Sunderland v Everton. 9th Nov at 13.30.

Bad reffing can't explain away a poor performance. We got what we deserved.

Totally agree. But them playing with 10 men for 60 minutes could have made a difference. Lukaku biggest culprit today though. A 28m striker should be able to make a difference, he was terrible today, easily his worst performance for us

Lukaku was absolutely gash today

Was he really? Wow, I thought he ran them ragged after reading the comments on here

 

[Dozbik]

What can you say... a weak performance from us. Having got Barry sidelined long-term is a big blow too.

And don't blame the ref now, we never ever deserved a win here.

I'm 90 minutes closer to death

Suppose there's that. Thanks mate.

Well you guys just had a taste test of what the Hyundai A-league is like. We get that pedesdrian dross every week over here. Zero intensity and noboby felt like winning. I had never really watched a game from the premier league where a lack of spirit was so evident.

Im just slowing down the forum here. ALA everton v sunderland

God Howard again please get rid.

That goal is on Howard unless I see evidence that players moved.

And lying on the ball? Jesus.

No it didn't. We couldn't score against Swansea when they got a red. It didn't make a difference to the score.

We're playing like AVB's Spurs. It's awful. We never look like scoring. Lukaku looks lost, the team have no confidence.

We needed Besic on as he can switch play and hit a cross field pass. So can Barkley but not being played on the left.

So far we have played Lukaku there. Barkley there. It was obvious before the season started we needed a replacement for Pienaar. Why on earth did we not buy one. We have the money.

We just creamed Lille on Thursday. Some of our movement today was top notch: Eto'o's pass to put Coleman in. Lukaku had a poor game and that cost a lot of possession, but genuinely think you are overreacting.

 

[PhilM]

Are we starting to see the effects of the Europa League, or is this simply a case of teams realising how we play combined with underperformance?

 

[riddick]

Honestly have a feeling Martinez has no idea who he thinks his best team is atm. The whole squad looks disjointed. Look at how boss Ross looked the couple times he was playing through the middle. If you are going to play Lukaku, Ross and Eto'o, it needs to be as a 2 striker front with Ross behind.

 

[TheDude19]

Need Oviedo on the left I reckon. When's he back? 8 weeks?

 

[R.Reddington]

West Ham at home is going to be dire.

Give it up for me.

Good times.

We need to not play this pissy passy football all the time, passing the ball 50 times to progress an inch up the field. Sometimes is ok, but try something different.....we are far too predictable

 

[MikeH72]

We need someone to resuscitate Mirallas
