Who went off for VDB?

Doc, who was shocking, bad sign when your getting a first half hook in a dead game for us.

Bloody river went off before the goal, was it decent and is it 2-1 ht

Not really bothered about the result just dissapointed that we haven't had a go from kick off.

The idea that what got us battered for a half at home to Palace was magically going to work days later with worse players was a bit of a stretch.

Nice to see a midfielder getting in the box from deep for a change aswell from VDB.

Iwobi again showing he's the only one who can play a forward pass into a dangerous area. He can't be stranded at RB going forward unless we find a whole new midfield that is better.

Good work from DCL and VDB.

Dououre

Yes and yes

Injured ia ssume, bad one?

He seemed annoyed at being subbed but NBC comms said he had an ice pack on so not sure

I think the back five is because we don’t have enough central midfielders to be honest. Frank has historically favoured a 433 I believe

Let’s hope so. He played a back 3 a lot at Chelsea, not sure about Derby. He’s said he likes the back three because it lets you create angles in midfield but yet to see that panning out.

He walked off

I'm not getting on the managers back yet. But he's hardly done anything. He basically got all the players back from injury, made 3 signings and kept us in the position we were already in when he took over.

We look crap against Arsenal here who also are playing for nothing as spurs were already 2 nil up at the time we conceded first and they knew that. I'm struggling to see how lampard turns this around next season because it's the worst Everton side I've seen for years and he's going to want to play us in a less effective style for sure

Another clueless one.

 

[TheBigIguana]

The question was has he done anything good, you listed 2 games, 1 of which we drew.

I mean LOL.

We've been really bad for long stretches, I don't know what else to tell you.

That first paragraph is up there with the worst mince I've ever had the displeasure reading on this site.

Doucoure.

That's just a fact mate. We are in the same spot as when he took over.

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

Down 2-0, we have 'em where we want 'em.

They should be nervous.
