Match Thread Norwich City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[degsy]

Crying out for 4 box to box combative midfielders with speed, can pass and carry a goal threat. Hopefully he looking in the French league

Fixed that for you

Fixed that for you

Ha 4 would be great if we had the money

But can they do it on a hot, beautiful night in Norwich?

Yes. Yes they can.

I went for Keane because he did a goal.

Q) Whats the biggest room at Goodison Park

A) room for improvement

We havent had a proper Mid Field Unit for years - all we have is a poor players in individual positons No.10, No. 8, whatever the Carsley position was called - and we had 2 of those some days, etc, etc.

Cost a lot of money?
Not if we bought quality over quantity during the last 3 or 4 seasons. We must have wasted £200M on 8 lumps of crap.

Wasted loads of money over the last few years.
Ancellotti seems to know what he is doing
The defence looks strong even Pickford who I am not his greatest fan looks more composed.
Up floor dcl is improving fast and offers pace and aggression with Richo
Midfield is the area to be addressed now. Strong combative midfielders need to be brought in. Still give Gomes a chance although he seems to struggle with the pace of the game. If we could sort the midfield out we can really push on.
Ps id lik a CB, LW too if we have the money

We need three or four.

Yeah,it's weak, really weak. I don't think we are far off, 2 or 3 good signings will make a huge difference.

I normally agree with most things you say - but have to say either there is a joke going over my head here or you spelt some other player's name wrong?

* Noone looks more terrified when the ball comes to his feet under pressure in the team
* he usually just spanners it somewhere so its not his problem anymore.
* He is fine running with the ball.... as long as its full pelt down an empty touchline
* And ... I mean literally the thought that goes through my head every time gets the ball anywhere near the opposition half is "How will he screw it up this time?"

.....his performances haven’t been great, but he has the ability and confidence to receive the ball on the spin, he can go past opposition players and then make ground with his running power. We have nobody capable of running away from the opposition in central areas (Gbamin probably brought in to do this), I think Iwobi can.

Whilst his crossing was generally ordinary last night (DCL should’ve converted one), he can pick a pass from central areas. I think his statistic of passes into the box at Arsenal was up there with the best.

Have a look at his pass that put Kean through on goal in the away Derby earlier this season. Everything was geared to him safely passing it to the right, then he slid that magnificent ball to give Kean a clear run on goal. That pass has stuck with me, I just hope it wasn’t a one-off.

2 votes for Tom Davies, based on 45 minutes of absolute dross, you have to be joking!!!!!!

 

[the_toffees_bosnia]

Leicester will spank our asses if Tom and Gomes start again together...

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Everton win away on a 3 day turnaround, in 30 degree heat, after running their arses off against the RS in a very creditable performance and keep a clean sheet, never look troubled at the back, just a bit disjointed going forward after a 3 month break and everyone is still moaning?!

Yep.
All your 'plus' points aren't the problem
Mid Field is the main problem.

We have a good chance of Europe as these games are all tactical based, there no crowd so no emotion and it showed. Norwich are awful and will go down.
Ancelotti got it tactical spot on both games an but for the fact it’s impossible for us to be the reds, we should have 6 points.
Hopefully Ancelotti will our play Brenda next week
