Moyes will be made up with that.

Moyes will be made up with that.

He wasn't.

I said this weeks ago
Beto is always attaching himself to their centre halfs and looks like he just wants to wrestle with them rather than making space for himself and timing his runs .
So easy to play against .

….he’s only a threat when the ball is played behind the CBs for him to run onto. We know that, it’s clear.

What it also demonstrates is we either failed to watch him before the transfer or he was watched by personnel we shouldn’t use. Everton should do their homework on footballers to determine they fit our requirement from a quality and attitude perspective. I fear that is not always the case.

I was just happy when broja went off so th inevitable didn't happen. We're an average side with our whole midfield missing. I didn't enjoy it but we need to wait a few windows for us to improve and we are improving.

I hear you. But what that says in maybe a few more years we can score more goals and be better than mid table. I feel like we’ve needed just another window or two and then we’ll turn the corner for 20 years now.

 

[Eggs]

We played 2 in midfield & a corner flag in Dwight on a wing who can't beat a man - play an extra midfielder alongside Tim & Garner & make it a 3 man midfield....

…ok, Joey.

…ok, Joey.

I watched the fame Eggs did you ?

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Garner, Tim, or Keane probably the best of a mediocre lot. Gave my vote to Dibling because I’m desperate for a spark.

Mate we've had 2x point deductions for being right in the sheet. Just avoided relegation twice. We've now got an awesome stadium and better players. Financially we look good. What makes you think we are suddenly better than the top 6 overnight? Patience

Was a tough watch. Especially without our best players.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

Entirely on Moyes for terrible transfer business in the summer. Even a Championship level striker and we win today 2-0

 

[Joey66]

….

Take your boots with you next game mate

 

[blue in oxford]

Front 4(5) totally ineffective
Must try and get CF in the window
This was far worse result than the defeats to arsenal and Chelsea

 

[Caolam]

We absolutely must buy a centre forward.

How did we rate Dibling's performance? Was meh for me but I saw glimpses of promise. Think he's a bit grealishy with the slow approach to take on a player. When he's more explosive he gets more joy passing his opponent. Timmy was the best of a poor bunch. Garner tried too. Myko frustrated the hell out me and Sell McNeil in Jan.
