I mean, we've discussed at length over the past couple of days the Hull game, but I'll give you the final words.

I take it that you did watch it and were you as frustrated as most Everton fans after coming back 2-1 up, should be able to see the game out with the quality that we've got, certainly better than what Hull have got, and then we go and make a multitude of mistakes in one passage of play, which leads to a Hull City equaliser?
You could pick holes in the starting line-up for the kick-off, couldn't you? But it was kind of the left-back bait.
Listen, we're covering an old ground in terms of how thin this squad is, so you're having to put square pegs and round holes in our full-back.
That's just the nature of the beast because the manager's been left with this number of plays in the squad.
Looking at it, yeah, you'd love to have taken three points, don't get me wrong, but it's in Hull at the moment.
I think Aston Villa and Chelsea and United have all thought, yeah, we'll beat Hull.
They all thought the same, Villa are a good side, United obviously going through a bit of a sticky situation at the moment, but they've got both good players.
So it can be tricky to go to these promoted sides, as we've seen the likes of Ipswich and Hull.
I picked up numerous points in the Premier League this season and Coventry we've seen at the weekend.
So we're in a different era of where we were last season with a couple of seasons ago where you were just, these are your bankers as your team's going and getting relegated as we're being promoted.
But having said that, I thought Everton played within themselves for a large part of the game.
They didn't impress me, but they always looked as if they were never going to get beat, if that kind of makes sense.
And once they went 2-1 in front, you're thinking, this is a typical away day performance from Everton under Moyes.
And whatever Moyes does in the dressing room and whatever he says at Finch Farm and all the skill sets he puts out and all the defensive drills, he can't legislate.
for his right back making two errors and a centre forward missing three gilt-edge opportunities.
