Sunderland v Everton. 12th Sept at 2000.

[allen]

I think we'll win this. Sunderland haven't been bad, but I think we've got more scope for improvement - and although we've not been good, we've been the better side as it stands.

 

[BlueToff]

This, at least Ross and Bolasie have been on the ball and trying with the odd spark, Kev and Lukaku have been utterly anonymous.

Barkley has been very poor tonight - hoping he clicks into gear second half

 

[longers]

Poor first half, must be Barkleys worst half ever. Only Barry, Bolasie and Guye doing ok. Mirallas hasnt improved, when he gets the ball he passes backwards or sideways, no hunger to get forward. Baines isnt as he was two years ago.

Away to Chelsea in martinezs first season (or maybe second...), that was his worst ever half.

Away to spurs back when moyes was in charge he had an absolute stinker as well but that was years back.

Chris, that was awful.

Barkley off, Del on. Put Mirallas behind Rom.

Who's Chris........

 

[MikeH72]

Id have more end product than Boalasie playing barefoot.

He's created our only chance tbh, why don't you take a look towards golden boy for our lack of creativity

 

[EvertonRhys]

That last kick of the half summed it all up.
Big team talk and let's finish these off before they get confident.

Only thing I'm confident of is that Moyes will have them settling for a draw. Snore draw all the way.

 

[gonetomorrow]

The defence is doing ok. Not creating anything up front and careless in midfield. Get Deulo on pronto i say.

 

[Goonymook]

The attacking crew has been super lackluster but the everyone else especially gueye and Barry have been running things

 

[ProZ]

Came very close to setting up a goal for lukaku, stopped by a great save, but yeah sure, he's sh*te

One out of 10 crosses has found a man so yeah hes [Poor language removed].

 

[peteblue]

I think we'll win this. Sunderland haven't been bad, but I think we've got more scope for improvement - and although we've not been good, we've been the better side as it stands.

We've been the only side playing any football.......

 

[PeregrineT]

Lukaku has been worse. At least Barkley is on the ball and being crap, whereas Lukaku has done absolutely nothing.

Bizarre analysis.

 

[Tubey]

Yet out of nowhere pulled off that great header.

Regardless of what that dope Beglin (I think it's him) is saying on Sky, it was a cracking effort. Great save.

All three of Rom, Barks and Kev need to improve though. Too often there's a huge gap between the midfield and Rom, which neither Barkley or Mirallas are plugging, and that leads to us playing it hopefully to Rom and losing the ball.

It was a shocking header. Perfect height on the cross, on a plate, put it the only place the keeper could have saved it.

He needs hauling off and sent the message that he's not untouchable.

 

[Carlito]

Kirchhoff is quality.

He joins Capoue on my January shopping list.

 

[ggooggooggoo]

Ross been ok imo

 

[paulbefc]

Having said we should bring Deulofeu on, I can't really remember him making much of an impact off the bench for us in the past.
