Gylfi's been everywhere and his passing has been fine as well.

Utter shabite player, offers nothing, even his set pieces are hitting the first man every time

 

[streeky]

davies for gana, the lad is off after his next tackle

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Good to hear boos directed at opposing players for a change.

 

[riddick]

Niasse for DCL. The lad offers absolutely nothing.

Davies for Vlasic.

Wtf??

 

[Gladystweet]

We've been dreadful, but still an improvement.

It's just not working Ronald

 

[Petit]

Get gylfi and Rooney off for Lookman and Mirallas. Both coming too central leaving acres of space down the flanks.

Smart. Take off the only efc player who poses a goal threat.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

To be fair, he could have given a a foul against Gana before the goal

Except it wasn't a foul, he got the ball. Just because Xaca falls over (like the rest of the Arsenal side) every time he's tackled, doesn't make it a foul.

 

[Donald Twain]

we're still in and so are the crowd!

 

[D410]

unless he changes the formation I sense a collapse from us.

 

[lungo]

This.

I didn't mind the back three but it's being exposed.

Switch to a four (I'd take Williams off purely because of the booking, but I think Keane has been much worse) and get Davies in.

Vlasic on the right and Sig left, Rooney behind DCL.

Just presses us up the pitch a bit.

I would still take Keane off. Hes by fare the worst Everton player

 

[Frankie Four Fingers]

go 442 and lets get things simple

 

[Petit]

We've been dreadful, but still an improvement.

It's just not working Ronald

No improvement. Worse than against Lyon.

 

[BigshoutLB]

This defensive formation is inviting the pressure

The fact that their full back scored from open play shows they don't care about committing men forward because they have no one to defend against on the wing

It's a joke that this is allowed to continue

Swap out one of the cbs for another midfielder?

Davies?

 

[faddy the blue]

I'm surprised he hasn't even put Besic on the bench as Schnides is injured and Mccarthy maybe not ready. We could have used him in the 2nd half, put him aside Gana.

 

[kenada_blue]

We're not.

We let them get the initiative but their goal came from a mistake by Baines who gave a crap pass when we were on the counter.

It's stupid mistakes that cost us. And we get scared.

Rooney's all-round play has been awful but he's got that moment of magic in him.

They've opened us up on every attack. Pickford has kept us in it.

Regardless of his all round play, Rooney does what no one in the team can. Vlasic has drove well from midfield but positionally is awful. Gana was everywhere.

The back like is terrible. DCL is lonely. Siggurdson a passenger.
