Match Thread Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace. Sun Oct 5th. 2pm

[T LEAFE]

Much better from JOB and Dibling. Needed to whip that ball away from the keeper though.

Yet Barry didn't make the run across the near post

 

[Groucho]

We want to play down the left every time and Myko is absolutely killing us

Yet you'll have people on here tell you he's a good option every week. One of the most limited players on the ball in the league.

He’s the LB version of Hibbert.

Decent defending but offers nothing going forward.

Jim Beglin on the commentary is making me rather angry

He's pissed off that Liverpool have lost three in a row.

It's so obvious what our problems are, we don't have a proper right back or an attacking left back. Easy for Palace to push up on us. Alcaraz was key last season in creating things. We are so predictable.

Playing with 10 men again — disgrace we were left with two absolutely horrific strikers to pick from.

I won't argue that Beto and Barry leave a lot to be desired, but they are reliant on supply. How many attempts or touches in the box are we seeing anyway. To me the clear issue is our fullbacks. Myko and O'Brien offer nothing in relation to combinations and overlaps in the final third. That isolates our creative wingers to create solely from 1v1 situations, which limit their own attempts let alone the strikers.

Until we actually have capable fullbacks that add to attack I won't be shocked if our difficulties continue. Its modern football, we essentially are building attacks with two less players than what's commonplace. For all the complaining of our strikers I think it's better served scrutinizing our failure to address what was known holes at both fullback spots. Myko isn't good enough and our RB depth is arguably comparable to championship sides.

We look no better than we did under dyche.

What is Barry doing there ?! Seldom seen a player look so disinterested.

Hopefully we have Aznou on a Rocky Balboa-esque training regimen

 

[BigBeto1]

Barry has to give Dibling an option there

Yes this was weird. He looked like he had 0 interest in giving Dibbling a target

 

[Dykovski200]

Yet Barry didn't make the run across the near post

He was stood still ffs, make a run.

 

[Ivo]

What do we do in training all week? So disjointed.

 

[Drumblue]

Everton are shoite.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

If they want to get their whole team behind the ball when we have it, why be in such a rush to give it them back. Just keep it, make them shift around and cover the ground for a bit. No composure.

 

[Mickey]

We dont press it drives me bananas.
