Match Thread Everton 0-0 Brentford, Saturday 23rd November, 3pm

[Furey1878]

Haven’t they lost every away game so far as well? Everton came to Everton today.

They have played much better teams away, so it's not a true reflection of them on the road. 2 equally mediocre sides today.

Do they practice finishing at FF?

No . They are running around until they can get away doing things a footballer does.Gambling, whoring and boozing. they meet every Saturday to have a school yard kickaround…

Just seen Brentford have actually moved up to 10th with that draw

 

[GrandOldTeam]

no we need the manager to attract the players

Doesn't happen until we have owners and ability to spend on those players.

Was working and I couldn’t get the game in. My colleague was watching Middlesbrough on their phone under the desk and it finished 6-2. I miss watching exciting football. Not even surprised it’s 0-0, Dyche will be happy with it which is the sad thing.

2 points dropped.

By Brentford

Not lacking in effort, players simply aren’t good enough.

Yep because Dyche certainly knows how to set up a team to attack.

You've got to admire the attention to detail that Dyche brings to his coaching .

The fluidity of formation , the inter changing of positions and movement of the players is a testament to the dedication of our head coach / manager.

We are so lucky to have him.

Problem areas:

Left back - offers absolutely nothing in the opposition half.

Right back - see left back.

Central midfield - nobody can pick a pass, no goal threat.

Whatever wing McNeil is on - joke of a player that offers nothing outside of a three match purple patch each season.

Up front - see left/right back.

Manager - is taking us down.

We WILL be bottom of the league on January 1st 2025, imo up to 5 points off safety.

just manager

but if he’s not wel be bottom 3

 

[Sharpies volley]

We wouldn't score if we were still playing at Christmas. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Blue_in_london]

Its not all bad, we're hard to beat eh...eh?...dives into a bunker!

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Well predictions for Jan 1st. Rock Bottom

 

[Bkk Andy]

3 games with no goals. FFS.

Not many teams will score with such anti football tactics.

We attacked all game today. We're just not very good.

I have been an advocate for not going around the same loop of constantly sacking managers when clearly we do not have anywhere near enough players of the necessary ability or mentality fit to wear an Everton shirt but the reality is, if Dyche stays we will be relegated.

Lets be honest - we need a miracle. A new manager who can somehow get this bunch over-achieving and hopefully the takeover complete to spend a few quid in January on someone creative and a finisher. Reality is, we would probably only be able to get Moyes back and be reliant on someome like Broja hitting the ground running.

 

[Vintage]

Can't score goals so can't win games. Serious threat of relegation with each game passing

 

[Lloydystark]

Give brentford some credit. They stuck 10 men behind the ball when they went to 10 men and looked dangerous on the counter. It's harder than what you think to play against 10 like that
