Who will be today's scapegoat

I will go with Cleverley

It's not scapegoating if they're crap.

 

[chrissyjack]

If you think we can hold out for a 5-0 defeat, sign here..........

Stop that right now lol

 

[eurosrees]

Why can't we just sack some players, some of them really don't deserve to be in a job as well paid as this.

 

[AlE]

I know loads of people like him but Coleman is crap

 

[Jreverton1]

Honestly if this was the one game of the season where we got absolutely murdered, I'd be okay with it. Koeman didn't put his team in the best position to do well today, and Stklnberg let two cheap goals in early. Hopefully this sends our players a message that you can't coast through games and expect to win.

Surely they should know this already? after all they are professionals. If you can't get up for a game like this then you must have serious problems with your attitude.

Just got in from work and saw the scoreline. Does this mean Gueye is world class?

 

[Lowste]

Our first team squad. Laughable really.

Goalkeepers
Robles - bottom half quality - SELL/GIVE AWAY
Stekelenburg - mid-table quality - SELL/GIVE AWAY

Defenders
Baines - unfortunately finished - SELL
Williams - good but only for this and probably next season, and not top 4/5 quality
Jagielka - a liability nowadays - SELL
Oviedo - bottom half quality - SELL
Coleman - has lost his way massively and showing no real signs of improvement
Funes Mori - a liability - SELL
Holgate - very promising and unfairly shunted from the team

Midfielders
Gibson - waste of space and money - SELL/GIVE AWAY
Barkley - one influential game in five, not good enough
Mirallas - has gone backwards big time - SELL
Lennon - should play more, but still not very good - SELL/GIVE AWAY
Cleverley - waste of space and money - SELL
McCarthy - rubbish - SELL
Gueye - brilliant player
Barry - still very good but his last season with us surely
Besic - waste of space and money - SELL
Davies - not been given a chance

Forwards
Deulofeu - does nothing, might potentially still come good
Koné - waste of space and money - SELL/GIVE AWAY
Lukaku - fantastic player, deserves so much more from us
Bolasie - one influential game in five, like Ross - SELL
Valencia - waste of space and money - SELL/GIVE AWAY
Calvert-Lewin - no idea

Not watching the game

 

[hktoffee]

Davies deserves to start based on this.

 

[everton2004]

One bad game?

We've been dreadful since Middlesbrough.

You can't polish a turd - which is what we have as a squad.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I'm going to take a nap until the bad man goes away. GL guys

 

[Zezti]

Cleverly is total crud too!

Does that surprise ANYONE?
Whoever voted Cleverley over Davies to start needs a reality check.
Tom Cleverley is the worst footballer in the premier league. I'm not exaggerating. He offers absolutely NOTHING. Starting with him means we start with 10 men.

 

[Zed Car]

It's that attitude that guarantees we'll never win another pot in my lifetime

Yes of course because if I had a better attitude we would win the double

 

[N.S.N.O.]

For me whenever you change your formation like we did tonight, the manager is telling his players before the game that the opposition is better.....

Tonight has set us back to where we were under Martinez.....massive rebuild needed, but unless Koeman can get better out of these players, we're not gonna finish in a position where we'll be able to attract better players in January and next summer...

Not sure.

It 100% means that Jagielka is diabolical.

No just the best of a bad bunch.
