One thing I don't get at all about the way we play is that we apply absolutely no pressure when the other team has the ball.

Barcelona are the best passing side ever, obviously. Yet, when they don't have the ball, all 11 of their players will sprint full speed at you, chasing you back to your own goal until you get it back.

Why aren't we doing this?

....maybe because we don't do much with it when we get it.
 
Yes, you're right. He makes no mistakes whatsoever. How could I have suggested he was at fault for the first goal just because the ball went two foot away from him and a Villarreal player stole a march on the flicked on ball to score?

It must have been Kone's fault.
As I'm not watching I cannot comment on this particular alleged error by Stones, I was remarking on your apparent agenda to fault find and enhance the speed of a transfer for him away from Everton
 
He gets loads. Thing with him is you can't just ignore the fact he picked that ball up and charged with it and turned attack into defence in two seconds.

He's Jekyll and Hyde at the moment; people criticise the problems he has but the right-minded people who do also recognise that there's every chance he'll iron them out and the raw talent comes to the fore over the next year or two.

Exactly. I don't think any player suddenly plays like Pirlo at his age. He's gotta play and keep trying.
