Nah - decent striker and we get the points. Harald Brattbakk would blush at some of the misses.

Fair enough. But we don't. Hence our position

And that's my point about him mate. Top, top keepers command the box. He trys to catch when he should punch, he punches when he should catch. He stays on his line when he should come and he comes when he should stay. When the ball goes near him when there's an opposition player within 10 yards you can see him visibly panicking. Nearly every other keeper in the league is quite calm.

There are many faults with the team. Pickford isn’t one of them.

The midfield piss themselves if they have to play at a pace faster than walking football.
I hate all the players on the bench who can't seem to contribute anything.
I hate David Moyes and his coaching staff for ruining this first season at Hill Dickinson with their dour 1994 tactics. No wins at home in two months. Michael Keane on in the 93rd minute to rescue a point?

All of them are a disgrace.

Funny you said walking football.
That’s what I said to my mate half way through the first half - ‘it’s like watching walking football…’

 

[Sharpies volley]

I'll tell you what. Its a good job we've been lucky away from home. Otherwise we'd be in the doggy.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We were the better team, but we lost because our strikers are hopeless.

Full backs are just as bad

If i was iraola i would be looking at playing the lottery tonight because to get that win today as well as the 3-2 he got last season at goodison is beyond the wildest kind of fortune

I think 'played off the park' is a bit of a stretch

Its called forward movement, we lack it big time. We just don't move in front of the ball. To many want ball to feet. No one thinks to spin and run in behind or midfielder fields running beyond the ball
Personal I don't think garner and gana suit each other.

 

[Leylo]

Devastated better away from home.soaked on way home great.. still not feeling it at the stadium

 

[JohnRoss23]

Full backs are just as bad

Needed new fullbacks years ago

 

[witchdoc187]

This really

Lot of work still needed on this squad

At least Harrison Armstrong looks a player

We're not far off being a decent side. Tonight was a massive kick in the nuts. But we are where we are. I think we're near enough where we belong. At least we finally have some hope

Yeah mate we're all entitled to our opinions and mine is, that he is.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Fair enough. But we don't. Hence our position

What is interesting is the complete dearth of decent strikers nowadays. It’s like nobody is taught to be a traditional number nine any more.

 

[Somerset Blue]

Full backs are just as bad

Aye, but the missed chances did us in tonight almost criminal.

 

[T LEAFE]

Disappointing but we are in a rebuild with growing pains, do see alot of positivity in that squad though.

Still well in the hunt for Europe

Nope

At least we didn't spend £50m on the wolves lad palace bought
