Match Thread Luton Town v Everton - Chat, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Who do I want to play instead of Doucoure?

For starters tonight here's the options

Dobbin - similar position he takes up for u21s and has pace
Mcneil - then have Dobbin on the left
Danjuma - then have Mcneil/Dobbin in Doucoure role and Danjuma on the left
Chermiti - let him find the space and play pressing up with a striker

That's literally just off the top of my head and the great thing is, in the main they can all control a football.

I'm not talking about playing like 1970 Brazil, I'm talking about a player being able to

A) control the round thing
B) pass the round thing in a fashion where it helps the teammate to be able to control the round thing

It's embarrassing watching a fella jog around with shins for feet blagging that it's all sound and then fans excusing it as if it's acceptable when there is actual real alternatives

Shins for feet

Is right.

Luton as a club and fan base are abhorrent. But their football is far easier on the eye than ours.

But looks like their fans will have to watch that prettier football it in a lower league whilst we stay up despite being docked 8 points.

Unfortunately seems like we are going to be, if anything, in an even worse financial position next season and may also be docked more points.

Dyche’s style of football isn’t my personal preference but it might be the only thing that keeps us as a PL club into the new stadium - I don’t have much faith that if we get relegated we’re bouncing back up.

To be honest it was always going to be a tough one tonight,the big fella up front back for them and virtually their season resting on this game,could have won it,could have lost it,point is ok with where we are at currently I think.

Six weeks ago, that comes off Branthwaite's shin and rockets into the top corner of the net. Thinking Coleman's og against Bournemouth.

From where we are now to where we were then eh? What a glorious April.

 

[Daytripper]

Luton’s ground reminds me of the Villa Bella from Only Fools and Horses

 

[LinekersLegs]

Yet, it looked like the travelling fans clapped him off the pitch? He got done on their goal by a big lad outpowering him, aside from that, was he really that bad?

I think they like Young pretending he was about to take the penalty!

Bed ! lol

good result...a bit of a bogey team for us this season...as we were there big bogey team in the 80s...personified by sheedy's last gasp penalty to send the '85 FA Cup semi into extra time...and victory. What a moment that was...absolute limbs!!

PS: for the logophilliacs out there: an alternative word for a bogey team is borrowed from German: angstgegner

 

[ForeverEverton]

Not arsed about the result tonight, would have been nice to send them virtually packing but wasn`t to be...

Since safety I think the main priority for the club is to get the ownership issue sorted so we can at least start to plan for next season, we are just being kept in this perpetual limbo....

lol deary me. Small-time Tommy Robinsons.

Bed ! lol

How can anyone get that emotional over a game? I mean... yes if you're defendingva 70 year continuous run in the top flight - but for a team that takes relegation, mediocrity and promotion as a matter of course....

Should see me when I'm playing Monopoly.

Bed ! lol

Just because the Tories never got in the council election

What’s the point? Prime Barcelona with Messi Iniesta Xavi in their team and Guardiola managing them lost 2-0 at home to a newly promoted Hercules side with Drenthe playing in it. Results happen in football to all teams at all levels. The league table shows you wer’e a better side than them by a fair distance (and a better side than Brentford, yes Brentford). One game is just one game.

I couldn't agree more with what you're saying. But that performance tonight was almost unforgivable. We're playing a very poor side and we're under no pressure whatsoever. We should be playing nice easy football all over the park. It was horrendous.
