Second Half Performance

[toffee matt]

utterly Discraceful that

 

[TrixyStevens]

Manager and players were a disgrace.

 

[rascal]

Did anyone turn up?

 

[LocalNative]

Bottlers mate. Blame the players not the manager here. No fight or desire and Lukaku completely isolated.

Barry too old and slow for a game of that intensity. Barkley shocking.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Absolute gang of horrors, lash them all in the mersey the vermin

HATE THEM

LET US DOWN EVERY FECKIN TIME

 

[evilwebby]

The least I expect is total commitment from start to finish. If we get beat then I can live with that. What I can't accept is that this lot think it's acceptable to go in level at half time and then not turn up when there's still half a match to play. Utterly disgraceful is right. To call themselves "professionals" is a joke. Pros turn up and put in a shift. These are just a bunch of clueless overpaid idiots who can kick the ball around a bit. I've never been more angry at the state of our pathetic club.

Said it in the match thread, we had a game plan which worked almost all of the first half. Then McCarthy was injured. Then just as we were about to change our shape Stek got injured and forced our second sub.

Other than Coleman and Gana nobody was anywhere near the level they should've been second half though regardless.

 

[rochdaleblue]

They upped their game second half no doubt, but we looked a spent force, as soon as McCarthy went off. The lack of quality in the final third was frankly embarrassing.

 

[ah11984]

Ale house tactics. Professional footballers with zero composure on the ball.

 

[tim cahill]

Doubt we strung more than 3 passes together 2nd half. Deserved to lose really.

 

[allen]

We played the second 45 like it was extra time.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

McCarthy went out we looked a different team. Shades of Martinez era

 

[efcjames]

It shows we're a genuinely strange club

 

[COYB]

the players dont get the fans atall do they?? no not because we lost
but that shithouse performance AGAIN.. especially home night game in the derby
im NEA about the 'first 20 mins we bossed it bollox' a match is 90 mins
good portion of them players dont give a F about the club its a disgrace

 

[dannyboy]

Worst at Goodison I can remember in a while.

Only the same as numerous halves we have played this season, just hurts more as this game mattered more to us. Sadly it clearly didn't to those on the pitch.
