Match Thread Ruzomberok vs Everton, Thursday 3rd August, 7.45pm

[JJK]

Dreadful 45 minutes again. Shocking lack of pace or width in that team. Falling asleep here.

 

[LEONARD]

As dull as dishwater.

 

[collymcd]

We badly need a target man up top so we can mix things up in certain moments. We're far too predictable

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Gana and Morgs is overkill, need Davies alongside one of them. Rooney and Klaassen is also overkill, one or the other as theyre too similar.

 

[devogue]

Gonna be a long old season if none of our front players are capable of holding the ball up to bring people in properly.

Davies and Gueye the only players who don't look total garbage.

Gueye has been crap imo but Kidman has stated he wants Another striker.

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

You can see they're 2 or 3 games into their season and we're still pre season.

100%. We're into our fourth pre-season game. They're into their 7th or 8th ACTUAL game. We do need to liven up though.

 

[D410]

Barry for IG
KM for Klaasen

 

[aglee]

Who's worse at attacking?

Gana Gueye or Magaye Gueye?

Both worse than Marvin

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Most teams will ditch two holding midfielders next season in place of one. It started halfway through last season.

Davies and Klaassen would be far more effective playing in front of Schneiderlin. I love Gueye, but he's definitely a player for certain situations, Schneiderlin is a much more rounded player.

 

[TheBigIguana]

If you have a team with not a lot of pace, quick movement of the ball makes up for it but we can't do that with guys like Jags and Williams getting touches because they are to unsure. Morgs been slow with it too

 

[Blues Harp]

That doesn't sound very Everton to me

Exactly ....remember UCD ??

 

[davek]

Utter tosh.

Two games so far and they look woeful. Can't find expach other and zero creativity.

 

[Kenshin]

We have no urgency in our play still.

Sandro runs himself into danger

Rooney falls over a lot

Second game in a row our wide player is not a wide player (hopefully means we are buying one)

 

[faddy the blue]

Dreadful. Too many midfielders, no killer pass and most importantly no finisher. Need some width and pace.

 

[Tubey]

Yeah, terrible. Things haven't clicked yet, to be fair the spine of the team has been ripped out over the last two seasons so it is what it is.

 

[Eggs]

....the blend certainly isn't there yet and the threat isn't there yet. They look relatively comfortable and as likely to score as us. If the team lacks pace the ball doesn't but we continue to delay in possession and invariably pass back or sideways. No midfielder regularly going past his opposite number.
