Match Thread Hajduk Split v Everton

[Neiler]

Lookman gets the Osman award so far.

Hibbert got of lightly naming that.

 

[Hummus]

Have they forgot which way they should be playing, dreadful & Martina just poor
Way to long on the all ball at times

 

[cromofo]

what a goal. the atmosphere...

Everton not looking good. This is when Hajduk thrives. Step up or go down next half

 

[HughesyEFC]

Put DCL up front not on the wing

 

[Tree13]

Hardly hanging on by a thread. Scored a worldie and they look no better than MK Dons.

We have created absolutely nothing however, and need to score the next goal to avoid a nervy finish to this tie.

 

[sageyefc]

I'll happily give credit.

Martina has been decent tonight

He terrifies the life out of me defensively, always seems on the verge of a brainfart, too laid back

 

[swisso]

Hadjuk are a poor team and they've played poorly.

Couldn't take better advantage of that at Goodison and can't seem to now either.

 

[Eggs]

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

..I think he wants Sigurdsson playing no10. I reckon he'll change it because Sigurdsson lacks game time. Rooney will drop, DCL will go up top and Mirallas will probably come on.

A masterclass in negative possession play this. If you were looking at the throw ins alone you would think we're not interested in scoring.

We press high....and that's about it. I see no creativity or strategy. It's a mess most of the time.

 

[TyphooToffee]

We might need to wake up a bit

We've had our bad half. Nailed on we'll get an early second half goal. Probably a Siggi screamer from a free kick

 

[faddy the blue]

If Ronny wants to play 3 5 2 in every game then he needs pace to counter attack and good passers. I'm not understanding his tactics at all ao far. We play 3 defenders, none of them are ball playing, 2 DMs and them 2 wing backs who honestly aren't wing backs. The front three should be our creative trio but only DCL has the pace to get behind with his movement. This is too defensive imo.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Lookman is still too tepid for this sort of atmosphere and occasion. Underhits passes and gets bullied physically. Bring Mirallas on.

He is rattled by the occasion. It is understandable. Mirallas needs to get on to the field ASAP

 

[Toffeeslam]

They did nothing up to then now unless we score next it's gonna be a tricky half this.

 

[PITA]

If we don't score we're probably going out.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Same old Everton, conceding a worldy.
No worries lads. Keep playing.
