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

[Tel001]

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

I agree but shock results happen ... this tho wasn't a shock and that's the problem

 

[Berenger]

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

When McCarthy was replaced we looked much better.

If the rest of the team were athletes on top form then possibly. But we are not a team that can carry passengers at the moment. Especially when we aren't getting a good 90 from Rooney in an attacking sense, we are getting just a few decent moments per match.

We always up the ante when we're still in games in the second half. The problem is that we haven't found a way to be decent from the start of the game at all for the entire season.

 

[Azza]

Theo talking about how we needed to go further up the pitch, get more players in the box... can he be the new manager as well?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Horrific performance. Toxic atmosphere.

SAM OUT

 

[argietoffee]

Bolasie looks really off the pace. Months away. I'd have Lookman on.

Vlasic is a midfielder not a winger.

Very disappointing today. Well done Niasse...again

Bolasie months away from what?

I take the games and show repeats to the boys to show them constantly what not to do.

I have never seen a pro footballer with less football intelligence and he was the same before his injury.

Utter show pony.

 

[JLW]

Didn't watch, but assume we were hideous?

Correct!

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

The worst side I've ever seen play for us. I'd sooner have our 90's teams back then rely on these worthless gang of mercenarys, I've never hated an Everton side more. Only two or three players even trying with the rest simply going through the motions. We didn't even derserve a point there, just awful. If we stay up this season, and I'm not convinced we will then it's an embarrassing reflection on this league.

 

[ADT]

How did Walcott perform today?

managed to get an assist out of nothing

 

[Furey1878]

Our central midfield is shocking, can’t build anything positive going forward with Schneiderlin atm.

 

[Daytripper]

I've been like that since Martinez was sacked.

This comes across awful but I can't help disliking the board, the phoneyness and some of our fans, particularly the more vocal on social media who see themselves as spokesmen. It's the "it's not that bad" attitude that grates me, why don't more think like "hey, this isn't good enough" What other aspiring big club would tolerate with half the [Poor language removed] we have? It's gone on for too long for me, I never want us to lose but it hasn't felt the same in a positive sense for years.

 

[Berenger]

Wish this guy would quit his Dave Whelan tribute act and become more of a statesman.

 

[matty1878]

We’re no better we’re infact getting and it could get worse. More awful football and more defeats to come.

 

[trueblue10]

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.

4 points off Stoke who are 17th. I'll say that again, 4 points off Stoke who are 17th.

We are a premier league team ( at the moment) , and week in week out we start games with no left footed outfield player in our team because we haven't got any.

At the start of September we had 1. He's 33 and was expected to play every game this season.

We can't defend down our left, and we can't attack down our left.

That leaves the centre and the right.

We can't attack through the middle because we play 2 dm. That leaves 1 attacking midfielder.

That leaves the right, where we ask a 20 year old right back who cannot cross the half way line without getting a nose bleed, and the right winger to supply the crosses for our centre forward.

We must be the easiest team in the league to defend against because if you cut out our right hand side, we do not offer a threat from anywhere else on the pitch.

 

[Steve Wigan]

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.

If we beat Leicester and Arsenal we could easily finish 7th.

 

[argietoffee]

Our central midfield is shocking, can’t build anything positive going forward with Schneiderlin atm.

Absolutely correct
