Everton v Crystal Palace. 30 Sep at 2000.

Know what your saying, but at least it would have been more of an attacking option though.

Not on the basis of the last 18 months. Honestly I'm at the point of not caring what team he picks, they're all very average apart from Rom.

Our lack of cutting edge is concerning. Disappointing reaction to being pegged back too. The mentality of the team is not what it should be.

 

[deipnosophist]

Is that for real mate.

yep...we were on 12 points (after a much harder start) after 7 games last season.
I predicted at the start of the season we'd finish on 51 points...thus far, results indicate we'll finish on 50 (i.e. we are tracking 1 point below where my game by game predictions forecast).

Blue tinted glasses circumvent reality...we are a bog average team and we'll finish on about 50 points...11th...sound familiar?

 

[MartyMcFly]

Maybe he meant best out of a bad bunch.......Jesus, I hope that's what he meant.

He did

 

[Smodger]

So? Why not take positives from the start of the season rather than just being doom and gloom?

Not doom and gloom but that is not what I like to go and watch maybe you do this is a forum to discuss is that ok with you?

 

[brieverton]

We allowed ourselves to be dictated to tonight for long spells, sometimes it just needs more leadership and guys rolling up their sleeves. It's not as easy as that but for the home side we gave them far too much leeway in that second half.

 

[deipnosophist]

Time to go Ronald

Yep...I miss Bobby too

 

[MartyMcFly]

Didnt say its Cleverleys job to create? I said he is a bit too anonymous. Doesnt really seem to offer anything...

He's solid in midfield and whereas that's not good it's good compared to others.

Thud

Yeah fine with me mate, I would just prefer to look at positives, lost one game in the league but I haven't got a problem with Everton fans slagging off the team if they want to

 

[MartyMcFly]

Benteke is better than Lukaku imo

He was tonight but teams need to play to his strength which means he will only suit a mid table team at best. Rom potentially has a higher ceiling.

 

[Gladystweet]

He did

Thanks for clearing that up.

Mate I have it on record I'm going to watch it again and look for the positives.
