Match Thread Everton v Swansea. 24th Jan at 1330.

Was handball leading up to their second goal, but we still had plenty of time to still defend it before it hit the back of the net.

 

[Huyton Layne]

I've said it all season, we play mainly coming from behind.
3-2 to us.

Fixed

caused all by himself trying to be clever

No, it's caused by 'expert' tits like Samuel, and Football Manager melts like yourself and @matty1878 , who have been down his neck over the last two weeks, forcing him to be a completely different player to the one he naturally is.

 

[R.Reddington]

Why? It's his system they're playing in.

I'm sure his system forced Stones to make a stupid decision. Swansea are on fire due to them having a new manager, they won't play as good all season.

 

[nsno-chris]

Why is it Martinez' fault that Stones is being crap and T-HoW can't cover his near post and was crouching for some reason, so that a ball at chest level got OVER him?

And, as I said 3 weeks ago, playing "our strongest team at all times" is absolute madness with the schedule we have and it's clear to see why now - injuries and fatigue always go hand in hand, this is another one of those cases.

Because he wants his players to retain possession in stead of putting it into the crowd and reorganising

 

[riddick]

I'm going to hope that this is one of those 'we only play one good half' games and hope the second half is just boss.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Being outplayed by Swansea, this is a disgrace

 

[Jags..class]

The fans don't know the word support

 

[Jxg]

You called me for player calling and the called Kone.

Yes, because the shoite that people like yourself are spewing about Stones is messing with him, Kone is naturally crap

 

[Blue Juice]

There is literally no movement in the middle. Did Cleverley actually come on?

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Feel sorry for Stones here. His heads gone and the crowd are on his back

He doesn't help himself at times though, he almost looks like he does things to wind the crowd up.

 

[By god I'm blue]

He can't get the team up for a game for me. Today is a great opportunity to kick the season on.

He can get them passing the ball in pretty circles, but can he actually motivate a team? My guess is not.

 

[jayden28]

Our fans are an absolute [Poor language removed] disgrace. Not even surprised we're playing so poorly. If every ball doesn't go forward you get booed. Actually embarrassed for this club right now.

You even watching the game?,it's embarrassing,getting outplayed by swansea ffs,7 odd wins in 30 games and you expect the crowd to be happy.

 

[daza_1973]

Why do we always cop for the teams with new managers in tow ??

 

[nsno-chris]

Booooooooooo
