Everton 2-1 Wigan. Boxing Day @ 15.00.

[Brennan]

Evans scores for United, and then a few minutes later scores another goal, for Newcastle...

 

[quasi modo]

Dire game this, our right is dead.

Far too many loose balls.

jelavic cant do anything if no one will play it too him he's having to pick it up on the wing we need to play it through to him but were missing our creative players

Right, I see. I'm not watching it and only following sporadically on here, so I take my "drop Jelavic" comment back.

Please, please don't let him join the long list of strikers who've been destroyed by a certain Scotsman.....

Thats just making excuses for him because he's seen plenty of the ball but has been very poor recently.

We look like we did a few seasons ago. We seem pretty on top, but it's all tippy tappy stuff outside the box - looks great, but no threat.

As long as it's not tiki taka stuff...

Good ball by Hitzlsperger which Neville doesn't even try to get to. Get Coleman back ffs

 

[Kurt.]

How's Hitzelsperger doing ? ( not reading whole thread and don't have a stream for this )

 

[quasi modo]

Very poor football, no cutting edge what so ever.

About to fall asleep here.

Pretty unfair that mate. He's seen the ball, most of the time on the wing or well outside the 18 yard box. He scored so many last season mainly from cutbacks after good attacking play down the wing from us, which just isn't happening.

He's scored 6 in 18 games, hardly atrocious anyway. Give him the ball near the box, not on the wing or a stupid long ball which he can't get to, and he'll score.

He's having to do far more work to actually get the ball than he should be doing, and he doesn't have the pace to be receiving the ball in midfield and getting in on goal from there.

He's not doing nothing insane but he's nice and tidy with a decent passing range.

 

[Bluenose1995]

neville infuriates me he's ****ing useless no wonder jela aint scoring no one can pick a pass to him just punting balls for their yard dogs to clear same old tactics against these sort of sides

 

[quasi modo]

Neville has been awful.

 

[Rook]

Jags having to play 2 positions today.
