Everton v Leicester City. 19th Dec at 1500.

Our defence is horrible. Remember when Goodison was a hard ground to visit. That was nice.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Leceister were sh!t today, you can kneejerk all over the place but boy they had RS type fortune to score 3 goals.

I blame Martinez for playing Kone, playing Howard when he knows he's a liability, and he makes his subs way too late, has been doing all season.

 

[banno]

Martinez out.
Classy football, terrible results. Anybody who disagrees is happy with mid table for seasons to come.

What do you want? terrible football, terrible results?

So, he does get us classy football then?

Time to change things up, as well, for the Newcastle game. Deulofeu has looked leggy come the second half in the last few games, which is understandable. Kone is fine at the link up play but offers nothing in the box. Kind of defeating the point of a striker.

If McCarthy is fit, he needs to come back. I stand by my point that with him in the team - even though I've been impressed by Cleverley on the whole - we don't concede the goals we have done in the last few matches.

So who do we get in to replace him?

 

[DRM]

Yep. He's not the same manager from 2 years ago. And thats not for the better either..

If he proactively subbed Del, the fumes here would be Pompei like.

 

[jungbrunnenwald]

Not wanting to offend anybody but this is a team with typical English players , runners , but nobody to play a decent desicive pass. We really need a creatice midfielder.

 

[deipnosophist]

We're still 2 points ahead of where we were at the same stage of the season last campaign. The numbers don't lie...we are improving.

 

[zaitken]

Unacceptable today, to lose a game against a team who play as ugly as that is just pathetic. Martinez, do one...and take Howard with you.

 

[deipnosophist]

Barkley was very good today

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Shame....unlucky.....

Hahaha....You laughed at loistuurrrrr.

They're top for a reason. We're [Poor language removed] because we're [Poor language removed]. st About EVERYBODY's wise to Boberto.

Far too easily sussed. And who thinks Mori's any good? fs..

Hate everyone & everything just now....

Includin' feckin safe mode.

koff.

 

[DRM]

So who do we get in to replace him?

If you want shitty football and results ... Mourinho is now available.

 

[BlueToff]

Yep. He's not the same manager from 2 years ago. And thats not for the better either..

In the case of the subs, something changed last season. Also, I'm going to point out that the Bournemouth draw was a year ago to the weekend that we collapsed against Spurs. Up until that game at White Hart Lane, we'd looked good and were well placed to go on a run. We gifted Spurs the win and then collapsed.

I's slightly different this time as we've been playing good football, but the results have gone missing. Massive few games, now.

Also like to note that I think Lennon did well when he came on.

 

[banno]

Again we score (at least) two goals. And again that is not enough to win or now even not draw.

Yet we have the best CB in the league, the best right back in the league and the best left back in the league. We don't......they are decent footballers but average in defensive duties. Our midfield do not help them that much as you can see from that game. When the opposition have the ball say on the left then we will (like schoolboy matches) all go over to the left and the opposition have acres in the middle. Its comical to watch sometimes.
