Match Thread Everton vs West Brom 11th March 2017 15:00

Lovely. More of this please. Lukaku plays like a player about to sign a contract. Made a decent WBA side look like absolute poo.

If Ash has to post previews to get results like this, it's a must. We, and @Ashtonian , should do our duty.

 

[banno]

Great patience then professionalism to see the job out and not looking like we wanted to concede. Concentration at its best. Wish they were all as easy as that but our approach to todays game made it easy. Credit to the players and manager.

 

[the sniderman]

I would not have selected that 11

God, that team is woeful.

Someone explain to me Barry please

No Gueye either.

Crap.

Omg Barry again lol.

Cripes jags and Barry

We will concede from a set piece today.

Bloody hell, what a rotten selection

No pace in that centre back pair

Funes Mori had to be dropped, but for Jags?!?!

Deary me

Hopefully I'm proven wrong

I can see why...

No. No I can't. Can't even begin to understand that team. Still good enough for a win though.

Wonder how many pens Jagielka will give away today?

Why Barry again, was RK watching a different match last week?!

Ffs Barry is like playing with 10 men

Awful team. Hopefully they can do enough. Surely Holgate should have been given a chance. As for Barry I only hope it's because they are an immobile team.

Koeman's a tool.

first time i've looked at our starting selection and thought 'what the actual f are you doing'

that team seems destined to lose, but i've been wrong before so, hopefully one of those times.

Funes Mori is rightly dropped, but not for Jagielka, with barry in the team that's a key core of the spine that's extremely slow and easy to get past.

Holgate should have came in, and barry should not be playing for everton anymore imo.

Three defensive midfielders against West Brom. That Dutch Moyes tagline is getting more convincing.

what a terrible team selection. gareth barry!!! seriously wtf.

jagielka will probably end up giving two pen's away again as well.

Barry and Jags will cost us today. They score mainly from set pieces so we play a bloke who gives daft free kicks away near our box and a CB who gets done in the air by any half decent physical player.

Koemans cocked up twice now with his team selections in as many weeks

that's the problem. He never gets off his butt. Ugh. I can see this one going badly.

These are playing Hal Robson Kanu upfront.... watch Jags make him look world class

Good god.

What's he thinking?!

Not sure about that team at all. Jags and Barry aren't good enough any more.

What on earth is that

That side is laughable. What did Holgate do wrong?

Sake. When will that geriatric fraud do everyone a favour and retire.

Can't be arsed watching Gareth Barry chuck points away for Everton the crab.

Mmm. Have been a big defender of Koeman, but setting himself up for harsh criticism if we don't win this one.

Can see why Mori dropped, but as bad as he was last game, he's still probably our best header of the ball, which will be be important at set pieces today.

Why Barry instead of Gana - no idea.

Edit: and McCarthy injured again, natch.

Tbf Gana was really poor last week. BUT WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU KOEMAN

On my way just heard Barry again. I have no idea what he does to play ahead of gana

Nah that team is horrible to look at.

Don't have to have won the title 12 seasons in a row on career mode to know that Barry and Jagielka are toilet.

Two small centre backs, one that can't jump (Jags) against this lot of giants hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Can see us go 2 behind before scraping a draw after subs

staggering team selection, you don't need to be a fifa 17 genius to see that barry pushes the whole team back 20 yds towards our own goal.

I'm sure it's been discussed to no end but no Gana? Stupid.

Surprised at that being so easy

Very very good showing

Love a bit of hindsight me.

 

[Eggs]

..I thought the team selection was strange but the manager clearly picks a side he thinks can win the match. He got it wrong last week, he got it right this week.

 

[PITA]

Sick of hearing Pulis' annoying voice on the sideline!

You want to hear his laugh, don't you?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Happy with the win, but bigger tests still to come this season. Certain players cruising round v West Brom will be the same ones overrun at Anfield or Old Trafford. We can't carry Barry and Jags in this team no matter how comfy they look against West Brom.

**swings thru**

Made me look a right tit today.

Is right Ronald.

hmmm

 

[cronullasharks]

Didn't expect such an easy game but pulis' merry band of snide grocks were no match for Everton

 

[blue to the bone]

Everton 3 WBA 0. I think Mr Koeman knows better than you lot lollollollollol

I said I had no problem with jags and that we would win comfortably after it was announced . My post Was about the fume on here

 

[the sniderman]

Love a bit of hindsight me.

love a bit of foresight me.

Marvellous vaulting.

Dedication to the cause

*bows and leaves

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Happy to be wrong today

That being said, west Brom were rubbish
