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

[Mogwai]

Disappointed with the result, but saw some glimpses of what the future possibly holds with respect to our attack. If some of those passes and one twos start to happen along with a better understanding of each other’s movement, I think it could be quite good.

Schniederlin is [Poor language removed] [Poor language removed]. A disgrace to the shirt. Wtf is wrong with him. He literally does nothing.

A new left back would literally transform our team.

Walcott best on ground

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Didn't watch, but assume we were hideous?

 

[LiamG]

The problem is he is simply not good enough at the defensive side of a central midfielder's game.

Against West brom at home we should be able to live with it.

When McCarthy was replaced we looked much better.

[Rollo Tomassi]

Not beating west brom can happen and does. It's the manner of the performance and tactics that are unacceptable .

being schooled in how to attack by the team in 19th is just a joke, we were lucky to scrape a point

 

[ADT]

How to fix our team:
1. buy a left back
2. Start coleman
3. Bin every midfielder we have apart from gueye, sig and davies at a push.
4. Buy 2 new GOOD centre backs. Not ones for the future and not ones that are too old.
5. the two sams, steve walsh and bill kenwrong can eff off.

What will actually happen:
FECK ALL

We've been 9th for a few weeks now. Was looking up the table before Bournemouth away. In a slump at the moment and somehow we're still 9th. 4 or 5 teams within 3 points of us now though. Need a win against Leicester (which'll be tough). Then Arsenal away (oh dear).
Its all about getting to 40 points I'm afraid chaps. Turgid stuff this.

Was not the opening for their goal originated from Williams?

watch Williams just before the goal. his positioning is what caused the trouble. he ran higher up the pitch than 5 or 6 of our players.
him and cuco haven't got a brain between them. too often in matches they make poor decisions and leave us under pressure unnecessarily.
total liabilities.

Williams shouldn't have pushed out but Holgate and Martina both switched off. Williams had pushed out covering for Schneiderlin.

 

[JLW]

@JLW we took six weeks to realise we couldn't get anyone else

That's the issue.

I don’t care if it takes 6 months you do not employ Allarydce full stop! He’s the biggest phoney inside football bar none!

Jagielka does exactly the same, as does Keane

At least we know that Williams and Holgate can play together. We shouldn't have switched it in the first place.

 

[LiamG]

There’s no one in our team who seems capable of hitting a shot like that at the minute. (Rondon)

Williams, Holgate, Morgan, Rooney very poor today. Cuco not good enough either.

Two wingers who never hit the byline. Bolasie can not help himself but overplay.

Rooney, who I really like was horrendous when he came on, just lost the ball in dangerous positions non stop.

Gylfi doesn’t look like a 10m player. Team is all over the show at the minute, feel sorry for the lads, but also want to kill someone.

The only good thing was that we didn’t lose.

Rooney created the goal.

 

[ford_uk]

This formation simply isn't working yet we play it over and over again. Surely worth trying something else

 

[JLW]

paul lambert

I would take tony Pulis over this fat mess

 

[BlueToff]

How did Walcott perform today?

Given he was literally feeding off scraps, okay.

He ended up playing the Lennon role most of the game. Whenever he managed to cut inside he looked dangerous.

Good assist and unlucky not to score with a good volley.
