Match Thread Everton V Liverpool 19th December 2016

[captainvindaloo]

Good energy, but why do we not have one forward who can actually control and hold a ball up? Rom is driving me insane!

 

[Mickey]

Jimmy Mc getting snidey.

I approve.

 

[D410]

the gap between the midfield and our front 3 is to big leaving them isolated and outnumbered.

Get Barry on to add the quality for the final pass.

 

[Dirty Dutch]

Barkley is shocking

 

[ijjysmith]

Was that Fatman Scoop?!!!

Was it though?

 

[Prevenger17]

No final ball as usual.

The forward players need to stop giving the ball to Liverpool. If they had even a modicum of control, they could play the midfield into better positions from which they can get their final balls

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

Signing a CAM in January is a must , our current one hasn't got a football brain.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

The RS had 60% possession first half.

 

[ChrisBlue]

Everton lacking quality up top shocker

We have a loan player, A kid and a 5m 30 year old winger as our attacking threat behind Lukaku

They have spent over 90m on there front three, That's our problem and will continue to be until we start spending big on attacking midfielders

 

[banno]

Good half - will take that. Would like to see Lennon actually run forward with the ball. Does he realise what his attacking role is?

He is basically doing a job on Cline to stop him bombing on. They are nullifying each other.

 

[jimmythenut]

I'd like to see Holgate for Valencia in the next 20. And maybe Calvert Lewin for Lennon.

 

[Azza]

Need to put Lukaku on Kleenex more and Barkley needs to sort out a final pass.

 

[maccavennie]

final pass doesn't matter if it comes bouncing back off the strikers shins. the top 3 need to get a grip, get the ball, turn and run at that shower of crap at the back because they look crap defensively

 

[TheBigIguana]

This is absolutely exhausting to watch

 

[navidson]

Valiant defeat beckons
