Charlie Nicholas adding his two pence. " Surely Everton have a young left back somewhere on their books who's better than Martina " lol

So those run of games where Allardyce was getting all the plaudits when we looked solid at the back and stopped leaking goals was a fluke?

Yes.
Newcastle, Chelsea etc could have and should have scored in those games

 

[Eggs]

Anyone. NEA.

People sound surprised we're so poor under Sam. It's incredible.

..I fear this squad is poor under anybody. Those who don’t like Allardyce are blaming him because it’s him but I’m still of the opinion that anybody would struggle to get a tune out of this lot. A new manager won’t turn us into Barcelona.

 

[BlueToff]

OH NOOOOO i just found out we play again in 4 days

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

no we don't

this, as well

it's a combination of things

 

[Bob Latchford]

Rooney created the goal.

Hahaha...

Ok, Bolasie passed the ball to Rooney who crossed the ball for Walcott to head back and Niasse headed it in... was a good ball from Wayne who, as I said before I like and I want him to fit into the team and be a massive success.

Apart from this Rooney gave the ball away a lot, their midfield ran past him quite a few times and he misplaced quite a few passes.

It is possible to have a bad game and do one or two things right.

exactly my point mate.

we could of paid pep £58million to come in till july and we would still be getting similar results.

love the way everyones jumping on Sam's back, when he's only been here for a few weeks.

esp the fella's who wanted silva in.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

We want Garbutt we want Garbutt.

 

[Lad from Vienna]

almost as if sam's pre-match speech goes something like: ye, lads, i guess be solid in the back. just knock the ball about, see what happens. donmt run to hard, you don't want to be as smashed as i am when you get up there in years.

utter. bollocks.

 

[TGW89]

Sign a left back or I send Farhad my official letter of resignation as an Evertonian.

 

[T LEAFE]

Important point today. Could be vital at end of season

Had to miss the game today as was teaching mate, honestly say for one of the first times ever - wasn't even arsed about not being able to watch todays game, even under the worst days of Smith, Walker, Martinez, Koeman etc i never felt that way.

 

[Addo]

System No, Defending Disorganised, Distribution Poor, Confidence Low, No leadership,Different team every week. All breeds confidence for the opposition. On a positive point, I cannot see BFS improving the faults. He is supposed to be a manager that breeds confidence and organises teams. I believe he's been told to be more expansive at Everton, this will not happen as this expansive football confuses him. May the Everton curse bring his house well and truly down.

I can assure you I'm not asking for Barcelona. I'm asking for basic stuff. A threat and aggression in games at Goodison Park. A clear structure of recruitment, a gameplan on the field, consistency of selection, mildly attractive football with some end product, nothing flashy tho. I want to see some evidence the players have been coached into a gameplan. The nature of the goal we conceded, and the frighening inability of our players to move when we have a throw in, these are not good enough.
