I detest this stuff but I like him so I'm making an exception.

Diniyar Bilyaletdinov: We don't pass the ball and we can't hold on to a lead - Everton winger hits out at slump | Mail Online

Bily is ripping our playing style too there, he's got a point like.

 

[Hayee]

He's spot on. Also, conceding goals in the first few mins of the second half is something we need to eradicate too! I blame Jo

 

[ToxtethBlue]

He's not wrong but Bilyaletdinov has come into the side and offered little from open play, lets be honest. In terms of creativity anyway, he's scored the odd goal here and there and disappeared for long periods.

Basically, do something about it Bilya, improve our style of play.

i agree, he's not adapted well yet and in some games looks as if he's given up! come on Bily, sort it or you'll warm the bench

 

[chicoazul]

Agreed, he could get more involved like.

Its the hoofballers at the back TB, you should know that. Not much a wing man can do if the ball is being lumped up time after time.

Gives you the sheeeeetz if youve ever played out wide.

There's no doubting we go long from the back far too much, I agree with that.

But when Bilyaletdinov gets the ball he should be doing alot more with it, not just passing on responsibility and taking the easy option. And he's done that far too much for my liking.

I don't expect miracles, I understand that new players need time and I'm not expecting him to dominate games but I do expect him to try and make things happen and fulfill the role he's been bought here for. He has the ability to do it.

No place to say anything after the shambles he turned in at Chelsea. I have not screamed at a player at the comfort of my own computer in a similar manner ever. The lazy get. Slow feet, slow thought, slow running. But quick to get the knife in and throw some condemnation around? Lay off the vodka, it did Shandy no good. Bad footsteps to follow...

He needs to look in the mirror and offer us something before he has a go even if he is right. Step up your game Billy, i want to like ya lad i really do, but you need to do better

I think he's bang on though.

The team are psychologically rooted for whatever reason this year. Injuries, Lescott, whatever has happened, they better find their happy place pretty quick, get the ball on the deck and cut these teams open.

It just takes abit of luck, a couple of fresh heads in the mix, and getting back to basics.

I don't blame Billy. Especially if he taps up the Zirk, or other boss Russian players.

Or an oligarch or two.

To be fair Billy is not the type of player who dribble or rely on pace to go up and down the flank, never was. Look at clip of him in russia and you'll know.
He rely on playing triangles and one two passing to create space for himself. This is the only way to find space if you are not pacy enough. It may also be misunderstood as giving up responsibility when in possesion. If we hoof too often, its no surprise that he became a passenger.

TB did you not notice some of the quality thru balls he made? What about assist? I have a feeling he can offer a lot more in the middle. Which is a pity because we sign him as winger.

Has no one noticed the name/topic of this thread? The link to Zhirkov was the thing that most interested me when I read the article! :huh:

I'm actually please that Billy voice out our problems. We've been crying out loud for a coach who can make us play better or at least provide some ideas for Moyes.
No harm done imo.

Can't help it mate, the first post was already about Billy. Blame that pineapple melt.
