Match Thread Atalanta v Everton - Thursday 14/9

[Darth Toffeeman]

Seems I got lucky missing the game due to work. Sounds like it was dreadful, again.

Long season ahead...

Echoes of 94.

Great players, rubbish manager.

He is getting nothing at all out of the team.
Needs a change, tonight ideally.

 

[Frang]

We are looking very 'QPR' the season they went down.

No interest and defiantly no desire.

I hope these new boys aren't just mercenary's

I wish I had been working, it was utterly dreadful.

Got it recorded but doubt I'll bother watching it tbh. Would basically be self harming wouldn't it.

Atalanta are a top 4 Serie A side. We're not even a top 6 Premier a League side.

The worrying this is that our lads actually tried.

We did not try mate. That was not a team at full pelt, 100% effort, desire or commitment. In fact that was as little effort as you can put into a match without someone saying they've threw the game because they've put a bet on themselves to lose. It was a pathetic tepid performance and has been too much of a regular occurrence for my liking

We've got some good players but the squad is looking horribly unbalanced. Koeman doesn't seem to know what to do with the good players he does have. Very worrying.

Boro' quarter final bad.

My older brother wants Koeman sacked in the morning with unsworth and big Joe holding the side till we get a new manager - TAXI!

He's the one who decided to replace a world class no.9 with three no.10s

so martinez comes in benefits from Moyes defensive coaching, then falls apart...Koeman comes in and benefits from Martinez attacking coaching, then falls apart...can we not get a complete manager ffs?

Atalanta sold their best players this year, and still took the piss out of us.

Also, not being funny, but we never tried.

Another hiding on Sunday and maybe..

 

[maccavennie]

I was working. Just someone tell me we got a shot on goal, you could even lie to me.

24 shots on goal mate
2 goals disallowed
Hit the post 4 times
Hit the bar twice
one goal went over the line and wasn't given
Both their centre halves should have been sent off for professional fouls
2 of their goals were offside and 3rd goal came off Jagielkas arse whilst he was lying on the floor with an injury
We were really unlucky

Hope that helps

The 5-0 thrashing we'll get on Sunday will be koemans last freebie... should be on a 3 match prove yourself after that... the guys become useless overnight

Just had a lovely slice of pizza

Almost feel sorry for it that I shovelled it down my gullet in anger. Italian pizza deserves better

Do one Everton

A terrible season start like this was anticipated after this crap transfer window. We sold our best players and did not replace them properly.

It's not that the players we signed are bad. They are just not worth what we paid for them. I mean Sigurdsson for 48 million euros?!? Wtf?

We paid prices like PSG or ManCity but signed players like Stoke City or West Ham would do and that's the problem. I think our main deficits are a good playmaker and a CF.
