Match Thread Everton v Rotherham. Sat. 9th Jan, 2021. 12.00. FA Cup 3rd round

[TheBigIguana]

Pressing non existent and poor in possession

Yep. Our press is so disorganized that they've just popped completely ridiculous loose passes into the center and gotten away with it. Back four is disconnected from midfield I think.

 

[TheSecondComing]

We aren’t going to win the cup, so no point in getting knickers in a twist I suppose.

That’s the spirit

Possible but the flashbacks may still require doctors to administer vodka shots into the eyeball. Just like I'm doing now. Has the added benefit that your vision goes blurry so you don't have to watch how pathetic we are.

The fact the game is not being televised in Canada appears to be to my benefit.

BT's camera work is hilariously bad.

Getting assigned to work an everton game is a punishment for doing something stupid on a premium RS game. They are a bunch of misfits and troublemakers. That journo who dares question klopp for having a go at the broadcasting is probably on camera duty for this.

Unfortunately if you think James was the worst player you've got it wrong.

In a side who cannot retain possession and win second balls, he will always be difficult to accommodate. Its not his fault, its the rest of the team. But we would be more compact in a game like this if he wasnt playing.

 

[when i score we riot]

Aye, very few positives.

Cenk's goal is great, but he's been his usual invisible self otherwise.
Wingers are not doing much, not even tracking back.
Gomes and Davies are seeing a lot of the ball, but failing most of their attempts. Credit to Rotherham for that, honestly, but we're far from good enough.
Defence looking shaky, hard for them to put play together. Wing backs must be frustrated with the players ahead of them.
Robin Olsen is our best players by miles and miles, huge credit to his effort today.

 

[ste d' indica]

Got it on TalkSport, as if its not bad enough I'm having to listen to Trevor Sinclair coming out with gems like 'Kenk Toy-san'.

 

[tnc85]

It’s a bit sunny. We can forgive them !

 

[ForeverEverton]

Total rubbish, get a goal and then switch off..... we need to make changes and the sooner this deadwood is sold the the better, they are seriously holding the club back.

Unfortunately we wont be doing much business this window so we will be 8th to 12th finish again.

 

[JMT]

Commentators can't wait to write the narrative can they?
Have a look at the score you Meff, we are winning.

"da MAGIC OF DA FA CUP"
It's the worst thing going.

 

[Blue Roo]

This first half shows just how big a job Carlo has on his hands sorting us out.

Monumental.
He desperately needs a player of James quality on the opposite side.
Instead he has Gomes.

 

[BlueToff]

Taking the lead in games early is genuinely the worst thing that happens for our performances sometimes. Always totally switch off.

We're playing Rotherham and the problem is our compactness. Jesus wept.

 

[canuckblue]

Anyone know if we can get a few of those rockets the kopites used so we can fire them up a few backsides at halftime?

What midfield?
