Match Thread Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Carbon copy of the Fulham game. Decent display but an inability to convert good chances, opposition keeper having a fantastic game, and a defensive lapse being punished.

Wolves and Fulham were absolute crap and looked like Championship teams, yet we lost to both.

 

[Tel001]

What an affliction it is following this club.

I've always feared the season we go down, we'll sink without trace.

That’s because losing the first 3 games and not scoring has never happened before.

Another new record for bill…. Good times yeah?

Ffs Everton

 

[ClausThomsen]

Sucker punch again, and again, and again, and again - repeat for ever.....

When will we ever get an inch of luck?

Again dominated and get absolutely zilch - sickening

I don't think luck had much to do with Tarkowski deciding to go AWOL as that cross was coming in.

The bit of luck we did have was that absolute sitter for Wolves falling to Fábio Silva.

Some top bedwetting in here

Have you heard about an incoming asteroid or something?

I think it's Evertons worst start since 1901. Open to correction.

Official ratings:

Pickford - 5 - Almost cost us a goal due to indecision, should have been out for their actual goal.
Patterson - 4 - The lad's got nothing about him at all.
Tarkowski - 4 - Looks awful. Some captain's performance that. Terrible in possession, terrible first touch, and terrible attempt at marking for their goal.
Branthwaite - 7 - Did nothing at all wrong and looked very calm on the ball.
Young - 3 - Absolutely atrocious today, definitely not the answer. He must have floated the ball slowly into the goalkeeper's arms over 10 times.
Onana - 3 - Yet another anonymous performance to go with the rest of them. Terrible, offered nothing whatsoever.
Gueye - 3 - Finished. Nothing else to say.
Doucouré - 5 - Energetic but quality-wise appalling. That header simply had to go in and he didn't even connect with it properly under no pressure.
Garner - 6 - Again played in a position he doesn't want to be in. Either play him central or don't play him. Better yet put him right back in place of the Scottish crab.
Dobbin - 5 - A few nice flicks but looked extremely lightweight and Semedo had him in his pocket while he was on the pitch.
Danjuma - 6 - Looked ok, positive at least but initial thoughts are he'll struggle to get more than a few goals this season.

-

Dyche - 5 - I respect the fact he finally made the necessary changes to his team and it's not his fault he's got a Championship squad. For once not an awful lot he could do about it.

 

[HowardsWay]

As expected. Poor game. Two outstanding saves being the highlight. One from Pickford, one from Sa.
Deep deep trouble and we got lucky the last two seasons but the grim reaper is ready to wield the axe this time.

 

[bag a yoko]

Small margins.
It was a very even game.

 

[Terrarian]

Totally unacceptable this heads need to roll

 

[sandybrownsbighead]

Amazingly this was probably our best performance this season so far. There are so many moments of quality that lack a finish in the final third. They get one shot on goal and it goes in. We can't afford to lose focus even for one second

Against a poor side. We are going to be destroyed by the top teams this year

 

[joebocop]

It's hard to stay positive at the moment. But there were shoots of positivity today. Branthwaite being the main one. Dobbin and Chermiti are closer to the first team than I suspected. Danjuma had his moments.

We've lost 2 games at home against sides that will be bottom half without scoring so I get the doom and gloom. But the home performances aren't totally abject.
