Match Thread Blackburn 1-0 Everton. Sat July 19th 3pm.

[Sona]

Decent first half performance overall.

We’ve got into some promising positions going forward, just a lack of quality in the final pass (Patterson overlapping McNeil the main source of success, but poor deliveries).

I do feel that both full backs are backup at best; would love to see us invest in two proper attacking full backs.

Alcaraz has looked sharp in the number ten position, would like to see us get Ndiaye on the ball more too.

Please stop saying Patto I am getting Dyche flashbacks

 

[Nymzee]

We were the better side, but still got gaping hole right wing. Ndiaye looked understandably rusty. Garner completely anonymous.

 

[atrottel]

Gueye head and shoulders above most others so far. In an ideal PL squad Garner and McNeil would be decent to come on off the bench.

Again, what a difference a couple of decent full backs would make to the team.

Didn't see the first 10 mins, but he does seem to lack pace when a winger stands him up, I have noticed that, I do hope thats due to playing while not fully recovered from injury, but you have a point, he's got to be better in the tackle.

The goal was much more down to Branthwaite getting lost on the left than it was down to Patterson, it meant O'brien had to shift to LCB and Patterson to RCB positions.

Typical friendly. No motivation, no pushing themselves, just going through the motions to put more fitness into there bodies. Nowt to get stressed about

And Myko gave up on getting back when he could have covered the guy Patterson end up chasing across the box.

 

[Nymzee]

Normally that's a second yellow

Poor control Alcaraz after great play from Obrien.

Don't know about Gueye,he looks up for it.
