Everton vs Hull City review: Frustrating game sees doubts arise at Goodison
Everton saw their form continue to run sour as they slumped to a 1-1 draw with Hull City in midweek. Hull played well for the first 20 minutes of the game, with pressure high against the slightly cautious Everton back line. Confidence was restored in Everton's ability when Romelu Lukaku scored from ten yards out in the 34nd minute, and the game looked as if it would a case of how well Hull could defend against the Belgian duo of Mirallas and Lukaku. However, the game was very different as it was completely and utterly Everton creating their own problems in not keeping the ball in midfield. They were punished for this when Aluko scored in the 59th minute. Distin didn't cover Aluko and again made people wonder about his place in the team. The rest of the game was extremely dire, with both teams looking like they wanted to gain a point. At the final whistle, Goodison Park rung out with a string of boos, leading to media speculation about the future of 35-year old Tim Howard and 37-year old Sylvain Distin in Everton's first team (not to mention the mini-run of bad form for Martinez's side).
Distin had a shocking game for the Toffees, leading to speculation about his future.
