Match Thread Hajduk Split v Everton

[Encoder]

Hopefully a bit of a wake up call

 

[desblue]

I think Rooney is better deeper and if dcl played so well as front man on Monday why change

 

[Dooguk]

Lookman gets the Osman award so far.

 

[Eggs]

...I was encouraged at times but this is a very tough tie at this stage of the competition and I think RK knows we need to score a goal tonight.

 

[everton2004]

Lookman needs the hook, looks completely lost.

 

[allen]

Score one and we kill the tie. That hasn't changed.

 

[Berenger]

Can't play a game like this with no attacking outlet at all. Especially with a less than solid RHS of defence. Great strike but that can happen. I think we need DCL more central.

 

[toffee-L]

We need to carry an actual threat 2nd half or they are going to fancy it even more. I think Sigurdsson should stay on as we know he can produce a moment of magic, even from a set piece but I think Lookman should come off, nothing he is trying has come off.

 

[MikeH72]

I'll happily give credit.

Martina has been decent tonight

No he has not

 

[sageyefc]

Probably do with miralles on for lookman here.

 

[Groucho]

The referee looking like Collina does not ease the nerves!

Haha I thought that.

Euro qualifier too.

 

[Azzurri]

haha lookman then

shades of a bonsai ferguson

A what?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Awful.

Get Lookman off for Mirallas.

Agreed. Been too wasteful in possession again. I can't say I blame Lookman as we have been too predictable (and hence they've merged on him), but he needs to learn to deal with the pressure.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Well. You know. As my late Dad used to say. "Never been a lucky club have Everton"

 

[Tubey]

There is managing the game and there is winning. We do need to win.

Managing a game is fine - there's a time for it though. If they wanted to kill the atmosphere for 10-15 minutes, sure, but you have to have a change of pace at some point.

Instead we've played like San Marino against Brazil for some reason.
