Match Thread Reading vs. Everton - Tuesday 22nd Sept - Capital One Cup Third Round - 20:00 KO

[tadpole]

We're clearly improving, we're only 1-0 down at half time this round!

But in some ways this feels worse than the first half against Barnsley. This is a very poor Reading side, but we have been awful, not one decent shot on goal, misplaced passes everywhere.

 

[MACCA75]

Browning on for Kone. Let's get some shape, order and control of the game.

 

[Rook]

He's spent the gam coverering Mori, as all he has done is give the ball away in advanced positions and then had no pace to get back where he should, its no suprise that their right sided attacker has looked their best player

should have listened to Vickery

Laughing at the criticism of Robles, it was a great ball in.

Honestly you guys, you get a scapegoat on first impressions and can't help fault them at every turn.

Same with osman, kone, Naismith and Alcaraz.

Take Osman off, give him his retirement bonus and send him home. Bring Galloway for Osman, switch to a 442 FFS.

??? We played 4-4-2 for most of that half.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

not getting the shouts negging robles, he's literally kept us in the game, one stupid punch thing is the only wrong thing he's done.

 

[MikeH72]

And you know what's coming now don't you

Deulofeu OFF, Naismith ON (46')

 

[No8Bally]

Judging by the commentary on the Everton site he's been utterly atrocious

Worse than atrocious

 

[Xenimus]

to reiterate for anyone not able to view the game, we're playing a 4-3-2(with osman playing in 5 different positions), not a 3-5-2. Mori is our LB and Lennon is our RB.

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Agree with this - nowt new from osman though.

Osman rip up his contract at half time, I literally noticed him once and that was when he fell over and lost the ball

Don't like this. A.B.G.

Get Gibson on for him.

Not working - one or both off.

And rom and kone have been so bloody bad

 

[gianthogweed]

Lukaku has to be the most lazy footballer ever atleast Kone makes a effort and gives players options Lukaku just stands around waiting for things to happen he just gets in the way and his touch is [Poor language removed] dreadful

 

[ianefc]

should have listened to Vickery

Quite

 

[FTY]

Didn't catch the first half as I couldn't get a stream for iOS (cough cough cough ;-) xx), how are we playing??

 

[Tubey]

Don't think we will lose. Lukaku has been hilariously dreadful which, obviously, means he'll score soon. It's what he does.
