Match Thread Everton v Swansea 19/11/16 KO 1500

[Blu Bianco]

One of dem days LOL

And boy there have been many, too many!

 

[Azza]

Koeman talks about the players we have not being strong enough mentally, I think this performance perfectly shows it more than anyone we've had under Koeman.

Absolutely dire.

 

[blue to the bone]

We weren't mate, this is a replica of last season. Slow boring static football with no end product

We were mate til about March. This has been absolutely dreadful. And have been now since the norwich game. West ham we won without doin much

 

[nsno-chris]

...he'd settle for that all day. Going back on the coach to Swansea I doubt they'll be talking about any of our players.

Probably will, just how [Poor language removed] they are

 

[Ashtonian]

Wow

It's almost like a team with only one point of attack in the entire squad is struggling to win because the other team know already what our attack plan is!

You would think that any club would know this and sign alternative creative players and certainly alternative strikers who give us options other than one.

2 years and we still haven't done that. I don't expect this team to do anything special whilst the same bloody players are thrown at the other team every week. Didn't work for moyes, why we still do it is anybody guess

Beating West Ham was just a blip in a long period of awfulness.
Even then, we were rubbish first half.
Something is rotten at GP and my first glance is at the players and then the board.
And then the fans and then the tea lady.

Stekelenberg - good enough to be backup
Coleman - a shade of the player he was 2 years ago
Jagielka - absolutely finished
Williams - fine defender
Baines - looks finished, will be injured again soon
McCarthy - awful player, Championship standard at best
Gueye - fine midfielder
Barkley - 1 in 5 attacking midfielder
Bolasie - 1 in 10 winger
Lennon - 1 in 10 winger
Lukaku - fine striker

= three good players surrounded by absolute rubbish. No wonder we always finish mid-table.

 

[DualityNSNO]

At this point I'd rather we just put Funes Mori upfront, take Lukaku off, and go for the long ball.

NEA.

 

[bazzer25]

I have always known about cause and effect but we are more like cause and defect.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Seriously though, why would you play at home to Swansea with 2 defensive midfielders

I honestly can't see any logic in that

 

[Wat Tyler]

We haven't created anything.

 

[nsno-chris]

This is a right off, get anything out of this and it's been a succesful day

 

[lancs blue]

posession with the swansea keeper untester. utter shambles

[Dymak]

Really bloody poor!
