Everton vs Spurs, Match Report and MotM Poll...

[dave n]

we cannot keep shoe horning numbers 10's in the team. Sigurdsson, Klaasen, Rooney and Sandro cannot all play in the same team. Back to basics for a few weeks, 4-4-2 or something similar.

Pickford
Holgate
Jagielka
Keane
Baines
Schneiderlen
Gana
Mirallas
Vlasic
Sigurdsson
DCL

Where is Rooney then mate? He is the only goal scorer this season.

We were crap today Lou.

I don't think we're a crap team. It is going to take time.

However, the manager - in the last few games - hasn't helped that process.

The thing is though the amount of money Everton spent in the summer we should be competitive with the top six. Crap is an understatement. Shearer has just laughed at Everton and there effort to day

Natural process when a team sells a top player for bobbins and spunks the money on average crap

Utter garbage

Look, can we just bin this 3 at the back that allows nobody to be accountable for being a center back? Why is Ashley Williams still getting a game in this team? Can our defensive mids please track with their runners? And can we play 433 and DCL from the off, which allows everyone to understand what the f they are supposed to be doing?

We did play with a back 4, or at least we did for the bit of the game I actually managed to watch. That said they may as well have been sat in the dressing room for all the good they did.

Spurs are class. We are not.

I am coming around to the idea that a Rooney injury might be a good thing right now. Sure he has been our classiest player on the pitch and only goal scorer but everyone else is playing out of position to accomodate him.
I would suggest we might be better with Gylfi at 10 and Sandro or Lookman playing of DCL with the possibility of Klaasen or Davies subbing in. I'd also give Vlaassic a half next time. This wont solve our defensive issues but that is simpler, unless forced to, never play Williams or Martina again.

Get him to eff.

Hoped his petulant tackle near the end resulted in a red so I don't have to put up with him for 3 games, at least.

Too old and has'nt got the legs to play every game mate, give him some time on the bench and try and get back to basics, actually having a shape to our team and some kind of game plan, rather than 4 or 5 players all trying to occupy the same space

 

[degsy]

I am not casting a vote on principle.

It was just dire.

A total carbon copy of the day we played Arsenal in March 2016 and which finally convinced me Bobby was done here.

You read my mind.
my thoughts were...biggest load of since, since well the last load of
would've been raining cushions after 50mins. back in the day
The Dutch Moyes is slow turning into The Dutch Mike Walker.
If we get anything at United it will be a miracle but will just paper over the cracks
Just like the last two, Koeman hasn't a clue on his best 11, nor how to play them

 

[hibbo'sclass]

Complete humiliation if not for Pickford.

 

[IllinoisBlue]

We are not there yet but perspective, Spurs are a very strong team ane the majority of them have played together a few years now whereas we have 7 new players in starting lineup. Brutal set of fixtures to start season but it will come good in time. Have faith.

Trouble is you could spend 500 mill and still not have a balanced or great team I don't think the phrase money buys success may not work out for us,I very much hope I'm proven wrong.

 

[Walken]

He was the chosen one. He kept faith with the Brown Shoed God while those around him lost hope and were consumed by anger. He foresaw the folly of popgun attack and predicted doom but was mocked and ridiculed.

What have we done??

 

[Igrok]

Money is curse if u don't know how to use it...

Quite right.

We do have some good footballers but I do see too many of the same type and a major lack of pace today...

Lennon, lookman, and super kev might have all stretched spurs more than our slightly lumpen looking st set of midfield 'talismans'.

Dcl will drag defenders around too.

Where else do you see the improvements coming from ?
