Everton lost 3-0 to Atalanta in the Europa League on Thursday and Toffees fans destroyed midfielder Mo Besic after a shocking performance. 

Ronald Koeman and the 2,500-odd Everton fans that made the trip to Italy had to endure one of the worst performances from their team in recent memory.

They were up against a middling Serie A team, who lie 13th in the league and hadn’t played in Europe for 26 years.

As it was, they controlled the game from start to finish, looking stronger, sharper, more inventive – and the final score could have been worse.

Everton have aspirations of breaking into the top four of the Premier League, but that seems a long, long way away after a performance that left you feeling sorry for the fans that had made the trip.

Aside from stand-in goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, none of the Everton players performed well tonight, but one player was singled out for criticism after a shocking first-half display.

And it didn’t get much better in the second half for the 25-year-old midfielder.

Mo Besic looked out of place, sloppy, uninterested and off the pace – and Everton fans were quick to let him know what they thought of him.

This Is Futbol has rounded up the best tweets from Everton fans who were appalled by what they witnessed.
