Everton 2-1 Wigan. Boxing Day @ 15.00.

[Seamus Colemole]

Who needs creativity against 11 yard dogs behind the ball! Not us, we can't risk Barkley being on in case he gives the ball away trying to score us a goal, nor that Coleman who passes to opposition players under no pressue.
No wait, that's Phil Neville.
9 shots, 9 corners and still as likely to score as the elephant man at a disco.

 

[BlueToffee95]

Hitzlesperger has been awful. Either too slow on the ball or too rushed! I'd like to see Osman dropped back in the middle and Oviedo brought on - just to provide an out ball. Wigan are playing well though.

if we weren't so **** offensively we would be 3-0 up by now

 

[Bluenose1995]

neville seriously needs to **** of out of the club he offers us nothing if we actually played football and not hoofball jelavic would actually score this is the reason why we never get the results against the ****e teams as moyes believes you need to handle their yard dog defense with long balls when in reality we need to be passing it around and opening them up bad tactics again by moyes

Coleman isn't fully fit mate.

We're not actually playing long balls though. We're playing it on the ground poorly.

He and Distin consistantly making those ****e short pass in our own half.

Game is crying out for creativity, that Barkley could do a jo...ahh what's even the point.

We had a 'purple patch' of 4 corners on the bounce.

We've done nothing really as an attacking force mate.

 

[Rook]

Can Olivedo play RB?

Jags playing excellent considering he's got to cover the whole right side. Nev, sometimes he gets more stick than he deserves, but he deserves all the stick he's getting today.

Hitz turning the ball over way too much. Barkley would be a nice sub as we need another goal scorer on the pitch.

Osman, Baines, Gibson also playing pretty well.

Vic starting to get into the game.

Wigan is defending well but they are spending a ton of energy. Paitence people and pray for a non-f-up on the counter

 

[banno]

Wigan looking value so far. They are very comfortable on the ball and will sneak a goal if we are not careful. They are not allowing our players anytime on the ball and this has stopped our passing game. Osman is marked out of the game and they are doing a good job of shackling pienaar but credit to pienaar he is trying to get things going. Neville looks off the pace as does Hitz

 

[when i score we riot]

Our crowd can't be arsed, doesn't look like our team can be arsed either.

 

[electricblue]

Poor start - improved a bit as the half went on. Missing a cutting edge though. 500 PL games and Neville still can't cross a ball properly.

 

[Hellerad]

Barkley should come on for Hitz and Oz should drop in next to Gibbo with Barkley wide.

 

[Netromelo]

We need a right side.
