Match Thread Everton 4-0 Wolves - Wednesday 4th December - 19:30

[Librarian]

Woe
We’re halfway there

Now let's open the second half with Mykolenko making a hard, mazy run through the entire opposition and then dinking it over the 'keeper's head for the goal.

Let's please.

 

[II McColl II]

Worst part about winning this is Dyche will be made up his meat and potato 4411 football of McNeil on the wing and Doucoure off the striker is working and anything else isn't worthwhile.

When in reality, the only positive this season Ndiaye is completely out of the game and no idea how to play on the right, McNeil looks like he's played a 90 minutes already and Doucoure can't kick a ball.

 

[Smurph]

No idea how Wolves haven’t scored, we give teams so much space out wide. Having said that they are catastrophic at the back and I reckon we can score more.

Given how poor Doucoure has been and how many clear chances Wolves have had it’s incredible we are 2-0 up.

 

[Fralahna]

Why do some pundits still do their pregame and half time punditry on the pitch? Just find a room. Auditory overload

 

[roy vernon]

I'd bring Broja on for Doucoure, a bit more pace up front would give them something to worry about.

 

[Drico]

A smidge harsh all told.

I tend to think he's spot on. I mean, he's right about the players he mentions...

 

[Andy McGurk]

Half-time: Everton 2-0 Wolves.

If you had to give a one word summary of that first half?

Subjective

 

[Runub]

I didn’t expect two goals until mid-January so I’m thrilled with tonight’s proceedings so far

 

[Marius57]

Mangala been excellent. A travesty he hasn’t played more whilst Doucoure continues to look like a competition-winner.

Was one of our better players before the international break. Went away with Belgium and then Dyche dropped him. Makes no sense.

 

[gianthogweed]

That offside goal he still had to beat 3 defenders to head it what a joke of a decision

 

[Ron Burgundy]

The finishing of DCL is absolutely criminal. This isn't a run of bad form, it's just how he is. Broja must come into the starting xi soon, because even if we win this, it's an easy goal missed by him yet again.

The game should be absolutely dead and buried but one goal for them and they're back in it and probably favourites to win. Broja needs at least 20 minutes tonight.

Hard to disagree with this. He can sulk all he wants and begrudge the lack of service but again tonight he's missed a golden opportunity.

Broja, let's give it a go.

 

[MACCA75]

Still important we get the next goal I think.

We are terrible in possession like.

 

[TheBigIguana]

He's been deemed to be offside because he effected play to the goal by blocking a player.

The debate is if that the block is a) a foul and b) enough of one to effect the goal.

It doesn’t have to be a foul to affect play. The standard is lower.

 

[Caolam]

This is such an un Sean Dyche like performance, we are pressing them high up the field. Hopefully Dyche doesn’t now change things and go defensive to protect a lead.
What that half has shown me is that if we had a manager who was prepared to go after teams we could win games. I know it is only Wolves and they are poor at the back but if you don’t try you don’t get.
More of the same in the second half.
