Match Thread Everton v Salford City, Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Bob Latchford]

Gylfi has done well enough tonight. Covered a lot of ground, few blocks, assist and a goal. He’s got into their area regularly as well. I’d be happy enough to keep the ghost if it wasn’t for the wages. We’ll need a squad going forward.

And right on cue....

A tap in against league 2 opposition. He's been poor.

Think thats unfair on Bernard... hes been alright. Gyfli has played some quality balls but its the other 99% that lacks ..... oh he just scored

Think he started very brightly, but his passing lets him down too much imo.
Its all about expectations though, he is one of the top earners at the club. Expect more!

 

[Darrenc34]

Not a bad performance for a cup game. All played well.

 

[GT77]

I’d like us to buy a striker

My membership of the Josh King fan-club has long lapsed but I could see the value in someone on that level if the price was right. We'll need to rest DCL/Richy at some point and I can't see how Moise is going to be the answer this season.

oooooo gylfi

 

[maccavennie]

Unlucky Gylfi

Kinell the gut on Gibson there

He’s been poor for ages but let’s enjoy the fact we’re 2-0 rather than hanging on.

Walcott doesn't contribute anything does he?
Hope Southampton or Palace have worse scouts than us.

 

[wellillwill]

....looks a terrific signing from Brands (or as @davek says, Ancelotti).

Apparently his name was on some leftover scouting notes from the Martinez era.....

 

[Azza]

As the holding centre midfielder?

*Looks at Kean, Walcott, Davies, Bernard etc.

Well he's not the holding midfielder is he, that's Davies' job as he has the legs. It's a League 2 side and he's a £40m player.

We can look at them too, apart from Bernard who's been okay, they've all equally been terrible.

 

[jinkyali]

Am I the only one who thinks we have been comfortable?

Hardly got out of third gear.
Goalie not had save to make.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Been rather decent has the Sig today. Hope it continues

Spraying balls from deep, played really well, goal and assist.

Right attitude fighting for his place.
