30 million for Chelsea is a throwaway signing, 30 million for us is a marquee signing.
Don't mind the lad but he would never have been the priority for me, some good creativity behind the striker is far more important given Beto has shown himself to be servicable the back end of this season.
Who'd have thought it, you take 2 liabilities off in Doucoure and Harrison and put half decent footballers on and Alcaraz centrally and we look a different team.
Suns out, Doucoure's out, Keane scored, what a beautiful day.
Only on the pitch 40 minutes and the entire team look 50x worse just for having him in the vicinity.
Seen enough to know if Coleman and Young between them with a bit of Patterson can survive 90 minutes get O'brien in the middle if that's Tarky done for the season.
Honestly with the fact we're basically playing with 9 players on attack with Doucoure and Harrison it's been a good performance.
Doucoure though wow, feel like every week it's the same "can't wait to never see him play again"
Had seen enough after 20 minutes to say Beto isn't looking any better than a league 2 striker today. If Chermiti has got 45 in him id be changing it at HT.
Also could do with Alcaraz, ball just doesn't stick at all with Doucoure in the team, resulting in plenty of running and hard work simply...
Good cameo from him again.
He's just nice and tidy with the ball, wasn't a big fan of him having that wild shot but he just gives us something a bit different in terms of ball retention and carrying when he's on the pitch.
Then got the important flick on for the goal.
Been alright.
Just another example of Doucoure having no basic ability with the ball costing us again, would be 1-0 still if he could just either run round a statue or pass round him instead of at him.
Worried about Gana though, red waiting to happen from the looks of it.
Tarkowksi with just about the worst half of football you'll likely see, outside of putting the ball in his own net he ticked every other box.
We started brightly but been way too timid and gone back to Dyche off the ball not pressing high, they've been the complete opposite and benefited from...
Game wasn't really going anywhere till the penalty but that's how we need to play when Beto is up top, the lad is very limited but he just needs service in to channels instead of at him.
Just horrendous subs that nearly threw it away. Lindstrom shouldn't have been panic subbed for a fella who can barely sprint anymore.
Ndiaye can't be taken off for another defender with Doucoure then your attacking outlet (who btw was horrific all game)
Then Keane for O'brien just completely...
Moyes' Everton is my childhood, i can barely remember the end of the Smith era other than we were as bad if not worse than now but can still remember going to the Fulham game with my Dad and Unsy scoring that volley early on. Definitely be surreal after all these years to see him back in the...
We've reached the Allardyce period of not even getting shots on target let alone scoring.
Unlike Allardyce we ain't picking up points so even with the shocking football we were safe.
This is just nightmare viewing and awful results.
Really shouldn't be a difficult choice to sack him, keeping...
Forest got a goal and said just have the ball you won't do anything with it anyway.
Usually get about 30% possession and they gave us 60% and still had 3x more shots on goal than us.
Then Dyche's genuis idea after a half of crossing and absolutely no end product is get another big man up there...
