Everton v QPR. 15th Dec at 20.00.

I'm beginning to feel that Besic doesn't see 11 opponents, he sees 11 snides. A bit like Pokemon catch phrase but slightly modified "Gotta tackle em all".

We have still been dire tonight, Lets not forget 90% of the game we have been slow and one paced

I hope he rams my words down my throat, I hate watching a boring Everton side

They haven't been "dire".

 

[Bilko]

lets get a few this half,they are there for the taking if we apply ourselves properly.

The worse thing we can do right now is come out and allow them to pressure us. We need to get right into them from the beginning of the 2nd half. We must not sit on this lead. Its typical Everton and i hope we get at them.

If QPR score within the first 10 mins of the restart, it will certainly test us. Big 45 mins this.

...Mr Barkley we need to see an end product. If you're playing tonight would be good.

.....think young Ross saw my earlier post. Well done son, keep bossing this game.

 

[blukaku]

My favourite bit of his game, bar the goal was the first time 60 yard ball to release Naismith on the left. Beautiful.

A bit of luck is what we might need

The players looked nervous and the fans sounded it to

Maybe it will give them a boost and they will play like the team of old

Agreed! If we get a couple of wins under our belt and go on a run we could start seeing the Everton of last season again.

I think Stones is a better CB though

Jennifer Jewell plays up top anyway.

I'd be a fan of a Besic-Barkley midfield 2 against any lower teams that will park the bus against us. Barkley's long-range shooting ability will force them to come out of their shell and close him down.

Watch us mess this up lol

 

[deipnosophist]

Points are all that matters at the min

The more games we win the better the performances will become

yep. I am happy to do a Man U for a while...ie win, even if it's ugly

 

[zirc]

Watch us mess this up lol

Shut up.

They haven't been "dire".

Ok dire is a bit harsh

Very slow and predictable though

First 20mins I felt like I'd gone to pick my lad up at Daycare and they'd had to wake him from his midday slumber - we were that slow out of the blocks.

We're still not playing with confidence which is understandable I guess, bearing in mind our recent run, so I'll take 2-0, I'd like Rom to score sometime soon though and us to win comfortably, do our confidence the world of good.

If I see us move the ball back to Howard after having had a free kick 35yds from goal again though, I'll be up the front of this plane and tell the pilot we're gonna need to divert our course somewhat - words will be had!!

that was simply shocking. it's in that awkward central position, but still, you've just got to hit it into the box and see what happens. i never get whyfans groan when we go short from corners because we are worse than useless when putting it in the box.

on the other side, this game illustrates why we don't go long. jagielka and distin's long balls are utter w*nk. they miss the target so often and the only time they do hit rom's head, it's with him jumping backwards and off balance.sometimes it's not as simple as saying we should mix it up.

Sorry, bit of red mist.

Who are you, John Aldridge? lol
