[Groucho]

We do realize we can play through the middle right?

We do.

Tell the players.

Davek you absolute idiot just continue your futile campaign v Baines Pity you are'nt the real Dave Kelly

 

[KaiserEFC]

Can we just go out and storm through inferior opposition, like an actual good team.

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

We've NOT been awful. Not at all. We look like we've got a goal in us. They're the home side with a partisan crowd and something to play for. Of course they're gonna have chances. We've dealt with them too, until the goal. Nice strike, out of nowhere. Still plenty to do but plenty of time to do it. One goal is probably all we need don't forget.

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

They're hopeless but should be 2-0 up and playing ten men. Pickford got away with a mugging.

 

[Neiler]

Niasse time.

 

[BlueLlama]

Going out here, back to scrapping for 7th

 

[ToffeeTownMilto]

Well we tend to be good one half and poor the other.

So hopefully the second half we'll pick up...

All Osmans fault the massive wool

 

[TommyDavo]

Some great first touches but being bullied off the ball by some snide defending and Martina doesn't help. Kenny would be better bombing forward and adding some aggression

He's been p***poor. Nobody has had to touch him he's quite happy to give it away by himself

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I have to say we looked like we were saving ourselves for Sunday in the first 20. We looked like we didn't respect the opposition whatsoever. You cannot do that against any opposition.

Not TOO bothered if they go out so its nice to watch Everton being Everton without having to wet the bed

 

[Lee Smith]

Incredibly frustrating half to watch that. Everything seemed to fall down at key moments and general passing has been poor. We haven't looked a threat at all. Lookman having a very poor game (and I was one who was calling for him to start against Stoke so I'm no hater!). Any joy we may get looks like it'll come from down the left.

The problem is Rooney up front - he isn't keeping the ball up there and keeps dropping back to where Sigurdsson should be. Take him off, put Kev on the left and DCL up front. Then Sigurdsson has at least three options when he has the ball.

Tbh this was always on the cards when we brought in so many similar type of players. Who does what now? We desperately lack pace and flair to compliment Rooney and DCL.

They should've had a pen as well. Could easily be 2-0 Split. Not good enough.
