Everton manager Ronald Koeman stated his team were “worried to play football” as they conceded a late equaliser against Apollon Limassol in the Europa League.
The Toffees have one point from 2 games after Hector Yuste’s 88th-minute header – just moments after Valentin Roberge had been sent for the visitors – made an unlikely point and also guaranteed the Toffees left the field to boos from some residence fans.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, the player overthrew for the dispatching, ought to have won the video game in injury time, however goinged right at goalkeeper Bruno Vale.
Koeman said: “The feeling is a defeat today, not even a draw. It is really disappointing. We started poorly without any confidence and making a lot of mistakes but we had a good reaction.
“The second half was much better, we controlled the game and had big chances to score a third. It is football and sometimes when you are struggling maybe we are too afraid to play football. That is difficult when your body is not full of confidence.
“I cannot say they are not running or fighting, but they are scared to play forward. A win today makes it different.”
