If True

 

[Barca Blue]

Anyone else noticed that Sig is always in the wrong position.
When we are breaking he is jogging around the centre circle.
When they are putting dangerous crosses in he takes up a spot in central defence with no intention of tackling or heading basically just taking up space someone else could take who gives a shoite.
He gives absolutely nothing to this team.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Most worrying thing about this is that Allan and Doucoure are not looking like the upgrade they were supposed to be. Issues all around the pitch but centrally we look very poor

They’ve been like that since the derby mate. I’m not sure why or what’s changed with them but it’s a concern.

 

[God Benfrey]

Allan just needs to sit in front of that back 4, he goes pressing erratically and gets turned and gylfi and Doucoure then can't react accordingly

 

[Egil Olsen]

MU deliberately creates overload on our right side. Can say a lot of positive things about JR, but he affects our balance defensively negatively. Gylfi and AD are too deep - especially in our build-up play. We attack with too few players, and do not threaten the spaces between MU's defensive line and midfield line.

The intensity of our press game is too weak, especially collectively. Holgate and Keane too often have only the ball as a reference on crosses. I think we are more and more similar to how we appeared in the last half of last season.

 

[everton1953]

Crap team almost totally outplayed in 1st half. Could be 1-4 by the end.

 

[dannyboy]

Compare us now to the Spurs performance where we were sharper, pressed the ball more and the passing was excellent.

As the weeks go by, it is becoming clearer and clearer that result was anomaly. Teams have got us well sussed and it´s not even 10 games in.

 

[JLW]

I don’t think so. This game is over, it’s just a case of how many more we concede.

No mate I’m confident we will get at least a point

 

[overkill]

I'd go low block second half time waste try and get out of there with a 2-1 loss.

United have turned up, and they are better than us.

 

[gianthogweed]

Everton are Chernobyl FC go into meltdown throw some stuff over the top of it but the crap is still festering underneath
early season optimism brought right back down to earth

 

[lungo]

If Ancelotti can’t fix us no one can. Koeman has destroyed the club. Pickford Sigurdsson Keane. He’s labourers did with players that will take years to get rid of.

Why does he bring in Pickford again . Thats brain dead. Olsen at least showed some composure. But no the clown is back. And why play Keane. The guy is absolutely hopeless.

 

[hktoffee]

Carlo why not making changes now we are behind...

 

[Frenk]

Richarlison played after project restart and we were trash.

Too many holes in the side still and players proven to be garbage either ability wise or with a supect mentality/not switched on.

Then to cap it off he still persists with Siggurdsson which makes us 10 men from the off and he wonders why we aint winning and get over run!

Well what the hell is going on? Carlo is a great manager, there is no doubting that. If we can’t even function with him then we truly are going to be a laughing stock.

 

[KaiserEFC]

We are honestly the team that gives players like Bruno Fernandes their reputation and highlight reel.

 

[Lloydystark]

I think this is also very true...

Obvious but bo1 seemed to do anything
