Match Thread Everton v Man City. 23rd August at 16.00.

I've had enough of this bs. Mirallas and Del, two of our most talented players sitting on the bench when we need a goal. They may not be fully fit but if they haven't got enough in the tank to play 20mins they shouldn't be on the pitch at all.

Absolute disgrace that Naismith comes on for Kone and Osman looks set to be the next sub.

Er....they wernt on the pitch

 

[TomDixie]

Big man hasn't held the ball up at all today.

 

[ForeverEverton]

All the people slating Cleverley when we signed him and he looks much better than Barkley.....

 

[Azza]

We haven't passed the ball well at all today and when we have it's been so slow.

 

[longers]

make the sub, for the love of god, make the damn sub

 

[The Mighty Quint]

lukaku has been POOR today.

No service, spent the game with his back to goal, nothing played in front of him to run onto.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Jesus we haven't a clue up top

 

[BluePeadar]

we dont know what to do in the final third

 

[Saaby]

Make the substitution already

 

[Jimmy Flangemoth]

Too many stray/poor passes from Everton. City just mop them up.

 

[Jxg]

Seven minutes.

That's how long Deulofeu has been waiting.

 

[Rook]

I don't think Naismith has been terrible but he wasn't what we needed.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Naismith's interplay is awful. Should be 0-0 this, Thanks Howard.

 

[USABlue]

Make the substitution already

he's at the touchline...

 

[Mozza1987]

Tackle them ffs! Just letting them stroll about with the ball
