just points noticed during the game. Awesome is playing fluid and creating lots of chances. We played a good first game and that's all it was. We will improve and play better.

Positives, Coming back twice, Neves, Neves’ goal, Neves’ assist, Neves Beard, Neves’ right foot, Neves’ left foot, Good point against a top 8 team, Neves controlled the game, Ryan Bennett (best defender on show today. solid performance), oh and Neves
Negatives, should have won.
We will learn and the future is bright, the future is old gold and black😁.

Dapper I took a month contract with BT 27:99 plus 35 connection so I could watch via Sky in oxfordshire. We actually had 2 power cut Ist half then off for 1hr 49 mins. You think I'd come up with it for fun? Watched highlights now, looked a bit nervy and too much respect for Everton. I think we'll learn from that big time. Leicester will be an interesting gunge.

{Ed025's Note - or gauge even..leicester are a very good side abby and like every game you will have this season it will be a test, for me they were the better team against united and you will have to be at the top of your game to get anything there, to me you seem a bit light up top but i think traore will help although i dont know who else you have who will score all the goals mate..

Yes gauge Ed. For the very reasons you point out. Light up front we maybe but nuno has already said we play the way we play and he won't change that. It's getting the balls over and around that we'll struggle with and the passing was a bit off last night. Incidentally have they widened the pitch at the mol. Looked it from the little I saw last night.

{Ed025's Note - i really rate nuno abby so im sure he will sort it mate..

Not do I! That could likely be a problem. We have to move quicker with the ball, support our one striker up front. They had 10 men. More composure and penetration when on the ball. I’m sure Nuno will get it right. Every game a cup final! ⚽️😉👍.

Awesome is how we played the vile off the park at the mol last season, this was a million miles away from that.
That said Everton were fluid and well organised so even though we played 10 men for quite some time a point is not to be sniffed at, this side will invariably improve as the season progresses. COYW in Nuno we trust.

I love how the Everton fan is being condescending. Yes mate, we know. We were league founders. And also have been bigger than you. Nobody else irked by him?

40 points will be easy, mate. We managed to score twice against a team that cheated, fouled and dived. Wolves backed off because they didn't know how to deal with a team that simulates fouls. Jota and Costa didn't know how to deal with players that foul and make it look like they were fouled. They played a game that wasn't just football. We managed to stay with them.

40 points will be easy. I'm sorry, southern. That may annoy you, but it is true. It is funny how the experts after seeing us have said the same. That top half is possible because we got a result playing bad. And we did. Passing has nothing to do with how "good" toffees are. Our passing was not at the same level, them going stray. Going too soon. Too late. Basically, just an off day. So if we can get a result with a bad performance then. That is good? I'd be more worried if I were Everton. You lot had to resort to fouling against a newly promoted team. Everton could only draw whilst Palace obliterated Fulham. Richarlson managed to simulate, showing his £50m was worth it since acting is now a skill in footy. And I'd be worried if I were Everton.

As for this being what we should expect. Nah, fam. We have beaten LFC and held City. We have seen our boys against much better teams than yours. And we saw what they are capable off. This wasn't it.

A draw when playing bad is good. Everton got a draw with their striker playing "well" . Says a lot really. And what a place to be. Everton fans happy with a draw and our fans thinking we could have done better.
