Defensive Lapses

give the ball to another of our player. Puts some of the pressure against us off, making us to keep hold of the ball a little bit longer, resulting in less pressure against us.

So while Lukaku is proven to score goals and get assists you'd rather go with Kone with absolutely nothing to back it up except some grossly overweighted anecdotal evidence.

Right.

Yeh, Lukaku has been smashing them in in games like these.

Let's be realistic mate, Kone doesn't have the scoring record, career-wise, or in any aspect, of Lukaku.

Lukaku may be slightly off when the whole team is slightly off, but regardless of his first touch, Lukaku is clearly the more potent goal threat.

lukaku doesnt get the chances in games like these anyway. Kone probably wouldnt either, but at least then we would get a bit better hold of the game. But I guess we just have to agree to disagree in this matter.

If was had a goalkeeper we had a chance today. Poor for both goals.

HOME to Arsenal. different game than away to Arsenal.
and bringing in another team than us is meaningless. I'm talking about how Everton are set up in regard to Lukaku vs Kone.

Scored away in the cup vs Arsenal
Scored lots of away goals away in the Europa League against decent opposition
Scored away at City

I dont say he cant score against better opposition, I'm saying I think Kone would relieve us from pressure more than Lukaku and that could be more useful than the work that Lukaku does in some games. But I don't think we will agree on this matter, so lets end it here. thankyou for the nice discussion though. Good to see that it is possible to have discussions with people on here without name calling.

You've got not a leg to stand on in this argument, so off you toddle.

Couldn't agree more. It was obvious last year that Tim's standards had slipped, but Martinez was oblivious to this. Put it this way, it was like night and day how Cech controlled his area and commanded crosses in contrast to Tim.
Also what was worrying was our lack of control in the centre of the park. IMO we haven't had a central midfielder who can control and dictate a game from a central area since Arteta in his prime. Surely Roberto must be able to see this and any funds that come available in jan, this are the 2 positions we desperately need to strengthen.

Mori suits our style of play with passing it out of defence better than Jagielka.
McCarthy is a passenger.
and i said new GK. as buy a new one.

edit: by the way, well done for using words instead of meaningless smilies.

sorry mate, went to lay a coil then watched Dr Who.

McCarthy is no more a passenger than anyone else, sorry if it doesn't fit with your world view but thems the facts.
Sorry to break it to you but we can't buy a new keeper as the Transfer window is shut, decent Keepers don't move in January and last Summer, a new keeper wasn't a priority. I'm sure if I fish around long enough I could probably find you posting just that

All the Smilies have different meaning or else there'd be no point having more than one, if you're confused abut them then I was laughing my tits off at your original post.

Love,

Spurty.
