Match Thread Stoke City v Everton 1/2/17 KO 8pm GMT

[eurosrees]

Hughes has out managed Koeman so far, Holgate is struggling but he's been targeted and is getting very little support, the Mirallas-Lukaku thing hasn't worked so far, Lukaku seemingly having one of those evenings where he looks like he'd rather be somewhere else.

Could be out of it though, if we can get in HT 1-0 then it's a positive from here.

Game is still there if they can get to halftime 1-0 down at worst. Stoke isn't great shakes at the back either.

[Mrk]

Final pass is pathetic.

 

[Martino Robertez]

People want him to be played deeper though

There's playing deep and then there's playing in concrete boots at the bottom of the Mersey.

 

[Saaby]

Mirallas having a shocker

 

[Callum_efc]

Yeah but need to remember all the wages we've saved!

[BigBlueConk]

This set of players in this formation against this opposition is not working.
RK needs to earn his wages and sort this painful display out.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Terrible ball Mirallas. Just so lazy on the ball

 

[tim cahill]
