[bag a yoko]

Wow. Apparently this is classed as entertainment in some parts of the country.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Crowd made him fully aware of what they thought

 

[yakublue]

klaassen looks awful

 

[KaiserEFC]

Big fan of Keane, but playing Williams/Jagielka next to him is like buying a Ferrari then driving it around with no wheels on.

 

[Jamiednm]

Lookman and Davies for Klassen and Rooney.

 

[Petit]

Is Rooney now playing defensive midfield?

 

[PeregrineT]

Schneiderlin looks like he is deathly afraid of going forward, and thats really hurting our attack.

 

[jwnsno]

GOT: Kenny or Holgate as starting right back?
Koeman: Calvert-Lewin.
GOT:

 

[Petit]

Lookman and Davies for Klassen and Rooney.

No for DCL and Williams.

 

[Kenshin]

Why is Rooney further back than klassen?

What is the point in That?

 

[Joey66]

God this is horrenfous. Poor from Koeman too. Playing a system that heavily relies on wing backs which we have none. Two DMs who can't pass forward. Slow build up like Martinez and hoof like Moyes.

Don't mention the good pointslol

 

[ProZ]

And there we have it, just seen Rooney morph into the liquid terminator t1000 at the stroke of 35 mins.

This game SCREAMS Ross Barkley

Not sure about that, but it defo screams "decent tactic" and "players playing where they should" to be fair.

 

[Aar_the_Toffees]

How are none of Davies, Lookman, Mirallas, Barkley playing?
