Mirallas second

The best player again hands down wasn't with us last year. I hope we can find a few more like that in January.

 

[Abraders]

He was the best of a bad bunch in the first half but made no impression later. Deulofeu has lost a bit too. There's no difference between him and Lennon now

Pretty much true, but Del has a lot more potential and to me far more valuable than Lennon in the long run.

Bolasie ran out of ideas rather quickly again, he's particularly hit and miss, it seems. That being said, I like him. He's definitely one of the first options currently.

I also thought Barry had one of his poorer games today during his tenure at Everton.

a goalie with his hands down, weve got sketlenburg mate

You can see now why Stek has never nailed a long term spot at a top club; he is error-prone.

Robles is far better and I hope he will get a chance now.

Is

is it really???

Yes it is

Thankfully it wasn't another Lotto and Ludo performance - (yet another roll-over and die)

Bolasie tries, just not the right things. He never gets his head up. Deleuofeu always gets his head up. He doesn't deliver enough either but at least he looks like he's got a football brain. I think he deserves a run.

What I said a long time ago (might've not even been here? Not sure) - Bolasie's crosses all go to two areas - near or far post, penalty box. It's his default, and when teams are decent - it doesn't work.

Also Cleverley is becoming worse by the game. FFS

Cleverly is crap. He'd struggle to get into most PL sides. Fact.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Cleverly is crap. He'd struggle to get into most League One sides. Fact.

Fixed that for you mate.

...a couple of additional points from me;

- I've posted how much I enjoyed watching ibrahimovic and what a contrast he was to the CF at the other end. Saying that, I was in no doubt watching the incident live that he hurt Coleman purposefully. He's a massive man and put his full weight into the fall, pressing Coleman to the ground before leaving a few hits to his head. He was leaving a mark but what a demonstration of back to goal play from an old man.

- not sure if others have mentioned or noticed but the reaction of Osman in the commentary box when Baines scored was great to see. To be fair, Carragher was also fist pumping but we know they aren't keen on United.

 

[TyphooToffee]

The analysis of Everton was right, no optionsgoing forward and couldn't string 2 passes together. It was quite worrying seeing it from a far on how far apart they were.

We lack movement and someone like pienaar

I have to agree with you, Chris. But at least we showed a big of fight. Had we lost 0-1 I would have been disappointed not felt as depressed and embarrassed as I did after the Southampton game.
