It's Luck.

[McBain]

It's that simple.

We do not get any. Ever.

I haven't seen it when we need it and every other team is getting it.

You can bang on about Selection this and Substitutes that, form this and Roberto that.

The one chance the other team gets, they take. We get the same chance - and it's suddenly Gordon Banks in goal. It's the Gods.

The referee finished the game off for us today which should have been 1-1, with Zobo or whatever his name is with the Point Blanker at Timothy and Lukaku with the equaliser.

One other thing that I want you to remember kicking that can down the road with anger in your hearts -

WE ALWAYS PLAY GOD-AWFUL FOR HALF OF THE SEASON, AND TREE TEARINGLY TERRIFIC IN THE OTHER HALF. IT NO MATTA WHICH ONE.

Did you forget that, Everton?

We used to have it down to a fine art even during games.

You could set your Smart Phone to it.

You forget this, Everton.

See you in 2015.

This post has improved my mood somewhat.

 

[Everton 1878 NSNO]

we have got luck this season and we have messed up on our own, this season so far for me hasnt started I have not seen one full match where we have played with 90 mins of commitment, we go ahead and we slack off and believe we are too good and then let the other teams in and cant recover, we go behind from a lazy start and then we are finding banks 0f 4 4 2 in our way and cant recover, this isnt even a season of transition the team are scared so he is picking the experienced older players to try to win games when that was what he said he wanted to reduce when he arrived, the age of the squad, why cant they pass forward and accurately anymore, opposition teams arent there to let you do it, it is like everton expect them to let them play their way and when it doesnt happen they panic. we have been playing a bit dirty and not the everton way lately as well which shows more panic already. the season wont change if he doesnt use more of the squad for premier league matches though they have done a job when needed hibbert distin shouldnt play, besic needs time out to learn the game again he could be good but he keeps messing up, barkley needs too slow down and learn when to pass, lukaku needs hold up play training, baines needs corner training and crossing training again. I think their is a clique at everton which has kind of been destablised somewhat and their is disharmony, maybe with piennar not playing and distin out for awhile, just an assumption.. different ways of playing and winning are needed, martinez said he tries to learn from mistakes well he is making the same ones weekly, from last season to this one is a shocker, in saying that the man city match I saw improvement in the way they played going forward for parts, now maybe their are too many chiefs at everton and not enough indians, they need to get back to playing correctly.

We got a massive slice yesterday when 50% of City's team got injured and Aguero had to go off.

Still seething at Marriner's reffing, the most inept, bias performance from a Ref since Clattenburg in the Derby.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

We have been like a pub team at times in respect of our concentration levels this season IMHO,from the first two games,Leicester we score a great goal to go one up we concede instantly defending terribly from a corner instead of at least being able to sit on a lead against a newly promoted side,we regain the lead and see it through you would think but no poor,poor defending a late equaliser and two points down the drain,Arsenal,2-0 up at home seven minutes to go and we end up hanging on for a point,its set the tone for the season,unprofessional I'm afraid,top teams,or teams with aspirations may commit these errors but not week in week out like us.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Lukaku standing off side but scoring the opening goal against West Ham was fortunate.

 

[zirc]

We haven't had the rub of the green in that I don't believe any of our wins we were 2nd best and we've dropped points in a lot of matches where we were the better team. I read a statistic that we were leading the league in goals from individual mistakes.

We've gotten a few pieces of individual luck, like aguero going off yesterday but we haven't been able to capitalise on them.

As was Wolfsburg having a legitimate goal ruled out for offside before we scored over there.

Have you ever heard of punctuation lad

 

[Goat]

Yeah, teams are lucky that our manager doesnt know how to pick or motivate a side.

NSNO

 

[Big Fat Sam]

We've had our fair share of luck, just loads of injuries, probably more than most teams especially to key players for extended periods of time, and that is what has massively derailed our season. It'll make a monumental effort from here to get anywhere near top six imo.

 

[SimonB]

The last bit of luck I remember us having was in a Derby. Westerveld hit a free kick, deep into stoppage time. It bounced off the back of Don Hutchinson and sailed back over Westerveld's head into the net to put Everton into the lead.

 

[kithnou]

We are rubbish. Close thread.

You can bang on about Selection this and Substitutes that, form this and Roberto that.

The one chance the other team gets, they take. We get the same chance - and it's suddenly Gordon Banks in goal. It's the Gods.

The referee finished the game off for us today which should have been 1-1, with Zobo or whatever his name is with the Point Blanker at Timothy and Lukaku with the equaliser.

One other thing that I want you to remember kicking that can down the road with anger in your hearts -

WE ALWAYS PLAY GOD-AWFUL FOR HALF OF THE SEASON, AND TREE TEARINGLY TERRIFIC IN THE OTHER HALF. IT NO MATTA WHICH ONE.

Did you forget that, Everton?

We used to have it down to a fine art even during games.

You could set your Smart Phone to it.

You forget this, Everton.

See you in 2015.

You've got it,all we need is our players to carry a lucky rabbits foot on to the pitch and we'll start to play fast flowing football and all the decisions will go our way......sorted!!!

Unfortunately it's not true,if we get one chance in a game it needs sticking away,no luck just skill and quality finishing,we need pace speed and creativity,nothing to do with luck,hard work and fitness,we need to better our opponents,outwit them tactically,that's not luck it's fact

Now if your theory is true then we'll win every game in 2015 and the champs league is a reality,however if our form doesn't improve I fear we don't have the tools for the fight and our manager doesn't have the acumen to lead us away from the trap door because make no mistake we are in the sh*t currently and let's have some perspective everyone has been talking about Aston Villa being in a relegation battle and they're above us

This isn't a pushing of the panic button but people seem to be relying on 'ah we'll we've got QPR next we'll beat them........we'll come good second half of the season,we always play poorly first half but fly after Christmas' I hope so but we don't look like we've got that in us at present and our manager thinks we took the game to City,what game was he watching?????
