Rondon flicking the ball with his head into the path of Everton players gave me a semi

At least having Covid is only the 2nd most painful thing I have experienced this aft. Cheers EFC.

Well, we played without a midfield and a striker again. I dont care who you are, you cant play without either, much less both, and do much. Hal of doucoure and Iwobi is not a midfield. Hopefully by next week we have a striker in and Onana has had enough time to start. You know when Davies hits the field its a dire situation, 5 years later he still looks completely lost and much slower than everyone else.

The fact Onana displayed more positivity and grit than any of our forwards is quite the indictment on the team

I hope that’s the last time Lampard has to play that three who started up front again.

I know none of them are strikers, but the inability to pass or shield the ball was embarrassing.

I’d imagine it will, it’ll either be Dele and Rondon up front v Forest or we make advancements on the two Ligue 1 targets early in week

a dreadful decision to start gordon again up front. ridiculous. and then u rep what u sow.

Played for about a total of 20 minutes rest of game we just a strolled through

More effort and better tactics we could easily have got a result

A messy start to the season. Hopefully lessons are being learned and we settle into something resembling a football team.
Need a confidence boost next week and a striker asap!

Its imperative more Transfers need to occur before the next game

Iwobi racking up his man-of-the-match awards recently. Never thought I’d be saying that.

The new assured defence has now conceded 3 preventable goals.

When we play a back three I don't think our wingbacks offer enough of a threat but that could be influenced by a weak midfield that leads to them being pinned and nullified

Why not, he's been literally that for about 6 months now

The new assured defence has now conceded 3 preventable goals.

1 was a penalty conceded by a midfielder, one was an unsaveable finish for context

Because we’re sh**
