Match Thread Everton v WBA, KO 15:00 Sat 20/1/18

[Big Fat Sam]

Did that performance show enough for Allardyce to give Keane a chance next to Holgate next time out? What a horrible situation we're in to have one promising youngster - and that's all Holgate is at the moment - two has-beens who are awful, and Keane who looks like a nightmare signing, to choose from at centre back. Then your third choice right back at left back, and another promising youngster who is going through a terrible run of form at right back. Is it any surprise we can't win any games?

Add to that the utter, utter crab Schneiderlin in midfield, even Gueye when he plays as he refuses to pass the ball forwards, and you see why our midfield is ought-fought every single game. Gareth Barry ran the show today in the middle of the park.

Vlasic didn't show anything, Walcott looked good and no striker in the world is going to impress in this team, so cannot comment on Tosun. Feel sorry for the guy. Rooney did more harm than good when he game on, and Bolasie is pathetic, I won't waste my breath on him. If the manager cannot see this then he'll take us down.

We deserve to be in the bottom three. I cannot see us picking up wins any time soon and if the teams below us pick up a victory or two we'll be in 15/16th place in no time. I'd say our chances of staying up are about 50/50 at the moment, especially since the manager cannot be arsed signing a left back or a centre back which we're absolutely crying out for.

Dross relegation football at its best - special mention for Bollassie did nothing - need lookman in the team and Tom Davies !
That Tosun looks as bad as Sandro did ?
Steve Walsh strikes again as Niassie looks better than both as does DCL that those two signings!

 

[Tel001]

Walcott looked good though.

You mean he looked like an actual footballer ?

 

[brigadier]

what a coward schniderlin is , hid the whole game.

14 months and counting he has done this, we will start winning games soon as hes gone.

 

[Mozza1987]

Can't even beat a terrible West Brom side at home. Disgrace. We are in a fight to stay up this season. Man I wish this season would just finish.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Bottled a must win game

Not blaming Allardyce, that XI should have been good enough

12 points still needed

Where are they coming from?

 

[Lee Smith]

I wasn't one of these people who was raging when we signed Allardyce. I thought it could work and was prepared to give him a chance, I'd even go as far as to say I was "cautiously optimistic".

ABSOLUTE LOLZ @ ME!

 

[Toffeelover]

At least two shots on target

 

[BlueToff]

We're abysmal.

Sam will be off in the summer unless he bucks his ideas up. The fans won't have it.

No bright points barring Niasse and Walcott played alright - shunted out wide and never given anything to run onto. Gutted for McCarthy.

Schneiderlin shouldn't be starting. Shouldn't be in the squad.

Vlasic shouldn't have been thrown off but equally didn't do enough.

 

[matty1878]

Roll on august. New manager is utterly desperately needed

 

[Frang]

Theo: “I got the chills walking out at Goodison”!

should of worn his snood then

 

[demo84]

We make god awful teams look like superstars

 

[Zeke]

6 points behind Leicester and Burnley....were not even gonna win our seventh place trophy...Booo!

 

[Lob]

Draw at home to West Brom is not good enough. Abysmal result by an abysmal team and an even more abysmal Manager and rightfully booed at the end, not that it will make any difference. You can actually imagine that Allardyce will be happy getting a draw. He will see it as a win such is his negative mentality. Will be glad when he is no longer in the dugout. Rubs salt in the wounds every time i see him there.

So much wrong with this club it is difficult to know where to begin. Good place to start would be clearing out the majority of the board and management.

 

[Toffeelover]

We should have started with -4-4-2
