besic and funes mori are killing us. can't pass at all. move ross into midfield and push Gerry or lennon up

 

[funkygibson]

First start since January FFS, give him a break, he's been 6/10.

Seriously a 6/10??

 

[ToffeeTim]

That was absolutely horrific. And mo besic hang your head in shame for that gutless, embarassing effort you gave.

New week, same old embarassing rubbish at home. S**** tactics from a piss poor out of his depth coach.

Midfield non exsistant what does MaCarthy do going forwards???
Why does Baines have to mess every set piece up
Totally out thought, and out classed there!

 

[DRM]

Press them would make a difference

True. But I just wonder for how much that is the Manager's blame.
I'm not defending Martinez but today I thought these were the best 11 to start against Arsenal. If they don't press or can't be arsed to do that, I really wonder if that was what they were supposed to do or if it's their own choice.

Also, I think Arsenal are pretty good today. We don't have a player like Ozil for instance.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Oh dear

 

[Bob Elstone]

Cleverly plodding around offers nothing on the left. Like an upgraded Osman.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

What an utterly gutless display. I can't wait until this absolute fraud is sacked.

 

[Scolari]

Need a plan B here. Stones on for Besic maybe, go 3 at the back

 

[john jako]

If besic isn't fit then play clevs central mid and play a WINGER on the WING.

 

[Matty_j1878]

Bill Kenwright - 'What a manager', nice one Bill

 

[paulus]

And Barkley is not player who can play ATM he dont have that touch for great pass. Better games was on CM

 

[Saint Domingo]

Moshiri will be watching this with interest.

 

[fozzy]

Are you happy the way we are playing?
