That’s all from us, I hope your evening is not a 0-0 draw. Goodnight.

“Didn’t trouble the scorers golden boot standings”

“Earlier this week, some Brazilian sports site referred to “Rodrigo De Zerbi” when talking about Richarlison’s self-created situation, and I just thought, wow wouldn’t it be nice if Roberto could just blame this whole thing on his fictional evil twin?”

He might be thinking something similar, Leo Addor.

Ambassador you are spoiling us:

Billy Munday is on the tools for the late Kick Off.

Everton remain unbeaten and pick up another point away from home.

Spurs? Well. Jamie Redknapp has his say on Sky Sports:

“After spending £300m, I didn’t think there would be a problem scoring goals. But to not score in six hours of football is absolutely diabolical.”

De Zerbi strides onto the pitch and still seems to be in coaching mode, giving his players instructions after the final whistle. It was a toothless performance from his side, they had a sprightly first 15 minutes without creating a clear cut chance and Everton gradually settled into the game and had the better of it.

FULL TIME: Tottenham Hotspur 0-0 Everton

Booooos ring out around Tottenham’s stadium as their goal drought continues. It’s the first nil nil at the place.

*Surely just writing that gets us a goal?

Seconds later he is subbed off for Hackney. O’Brien also comes on for Everton – Maitland-Niles the man to come off.

“Hello Jimbo, not sure if you were referring to Withnail or a Guinness advert when you wrote ‘tick follows tock’ earlier, but if it’s the former then this sprang to mind from Uncle Monty de Zerbi...

“It is the most shattering experience of a young manager’s life when one morning he awakes and quite reasonably says to himself: ‘I will never play the Dane.’ Erickson left six years ago and none of the others want to come here.”

George Ronczy raises his head over the parapet: “Spurs fan here. This team is an improvement every game, they are starting to gel. Ten out of today’s 20-man are new to the team, it’ll take time. Today’s passing is crisper, faster, more accurate. Defense is solid, midfield is solid.

And I wish I had a dollar every time I’ve heard or read “He’s got to do do better.” Of course he does, it didn’t go in. If half of those did, teams would be scoring four times every game.”

“Here is my early prediction” writes JP. “Teams will struggle to reach 70 points. The team getting 75 will surely be champions. Whether Arsenal get to ninety or they just about scrap to 70-75 remains to be seen.”

Both these sides would snatch your hand and plenty else off for that. Here the come for the second half, can Spurs end their goal drought? Can they even get a shot on target? Let’s find out.

“Very unusual to have gotten to half-time in an Everton MBM without a nervous/exasperated/very occasionally contented email from Mary Waltz on the West Coast of America” writes Justin Kavanagh. “I can understand those Spurs fans who have given up the ghost on this season already, but Everton seem to have steadied the ship, so presumably she’s got something more important on today.”

Jamie Redknapp has the audacity to disagree with Chris in Corfu and says on Sky Sports that “Savio has looked sharp, he’s been the bright one on the pitch.”

Half Time: Tottenham Hotspur 0-0 Everton

A scruffy half comes to a close with Everton’s corner being cleared away easily. Spurs go another half, three on the bounce now, without a shot on target. Everton have come back into it after being nowhere for the first fifteen minutes, De Zerbi’s men started quickly out of the blocks but just had no killer pass or end product.
