Match Thread Wolves v Everton - Team Prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[RomanReigns]

I’m very disappointed by this performance

 

[evertony]

Beaten by a much better team on the day. Heavy legs and limited options and probably the wrong formation.

 

[PITA]

Oh and by the way, they beat us at home.

They did. That is indisputable. However, they still have earned 11 points less than us this season. That is also indisputable.

I know it's all if's and but's...

Pickford
Coleman Tarkowski Branthwaite Mykolenko
Patterson Onana McNeil Garner Harrison
Cal-Lewin
​

Was that todays play? Harrison can't hit a first time cross with his right, so with Doucoure out give McNeil a run to try a through ball? Lock a flank down and play to our strengths instead of being so daft wide open to every run they could time.

Oh and by the way, they beat us at home.

Southampton and Leicester beat us at home last season and they both got relegated.

Lack of options , injuries and too many games in a busy period. That was a tired performance, coupled with the wrong tactics on the day.

No bench, no plan B…in Prem league you get sussed out pretty quickly

There was a bench and there was a plan B. But plan B needed executing after 20 mins, not 60.

A couple of huge mismatches. DCL v Dawson and Hwang v Keane. Keane was awful. We needed to go to plan B, back 4 (Keane off, Gomes on) much earlier.

I’m very disappointed by this performance

Looks like the games have caught up with us. Lacklustre performance, Wolves had all the energy and determination to win the game. Looks like we are desperate for the much less hectic January where the players get some rest and nurse a few back to full fitness.

 

[If You Know Your History]

We had a similar amount of possession to Wolves and a similar number of shots to them (10 to their 12), but they were incredibly clinical and we weren't.

Either way I won't berate our players and our manager given all that they continue to give for this club of ours. In net terms we have spent almost nothing on transfers during these last couple of years and we are missing Doucoure desperately. Despite all this we are still only 2 points behind Chelsea, presuming that the absurdly disproportionate points deduction is rescinded.

Onwards and upwards.

 

[Eggs]

…it wasn’t the defeat, it was the manner of the defeat that was most concerning.

The back 5 worked at Burnley when we had injuries and suspensions to overcome but we came unstuck against superior opposition yesterday. The system allowed Wolves to dominate midfield and exploit the defence with overlap out wide and Hwang’s pace in central areas.

 

[Sharpies volley]

They did. That is indisputable. However, they still have earned 11 points less than us this season. That is also indisputable.

I never said it wasn't. My point was that when they go behind they've still got a chance, we don't look like we've got it in us to come back.

 

[Sharpies volley]

Southampton and Leicester beat us at home last season and they both got relegated.

Well let's hope that's the case this season too.

 

[Sadken]

Lack of options , injuries and too many games in a busy period. That was a tired performance, coupled with the wrong tactics on the day.

Dyche said fatigue was a factor,so why not put fresh legs on at half time .make as many changes as possible in the cup, not arsed about it, don't want another nail biting end to the season.

Injuries have left us with a very limited central midfield and it showed yesterday right from the off with missing the energy of Gana Gueye and Doucoure really showed how Dyche has got to get around this midfield paucity.
