Match Thread Swansea v Everton. 19th Sep at 15.00.

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Or take mccarthy off and put ross deeper

I'd probs go for that, meself.

 

[USABlue]

Some great defending from both teams CBs.

 

[orly]

Take Kone outside and shoot him.

Something like 2 goals 3 assists in 27 games now

 

[LinekersLegs]

Bit scrappy and sloppy by both teams but glimpses at times of good football.

 

[Robertor]

Positives, back 4 barry and barkley have all played well

negatives - no width obviously, no penetration and kone, naismith and mccarthy have been poor

McCarthy's been brilliant, what have you been watching? Recovered the ball every single time it's been given away.

 

[Rook]

McCarthy might be the only player in the league who refuses to play a forward ball. He seems scared to play the ball forward for even the most obvious, simple passes.

Arteta and Joe Allen says hi.

 

[bicycleheader]

Good solid first half to build on

 

[blue4eva77]

His season has been below par imo.

Absolutely.

Very average so far. Far too casual for that position.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

John stones IS the best Centre back in the country.

Second best after Jags.

 

[bluestevon]

He's not had many people around him, maybe one or two options, and still under pressure from defenders in a far tighter area and space

kone on the other hand has the most space, and more players around him to pass to, but he's given it away about six times out of 15 passes.

get any two of Del, Mirallas or Lennon on with 30 mins left and Lukaku will get a brace here

 

[ianefc]

Good half good performance again. Some of the first touches and final balls have let us down. As things stand a win sends us 2nd and a loss puts us behind Watford and only 3 clear of Stoke.

 

[Jib in lad]

Wake up Rom ffs.

 

[Chang Elephant]

Barkley and Stones giants today

 

[bicycleheader]

Naismith very good in his positioning and defending, pity about a couple of poor touches in good moments.

 

[ilikecheese]

Decent half that. Need that final ball and movement in the box.
