Yep, we're going to really struggle now if we don't get at least 2 of our players back, don't forget Stones out now so that also Terry out of the team. Chelsea have a better replacement as well, where ours are struggling.
How do you know. Jose plays the same team every week.
 
Journo."well Roberto what did you think of everton performance?"

Roberto " I thought we showed great CHARACTER. It was close to SPECIAL. Tim Howard performance was UNCHARACTERISTIC . Our attacking play was UNIQUE."

This prob isn't exactly what he said post match but I'm guessing I'm close.....
#robertoscript

nah tbf, he said we under performed first half. Said we played bette run the 2nd and De Gea made two world class saves.

Only thing he did wrong was blame the ref instead of Howard.

Oh and yeh the classic #48hours about our latest injury
 
Well I've met quite a few lads off here who would disagree, Whatever you say though super fan[/
Am no super fan feller , all you do is moan moan and moan If i was a gambling man id bet you never set foot in goodison park as well .
 
We have been leaking goals, Our best 4 players are out, He's trying to shore things up
your right Del we were far to open pre season and the first few games. Perhaps he thinks if we press high, teams will play through us, but we stopped them outplaying us when we pressed.
 
I love your positivity Abraders and I am desperate for rom to succeed. I think I would be Happier if he ran himself into the ground for the cause and not play well than to coast like he's doing at the minute.
Appreciate it pal :).

Your description there though, looks a little similar to say Straq? or even Jelavic? Running themselves into the ground for the cause but ultimately missing sitters (that is specifically aimed at Jelly who missed countless chances).

Do you want strikers like them to be leading our attacking line, or would you rather the quality of Lukaku, who would only need 1 proper chance, to score a goal? Despite his overall poor performance.

Then again, saying this, Eto'o's ??? hold/link up play has been nice thus far, and would've created more than Lukaku today. But he'll be dropped for Villa i'm sure, with Eto'o or Naismith starting upfront for us.
 
Ok fair enough, I still think he has a role to play but I also think we are not far from turning a corner. Oviedo was a real plus coming in today and could be a long term alternative, hopefully Coleman and McCarthy will be back and should be seeing in Ross soon. I think 80% of teams in the prem would be struggling with our key injuries. We've played 4 of the perceived top 6 teams in 7 games. I just think we will start building our points haul now but I'm there to be shot at if docent happen between now and Christmas.
We've also played 3 who will end up in the bottom 6.

I think with the lack of attacking threat with Barkley,Kev and Coleman missing he might think we are less of a threat up front and would be better being tighter at the back

God knows
 
Strength in depth is still our biggest problem.
Hibbert, Besic, McGeady and Pienaar are just not good enough replacements for Coleman, McCarthy, Barkley and Mirallas.

And don't get me started on our strikers - only Naismith comes near meeting that description.

Bit harsh on Besic. he's decent.

McGeady is better played alongside Mirallas, as we then have 2 pacey wingers to open play up.

Pienaar is just back from injury, don't blame him, but he is getting on a bit. As is Hibbert.
