Match Thread Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[sladen90]

Wolves and Fulham were absolute crap and looked like Championship teams, yet we lost to both.

But could of quite easily beat both.

 

[Bebeto]

Sickening . Another bloody smash and grab

We will have some of those as well this season...its painful now, but it tends to balance itself out over the course of a season. Right now we are extremely unlucky on all fronts.

Currently boiling alive in Venice and just seen the final score lol lol frauds to a man, manager included.

 

[Ragnar]

But could of quite easily beat both.

But didn’t, so it’s 6 points lost

 

[banno]

Commentator just said 3 defeats no goals is worst in our history so that is around 135 years. Hard one to take

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

The worst part of it is the ball under the shirt and thumb sucking goal celebration.

Either do the Romario baby-rock thing or sod off and keep the news of your reproduction to yourself.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Going to be a record breaking bad start this. Cannot remember the last time we lost the first 3 on the trot.

According to the commentary on the game I watched it’s another Everton first to lose the first 3 and score no goals.

What is the point?

Official ratings:

Pickford - 5 - Almost cost us a goal due to indecision, should have been out for their actual goal.
Patterson - 4 - The lad's got nothing about him at all.
Tarkowski - 4 - Looks awful. Some captain's performance that. Terrible in possession, terrible first touch, and terrible attempt at marking for their goal.
Branthwaite - 7 - Did nothing at all wrong and looked very calm on the ball.
Young - 3 - Absolutely atrocious today, definitely not the answer. He must have floated the ball slowly into the goalkeeper's arms over 10 times.
Onana - 3 - Yet another anonymous performance to go with the rest of them. Terrible, offered nothing whatsoever.
Gueye - 3 - Finished. Nothing else to say.
Doucouré - 5 - Energetic but quality-wise appalling. That header simply had to go in and he didn't even connect with it properly under no pressure.
Garner - 6 - Again played in a position he doesn't want to be in. Either play him central or don't play him. Better yet put him right back in place of the Scottish crab.
Dobbin - 5 - A few nice flicks but looked extremely lightweight and Semedo had him in his pocket while he was on the pitch.
Danjuma - 6 - Looked ok, positive at least but initial thoughts are he'll struggle to get blue more than a few goals this season.

-

Dyche - 5 - I respect the fact he finally made the necessary changes to his team and it's not his fault he's got a Championship squad. For once not an awful lot he could do about it.

Absolute nonsense as per

 

[Shevin Keedy]

If they see we're this crap then mabe they let us off with the points deduction; is that possible?

 

[Cool_Blue]

How long is McNeil out for?

 

[bullybeef]

Clueless.

I still think the players can do better, I just don’t think Sean is getting the best out of em.

 

[daza_1973]

Just wait till we guaranteed get made example of in October.
And city get off scott free.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

A Championship team that should've been playing in the Championship this season. Accept it.

 

[Sona]

Difference in the game: Wolves’ keeper Jose Sa coming to claim balls into the box with authority; Pickford literally standing behind his own goal line for a ball into the 6 yard box.

Once again, we created enough chances whilst limiting the opposition chances. Fine margins in the defeat and if we’d have sorted the striker situation before the season started, we’d have beaten both Fulham & Wolves based on chances created.
