Well, not a very inspiring way to open the new season! No excuses today, we simply were not good enough all over the pitch. No urgency to our play, players looked really lethargic and totally not up for it, lack of creativity... just an all around poor performance and Everton were the rightful winners.
We didn't play great in the first half, and in general play Everton looked better and brighter, but despite that we did create the better chances (aside from the massive gift we gave to Richarlison that he somehow didn't score from) and had Son played in Kane instead of Alli for once chance we'd have probably taken the lead.
So you'd have hoped that we'd step up the tempo in the second half, improve our general play, start creating those chances more often, and give ourselves a good chance of getting on top in the match. Unfortunately we went the opposite way, played worse and didn't even create the occasional chances like we did in the first half.
Really disappointing and you can only hope that there's some kind of instant positive reaction from the players in the upcoming matches.
