Match Thread Everton v Valencia, Sat, 15.00

[leslad]

Tosun showed some excellent touches, gana driving us forward well and richarlison and Walcott a constant threat.

Insanely bad defensively though, especially down the left/centre. Baines' race is run as starting LB.

He does look good. Very industrious, and good awareness of how to move the ball into efficient space so he can move forward at speed.

Not sure he looks 50+ million good or whatever it was though. Hope I’m wrong.

it was £35 million with addons i think, I get your point though. I think he will do as the Pienaar replacement I have been screaming out for. Pacey, skillful and seems to have a fair bit on awareness about him...that ball to Wallcott ?? terrible picture quality here... was immense

Morgan and Gana are surprisingly dominating the midfield against Parejo and Kondogbia, but sadly if anything goes through our CBs are not fit for purpose

I think you guys need a new CB and a new CM. Your two CM's seem to panic whenever they're pressed and they're going to give up a lot of goals through errors. You need someone to spread the play and someone who can pick a pass but who can also defend. I can't think of any player that would be realistic tbh.

You absolute muppet.

 

[orly]

Honestly thought we were excellent in attack there

"I can't think of anyone realistic tbh"

Shut up you wum moron.

Alright sorry.
Go sign Kroos or Thiago etc

Everton is my second team you moron. I'm saying I don't know any players who fit the mould outside the top players who realistically won't leave their clubs to play at Everton.

Most decent players in this market will cost at least £40 million. The weird thing is normally the prices wouldn't be that high outside of the top 6 but I look at the fees you guys pay and they're always quite hefty. Is there a reason teams seem to want to fleece you guys?

You pose a good question, I’m not sure I have the answer to that, though I’m sure someone on this forum will.

Just wait til Oumar get his chance playing with Theo and ricky, gonna be a cricket score

Like Bournemouth who've had a £27M bid rejected for Lerma?

 

[Flano21]

Think the front 6 have done well. Back 5, not so much (maybe being harsh on Coleman)

Stick with your first team then an get in the bin!!

 

[tadpole]

Well if there was any doubt about where we still need to strengthen, that 45 minutes has answered that question once and for all

 

[thebluenosebolt]

Have to say, that's the best i've seen Schneiderlin play in a while to. One touch to set then move it on. He's playing forwards as well.

Finally- Sig': he's putting his foot in when needed, marking space so it's difficult for Valencia to play through us. That ball to Walcott where he dropped his arse and jumped over the keeper was inch perfect too.

We NEED a CB. Drastically.

has to be the next signing for sure.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I think Digne will be a difference maker on defense. He’s also quite dangerous and skillful going forward. I used to watch him st Roma, my Serie A team.

Barcelona fans reckon he was better defensively mate, but not the great going forward (saying that, we are talking of Barcelona)

You got the link mate??
